I AGREE WITH YOU 1000%!!!!!!!!!!!!

AL SHAPRTON IS A RACIST!!!!

In 1995, a Jewish store owner in Harlem was accused of driving a black record store owner out of business, when the United House of Prayer, one of the largest black landlords on 125th Street, raised the rent on the Fashion Mart owned by a Jew, Freddy Harari, who then raised the rent on his subtenant, Sikhulu Shange, who ran a record store. At one of many rallies meant to scare the Jewish owner away, Sharpton said, “…There is a systematic and methodical strategy to eliminate our people from doing business off 125th Street. I want to make it clear…that we will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.” Following a demonstration three months later, one of the protestors, a black man, stormed Freddy’s Fashion Mart with a pistol, screaming, “It’s on now! All blacks out!” In addition to shooting, he set fire to the building, eventually killing himself and seven others. Initially, Sharpton denied having spoken at any rallies. When tapes surfaced, he said, “What’s wrong with denouncing white interlopers?” , it was Sharpton's words that incited the riots and these deaths

With all of this stuff going on why hasn't anyone done anything about it? It is insane! I've said before; If Martin Luther King Jr. were here he would be outraged and what is going on in the black community and I am sure he would not be happy with the spin Al Sharpton puts on everything. The last thing he wanted was special treatment. He would now be Marching for the black community to take ownership and responsibility for their own lives and the lives of their families. I really think he would be ashamed......... What a disgrace.

I'm a lite skinned African American who was raised in both the ghetto of south central los angeles and the opulence of Santa Barbara California... mom divorced Dad... both were lite skinned blacks who had darker siblings.

Needless to say when my first cousins kids meet me for the first time they're taken back a bit as I look them in the eye and say "Yeah you got some white in you!"

OK so on topic... I hear what you folks are saying but don't start like a minority before you become one. Try to stop putting so much importance on being white (some of you). Nothing is more boring then to have a purple person constantly mentioning the fact that they're purple.

Lastly... I'm going to write a blog to address your blog Menamouse cause I believe what you said you said from the best parts of your heart and soul and mind. There is nothing white about that... there need be no us and them or I'd have to constantly apologize to myself for all that cotton.

who keeps him in the media then? who is hiding behind the tv screens trying to keep us divided? tell me his name and his sons name if you know?

That's even worse, peddling influence and getting rich off the back of his own race. He is hate filled, not only to Whites, but Blackes as well. There is not a place in H3LL dark enough for a wretched, filthy ,hateful, a-hole like him.

Thanks Gia! Al is not only a racist he is an opportunist. He capitalizes on other people's pain.

Starting a non-profit organization to address an issue is what makes this country so wonderful. In fact a truely effective organization that fights crime by positively affecting the lives of possible future criminals is one heck of alot more cost effective then building bigger jails, courthouses and prisons.

But more on Topic...

I think that MLK was not very popular in his day and Jackson and Sharpton are not popular for many of the same reasons. Why is it the media let's these men speak as if their voices are representative of certain people?

Because they are... I must admit I didn't like Sharpton when the media first started using him. I still don't like the way the media uses him and sometimes him only. But could any civil rights leader come on and criticize that video and not get a tounge lashing from some of you? If MLK rose from the dead and criticized those cops on that video for beating subdued suspects many of you would still take offense.

I would take offense if MLK came back from the dead and criticized those cops because we had 3 big stiuations going on.
1. A dead cop
2. 3 men shot
3. 3 men beaten

Which situation is the worst? I think I listed them in order. Al seems to not be concerned with number 1 or 2. People do not understand why. Therefore, people do take offense to him. It may possibly be because of the way the media portrays him.

One who takes offense says "Hey Al, what about the boys who were shot too?" or "Hey Al, what makes situation number 3 so much more important than 2?" I guess since we didn't see it happen, it's not as important.

Criticize the police for beating 3 men who just drove friend number 4 to shoot someone in retaliation. They don't get my sympathy whether they were white, black, purple or blue.
