Follow the money, if the world was free of racism these pecker necks would be out of business. Men like this keep racism alive.

That is the thing, you are having a hard time realizing that racism doesnt come in just the form of hatred. Exploiting people because of their race is also a form of racism.

I understand if you are a liberal, that you don't understand that exploiting a race is a form of racism. The Democrats have been using exploitation of different races from their beginning until the present. I consider this racist.

Also another thing that you fail to think about when it comes to people like Jackson and Sharpton, is that they are also quick to call blacks that don't agree with them Uncle Toms, Aunt Jemimas, House Negros etc...

And I suppose you don't think those are being used as racially derogatory terms?

11. Some of my best friends are____________.

13. If your heart isn't in America, get your ass out of America.
14. NIMBY
15. "Why are his pants on the ground?"
16. Black guy, white woman? Trailer trash!
17. It wouldn't have happened in my day.
18. Go back to Africa, boy.

I have a hard time believing that Jackson and Sharpton view themselves, and their race as inferior to another race. I'm not buying it. I also don't see how they exploit an entire race. What I do see is their exploitation of events and situations, but an entire race of people, I don't think so. Jackson is an equal opportunity exploiter, remember Terry Shialvo, she was White. I've also heard many people, mostly conservative, accuse Sharpton of being racist against White people. So which one is it?

I notice that you dont deny that exploiting people based on their race is racism. You obviously think those racially derogatory terms are fine to use. So, obviously you hold the same views as them, well, if that is the case, there isnt anything anyone can explain to you, because if you dont think there is anything wrong with it, that will continue to be the way you think..

But, know this lets people know the type of person you are.

Remember.. the main followers of Jackson and Sharpton, are liberal whites.

You keep trying to put words where there is none. Why can't you look at the words people type? Because they dont fit into your world?

No one said that jackson or sharpton view blacks as inferior... We said that they exploit blacks.

Where did you learn to read people's mind. Quite a skill you have. Of course exploiting someone because of their race is racism, but that is not the case of Sharpton or Jackson. You also failed to respond to the point as to whether Sharpton and Jackson are racist against White people

No they are not racist against white people.. white people well mainly white liberals are their biggest supporters.

if you don't think that these two exploit black people to further their own agenda you are mistaken...

Notice you still are not denying that you think those racially derogatory terms that sharpton and jackson call other blacks are even wrong... maybe if you could admit they were wrong, you could start understanding how racism is more then hatred or thinking an entire race is the only form of racism.

Pushing racism is in and of itself racist. This is what these two do, they try to push racism, which creates more racism.

You said Jackson and Sharpton were racist towards Blacks.
