You can't make up your mind.

I'm not gonna discuss my feelings about Al Sharpton. That's none of your concern. If i disliked him, i wouldn't tell you anyway.

And yeah...i cheer him on simply because folks like you hate him and can't really do a damn thing about it BUT hate!
If it is none of my business, then perhaps you should refrain from participating in a thread that deals with that subject.

I know it is embarrasing to have Sharpton for a leader. You deny he is that, but cannot bring yourself to even criticize him. Then you try to shrug your shoulders about the whole thing.

Talk about not making up your mind!

They're just trying to get under our skins by getting us to put down other blacks for THEIR satisfaction. But i don't let 'em put me into that trap. I'm not putting down Sharpton for anybody and if i have a problem with him, i'll tell other blacks. That's it.

They're in no hurry to put down such racial pot stirring luminaries as Limbaugh, Nugent and O'Reilly.
How could the majority not back him?

Sharpton represents the Zeitgeist of Black America in the 21st Century. Whitey is always wrong and black folks are always getting the shaft.

White merchants in Harlem are "interlopers." White cops are not defending themselves but rather are assassins.

The majority of Blacks believe that. Sharpton is their Leader and Voice.

You got me! I confess. I did it.
I can not speak for him but d.d. doesn't support Sharpton for what he says or does and I doubt they pay attention to it. The only support is the part that annoys you.

It's kind of a Ann Coulter kind of thing. I find it funny also at how upset people get over her.

Sharpton must be the leader........I see him with the mayor of NYC.......I see him with the POTUS.......he even visits the president at home.

Anytime a black person is kill by a cop lately........Sharpton is there.

Sharpton even went to see that the black ELOA victim was treated right.

What in the world would the poor blacks do without Sharpton?????

I don't deny that supporting Sharpton annoys me. Supporting David Duke also annoys me.

However, the thread is about whether Rev Al is the Leader of Black America. The evidence clearly shows that he is just that.

Interesting is it not? Lots of people deny that on this thread. Yet not one of them will offer even a modicum of criticism.

Speaks volumes.

Zeitgeist? Now you're trying to use big words?

If we back him or not...it's none of your business.

Don't be stupid. Of course it's my business. This is my country and yours. Everything that happens here concerns both of us.

What was I denying?

I don't think we should have to explain ourselves. And especially with the likes of Limbaugh and Nugent, and Buchanan, I don't think we should have to prove ourselves, or explain ourselves. We should be able to decide for ourselves. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?

Sadly, sometimes alot of this has to do with those who will try and lie, or go and twist things.
