Sharpton is trying to keep his MSNBC job.

I wonder if they pay his expenses ?

Profiting from the death is sick and disgusting. Unfortunately, this describes the circle of exploiters promoting the Trayvon Martin traveling show after his death. There's nothing like having the president, the attorney general, the state attorney general, several civil rights lawyers, and invested others to help you in your campaign.

He is probably safer than Joe or any one on that team. Any of then could be cut loose at will, but, not him, he would have a lawsuit he was fired for being black, not being a jerk. Anyone see a problem with that?

Sharpton just needs something to keep him in front of the cameras. He has done this for years. He is a blowhard, who doesn't really care about the needs of others.

Obama is no better, Obama has managed to undermine the nation's unanimity through the deliberate fostering of racial, political, religious, and class-based conflict. In other words, the President of the United States is actively endeavoring to poke his finger to into past grievances in hopes of creating festering sores he seems committed to exacerbating.

No, Mr Obama is not interested in black on black crimes, not interested in the sex slave trade where American girls walking the streets of Chicago not by choice but out of fear of the johns, no, Obama is only interested in more division so he can rebuild in HIS own vision.

what al sharpton really needs to do before he pops off about a civil rights prosecution against martin, is READ THE LAW regarding civil rights prosecution. it states that only those operating under the color of law can be prosecuted for civil rights violations. that means police officers, prosecutors, etc. are teh ones that can be prosecuted on civil rights violations, NOT private citizens.

This was a tragedy that was made even worse by a State Prosecutor and race baiters like Sharpton with his "protests". We don't have vigilante justice in this country, but that's exactly what Sharpton thinks we should have.
Trayvon Martin is dead because of "vigilante justice"

George Zimmerman was his judge,jury and executioner.

If your child was dead and his killer was free, are you seriously saying you would not have an attorney ?

Rather than tell young black men to pull up their pants, talk proper and say "yes, ma'am", "no, sir", how about you work on changing the hearts and minds of people who think these negative thoughts? Why should young black men have to change who they are and how they dress because some folks don't like it?

The way I see it you can't have it both ways. If "young black men" choose to wear their pants around their knees, speak ebonics and glorify the ghetto life style then they have absolutely no right to complain when no one offers them a decent job. It's not really a racial thing though as the same goes for white people or any other race too. If you want the world to take you seriously, regardles sof your race, sex or nationality, learn to speak the language properly and don't act like a dumbass. Pretty simple concept to understand.

Maybe he has a case against the Judge, the Special Prosecutor Angela Corey and State Attorneys that failed to get a conviction. Works for me - Angela Corey deserves to be disbarred for withholding evidence.
