No. Al Sharpton is a harm to the black community. I, being a white individual interior the south, have seen this firsthand. Al Sharpton is the equivalent of the boy who cried wolf. He claims that each and every thing is discrimination against black people, even in circumstances the place it needless to say isn’t. as a result, whilst a black individual has a valid declare of discrimination and that they grow to be linked with Mr. Sharpton, many white people straight away turn their backs and brush aside the guy’s allegations. Al Sharpton is an fool.

He does it because he is caught up in a 60's time warp. He still thinks he is fighting the same battle of the sixties when the nation have move far beyond those times.
Many blacks over 50 still see a racist behind every Caucasian they meet, unfortunately.
No he is not helping the black community but keeping them held down into a victim's mentality.

Its because alot of things ARE racial issues. There are many different lenses to look at the world through, and race is certainly an important one. I think he is helping the black community by bringing these issues to the forefront, so that we can discuss them openly and not hide from them like we did 50 years ago.

What makes you think he has ever been for the Black community? Sharpton is now and has always been totally about himself.

No. He is keeping the black community poor and intolerant, while getting his money by helping rich, white women like Paris Hilton avoid the justice she deserves.
He is in LA today talking with Sherriff Lee Baca (who is up for reelection next year!!!!) discussing how they can get Paris Hilton's prison sentence shortened so celebrities like her and Sharpton can continue to receive the criminal justice only their money can buy.

Sharpton just likes to see and hear himself. Very much like Hillary and the rest of the Liberal Camp

No, Sharpton and Jackson have set the African American community back at least 20yrs. He is a racist and a hate monger.

He does not help the black community if he makes all their problems about race.

He;s missing the whole point. Paris got out of jail because of special treatment, but went right back in.
The last i looked, Michael jackson and OJ were black, they did no jail time.
