And how does he hold black people back, or make them look ridiculous?

Because he is black and does something it goes against all other blacks? Well, since every race has people that does something stupid in the media, then I guess every race looks ridiculous and gets held back.

Maybe that is the problem, we need to get rid of all media so no one can make their entire race look ridiculous and hold them back.

I don't care what ethnicity or race a politician is. If he found to be corrupt he needs to be tried and convicted. The crime itself is bad enough but there should be additional penalties for violating the public trust.
Agreed. I think any elected representative caught with his/her hand in the cookie jar of unethical behavior should lose their retirement/health benefits guaranteed to them upon leaving Congress.

Congress men and women need to be held to real accountability rather than a slap on the wrists and a cushy position with lobbying firms.

These two should do a sit com together.

Should a black leader like Sharpton defend a basket of corruption?

crucifixion?
yes

if he did violate he should in fact man up.

im not a fan of sharpton but alot of what he says make sense if you actually listen i listened to the cat show the other day and listen how he sons ignorant callers sharptons not that bad he just goes over the top a lot

and what i learned is when some people state the obvious others do not like it IDK

Accountability?? I would be shocked if 20% of Government workers have the ability to recite the definition!
