Speaks for itself .....he's obviously insinuating that Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) is an "Uncle Tom" if he doesn't go along free heath care for everyone who claims they can't afford it now when he said this last night.
Jesse Jackson: 'You can't vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man'
And of course the msm gives him a pass on it. It's the same old same race division he's always sold, even causing division amongst the people he claims to represent, and remember he once said this about his new Health care buddy Obama that he all of a sudden feels the need to go out and run cover for on this health care boongoggle they're so close to passing after 40 years of trying....
TheHill.com: "The Rev. Jsse Jackson on Wednesday night criticized Rep. Artur Davis (D-Ala.) for voting against the Democrats’ signature healthcare bill.
“We even have blacks voting against the healthcare bill,” Jackson said at a reception Wednesday night. “You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.”"
The remark stirred a murmur at the reception, held by the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Foundation as part of a series of events revolving around the 25th anniversary of Jackson’s run for president. Several CBC members were in attendance, including Chairwoman Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who’d introduced Jackson.
Davis, who is running for governor, is the only black member of Congress from Alabama.
He is also the only member of the CBC to have voted against the healthcare bill earlier this month.
Davis referred to Jackson’s 1988 run for president in a statement, issued through his office, that said he would not engage Jackson on his criticism.
“One of the reasons that I like and admire Rev. Jesse Jackson is that 21 years ago he inspired the idea that a black politician would not be judged simply as a black leader,” Davis’s statement said. “The best way to honor Rev. Jackson’s legacy is to decline to engage in an argument with him that begins and ends with race.”
What a cop out...now that there's a multiracial president wasn't he, Sharpton and the others supposed to have been marginalized by Obama's achievement? I thought so.
