What Is Done In The Dark…


…will come to light

OMG! What is the deal with Rev. Jesse Jackson? First, it is released in the media that he wants to cut off Barack Obama’s testicles and now we find out that he is still using the “N” word. Is the world going to come to an end? Well, yes it is but not because of the good reverend. Jesse Jackson was publicly exposed for having a child outside of his marriage to Mrs. Jacqueline Jackson I just don’t understand how Jesse can want to mutilate Barack Obama for asking men who have fathered children to do more as a parent? Is it guilt?

This is a portion of the speech Obama gave on Father’s Day earlier this year:

“…Yes, we need more cops on the street. Yes, we need fewer guns in the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Yes, we need more money for our schools, and more outstanding teachers in the classroom, and more after school programs for our children. Yes, we need more jobs and more job training and more opportunity in our communities.

But we also need families to raise our children. We need fathers to realize that responsibility does not end at conception. We need them to realize that what makes you a man is not the ability to have a child – it's the courage to raise one.

We need to help all the mothers out there who are raising these kids by themselves; the mothers who drop them off at school, go to work, pick up them up in the afternoon, work another shift, get dinner, make lunches, pay the bills, fix the house, and all the other things it takes both parents to do. So many of these women are doing a heroic job, but they need support. They need another parent. Their children need another parent. That's what keeps their foundation strong. It's what keeps the foundation of our country strong.” http://www.barackobama.com/2008/06/15/remarks_of_senator_barack_obam_78.php

To me this is the old “kill the messenger” or cut off his testicles attitude. It reminds me of the child in school who doses not get enough attention at home. So when he gets to school he acts out in class. For this child any attention, even attention for bad behavior is good because it is attention.

November 27, 2006 Rev. Jackson asked that people stop using the “N” word. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/11/27/entertainment/main2211059.shtml Guess what word Jackson has been using lately? So much for practice what you preach. This almost makes me wonder what else we will find out about Rev. Jackson…Hmm. My mom used to say what is done in the dark will eventually come to the light.
