It is not earth shattering news for me to tell you that Jesse Jackson is a reverend, but did you also know that he was a Genetic Engineer specializing in cutting edge ethnic identification theories never previously considered? Me neither. Yet on Wednesday November the 18th when Rep. Arthur Davis (D-Ala.) informed the Congressional Black Caucus that he was not voting for the healthcare legislation the now Dr. Jackson decided the time had come to share his work with the audience. According to Jackson’s radical theory:
You can’t vote against healthcare and call yourself a black man.
Very enlightening. Conversely the Bio-Science Institute at Ohio State has been using the following outdated techniques to determine ones skin color / ethnicity:
Light skinned and dark skinned individuals have similar numbers of melanocytes but pigment containing organelles, called melanosomes, are larger, more numerous, and more pigmented in dark compared to intermediate compared to light skin.
Just think some poor parent has worked their whole life to put their child through college only have to have their child fed such antiquated information. It’s tragic really. All of this time they only had to ask Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, or any number of other master geneticist on the left about the true way to determine ethnicity. It’s not about genetics like so many so called scientist have led us to believe, it’s about how you vote.

I’m not sure who wrote this but they are brilliant…probably ruggedly handsome and charming as well.
To the left “Black” is not defined by genetics but by politics. If your are a member of an ethnic or social minority you are not an individual, simply part of a group, and if you think differently from the group you will be jettisoned. Of course the results of this type of thinking are absurd:
Clarence Thomas = Not Black
Harry Reid = Black
Thomas Sowell = Not Black
Nancy Pelosi = Black
I’m pretty sure there are no groups who wish to claim Harry Reid as a member.
Don’t forget that Bill Clinton was black but had it revoked when he didn’t support Obama and Colin Powell regained his “black rights” after supporting Obama.
Well at least this is good news for all those middle class suburban white kids who like to blast Li’l Wayne from their dad’s car. There is a very simple way to become black that does not involve an expensive skin darkening procedure. Someone should have told Kirk Lazarus all he needed to do was vote for Obama and he’d be a black guy. Would have saved him a lot of time.
One question which has puzzled me for some time now is howcum, if “race” is just a social construct, an arbitrary division based upon superficial variations in skin color, howcum a physical anthropologist can look at a few bones and announce the deceased was negro?
Thomas Sowell is right: culture is what matters, and African-Americans have adopted the the White-Trash culture.
What Jackson has essentially proclaimed is that a Black Man doesn’t take care of his family, he merely takes care of himself.
As the white half of a mixed marriage do I get a group rate on a family racecard?
Almost the same: I’m the male half of a mixed gender marriage.
Only if the other half meets the non-genetic requirements of their race. The Reverend details those above
I’m the white half of a soon to be mixed marriage but since the Future Mrs. V is Asian she does not qualify for the race card.
I know were not supposed to use the “N” word, ever, but it does seem to work quite well as a conjunction between the title “Reverend” and certain proper names such as Jackson, Sharpton, and Wright.
