Made me feel what way?

My "real life" has been pretty good. Hell, pretty good is an understatement. It's been fantastic in the real sense of the word.

Makes them a little more obvious.

Conveniently ignoring the fact that Sharpton is the biggest racist in this conversation.....

Pardon me then but your previous post seemed to imply that you believe white people seem to expect blacks to "shut up and show our teeth"? Sounds like you have had more than your fair share of exposure to racism.

Sharpton a has-been ? After 40+ years as a civil rights activist, Sharpton's at the peak of his influence.

For all they know, maybe I hate Sharpton. But ain't gonna say it here regardless.


Right. Wow. There's nothing else to say.

Of course you won't . I'm not going to read the entire thread but has ANY black here denounced him or is blood thicker than common sense? I know ONE at another forum who puts right and wrong ahead of skin color. I know one opinionatedblack man here I don't much agree with but I believe he's an honest man.

Why should anyone denounce Mr Sharpton on this thread?

Unless this thread's real purpose was to provoke criticism of Mr Sharpton?

The only feelings I see the media having is about what'll get them the highest ratings.

I don't know if any other black person here had denounced him. Why? Is that what you want? Would that please you?

I don't know what "blood thicker than water" even means. I'll just bypass that point. As for common sense, what you really mean is that disagreeing with you shows a lack of common sense instead of a genuine reason for disagreement.

You know an opinionated black man and you believe that he's honest? LMAO...great. I know some black folks on CD too. I'm assuming that they're honest, but i don't know them personally.

What folks "expect" and what they get are two different things. I'm not gonna buckdance for anyone.

Exposure to racism? Maybe i was exposed to it, but i damn sure wasn't a victim of it. And if i was, i rectified it right then and there.
