Just a few things that pissed me off..... Why do people listen to this man????


"Tawana Brawley Controversy
In the Tawana Brawley case, a 15-year-old black girl was found smeared with feces, lying in a garbage bag, her clothing torn and burned and with various slurs and epithets written on her body in charcoal. Brawley claimed that she had been assaulted and raped by six white men, some of them police officers, in the town of Wappingers Falls, New York.

Attorneys Alton H. Maddox and C. Vernon Mason joined Sharpton in support of Brawley. A grand jury was convened; after seven months of examining police and medical records, the jury determined that Brawley lied about being assaulted by the police. Sharpton, Maddox and Mason accused the Dutchess County prosecutor, Steven Pagones, of being one of the perpetrators of the alleged abduction and rape. The three were successfully sued for slander and ordered to pay $345,000 in damages, the jury finding Sharpton liable for making seven defamatory statements about Pagones, Maddox for two and Mason for one.


Crown Heights Riot
The Crown Heights Riot occurred after a car accident involving the motorcade for the Lubavitcher Rebbe killing a young boy, Gavin Cato. A riot was sparked after a private Hasidic ambulance came to the scene and, on the orders of a police officer, removed the Hasidic driver from the scene. Gavin Cato and his cousin Angela were picked up soon after by a city ambulance. Caribbean-American and African-American residents of the neighborhood then rioted for four consecutive days fueled by rumors that the private ambulance had refused to treat Cato.

Sharpton became the de-facto representative for the Cato family. During the funeral he referred to "diamond merchants" considered a code word for Hasidic Jews, for shedding "the blood of innocent babies" leading marchers shouting "No Justice No Peace". A visiting rabbinical student from Australia by the name of Yankel Rosenbaum, 29 years old, was killed during the rioting by a mob shouting "Kill the Jew".


Freddy's Fashion Mart
In 1995, Sharpton led a protest in Harlem against the plans of Freddy's Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store, to expand into a black neighborhood, displacing a black retailer. Sharpton told the protesters, "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." Three months later, an armed protester forcibly entered the store and burned it down, killing himself and seven others. Sharpton distanced himself from the crime, claiming the perpetrator was an open critic of the civil rights leader and his nonviolent tactics. Nonetheless, Sharpton later expressed regret for making the racial reference, "white interloper," though he denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.


LoanMax spokesman
In November 2005, Sharpton appeared in advertisements for LoanMax, an automobile title loan company. Sharpton was criticized for appearing in the ads, as LoanMax has been accused of predatory lending charging fees, and for marketing them to primarily poor, urban and African American audiences. The ads featuring Sharpton were run in predominantly African American markets.

On December 7, 2005, he ended his relationship with LoanMax. In a letter to Rod Aycox, LoanMax president and chief executive officer, he said, "I respectfully, but firmly decline your offer for further engagement on my part, and will not engage in any business relationship to promote auto lending with LoanMax." Sharpton said he had not done the research before agreeing to the commercials."

Why do people accept his hypocrisy and racist remarks???

- NCSU

 

That loser is nothing more than a racist hypocrite. Wish he would just shut up and disapear

 

This is how he make a good living with out working.

 

He destroys any credible crusade he joins up with.

Sharpton is an attention ***** that only cares about himself and no one else.

 

I wish him and Jesse Jackson would just disappear and never be heard from again.

 

Neither Rev. Jackson or Al Sharpton have any intention of every bringing equality to black Americans because that is against their main objective which is to separate and divide…

Rev. Jackson and Al Sharpton make a living at separation and division of races and they pray to God every morning that white Americans and black Americans will never come together and live peacefully with equal equality…

These two boys are the biggest racist America has ever seen. I don't call them men because they are not men, just two boy's with huge mental problems filled with hate for any race but their own...

 

basically everything that you guys said....can't think of a simpler way to pit it...MLKjr would probably dislike them for what they do

 

Al Sharpton is a disgrace to the Human race.

 

Sharpton is one of the reasons that racism continues to exist in this country. He doesn't care about unifying anyone... especially if it will decrease his publicity and ultimately his paycheck.

 

With Sharpton being all fired up regarding the Imus situation and calling for equal treatment for everyone no matter there skin color...... where was during the Duke Lacrosse players incident ?????????

Oh yeah.... no where to be found!!!! Talk about racism!??!?!?!

Tiny

 

ya i know the duke player's lives are a little bit ruined by that slutty striper and the local civil rights groups who came to a conclusion before any credible evidence(which there wasn't any) was found, i mean you don't go calling people ravaging rapists on the words of a striper

 

If I had me a talkin striper, I'd give up my day job and beat feet to Geraldo.

 

I dont think he would have anything to do with them

 

 

Most Americans think the same about Imus so I guess it is a wash.
