Only in America, you can have a fool like Al Sharpton, build an entire career based on race baiting. They even gave him a TV show, apparently Al Sharpton and his cronies will occupy Sanford until they get what they want. Smart business man capitalizing on his own people's ignorance.

That's what that racist con-man does. No different than Richard Butler, the moron that lead the Aryian Nations a few years ago. A bitter old racist, pandering to the hatred of idiots.

Al Sharpton is doing a good job. He is channeling very angry people's energy towards non violent actions.

Sharpton's past, which I am ultra critical of is not an inhibitor in this case. Sanford's past is causing their problems. This is NOT the cities first incident by any means. Are they seeking to become the 2012 version of what was once properly called Bombingham, Alabama.

All the protests are the fault (solely) of the cities pd and leadership.

Right. That's all we need, Al (Tawana Brawley - Crystal Gail Mangum)
Sharpton.

Get a bunch of very angry people together, add accusatory rhetoric,
fan the flames of injustice and hate, and what do you get? Riots,
acrimony, and violence.

I remember the race riots of the 60s. I have had beer bottles thrown
at me, and been attacked only because I was white.

People advocating violence are fools.

Sharpton's a buzzard circling looking to get his piece of the tragedy to feed on.

Obviously Sanford is very racist and the police reflect that. Having the racist police chief step aside and putting in a "rent a black" as temporary chief is not going to cure decades of racism

Sharpton and Jackson are media wh*ores. They will do anything for camera time.

They embarrass and make terrible spokesman for any group of people.

Well you and me as whites run this country and therefore we have a big responsibility to see to it that our system, which we put into place and we run, provides fairness and justice for all people. When we fail at this, people get rightly pissed off and we get projectiles coming towards us.
