First the media portrays Obama as "not black enough." Then he's "too black." Now, Jackson says, he's "not black enough."
Enough polarization. Obama represents diversity. He's of MIXED ethnicity, as are millions of other U.S. citizens and millions more worldwide. Obama's Presidency will signal to the world that Americans have evolved - both politically and socially. It will be a clean break from the failed policies of the Bush regime, and will signify to the world that Americans want change.

Well now that we know what Jackson said I think we have to give O'Reilly credit for restraining himself from being a complete asshole and trying to exploit the situation as much as he could have. I promise Sean Hannity would have released it on the spot and dedicated a week on his gaydio show blaming Obama for it. This clip is nothing more than grasping at straws and trying to fill in a blank that isn't there, Jackson using a racial epithet did nothing to give "context" and opened controversy.
