shut up supertodd you dipfluff. sharpton doesnt make his living "fostering racism." damn reactionary white ppl just drive me crazy. in the trayvon martin case, an unarmed black teenager was shot dead while walking home to his dad's place. then his killer was questioned and released without charges. calling attention to that is not called "race baiting," it's called seeking justice. ugh, people that call it racist to point out potential injustices are so disgusting, fluff you all
"White folks was in the caves while we was building empires … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- The "Reverend" Al Sharpton
No, not divisive at all.. Not using and promoting racial animosity. What a pillar of the community this man is.
Well that's just one quote, right?
Guess what. The Zimmerman case isn't the first time Sharpton has inserted himself into a racially charged issue and put forth a false or misleading narrative... Do you remember Tawana Brawley? Sharpton counts on you to not remember. She was the 15 year old black girl who in 1987 claimed to have been abducted and raped by 6 white men. Sharpton, angered that the DA would let evidence get in the way of charges, accused the assistant DA of participating in the rape. It was later found that the rape never occurred. What was that you were saying about "damn reacionary" white ppl? Why don't you hate Sharpton for his reactionary, hateful, race-baiting BS.
Well... Sharpton's defamation doesn't cause real damage. All that assistant DA lost was his reputation, and he later was awarded money to make up for it. No permanent harm, right?
Crown Heights. Remember this one? Sharpton may hope that you don't. After a 7 year old black child was accidentally hit and killed by an Orthodox Jewish driver, the absolutely non-racist and fair-minded Sharpton made the following statement during the child's eulogy.
"Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid.... All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no coffee klatsch, no skinnin' and grinnin'."
During the ensuing riots, Yankel Rosenbaum, an Australian Jew, was murdered by a gang of 20 black men. Did Sharpton, ever the finest example for our children, call for the riots to end and the voilence to stop? No, on the contray, he said "We must not reprimand our children for outrage, when it is the outrage that was put in them by an oppressive system"
More fun Sharpton quotes:
"If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house." - Statement made in defense of an anti-Jewish speech given by Leonard Jeffries.
"I want to make it clear to the radio audience and to you here that we will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business on 125th Street." - Regarding the Freddy's Fashion Mart incident. A non racial monetary dispute which was turned into a racial issue, evolving into rioting and murder, thanks in part to Sharpton and those whom he allowed to spew their hatred on his radio show.
"What's wrong with denouncing white interlopers?" - I don't know Al.. Would you take offense to a white person trying to keep blacks from doing business?
Al Sharpton is, IMO, a racist asshole.. a professional bigot.. a circus barker selling racial animosity and strife in order to increase his own fame and wealth. You can call what he does "seeking justice" if you want, but to me it looks more like peddling racial hatred.
