BlackCommentator.com [http://www.blackcommentator.com] hasn't yet weighed in on this story about A. Jackson's latest anti-black [and illegal] action, but I'm sure they will. Wonder when the national black talk radio channel XM 169/THE POWER will be barbecuing Jackson about this? THE POWER's black female talk radio host, Dr. Barbara Reynolds, barbecued Jackson for his anti-black remarks last year about saying that the 9th ward of New Orleans should be turned into a parking lot, for Reynolds said it was representative of Jackson's (and other right wing white conservatives AND right wign black conservatives) anti-black right wing racist desires to see all African-Americans dead. I'm sure that Reynolds, along with "The Black Eagle" Joe Madison, George Wilson, Dr. Wilmer Leon, Ambrose I. Lane Senior, Jay Bryant, and Mark Thompson, along with THE POWER's black callers, will all be blasting and barbecuing Jackson till he's overdone and disintegrated for this latest lie he's told!
