Al Sharpton

[BrewCityBuck]

SHARPTON VOWS MORE: 'It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms the airwaves'... Developing... Does this man even know what he's said over the years? He has to be the biggest hypocrite in the media, this guy pisses me off to the point my head might explode.<u>Sharpton Controversies</u><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sharpton, Maddox and Mason accused the Dutchess County prosecutor, Steven Pagones of being one of the perpetrators of the alleged abduction and rape. The three were successfully sued for slander and ordered to pay $345,000 in damages, the jury finding Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two and Mason for one. [6]</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Sharpton became the de-facto representative for the Cato family. During the funeral he referred to "diamond merchants" considered a code word for Hasidic Jews [10] [11], for shedding "the blood of innocent babies" leading marchers shouting "No Justice No Peace". Sharpton did not start the riots but his rhetoric was seen as inflammatory and unhelpful in easing the tension between the black and Jewish communities. A visiting rabbinical student from Australia by the name of Yankel Rosenbaum, 29 years old, was killed during the rioting by a mob shouting "Kill the Jew". [12]</div><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>In 1995, Sharpton led a protest in Harlem against the plans of Freddy's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store, to expand into a black neighborhood, displacing a black retailer. Sharpton told the protesters, "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."[13] Three months later, an armed protester forcibly entered the store and burned it down, killing himself and seven others. Sharpton distanced himself from the crime, claiming the perpetrator was an open critic of the civil rights leader and his nonviolent tactics. Nonetheless, Sharpton later expressed regret for making the racial reference, "white interloper," though he denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.[14] [15]</div> So this guy slanders people, helps start riots and makes racist statements towards a white man's business, and people still take this guy seriously? It makes me sick.

Don't forget about his comments in the Duke Lacrosse case where he immediately called racism on the students. He owes them an apology, but he is of course an apology requester, not a provider.

"We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."Well that was what he was doing.......

Sharpton's a racist piece of sh*t. He was also involved in the crown heights riots. I'd like to see him die slowly, though it wouldn't do justice for all the deaths he's caused, at least his fat ass corpse could provide a meal for a small country.anybody remember when he got that girl to fake being raped and then started a crusade against white people about it?

 

[KMart?]

I can't take Al Sharpton seriously, nor Oprah Winfrey. I also cannot bring myself to type anything more on the matters, because it would take too damn long.

I despise Sharpton and anyone who considers themself a civil leader and makes racist comments. Jesse Jackson as well, he calls New York Heimy town in an Washington Post article. These guys are absolute morrons. Like I said in the Imus thread, Sharpton...a reverand mind you....considered James Brown, who at the time was smoking crack, beating his wife, and under surveilance from the police as an inspiration. Oh yeah, I really want my reverand and civil leader looking up to James Brown. These guys make race a bigger issue than it really is. Black rappers can go out and say Hoe, bi*ch, N****R, curse unctrollably, promote violence, drugs, and pretty much rape as far as I am concerned and nothing is said. Any person of any different race says something negative about the black community and they are public enemy #1. What good do these guys do? What purpose do they serve? They aren't leaders, they're media member who bi*ch at people and contradict themselves over and over again. It's a disgrace.

He and his cohorts are encouraging the whole "White Guilt" culture.

Would it be a step backward if somebody lynched him? Just wondering.
