David Banner Comes To Jesse Jackson's Defense... Sort Of

Despite his dislike for the man, David Banner has somewhat come to terms with the demeaning comments that Jesse Jackson made in regards to Presidential hopeful Barack Obama a few weeks ago. Banner has long been a staunch critic of both Jesse Jackson and Al Shapton. Calling on both leaders to start making a change in the lives of todays youth, instead of constantly trying to tear them down. This time, he seems to be pushing for everyone to let Jesse be.

“My feelings about [Jackson] as a person won’t change until he changes and who knows if that’ll happen,” Banner said during an interview with EUR Web, “but we should move on and not worry about his comments. We concentrate on such trivial things that are not even important. We’re at war. We’re in a recession. Jesse Jackson said something. He doesn’t literally want to cut off [Obama’s] nuts. He didn’t know the mic was on. Ok, let’s stay focused. I can honestly say that white media does that to us and we bite the hook every time.”

David didn't stop there, he went on to say; “To me, Jesse Jackson is irrelevant. Nobody in our generation really pays attention to him. As far as we’re concerned, he should be able to say whatever he wants to and we just move on.”
