A new vibe

Think Obama’s been too hard on black folks? Think Jesse’s remarks represent what most people think? Well, this caught my eye:

But Al Sharpton, a New York civil rights activist, said Obama has been giving the right message, especially in his Father’s Day speech.

“It was a courageous, necessary statement,” Sharpton said. “I think people misunderstand. I disagree that he’s talking down to black people. The civil rights movement of the 21st century must be government accountability and personal responsibility.”

Government accountability and personal responsibility. Who can argue with that?
