Um...isn't there more important things he could be focused on ?

Jesse needs a new hairdo

This is a repost Burns.

Jesse can want in one hand and sh1t in the other and we'll see which one gets filled first. Of course he and the "Rainbow Coalition" will end up making this a racial thing and the producers will probably cave in order to be PC.

Jessie Jackson is my hero.

How else in this country can you never have worked a day in your life and be a multi-millionairre?

Cedric the Entertainer plays an old cantankerous barber who jokes about King's alleged promiscuity.

The character also says other blacks refused to give up their seats to whites in the segregated south, but that Rosa Parks got the credit because she was connected to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He also directs an expletive at Jackson.

Gee, I wonder which part Jessie was complaining about. This doesn't have anything to do with King, that comment just an emotional add-on to his own personal agenda. Do you really think that in the context and topic used, that his family really cares? No, I don't, and I wouldn't in their place. I think he fails to realize that most comedy is funny because it is insulting and pointing out a fault of another group. Comedies that satirize a certain political figure are made all of time, and by pointing out and/or laughing at their faults and mistakes we can learn something from them. But OH NO NOT BLACK PEOPLE.

Director Malcolm Lee, whose films include "The Best Man," and "Undercover Brother," called the brouhaha "a little silly."

Seriously, what do you expect from this director. Undercover Brother was nothing more than MAKE FUN OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BLACK AND WHITE SECRET AGENTS CAUSE IT IS FUNNY!!! Other movies like Rush Hour (1 or 2) are the same thing, but when I went the movie theater was packed with a mostly black audience in a town of mostly whites. The difference is that Mr. Lee has no testicles and cannot stand up for his work.

Jessie Jackson really bothers me...he has no reason to live. Am I a racist? Yes, but I treat everyone equally. It's minority groups like Jackson's who claim to stand up for the oppressed minorities but only seek out their own interests that piss me off.

You know, I've always wondered how many Asians, Indo-Asians, American Indians, South Americans, Latinos, Arabs, and Mediterraneans are in the NAACP. I think they should rename themselves the NAABP.

Jesse Jackson is a shakedown artist, nothing more or less.
