That seems like a pretty silly question.just ask all of they innocent black men and women in prison.white people have always said that we all look alike.innocent blacks get identified everyday.I had white people tell me that I look like someone else that bothered me.

This is crazy…but yes white people do tend to say we all look alike and i dont know how when we as black people have been diluted to include every other race on the planet which never gives US a personal look, like the asian/middle eastern commmunities have.

”black” people are the OLDEST people on this earth and we are a GLOBAL people, that go by many names….

we are EVERYWHERE on this earth…

but the confusion comes with the different locations, names/titles, cultures, langauges etc…..

we are aboriginal/indigenous to this ENTIRE EARTH.

We the only ones who look different… from smut to albino… can yo race do that?

its really funny to me that nazneen patel (the writer of this story) tends to write stories from an “im black” point of view… i noticed that she has taken down her picture after receiving critisism from some of her other “im black hear me roar” kind of stories.
nobody looks into whos writing these stories. and from some of the stories i read on news one… ANYONE can be a journalist there…

down with nazneen patal’s black stories. stay your own race.

give Contessa the benefit of the doubt and lets just say she doesnt interact with too many people of color. However, when you see color before you see the person then thats an issue.

HELL NO…IM SO TIRED OF HEARING THAT, AND IM A DARK PUERTORICAN…HOW CAN THEY SAY BLACK PEOPLE LOOK ALIKE WHEN WE CLEARLY DONT…THAT IS PLAIN IGNORANCE…I TELL YOU WHAT, WHAT ABOUT CHINESE , KOREANS, JAPANESE…TELL ME THOSE PEOPLE DONT LOOK ALIKE….HA…WHAT ABOUT MEXICANS, EQUADORIANS, COLUMBIANS…THOSE MOTHER EFFERS LOOK ALIKE ALL DAY LONGGG…..ALL OF THEM GOT WET-LOOKING HAIR, BIG ROUND FACES, AND WHATS THE FUNNY S**TTTTTT…HOW COME THEY ARE ALL UNDER 5FT…..CMON..I DONT WANA HEAR THAT …YOU HAVE A WHOLE RACE WITH THE SAME HAIR…EVEN THE ONES THAT ARE NOT RELATED LOOK A LIKE , EXPLAIN THAT……

I actually will give her a pass on that, since we all know these people are reading teleprompters.I wonder though Nazeen, why is her slip up of a name, a BIGGER story to you than the actual issue they were discussing which was these big Bankers and CEO’s robbing us blind? We REALLY need to get focused!!!!!!!!!!

The main article reporting this said that the script read that it was Al Sharpton… She even admitted to the fact that she new it was Jessie Jackson and was just reading off the script and apologized. I laughed when I read about it
Honest mistake.

No they look nothing alike. And she did say it was a mistake but if she really knew who he was she would have said so. But no they look nothing alike whatsoever.

Rev. Jesse and Rev. Al should never be mistaken for one another. Jesse is the spotlight-chasing race-baiter with the BUG EYES, while Al is the spotlight-chasing race-baiter with the BIG HAIR.

lol… @ LastMan

Lets be real, come on, honestly white people pretty much all look alike to me too, how about Asians, Mexicans, etc. We can’t fault them for thinking the same thing we thinking! LOL 4 real!

On another note: I really hate how people say negative things about Rev. Al or Sharpton. These dudes was on the front line, ducking bullets with Dr. King (yes look at the pics of it that’s Jesse in the back!), when we wasn’t even thought of. There not nobodys like the media portrays them to be. These the dudes that will have your back if you treated wrong for being BLACK!! We need to honor and respect our elders, how come we have forgotten that?

@_A_: that’s real talk! Who cares about a name! What about my $$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!

Only reason I’m bothering to comment is that some of the previous comments were too stupid. She just reads off a teleprompter, probably didn’t even look at the video monitor until he responded – blame the fool writing the script not the “talent”.

@LastManStandingTall n!gga u a mess. And YTF is even up here like both of these old a$$ men are past they prime and still doin the same ole thing pimpin people off of race wars. Had she gotten Obama and Michael Steele confused then i’d wonder about her.

LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, actually, they do look alike….THEY BOTH LOOK LIKE …CROOKS!!!! No, they look like crooks w/ 15 minutes of fame! LOL

Sorry, peeps, in case you didnt know, now ya know….. Those two only show up to incite fear, outrage and anger in an already ugly situation and they make it ten times worse than it already is/was and then leave patting themselves on the back. No real solutions from these two…only complaints and conspiracy theories.

They make me physically ill!!!!! Ughhhh!

I saw this yesterday, I was like *WTF* then tried to play it off lol! Rev. Jessee Jackson, had n made valid points, i’m glad he did NOT grade da president, instead he touch base on how GOP keeps fighting him. The Country can’t be fixed until they allow him to do so.

Yes, they both look like thugs…

This is pathetic.

Well I know two people who do look alike…..
miss j off of america’s next top model, one of the judges and
lil wayne?

now that i look at the pycs….yeh dey do!!!! i neva thot bot it tyl now. they look lyke brothers. Jesse looks older though. wow. dats a conwinkydink.

c4pricorn sed they look lyke sad dogs, and lakerdude sed they look lyke thugs!!!!! hahahahahahahahahahahaha. lmao!!! u 2 aynt ryight. but, da shyts funy as f**k!!!

Naw they don’t look alike at all but u know how stupid ppl can be. However I think she made an honest mistake or at least a pointless one, and she backed out of it nice and quickly and still sounded articulate so hey! And who the f**k is Campbell Brown? lol

BLACKS ARE THE MOST DIVERSE LOOKING PEOPLE ON THE PLANET. WE CAN LOOK LIKE PEOPLE RANGING FROM ADAM CLAYTON POWELL (WHITE LOOKING) TO FRANK SILVERA (HISPANIC LOOKING) TO MANDELA (ASIAN LOOKING) TO YAPHET KOTTO. WE HAVE ALL SKIN AND HAIR COLORS, HAIR TYPES AND FACIAL FEATURES

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhell NO-NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK ALIKE and if it was OBVIOUSLY NOT-WHY ASK THE QUESTION?

This post was mentioned on Twitter by bp_newsone: JUST CURIOUS: Do All Blk Ppl Look Alike? That’s the ? aftr a news anchor calls Rev Jesse Jackson by another Rev’s name. http://bit.ly/3QegqE...

We are most diverse! We are the ones that will never look alike! We have like a thousand different skin tones!

That’s about the dumbest question and probably the dumbest article I’ve seen posted. You know good and damn well all black people don’t look alike. I cosign toodelicious4u comment…

Of course all black people don’t look alike. But maybe this is so because I’m black and that is what i am exposed to. I find myself having a hard time telling Asian and Mexican people apart.

Its not that she thought they look alike. Its just that neither was important enough to her to remember their names.

I am just curious, Nazneen Patel: What was your purpose in writing this story? To spread hatred between the races? If you had taken half a second to inform yourself of what happened, you would know that the reporter was not even looking at Jesse Jackson, who was not at the studio. Rather, she was reading from a teleprompter. Whoever had written the story on the prompter wrote Al Sharpton. Were you this critical when President Obama’s teleprompter broke down and he was unable to finish his speech?

Contessa Brewer made an honest mistake. She was reading the TelePrompTer. This article is ridiculous. Everybody and their grandmother knows that MSNBC is not racist. None of those reporters are racist. The men on MSNBC are extremely sexist. In fact Chris Matthews really really wants to have sex with President Obama and he made this revelation quite clear during the 2008 Presidential Campaign. Chris Matthews also really really hates women. Chris Matthews is the worse kind of gay man.

it was a mistake,,what she suppose to be perfect? black planet really is annoying, i believe who ever is behind this is the one racist!!

I don’t think that she thought that they looked alike. I just think that they both do the same thing for the black community and so she misidentified. that’s all. not that we all looked alike because obviously they don’t.

Hell nawh, we tend to look like whoever created us. You have to really look at the other’s to find the linking attributes. LOL…I got issues.

Honest mistake

Damn, can’t people slip up?!?…She said it was on da screen wrong…where dat dude at?..lol

look contessa is on wacky weed … just forgive her it was a terrible mistake … and hope she doesn’t do this thing again … if so? we just have to smack some manners into her … and tell her Oooh!! our bad? ,,, we thought you was kate gosselin! … all y’all white folks do look alike!? … SMILE :-) and WINK ;-)

F**k outta here, as an interviewer you trying to tell me, your not familiar with who your about to speak to way before the cameras are even on. It was done purposely and it was done to undermind him and cause stir

Honest mistake, she reads the teletype in front of her

Honest mistake and she even explained herself and let dude know she knew who he was. The damn teleprompter was wrong.

It’s that we are so insignificant to white people it does’nt matter who we are individually,that it does’bt matter what they call us.the wrong I’d of a suspect has put a lot of innocent men in prison.that’s just the way it is.

[...] JUST CURIOUS: Do All Black People Look Alike? [...]

you know that is what they say but if some one said you did something they lie and pick the wrong one all white people look the same to me because i dont be around then much but not just white mexican to a lady lied on my son my son then she said the person had a tatoo on his stomach and was biger thank god she said that i understand she was car jacked but it was not my son he was sick the day it happen be side he could not drive at that time
