The only people who could "fire" them are the ones who financially support them. But those are committed idealist who would be shocked to be labeled racist even though they are. These two men are presenting themselves to be men of God but they only help Blacks. There are many people of other races who could benefit from their celebrity status but they will never offer their help. Perhaps they think Black Americans will view them as less dedicated if they help anyone else.
The basis for all of the world's major religions is tolerance and forgiveness. The two have made a fortune by being intolerant and completely unforgiving. If they were white they would have gravitated to the KKK. Same ethics, same tactics. What a shameful use of God's name.

That's a really good observation - everyone from the prosecutor to the college to the media jumped a little bit hastily on the Duke boys rape case.
Their indignation was admirable - too bad the case they based it on was bogus.
I'm sure somewhere down the line that heads will roll.

It's not the first time they've jumped the gun. Their claim to fame is the fact that they are loud publically about "alleged" misjustices toward people of color. There have been times when they have done good work. However, in their haste to go public, they often neglect to do the homework necessary to find out if the story is true. I would think that truth would be the most important thing in any of the cases they speak about, but evidently it's not.

I think the Duke LaCross players and the cops in the Tawanda Bawley case should sue the holy living hell out Al Sharpton.

They cannot be "fired" they try to help people on their own without being a part of any organization. People forget the woman who claimed to be "raped" lied to all of them: the DA, the Police and the Activists who tried to help her.

They did make a mistake when they didn't wait to see how the investigation panned out. They should be careful when they do that.

Fired by who? MSNBC? CBS radio? Who should fire them? The organizations they work for and agree with them?

No apparently they can do no wrong and are exempt from ever having to apologize for anything.

The standards they apply to everyone else don't apply to them evidently. JERKS!
