If Obama manages to win somehow,
what government positions do you think Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson will get?
Discuss.

How so, because the two people mentioned happen to be black?
How many touchdowns will Harrison and Addai get on Tony Dungy's team this year. Is that racist?
Towards the discussion, to be honest I do not see them receiving a position in the cabinet.

No thats not racist, because they happen to play on his team. But mentioning 2 black people, who have no connection to Obama or the presidential race, and asking what government postions they will get is pretty racist in my opinion.

This is a completely racist statement. Kind of like me saying, "If McCain wins, what position will David Duke have?". Why don't you just ask if he'll be serving fried chicken and watermelon at his swearing in?
It may not be the most offensive bigoted remark ever, but how can you suggest that this statement is not racist?
Every so often, some of the McCain supporter's true colors shine through.

Not a chance on the two you listed, maybe Jesse Jackson Jr.
He will surround himself with smart people in the industries. Like any good business manager would. If the running of his campaign is any indication of how he will manage as a President, then it will be virtually flawless. Even you Obama opponents have to agree he has run his campaign 1000% smarter and better than McCain.

Is it racist? Yes. Are Sharpton and Jackson racist? Yes. I cant think of anyone else, though, that would rally up the black vote and black voter confidence better than those 2 knuckleheads.

Obama has not sucked up those two ambulance chasing rabble rousers who wouldn't know a real job if it walked up to them and dope slapped them in the face.
Sure Obama has the vast majority of the black vote but that alone will not get him into the White House. His support, unless you haven't heard, is pretty widespread among a wide range of racial and ethnic types in America.
Are Jesse and Al racists? absolutely IMHO. Do they have anything to do with Obamas success? absolutely not. I feel that your associating them with Obama, apparently just because they and he are black, does indeed smack of racism. I am an Obama supporter and I can't imagine him getting within a mile of these two toxic losers.
A better question in your original post might have been "Jesse and AL-is there a place for them in an Obama cabinet? Discuss" or "Jesse and Al-why hasn'r Obama embraced them? Discuss"
You can say a lot of things about Obama, but as zman1 says above, Obama is nothing if not one of the smartes and savviest politicians in the country. Her is waaaaaay too smart to have anything to do with Jesse and Al.
Crimzy's point about McCain embracing David Duke is very well taken. McCain (a man who I respect BTW) has as much to do with David Duke as Obama has had to do with Jesse and Al.
So, if you want to discuss race, lets do it in an honest and straighforward manner instead of engaging in loaded race baiting questions.

Yes, they are all black. But more significantly they are also far left liberal Democrats who preach about how down trodden and doomed their constituents are. Although, if obama is elected(God forbid), it will take considerable wind out of their argument that a "black man can't get ahead in America".

Mr. Obama has been "associated" with racist people before so why is that such a racist thing to say
I mean are you forgetting his association with the racist preacher and Farrakhan?? Wake up people , if you associate with racist people for like 20+yrs then suddenly renounce the relationship when it works for your political career......

Psst ..by the way , you "assuming" that CFR meant it as a racist statement is a racist assumption.....everyone is so quick to pull the trigger on the race thing! it is getting really OLD!!!
