Al Sharpton to be given a say in how Sony makes movies.

So racist Amy Paschal meets with racist Al Sharpton (I guess David Duke was busy) and the upshot is that Sharpton will be given a say in how Sony makes movies.
Only in America.

A criminal hack exposed a racist email exchange between Sony co-Chair Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin, and now humiliation tour has begun. Thursday Pascal met with MSNBC’s Al Sharpton. If she was looking for absolution, she didn’t get it. After the 90 minute meeting in Manhattan, Sharpton went before the media and announced that “the jury is still out on where we go.”
The Los Angeles Times suggests there is a silver lining, “Sharpton did not call for Pascal to step down,” but that’s not how Sharpton operates. Now that he has his hooks in a major movie studio, he can abuse that power. The New York Post explains how:
Pascal agreed to let Sharpton have a say in how Sony makes motion pictures, in an effort to combat what he called “inflexible and immovable racial exclusion in Hollywood.”
“We have agreed to having a working group deal with the racial bias and lack of diversity in Hollywood,” said Sharpton.

"Nothing can go wrong with this arrangement", said no one.

This is ALL on that dumb bitch Amy Paschal choosing to go grovel before him.

Maybe they'll pay him enough to pay his back taxes?

I can just see the lines stretching around the block.

I can see him in a director's chair with a megaphone saying, "It's Cheep-O-Lay, not ChiPOTle!"

I knew this was going to happen from the moment I heard she set up a voluntary meeting with Sharpton. Not sure what she was expecting to get out of it but, my God, why would you even set yourself up for what would be imminent extortion? 
I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that conversation.

I honestly don't know where Sharpton fits into any of these narratives (or how, or why for that matter).
Step 1: Executives make some (relatively tame) off-color remarks about the President as well as other third-party celebs in private correspondence.
Step 2: E-mails get hacked, execs are embarrassed (though most don't seem to think the content was all that bad), and apologize.
Step 3: Let's talk to a Al Sharpton.
There's some logical break here.
To another poster's remark, who gives Al Sharpton power? Is it the small percentage of liberals and black Americans who take him seriously, or the powers that be in the industry who pretend to take him seriously?
I'm leaning toward the latter.

Sharpton is milking it for all it is worth...
more power to him...
it is all of the really, really STUPID people that are giving him the power.
Only in America can a criminal aligned with the right people continue to climb.

Apparently when you are labeled as a racist company (even if it isn't true), you have to get back in the good graces of the race-baiters to clear your name.

You have been living in that world since Bensonhurst in 1986. This may top Jesse's shakedown of Burger King.

Agreed. It's just weird.

It really reminds me of before when there were only a few networks. It seemed like every time there was a situation like this, the exact same 3-4 black faces were foisted upon us to give us the "black view" and for that matter, vice versa.
Somehow, people have come to view running to Sharpton or Jackson as some sort of public cleansing session. I can only assume they do this because their PR people tell them it's useful. Would love to know why their PR people think this? What evidence do they have?
Somehow, I suspect not a living soul who thought she was racist before think she's no now that she groveled to Sharpton. So why do it?

This whole thing is laughable.

Hearing this re Sharpton, I just quit caring a frick about anything that happens to Sony. But if anyone questions his "power", just look at the various pictures of him with the mayor of N.Y, with Obama, with Derrick Fricking Jeter at his final Yankee Stadium appearance. And since the Japs killed 2 of my uncles during WW11, double frick Sony.
