You might not like the guy, but he makes a whole lot of sense here. Whether you agree with 100% of what he says, it is what his audience NEEDS TO HEAR!!!

And they need to act on it.

Reverend Al

quote:

Sharpton said the “bad apples” must be taken care of within American police departments, but the black community must also be “straight up” about its own issues......We’ve got to clean up our community so we can clean up the United States of America.....should also be outrage by “our killing and shooting and running around gun-toting each other” in places like Chicago.....“Nobody going to help us if we don’t help ourselves,” he said. “Sitting around, feeling sorry for ourselves won’t solve the problems.”


Wow. On point.

NSIAP, Cannot be posted enough.

I hope some politician doesn't drive by and give a political speech at my funeral.

Al may be correct about in this one paragraph, but al has been wrong too many other times. Way wrong.

Until he publically apologizes for his role in the Tawana Brawley "scandal", I think I'll take what he said with a grain of salt.

He and JJ are just starting to realize that with actual intelligent black men like Ben Carson and others arriving on the seen that their game is getting old. The majority of decent, hard working black people don't fall for their bullshite any longer. The black majority has evolved past these two assclowns!

Can we put Sharpton on point in Iraq? I could get behind that.
