Yes, they are like vultures who make a race issue out of anything. They are hypocritical maggots who turn a blind eye to any issues in the black community that doesn't involve white people. Why are they so silent to go after black on black crimes? They promote victimization and encourage distrust of white people. They are part of the problem and complete and utter racist, evil men.

I think they are race rabble rousers, niether has ever had a real job, they point fingers, but never offer solutions. In New Orleans they came and raised a stink about the recovery being race based, yet 5 young black men were murdered all at one time in one car and not a word from either of them. New Orleans has almost one black on black murder a day right now, it is terrible, but no outrage from these so called leaders. If they were really as concerned about their people they would be trying all they could to stop the black on black violence. New Orleans is not unique, Memphis is the same and I am sure many other places are the same, these are the only two I have lived in.
They are only interested when the problem can be blamed on race, that's where they get their blood money. Jackson is famous for going on T.V. after MLK was shot with blood still on his shirt the next day. He is a show boat, where do you think he would be if that murder in Ohio was a white man with a black wife?? I wonder.

Sharpton has repeatedly made racist comments and has accused non-blacks of racial discrimination and criminal behavior without gathering any evidence whatsoever. Likewise, he never seeks justice when non-blacks are victims of hate crime. What's more, he was a supporter of the late Khallid Muhammad. If you don't know who Khallid Muhammad is, you can read about him here:
http://www.adl.org/special_reports/khalid_own_words/khalid_own_words.asp
You can listen to him here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzRM2tzQ-bY
The poster of the video is apparently racist, because he/she made the following comment: "This is how most blacks feel about white people." However, this doesn't negate the fact that Khallid Muhammad was a racist as well. I also realize that You Tube isn't a reliable source for information, but it is widely known that Khallid Muhammad did indeed say these things.
Jackson thinks that reparations are owed to the black community. "How does this make him racist," you may ask. Well, he repeatedly makes the claim, by both word and deed, that blacks are incapable of bettering themselves without assistance. This attitude is racist and demeaning to black people. Likewise, Jackson, just like Sharpton, jumps into any situation involving blacks and labels it as a race issue without any evidence to substantiate this claim. For example, Jackson accused the media of racism for using the word "refugee" during and after Hurricane Katrina. He claimed that the very word "refugee" is racist even though it (refugee) has no racial connotation. A refugee is someone who seeks/is seeking refuge. How is this related to race? It isn't.
Both Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton perpetuate racism and separation of race/color, because they are indeed racist. And, as long as there are people like them and programs such as Affirmative Action who/that are constantly reinforcing the idea race and pigmentation matter, race based prejudice will never end and the fire of racism wll constantly be fueled.

No. Not in their hearts. In their hearts they know that all people are created equal or at least die equal. What they do is to use "racism" as a tool to get power and money. They are truly cynical, and i believe, evil men who would rather enrich themselves than make things better for black people. The shame is that I get called a racist by them when I am the one who actually wants life to get better for blacks, and does things that actually do help blacks.

How could anyone not think that? Worse than just racist.....victim mentality drama junkie racists that exploit their own people, profit from fabrications, and continue to deteriorate the credibility of the equal rights movement.
Funny how one can be held liable for yelling "Fire!" unnecessarily in a crowded theatre but these fools haven't been held liable for unnecessarily and falsely yelling "Racist!" and inciting worse drama and fallout then yelling "Fire!" ever could.....

It sure seems that way to me. However, I do not know what is in their hearts.

They're speaking out against injustice. Don't shoot the messenger.
