Does Rev. Al Sharpton's hypocrisy make anyone else sick?

Question

I am not a Don Imus fan by any means....but every time a situation comes up in which Al Sharpton can be put in front of the camera to tout his double-standard racist point of view, it makes me sick. He is one of the most racist and race-hate provoking individuals of our time.

Answer 1

Yes it does. I see a huge double standard here. Alfred Sharpton gets away with racist terms such as "White Interloper", calling jews "Diamond Merchants" and "Greek Homo". He has already incited violence that resulted in the deaths of innocent people. He has slandered many people including the Duke Lacrosse team. This so called "reverend's" charitable works are next to nil, unless you count his LoanMax advertising. Imus on the other hand, said three stupid words, coined by blacks, and is lynched in a manner reminiscent of the old days of lynchings. Al Sharpton should be fired. He incited hatred, slander, and bigotry. And let's hope the Duke Lacrosse kids force him to apologize with his wallet through a lawsuit.

Answer 2

Al Sharpton is a racist hate monger who will always keep black and whites fighting because of his remarks. Funny no one ask him to apologize when he called the Jews in New York a bunch of Hymies. Or his racist rhetoric during the Twana Brawly incident in New York. It's human garbage like Sharpton that keeps the KKK active. ( Both should rot in Hell face to face). Also not to much has been said about all the charitable work Don Imus has done. Especially for children of all races, religions and ethnic background. To bad Imus isn't black, none of this would have happened. Seems a white man can't say (it was wrong what he said) what a black gangsta rapper or a black comedian (Eddie Murphy for one)can say.

Answer 3

Yes, he's a flippin' racist and race-baiter. Imus IS an idiot but he got his. So where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton on the Duke kids? I think Jesse was condemning them to hell. I'm sure 'ol Al wanted them lynched as well. So, where are they now that the Duke kids' civil rights were violated? They both make me sick-- not for their cause -- but for their hypocrisy.

Answer 4

He's a bum, and a bigger one than Imus! (if that is possible)
He claims to be for the greater good but is a cheap hustler, and ruining people on both sides of the race issue for his own aggrandizement

Answer 5

I agree. i do not like Al Sharpton or basically anything he does, he's media hungry and gives many ppls race, religion and beliefs a double-standard stereotype. but thats just my opinion

Answer 6

Tawana Sharpton is a race hustling pimp, nothing more. When the worst race hustler you think you know takes a dump it lands on Tawana Sharpton.

Answer 7

Maybe we should change his name to Rev. Al Simpleton. You must admit he really does have a big mouth. Maybe we could get Al Gore to get him to shut the hell up, talk about hot air. It's no wonder, the earth is on fire.

Answer 8

Good call.
His & Jesse Jacksons.

BUT the media WONT call him on his comments due to his race.

Bias & unfair.

Imus, Al & Jesse should ALL be fired.

NO exceptions
ALL spew Hate & Racisim on radio or media.
Indirect or direct.

See archieves.

Answer 9

America, especially the black community, needs to stop paying attention to himself. He's like a little kid looking for attention. If you ignore him long enough, he crawls back under the rock he's been hidin in.

Answer 10

No. What makes me sick is the way he is treated as a legitimate spokesman for ther African American community. Did I miss the election?
