I think in their drive for civil rights Jackson and Sharpton have themselves become racist. I can't stand it how it is ok for black people to say things that white people can't. I'm not just talking about comments about their own race also. Somehow it is ok for black people to deride white people because of their skin color. Where were Sharpton and Jackson when a man was testifying before congress that we should "Kill all the white people"?

It's PC baby. It's ok for everyone to rail against the "evil white man devil" but have him say 1 word just 1 word out of line and..... well he'll be gone in a heartbeat. Regardless of whether it was even meant in a mean way.
Look at Howard Cosell, he fought for equal rights and even Ali would talk about how Cosell was someone that fought for the Black man.... but he says "watch that monkey run" not meaning anything derogatory or mean spirited and he gets his ass canned.
Yet, we can have men from "minority" backgrounds just trash the whole white race and if we say anything we're the racists.
If it's wrong one way and gets rebuked then it is wrong the other way and the same people need to rebuke it or they truly aren't looking for equality but power and to drive fear into those that may speak out against them.
