How does Rev Al Sharpton earn money?

Question

I am assuming he is pretty wealthy? Does anyone know if he has a mansion or something that I am assuming he does. But what does he do for pay. He has no real job or anything. How does he get all this money to travel everywhere and do everything he does with no real salary?

Answer 1

He is on Pepsi Co.'s black advisory board for which his salary in 2004 was $25,000. He has written several books. He collects a salary from his non-profit corporation, National Action Network. This salary was $78,000 in 2004. He also gets paid for speeches and sermons he gives around the country. This amounted to $120,000 in 2004.

Answer 2

He is not a real "Reverend" in that he never went nor attended a seminary. He dropped out of a two year college and entered the drug field because there was more money in drugs than trying to work. He is not a Christian or he would act like one. There is no love in his heart, there is racist hate which he plants in communities all over the Untied States. He doe shave the money to eat well but due to a heart condition and elevated cholesterol his physician directed him to lose weight or else-so he lost weight and his appearance now is just a shell of what he used to be.

Answer 3

Well, I looked and looked and other than making TV appearances for which I believe he is paid scale (not much). I was unable to find much about him in this regard. What I did find though was a rehash of stuff I would never wish to be connected with.

Quotes:

"Attributed

* "They tried to say that being gay is a sin, and I said that adultery is a sin. Adultery is responsible for breaking up more marriages, but do we put that in the Constitution? It’s absurd."

* "Now that they have achieved the capture of Hussein, they should appeal to the UN to come in with a multilateral redevelopment plan. This is all the more reason this war should come to an immediate end."

* "I believe something happened to Tawana Brawley. . . I think it is absurd that someone would say that a 15-year-old girl could have made all that up, including fooling a hospital."
o regarding the 1987 Tawana Brawley scandal, later shown to be a hoax

* "Who defines terrorists? Today's terrorist is tomorrow's friend. We were the ones that worked with Saddam Hussein. The United States worked with bin Laden."

* "If the Jews want to get it on," he said, "tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house."

* "We stated openly that Steven Pagones did it. If we're lying, sue us, so we can go into court with you and prove you did it. Sue us — sue us right now."
o On the Tawana Brawley hoax.

* "Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining."
o To Vicente Fox, President of Mexico, after remarks Fox made that seemed to disparage African Americans"

This is not a nice man. He is opportunistic and mercenary. He is no different than the variety of lawyer known as an "Ambulance Chaser". He creates a need for his "services" and is more responsible in my opinion for keeping people of color down today than the original slave owners.
