I don't care WHAT Andrew Cuomo OR Jessie Jackson Jr. are saying! Do you?
Here are two less accomplished offspring of more famous (or infamous) outspoken individuals...

...they go on TV to get some face time for their respective candidate and stir up some name-recognition, say stupid, inflammatory shit, and now we're attacking them like they're the candidates themselves! They're NOT--just more talking heads!

I don't believe Hillary is a racist...I don't believe Obama is a race-baiter...but I do believe that if this is the level of discourse on the subject, we ALL have a long way to go when it comes to racial identity politics! Cuomo, Jackson, Obama, Clinton, CNN, MSNBC, You, and Me.

We're ALL still struggling with the issue of race in America. End of story.

1. Jess Jackon Jr is a sexist.
I think Jesse Jackson Jr is a sexist, he is exploiting the sexist talks that Hillary was crying and called her Mrs. Clinton instead of Senator Clinton.

8. Most of us here don't care. There are maniac supporters of Clinton or Obama here
who will go to any length to make the other one look bad, whether it is justified or not.
