Every time I start to think I have seen or heard about every bizarre behavior that mankind has to offer I get unpleasantly reminded that "you ain't seen nuthin' yet". Case in point, the Reverend Jesse Jackson stating ( off the record mind you) that he would like to "cut his nuts off" referring to Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. To be perfectly honest I was stunned, for a number of reasons. Let us list the ways:
- Stunned that a so called man of the cloth would say something so vile even IF he thought he was in a private conversation.
- Stunned that a black "man" could muster that much venom towards another that is trying to do something of such historic significance.
- Stunned that what appears to be nothing more than jealousy spurred on Reverend Jackson, not to mention Reverend Wright to harbor this type of hostility towards Obama. Reverend Jackson...Reverend Wright...hmmm ... Reverend Wright...Reverend Jackson. Do you notice a trend or is it just me?
With all do respect It's time for you so called "spiritual" leaders to take a step in the direction of a mirror for little self evaluation. Perhaps the nuts that need to be on the chopping block are little closer to home than you would like to admit.

It is a tragedy for our race to continue to bring each other down...and on National T.V.! But, I have to disagree with you J.D.- not all black spiritual leaders are the problem- unfortunately some make all look bad. I would love to give you a list of some that bring the word in a healthy, edifying, and sincere manner.(T.D. Jakes, Bishop Nate Holcomb, and Rev. Daly Barnes)- all black men who have no history of scandal in their church and their teachings have lead me to be blessed in my daily living.
