A racist calling another racist (Don Imus) a bigot?

Al Sharpton needs to sit down and shut up about this issue. It's like the pot calling the kettle... oh, wait. Can't say that. Al Sharpton might get mad at me.

I am so glad that you asked that question because I get SO ANGRY at Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the like sayng they represent me. They don't. I don't agree with them 80% of the time and even if I did, I wish they would present themselves better and took up real causes and stop chasing sensational stories down. And then they cry about not being heard or taken seriously. Well, when you ignore REAL problems in the black community such as unemployment, inferior access to education etc., single moms, losing our young men to the prison system etc. and you choose out of all that to address the Don Inus situation, it makes you lose credibility.
For the record, he does not represent me or most of the black people that I know.

Al has called them "bloodsucking jews" and was the catalyst for the riot and burning of Fredi's Fashion Mart in which 8 people died.

Sharpton self appointed. He has no qualifications and hurts race relations.

He really enjoys stirring the pot and making the divide wider between the races. Without doing so, he would be out of a 'job'.

An equally good question is "Why is he trotting out his daughter, who went to Temple, for remarks made about the Rutgers basketball team?" Shameless promotion.

I don't know. It was probably the same person who appointed Jesse "Hymie Town" Jackson.

At least he is an ambassador to the US blacks
Not like Jew Joe Lieberman, who is an ambassador in the US congress for Israel.
