Sandy GholstonThere is nothing wrong with being black and conservative and there is nothing wrong with being a black Tea Party person. It would be crazy not to think that there are blacks from all walks of life with political ideologies that run the full spectrum (from conservative to liberal). I used to be a conservative (not that most people would believe me), and not all that long ago. But, there is something wrong when you have far-right racism deniers like tea party “activist” Kevin Jackson trying to seemingly equate Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to a sort of slave master (reference the passage below as compiled by Media Matters for America):
O’Reilly hosts tea party activist who says it “would have been more symbolic had [Pelosi] had a whip.” On The O’Reilly Factor, tea party activist Kevin Jackson characterized the walk to the Capitol by Pelosi and other members of Congress on the day the House voted for health care reform as “this very wealthy white lady leading a group of black, you know, men up to the thing with her gavel in her hand. It would have been more symbolic had she had a whip.” [The O'Reilly Factor, 3/31/10]
Jackson, who ignores blatant racism associated with tea party activities, bends over backward to accuse Democrats of racism. His comment about the whip are a clear illustration that he has sold his soul and is willing to do and say whatever it takes to stay in good standing on the right … to retain most favored Negro status (right alongside Jesse Lee Peterson, who has a long and dubious history of making anti-black racist comments on Fox News, generally unchallenged, and on his own radio show).
Sandy,I just heard of this self-hating negro, this morning for the first time. I was listening to a podcast of the YOUNG TURKS and they were railing on him. I stopped looking at faux noise because I believe it effects my karma!! ..REALLY!!!!..LOL!!
HR GETS PAID TO ATTEND THE TEA PARTY RALLIES!!
THAT SAYS IT ALL!!!
Peterson is JUST PLAIN CRAZY, aside from being a SELF-LOATHING, “I AM NOT’, BLACK MAN!!!!!
If Kevin Jackson was “not” getting paid to speak at Tea Party rallies or did “not” have a book to promote/sell I doubt he would still be attending these 99.99% white Tea Parties.
I mean come on really! Get real!
It’s a tough economy, need to make a few bucks anyway you can.
I’ll bet you’ll never hear Kevin Jackson “publically” praising his Obama tax cut but instead secretly grateful for it.
