By the summer, Rev Al and Rev Jesse will have moved on to the next racial injustice where they can grab headlines and create new racial discord.

Why do folks continue to give this man a microphone. Please stop redistributing his words. This man does not speak for all of us.

One question I'd truly like to see answered. I think the man lost his credibility years ago yet he's still given center stage.

People should be alerted to the atmosphere out there being created by Sharpton, NBPP, and the mainstream media. Its going to get ugly, prepare.

He hasn't had any since Tawana Brawley, and even less now.

Well, no, the ugly atmosphere was created by the Sanford Police Department. If they, and the DA office, had done their jobs properly, there would have been no outcry.

We know the environment out there. Why stir up the rest of the nuts? Why continue to give ignorance a platform? If Sharpton and the Ignorant NBPP want to get out there and act the fool, let them. But don't make it appear that every black person will be following his lead.

Outcries are one thing. Bounties, calls for violence and actual violence are another.

“You return force with force and when someone assaults you,” he said. “George was out of breath. He was barely conscious. The last thing that he remembers doing is moving his head from the concrete to the grass, so that if he was banged one more time, he wouldn’t be wearing diapers for the rest of his life and being spoon-fed by his brother.”
How do you go from "barely conscious" to being "straddled over the body with hands on his back" in a matter of seconds?
