You must not read many blogs, and you call yourselves the Blogger News Network? "Acting too white" has been the rallying cry among the more extreme of liberal Hillary-supporters against Obama ever since he announced his intention to run. “If a white person had said that Barack Obama was ‘acting white’ you can bet your bottom dollar they’d be calling for his head on a pike.”

Obama has to play it safe and I understand that but this is a hate crime. I don't feel that I have to get into specifics of the case becuse everyone knows what's going on. Saying that, I don't agree with Jackson saying that Obama is "acting white" because that could hurt him with black voters. I do believe that Obama is a sincere person and I pray he wins.

I've searched and searched for the quote in regards to Jesse Jackson saying that Obama was acting white and though I don't like Jesse and wanted to find it so I could talk crap about him nothing came up. Interested to know exactly what your source is for him saying Obama was acting white. There was quite a bit of outrage on the black blogs (do you go to them) up until someone asked where everyone got the info from and then we were all like, "We don't have a source." We all looked. Googled, went to various new sites, pretty much all that is left is lexis-nexis, if you have access, that would be awesome. The quote has got to be somewhere if he said it. I think this maybe a rumor, but seriously if you have the source of that info, let me know. Yeah and the double standard in regards to this country is totally appalling. Jesse Jackson indirectly insulting white people by allegedly saying Obama is acting white is pretty much the same as a kid being tried as an adult for murder at a school fight or a 17 year old black boy doing ten years adult time for having consensual oral sex with a 15 year old white girl. An insult by one person that doesn't control your life, your destiny or your economics is pretty much the same as a system that systematically ruins black kid’s lives for fun. www.thebusbench.com Browne Why there is no outrage.

Is there some superiority in "acting white"? Charles Manson, Jeffrey Dalmer, Ted Bundy are white and the list goes on. Are they included in your club?
