Or is he just mooching of all the people he can by screaming racism at the top of his lungs?

They take place to be leaders interior the civil rights stream. Jesse Jackson is over The Rainbow Coalition and Al Sharpton is a church chief and media analyst. And sure... they the two empower the black community opposite to customary concept. you do no longer would desire to like them... yet who cares? Many blacks do no longer the two yet they nonetheless do their ingredient and combat for the reason... Equality and Freedom. Y'all proportion that.

I really wish that I would have saved the copy of the New York Post that caught a photo of him in his nasty leisure suit with a huge gold medallion hanging down to his gigantic belly with curlers in his hair, sitting under a hair dryer after the Tawana Brawley case in the early 80"s. The sleeze just oozed from the photo.
How he became anyone's voice is mind boggling!

Unfortunately, for the past 25 years or so, Sharpton has managed to get his ugly mug on screen more often than the President of the US. We have been subjected to his racist agenda far to often as a result of our dysfunctional media. As I have stated previously in other questions and forums, the Rev. is responsible for more racial divisiveness than any other single phenomenon. I certainly would not want this pompous *** representing my race, ethnicity or religion. Why don't blacks recognize his deficiencies and appoint a more credible representative?

Professional race baiter. You have a good question, these race reverends (Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton)--what church are they from and why don't they get busy with building the flocks?
Actual quote from Jesse Jackson, Sr. "Out of my way. You-you're blocking the camera."

He's a political opportunist. Anytime he can butt in to anything and try to raise a stink - he does. Now, I highly doubt this pays very well, however it does keep him in the political spotlight.
This newest situation is bothersome for a number of reasons. First off, what the white kids did buy hanging nooses in the trees was "in very bad taste." I will not go so far as to say this is racism for a couple of reasons; a) nooses were not only used to single out one particular race. In the 1800's and in some states still to this very day, anyone could be hanged for committing crimes. Therefore, the noose itself does not indicate racism. However, the mere fact that thousands of blacks would jump on this immediately and incite riot because of this action makes me want to tell people to grow the hell up. There is a higher degree of "reverse" racism prevalent in todays society than there is of racism.
b). Defending a group of teenagers because they straight beat the hell out of someone else is totally WRONG. If someone beats someone up, that is assault - plain and simple. The first group was not formally prosecuted because there was no law on the books against doing things "IN BAD TASTE." Was it wrong for them to do what they did... well, not really. What was wrong was that they didn't take into consideration the completely PC view. They failed to assess that they were in the deep south - a place still VERY scarred by racist views. Now, having said that, yes - they should have been punished. However since no written law covers what they did - this is something that must fall on the shoulders of their parents to right the wrong.
Now, as for the black kids that beat the hell out of them. Did they have it coming? Well, duh... You don't do some stupid crap like that and think that you're not gonna get an ***-beatin' for it. However, beating the hell out of someone gang-style with a group of your homies is assault and is in fact against the law.
Do the folks down there riotting about this crap have a leg to stand on? Hell no. Go home, get a job, get a life and raise your own children to know right from wrong.
Sharpton and Jackson and the NAACP are out of line. It would be similar to tryin' to defend Michael Vick on the grounds that, "he grew up in the ghetto, das what dey do..."
Dog-fighting is bad... mmmkay? Beating the hell of other kids - regardless of color no matter what name they called you... is bad, mmmmkay? For future reference... hanging nooses in the deep south is bad... mmmmkay?
Class dismissed.

He does a pretty good James Brown impersonation.
He once flipped backwards in a chair on television. I think it was a talk show. Dick Cavett, Mike Douglas . . . not sure.
He's an all around groovy, productive sort of fellow.
:D
