SHARPTON PROTEST

Broadcaster Glenn Beck and tea party activists have a right to rally in the nation’s capital but not to distort Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Friday.

Sharpton described the demonstration planned for Saturday by Beck and his supporters as an anti-government rally advocating states’ rights. And he said that goes against the message in King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, in which the civil rights leader appealed to the federal government to ensure equality.

Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally will be held at the Lincoln Memorial, where King delivered his speech exactly 47 years earlier. Beck and other organizers say the aim is to pay tribute to America’s military personnel and others “who embody our nation’s founding principles of integrity, truth and honor.” The broadcaster toured the site Friday as supporters cheered.

Sharpton wasn’t the only one upset with circumstance surrounding the event.

Leaders in the nation’s capital said they were offended by a tea party blogger’s warning to those attending to avoid two of Washington’s subway lines because they go through certain neighborhoods. Many parts of the city are safe, he wrote, “but why chance it if you don’t know where you are?”

D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray, who is running for mayor, invited visitors into the city’s neighborhoods and said Friday he would urge any tea partiers he meets to ride the subway.

“Frankly, we need to put an end to that venom,” he said at a news conference. “This is a city of 600,000 people —

people who enjoy living here, people who pay their taxes.”

“Let’s not let them get away with portraying the District of Columbia as some kind of frontier city,” Gray said. “We live in peace.”

The original post early Monday morning by blogger Bruce Majors was offered as a visitor’s guide for those coming to the district for the rally. It offered hints on cheap eats, free wireless Internet spots —

and the home addresses of Democratic political leaders, with the note, “Feel free to protest!”

Majors also wrote that the population includes “refugees from every country, as the families of embassy staffs of third world countries tend to stay in D.C. whenever a revolution in their homeland means that anyone in their family would be in danger if they went back.”

He also wrote that taxi drivers and waiters and waitresses frequently are from foreign countries.

Majors, who said he has lived in D.C. since 1980, did not respond to telephone messages requesting comment Friday.

On Saturday, Sharpton and others plan their own rally at a high school and a march to the site of a planned King memorial not far from the Lincoln Memorial to mark the anniversary of his speech.

During a news conference Friday, Sharpton questioned whether Beck and others understand King’s words.

“They have the right to rally. But what they don’t have the right to do is distort what Dr. King’s dream was about,” he said.

He said King’s legacy is not owned by black people alone, and others can have different views of him. But he said they can’t have different views of King’s speech.

“His speech says clearly that he wanted to see a nation where the federal government protects us from those and states that would not uphold our civil rights,” Sharpton said.

“You can’t have a march telling government to leave us alone and say you’re reclaiming a march where they came to appeal to government to protect us,” he said. “They’re having an anti-government march on a day that King came to appeal to government. You can’t have it both ways.”

The Rev. Walter Fauntroy, who formerly represented the District of Columbia in the U.S. House, said Beck’s rally organizers “seized the hallowed ground of the 47th anniversary … to promote their universal vision of exclusion.”

“Their purpose is to turn the clock back in a time in America” when blacks and other minorities lacked rights, he said.

“It would be wrong for us to allow those who espouse the universal value of exclusion to hijack the site and the message of that marvelous day and to use it against the very vision that Martin Luther King Jr. articulated so magnificently,” he said.

    Brother Sharpton and Jesse will EXPLOIT the image, likeness and legacy of King till the day they die. A true sign of a person who can’t cement their own legacy. A damn shame. Real black leadership is truly lacking in this country and because of it, our people are mindless, vision less and speechless in these most critical times.

    glen beck is not EXPLOITING it? soooo just because al doesnt rally the troops and the black panther party to storm the white house and paint it black, he doesnt represent us? try again, uncle ruckus.

    lolol…I don’t think you have been paying close enough attention…Glenn Beck is one of the most powerful and rich media entertainers/moguls on this planet…why in the WORLD would he have to exploit the legacy of MLK? Laughable.

    Al has never been about that nonsense (storming the white house) you’re talking about and not once did I remotely suggest that’s the reason why he fell out of favor with the black community. I used to follow the big 3 back in the day (Sharpton, Maddox, Mason) when they were at war with Guilliani. The heat from them was so intense, they UNFAIRLY got Maddox disbarred for life, and tried to get the Rev on Federal perjury charges. I was there when Rev Al fought hard for the Howard beach, Yusef Hawkins, Gavin Cato, Central Park joggers cases to name a few. Stop trying to make up points I’m making in order to strengthen your weak points. Rev. Al doesn’t even get LOVE among the majority of Black Planet members..How do I know? about 10 months ago, I attempted to defend him, and the majority of the people here jumped all over me. I no longer defend him, he has sold out. He has political aspirations and is trying to make sure HIS own legacy is less about Tawana Brawley, Duke and social justice in general, and is now trying to be buddies with BHO perhaps looking for a cabinet position.

    Please answer why the FCK would Glen Beck NEED to exploit King? to appease people he knows hates him? That is the most ridiculous claim you have made in these forums, even tops your “America goes to war so they can take the money off the gold standard” comment…

    White people don’t play the game like that. While they playing Chess, Al and Jesse are playing checkers. White people play to win, we play to play!

    what!? i dont look to bp members for “amens”, i have higher expectations. to say al is using this to increase the value of his baseball card, but glen beck is not, is plain silly. if hes not exploiting mlk, then y have the march there? how many other town hall meetings, historical events, etc are on the other 364 days of the year and an unlimited amount of eligible places to host his “rally”? y there?

    u think he just pulled the date out of a hat, i dont think so. he represents the confederate flag and white sheets, just like his father, his fathers father, and so on. the fact that al makes a hell of alot less than gb proves that obstruction is paid for by the corporations. they OWN glen beck lame ass.

    Sharpton is doing what he does best. Whipping up racial tension where none existed before he and his bad perm got there. Beck’s rally has NOTHING to do with race. Beck is honoring the memory of Dr King because just as King stood against the government’s de facto approval of racism, Beck and those who support him are standing up against the government’s de facto takeover of one portion of our lives after another. Beck is not ‘turning back the clock’. He has neither said nor done anything to even come close to that. The media has jumped all over Beck when he said, “Whites don’t own Abraham Lincoln. Blacks don’t own Martin Luther King.” However when you hear this reported, you only hear the second part of the quote. What he is saying is that the message that both men carried was meant for ALL people. He was not being racist. Those that are accusing Beck of distorting MLKs dream need to take a hard look at the democrats you love so much. MLK warned against judging people by the color of their skin. He encouraged us to judge by the ‘content of their character’. Nothing in Beck’s character has shown him to be racist.

    IF you actually watched Beck explain what this rally is about rather than feeding off :30 soundbytes you would probably be a little more informed.

    My point about BP was not that you’re looking for validation there, but it was to show you how far the good Rev’s standing has FALLEN among BLACKS. Therefore he is HIGHLY motivated to exploit the legacy of MLK. I asked you twice (purposefully) to explain to me what motivation GB has to exploit the legacy and in the spirit of your hero, you refused to answer it. Lets act like he did know the significance of that date. SO what???? How important could this date at this venue have been to those WHINING the loudest, if they didn’t have it locked up after they held the rally last year? Oh wait! They didn’t hold a rally there last year either. Typical NEGROES!! When other people make a major move, NEGROES want to stand on the sidelines crying about how unfairly they’re being treated…lol…..

    You and every other Beck detractor claim his only goal is to antagonize black people. If that’s the truth then mission accomplished right? How much PR is Beck getting from this? If these NEGROES would have simply went about their business and ignored this, he probably would have had 5-8k people show. Now with all these foolish protests, he will probably now have 50-80k show. Now he will probably have a live simulcast where he can sell hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions in advertising and sponsorships. THAT’S HOW YOU PLAY TO WIN! How many people you think showing up for the NEGRO FEST?

    Like I will continue to say:

    1.) America sucks – I can prove it

    2.) Black people are about nothing but TALK

    3.) Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Condi Rice, Lious Farrakrap – are all the “Poor Mans Pimp”

    4.) If your not hunting down and exposing politicans, ministers, judges, bankers, mayors who

    all hand their hands is buying slaves or murdering black people….ur nothing doing sh*t

    The truth is that the reason we as black people never get any respect in Amerikka is because

    we are known as a race of people who just TALK and do nothing.

    Glenn Beck vs. Race Pimps & Hustlers

    1. The Dream rally is exactly what Martin Luther Kings was about. Uniting people of faith and all background to love one another.

    2. It seem Glen Beck is more Civil Rights leader then Sharpton presently. I thought Sharpton suppose to be a preacher? He’s embarrassing himself and exposing himself for the racsits and self serving person he is.

    3. Blacks are leaving the plantation and many even joining the Tea Parties. Many so called Black leaders or Race Pimps will be put out of work.

    God Bless America

    Glenn Beck and Rush are paid to dissent. They won’t touch AIPAC if their lives depended upon it, even though they scream about less spending. Blacks and their leaders have had plenty of opportunities to protest Mr. Obama, but chose not to because of racial loyalty. When he hired tax a tax cheat to go after folks who don’t pay their taxes, when he hired some of the same folks who destroyed the world’s economy with bs paper, when Wall Street took half of the pensions of working people, blacks should have spoke up and loudly. 90,000 foreclosures last month alone…where was Sharpton, black caucus and other jack and jill negroes. Doing nothing and Saying nothing. We have to go through credit checks, background checks drug test etc. to even step in the door, yet look who Obama hires? Come on, black folks should have been all over that and they would have had a righteous position.

    Those white folks know what they are doing. They know the country can not withstand all this spending with money made out of nothing and we the taxpayers paying on the interest. This is why they create a Rush, a Beck and Hannity. What country in its right mind would pay for the security of another country’s borders and not its own? That is NEVER mentioned. White folks know that Blacks are still stuck on the racial bs and yet we are the ones who pay dearly with increased property taxes (rev inc don’t pay those), increased interest rates for credit cards and debit cards (even though Obama gives himself credit for reforming the banks), Obama’s reluctance to use veterans to secure our borders even appoint them to jobs. I mean there is just so many things that Obama is doing that is not in America’s interest.

    The Rev. Al Sharpton, who has worked as a federal informant, tried to set up a meeting with black fugitive radical JoAnne Chesimard in 1983, according to activists who said they were approached by Sharpton.

    The black activists said they feared Sharpton was trying to deliver Chesimard into the arms of federal agents, but said they had no proof.

    One law-enforcement source, who declined to be identified but has detailed knowledge of Sharpton’s activities as an FBI informant, said this week that Sharpton was working as an informant at the time he sought to meet Chesimard. The source said that one of Sharpton’s assignments was to try to lead agents to Chesimard, who escaped from prison in 1979 after being convicted in the killing a New Jersey state trooper.

    It wasn’t a big massive operation. It was just a small shot, an everyday deal, the source said. I would equate it with setting up 10 traps a day trying to catch a fox . . . He said Sharpton was not a major participant in the search for the woman, who goes by the African name Assata Shakur.

    A top FBI official said that Sharpton was not used in any manner to lure Shakur into a trap. This is the first I’m hearing of it, it’s bull———, FBI Assistant Deputy Director Kenneth Walton, who led the Shakur investigation, said earlier this week.

    I don’t see why everyone is so up in arms about Beck, he is indeed racist, (99% of whites are, the other percent is deceased now), but what you whinin negroes are missing is the fact that we NEED people like Beck to keep us sharp and aware. There is no difference between a quiet white racist and a loud one..I prefer the loud ones.

    I see integration put us to sleep, it’s about time we awaken. Blacks are only so peeved about racism today because you fools LONG TO BE ACCEPTED by whites. PERIOD!

    I can’t see myself angry about a race that I have no intention of being bothered with. You blacks feel silly because you’ve spent your entire lives wanting to be a part of their world instead of building your our, and this rally proves that they STILL won’t let you in….GET THE FCK OVER IT!

    AT ProBlackCo. Nobody gives a danm about this rally by Glenn, except you and few other brainwashed ones. GB has NO impact on your life so cares about this rally? If you’re worked up by it, that’s cool, but there are some of out here who can distinguish high impact satanic forces from these small time ones. GB and the rest of the media is used by the real POWER BROKERS of this world to keep people like you focused on BS, while they exploit and manipulate the masses (globally). You didn’t expect BHO to turn this around over night? Most logical people will tell you they don’t expect him to turn it around at all. This is way above his pay grade. Go look at the comments made by Ben Bernanke yesterday. FED chiefs and economists were in Wyoming yesterday planning on how to fix the economy while BHO was working on his Putting game. They are all at a lost on what to do. They have tried all the tricks and nothing has worked. So basically Bernanke says they are ready to implement methods that have already failed. That’s where they are at now. Hope you can believe in has now changed to Damn, I hope this works this time. Come on and wise up! Such a VITAL meeting concerning the economy of the country and the President isn’t even there? What does that tell you? probably nothing but what it should suggest to you is, there are hidden and not so hidden forces who are REALLY governing the economy and how it will be directed.

Like 98% of his supporters here, YOU HAVE NO CLUE what is going on, you just support the dude because he is black. I love my people but that doesn’t mean I will support every black person that is presented to me. You people can’t even see that he represents the very same people who has wrecked this economy, 100%. Who you think he is out there golfing with? The first time he went to Martha’s Vineyard, he was out there golfing with the CEO of RBS. The Govt had just fined them about43Million dollars, but then the BHO admin gave them about 51Bil in bailout money. So they basically fine them, then pay the fine. BHO is complicit, but ya’ll REFUSE to see or accept that because ya’ll are willing to accept the bad with the good. Problem is, you have no idea how bad that bad is, and how little good is really there.

    Like Harriet Tubman had to end up shooting some of those who would run away from the plantation but got so damn scared and wanted to go back to their massa. That’s how some of ya’ll are. SCARED to DEATH to leave Massa Democrat! Want him to provide you food stamps, welfare, section 8, WIC etc. cause you scared to death to go work for that yourself. That’s why many of you love BHO. Ya’ll want him to come in and fix the economy so you can get a job, or keep your benefits, or get healthcare etc……Sickening…Garvey and Muhammad came here and said DO FOR SELF, and negroes got scared and ran back to the damn Plantation.

    Now thats something that I can agree with.People are fighting battles that ultmately doesnt mean a thing because the ones caught up black,white or other with racism etc are tools made to be played against one another.Those conditions have indeed made it harder for minorities and blacks to play on a equal playing field but going back and forth on this level does absolutely nothing.Whos right whos wrong,who cares.The only way to beat racism and all other unfair playing fields is to ultimately find out what it is the real powers that be are keeping from all of us.Thats THE REAL POWER RIGHT THEIR TO CHANGE ANYTHING THATS UNFAIR.

    What does screaming and yelling do when their isnt a plan to attack the true problem? in their eyes and the world,your just YELLING AND SCREAMING even if your right it doesnt matter because not enough is being done by those who are disadvantaged to change it positively for themselves.CHECKS AND BALANCES… The disadvantage are being CHECKED generation after generation and no REAL EFFORT from the YOUTH TO BALANCE IT.

    Here is your problem then PR_WackCO. I’m in the same boat, position as you are. So I’m asking you, what gauge are you using to call me brainwashed? And here is why you’re NOT smarter than me. I’m not dumb enough to make a full assessment about anyone based on a few posts here. You and I have never dialougued. You have no idea who I am and what I’m about, and yet you have concluded that you are smarter than me AND that I’m brainwashed?…That’s laughable. But notice, I didn’t counter by saying no I’m smarter than you etc. I have no idea because I don’t know anything about you. What I will say is, your unnecessary focus on a rally by GB with little or NO KNOWLEDGE of how big time CEO’s, Wall street Bankers, and their well positioned political friends (both Dem and Republicans) work every day to keep the majority of the world population living in an unbearable, inhuman state, is SAD! That too doesn’t make you sound too damn smart to me, but that’s your opinion, and all I have to do is accept it or leave it alone. I’ll choose the latter.

    @Courtney_R. You know how it goes. We have spoken in the past and I already know as you already know how these smoke screens are used against the TRUE brainwashed ones. Have you noticed how this GB nonsense has knocked the Ground Zero Cultural Center right off the front page? How about Illegal Immigration out in Az? When was the last time that was talked about?…no wait! When is the last time you have heard anything about a tea party? All those events have pitted one group against another. Right out of the real power broker’s playbook. These media moguls lead people around like trained dogs, telling them what they should be upset about this month, and like dutiful servants we follow right along. After these rallies, NewsOne will skew every line they can to get their money’s worth, then they will be on to the next hot button issue. I wonder when they will start to write about the housing crisis or the real threat of double dip recession? I won’t hold my breath, I’m sure NewsONe will have a bunch of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh quotes ready to feed to these “hungry” ones.

    @ _A_ cant argue with your response back at me because thats exactly right. As you know,im about the right and wrong and the WHO,WHAT ,WHEN WHERE ,AND WHY? basically meaning ,some of us dont want half a story,Some want the entire story to come to their own conclusions.Life and racism kind of changed how some people viewed these kind of subjects once some got a glimpse of who the real players are on this earth vs the common man and what so many dont know and are LEAD to believe.RACISM was the PERFECT PLAN for MANKIND to keep POWER AND CONTROL AWAY FROM THE COMMON PEOPLE.THATS THE TRUTH. and we play into racism,black ,white ,whatever everyday excluding the real causes of why we have THE HAVES AND HAVE NOTS.knowing the REAL TRUTH is half the battle won. some dont want to live without knowing what is REALLY GOING ON around them because people like this HATE, BEING TRICKED BY ANYONE.When I walked into the book store barns and nobles and picked two books( that I wont name on here for a reason, ill give the authors name) it changed how I viewed Life and what has happened so far in the history of mankind and were we are today.Especially RACISM and people who buy into this very real problem but its only part of a GIGANTIC problem.Tackle the GIGANTIC problem,and SOLVE SOCIETIES RACISM PROBLEM AND ALL THE OTHER non significant problems that truly dont matter in the spiritual since of the word.It isnt a mistake that its gone the way its gone so far.We are all plugged into a reality that really isnt the true reality.If you get what im saying _A_..Its very real what you are saying and others who see this.their are things already thought out and put in place that we havent seen yet and its only going to get worst.the control they have is astronomical and if people dont believe nothing else,,,,Just think about WHO HAS CONTROL OVER YOUR OWN MONEY THAT YOU WORK FOR? case closed. If that doesnt tell you somethings drastically wrong and that Racism is a neccessary deterrent that the powers that be rely on ,then GOD help everyone.This is the wrong fight to be fighting.Because that other fight is going to require the same sacrifice that so many give.The ultimate sacrifice and this country isnt ready for that yet….Have to watch what you say more than ever now.Computers equals profiling the way one thinks and sees things.this is another important tool for them same powers that be. (wink) :)

    The things that we cant control are the very things we at least need to know about.Believe it or not ,if nothing else,its survival just knowing.Dont have to worry about it to the point it disrupts your life,job ,home but know. Great show to watch on discovery is The Colony.Not that I want to go back to basics but its always good to know what to do in case you have to.Same principal about control. :)

    AT WhackCO. My answers are “predictable” as you say, because they always apply. IT’S ALWAYS ABOUT HAVES AND HAVE NOTS. RICH AND POOR. Go listen to MLK when he speaks on “why I oppose the Vietnam war.” He is clearly telling you that the fight was NEVER ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS but rather HUMAN RIGHTS. Who cares if you as a black man can now drink from the same water fountain as a white person, if the type of education you receive is substandard. Who cares if you can eat at a lunch counter in Birmingham if your son’s and daughters can’t have proper access to pure and healthy foods to keep their mind, body and spirit on an elevated level? Who the hell cares if you can now sit on the front of the bus, if your little daughter is picking white dolls over the same black doll, because she thinks the black one is ugly? Who cares if Glenn Beck is having a damn rally in DC when school aged children are getting shot dead every week in Chicago, Detroit, NY, Denver, The Bahamas, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria etc? You damned right my responses are the same because the root cause of ALL THESE PROBLEMS points right back to the same devilish force in this world who profit off poverty. You have NO CLUE who they are, so you focus on who you see. Actually, you focus on who is paraded in front of you, without conducting INDEPENDENT research. And listen to you. I ask you a few questions about the man you support and you say to me, “oh I wish you would ask him because I know he could answer you” Why the hell can’t you answer me? You’re following the man. Are you telling me that you’re not sure why you are following him?

    I’m telling you to look deeper. Learn how money is used as a tool to control. How debt is tantamount to slavery. How every single dollar that enters the money supply does so by way of a loan in other words, debt. Because of that, the National DEBT can never be paid off because if it were, that would mean there would be ZERO dollars in circulation. If that is the case, and it is, why does every single politician run on the platform of paying off the national debt when it’s impossible to do? They are all fuking liars, that’s why, and that includes your savior BHO!

    The sad thing about all this, they don’t even try to hide it. They explain how it’s done, but we are either too lazy, not interested or conditioned to let other people handle this type of study for us. Listen to all the people who were duped by these mortgage companies. Now they want help. I mean It didn’t occur to some of these people that if you have a mortgage of $1500 per month, and you only make 30k per year, that you might run into some problems down the road? Now they want help from the banks now as if it’s the banks fault entirely. Of course the banks are culpable, but since when should someone take on full responsibility of your mistake? Unless you can actually prove FRAUD (some people actually wrote down their real income and had shady bankers actually change it so that the loan would be approved) then you shouldn’t get NOTHING from the Government. The Government shouldn’t be helping LAZY people. This is what Libertarians talk about when they say less Govt intervention. They are saying if people are too lazy or if Banks are too reckless, the Govt shouldn’t be there to bail them out. You plantation democrats ain’t trying to hear that one though. Just like those slaves who ratted out Nat Turner or were too scared to run with Miss Tubman, some of ya’ll ain’t trying to leave Plantation Democrat and go for self. Even want these dudes to provide you with free healthcare.

    Anyone heard the story about how the state of SC is paying out 25mil this year or next for people to get Lap band surgery so they won’t be obese and miss too many days from work? Can you imagine this crap? How about getting these lazy azz people out to a gym and away from the local McDonalds and BK and let them take care of their own health. And guess what, if people aren’t disciplined enough to keep themselves healthy so they can be a better employee, then dammit, hire someone who will. It’s a nation of enablers these days….everybody wants a hand/bail out. Nobody wants to work for what they want or need anymore, they are looking for ways to get someone or some program to provide if for them. I think this is the real reason most hate the Republicans!..lol

    Distraction………………..

    Being from New York I have wittnesed first hand how Al Sharpton has been given the microphone by the “white” media to speak for African people.

    Al Sharpton is funny.

    Al Sharpton is a showman.

    Al Sharpton shows justified outrage for outrageous examples of police brutality. [Abner Louima, Amadou Diallo]

    But Al Sharpton is a Negro. All one has to do is look at his hair.

    The last thing African people need are more pacifist. We have been following this same script for the past 500 years; any self-respecting Black person must acknowledge that Black African communties the world over are not producing highly functional Black African famalies. When is dais this what Black African peoples agenda should be about.

    Al Sharpton is a distraction at best a paid informant at worst. Him and many others who are allowed to speak as figure heads for the Black African communitysacrifice nothing and are only reactionaries.

    Who care about Glean Beck…..when will you as Black people be able to protect yourself form “white” assualt.

    @Courtney_R. This “world” has turned us into people who cant see the forest for the trees. They keep our minds inundated with foolishness. Lady Gaga, hip hop beefs, Tiger Woods, Super Bowl, World Series, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Brett Favre etc. When will people stop to realize that these things just don’t matter. Back to this Govt intervention thing that Al Sharpton is complaining about. If you look at all the enterprises the Government runs, you can’t FIND ONE that runs efficiently or in the case of Amtrack and the Post Office, continually run deficits. I just heard a story about Katrina victims trying to apply for funds to assist in their cleanup/fix up and the entire system is a failure. Too much bureaucracy as usual. Bottom line, Glenn Beck and the focus being paid to his is misguided. And you know NewsZero ain’t done. Every single writer on this “staff” will try to squeeze all they can out of this NON story.

    WTF? Everything his Instigating, Race Bating A**’s does GOES AGAINST WHAT MLK STOOD FOR! It amazes me how people FOLLOW behind the Self-Appointed Black Leaders? The Blind Leading the Blind? Train Wreck’s Waiting to Happen? I know the sooner People realize we all are born to walk our own road in life, NOT BE LEAD, down dark, dirty, muddy alley’s the SO Called Leader’s walk down, leading as many stupid a**, lost soul’s as they can to NOWHERE which will NOT benifit ANY of them, but instead only fatten’s up $Sharpton’s$ Pockets and/or help’s him extort whichever entity dumb enough to even let this man threaten them to begin with! Sharpton whole career is aimed at keeping the races split, insecure & suspious of one another! I hope/wish someday, none white people realize what the Al Sharpton’s, Jessie Jackson’s and all/other race bating hustlers are all about! Someday PEOPLE will realize they don’t need a leader, start thinking for themselves & reap all of the benifits of their OWN SUCCESS’S in their lives, instead of allow those SO CALLED LEADER’s benifit off their hard work & sacifices!
