Jack & Jill Politics

Al should have been going after this guy for years, his anti-Arab and gay cartoons have been horrible and everyone's been quiet.

Top 10 Offensive New York Post Cartoons

Anyone remember all those political cartoons depicting George W. as a chimp? Racism!!!

Ten of the best cartoons I've seen. We can only hope Uncle Al is on his way out. By the way, does anyone on here know what they're talking about?

Can someone please tell me if Uncle Al staged a "march" after Steven Pagones was exonerated? Did he and his crew ever apologize? I can't remember.

"I'm an activist."

Has Rev. Sharpton been feeling well lately? I notice he's lost a lot of weight, and his suit sort of had an odd fit when he sat down with Keith Olbermann.

That crossed my mind too. If he is I hope he can beat it.

I was just watching a bit of Olbermann's show that I had TiVo and wondered the same thing. He has that gauntness I sometimes see with cancer patients.

I've been seeing him around town at certain events, he actually looks more gaunt in person. On tv, he actually looks better, more healthy. Keep praying y'all.

Like I said, I may not agree with everything he says, but he's always been one of the few who highlights the concerns of Black women. Especially as it relates to hip-hop. So I always stick up for him in my inner circles.

JunePearl: Thanks for your input!! :>)

Nate: Yes! Same thing. I'm concerned. Prayin' for him!

Me too, GreenLady!

I pray God watch over him and protect him. Father help him to keep his strength. In Jesus Name.

a morning amen to your prayer from last night with fred hammond singing "jesus be a fence" in the background. thank you.

That's the way to start the day, singing good Praise & Worship to the Lord!

Thank You! Have a blessed day!

Nate,

I thought I was the only one noticing the weight loss. Rev Al's face is a lot slimmer.

I've been seeing this all day. Every time I read all the analyses and hear all the conversations, the only that comes to mind is:

Post-racial society, my a$$.

Side note: The press seems determined to make sure Sharpton stays relevant. For reals. ... that being said, I actually agree with him 8 times out of 10.

Sharpton had a great line when responding to Keith's [fair] citation that people often don't like his involvement in news topics of the day, that he's a publicity opportunist: "I'm glad that they finally acknowledge that I do my job [as an activist] well."

JunePearl: HeeeeeeeY!! Good ta hear from U!! :>) Happy New Year! :>)

Hey GreenLady!!!!!!!!!!!

I've always kept up, hun! Just didn't have much to add the dialogue. Until the post a while back re: Ford as a possible for Sec. of Commerce (like, for real?!).

Junepearl: Ooooo-kaaay! :>) :>) Keep in touch! :>)

Rev. Al didn't draw that racist cartoon. Rev. Al didn't publish that racist cartoon.

That's new for me... I haven't heard anyone accuse Sharpton of being the source of the cartoons. Man, I'm so out of the loop, lol!

Is there a link somewhere where I can see who's been saying that?

oldest trick in the book - the NYPost trying to find contention with Rev. Al, totally sideswiping responsibility for the racist cartoon. But, folks aren't falling for that mess.

We told them this is a new age. Same mess is NOT going to have the same reaction. Shoot, we know what this is! They're so upset about this backlash. I haven't read the Post in years for this same reason. They actually do stuff like this on a regular basis.

rikyrah: TA-RUE DAT! :>)

As my mom usta say - - - "Oh, Girl. That's so old that it has "WHISKERS!" :>) :>)

I know you better keep on saying that!

Let's not even get this shit twisted.
