Al Sharpton's National Action Network does NOT show up to ANYTHING unless they're called first.

And even then, you have to prove your case. Contrary to popular belief, he doesn't just pop up on the scene.

Hint: Traveling down the interstate and sign says next exit MLK. Keep on going.
There are lots of nice MLK streets in America.

MLK Ring in my hometown is in our commercial and municipal district, and its beautiful.

Meth has no color bounds. It's and equal opportunity poison. The Rez here is rife with it. As is the Mexican population community, or the nastier section, thereof. I don't, personally, know of any drug that discriminates based on color.

Well, maybe if I did live where you did, I might see more. I only know about meth what I've heard out of Iowa or out of the suburbs of Atlanta.

Albert has never been about anything more than lining his own pockets, and nothing less. The most pathetic excuse for a supposed altruistic and righteous "leader."

The guy is a toxic publicity w---- who stirs up more racial antagonism possibly than anyone else in the history of America.

That isn't surprising.

He is involved in margins to help the black youth. Getting information is key.

Black folks almost as a rule don't use, manufacture, or sell meth. It's just one of those "we don't do's."

I'm not saying there aren't any Blacks doing such things. I'm saying I've never seen Blacks manufacture, use, or sell meth.

According to data from 2001, 56.7 percent of Black men are married, with contrasts with 72.6 percent for White men, 66.6 percent for Asian men, and 60 percent for Hispanic men. In short, the Black population has a higher percentage of unmarried men than any other population in the USA.


And when Black people get married, the average age of marriage for Black men is around 31. For White men, that tends to be 28.

Black, White, Hispanic, American Indian, Asian. No bounds of color where manufacture, distributionthe and use , of any drug, is concerned. Follow the money. Culturally, use of meth seems more prominent in white, Indian and Hispanic culture, where with blacks the drug of cboice points to heroin. Historically. But that's just it. Drug of the choice. Dealers, of any color, will sling what makes them money. With all the new, designer, drugs now, that could be anything.
