I'll ask again, are you embarrassed or ashamed for Sharpton to be A leader ?

His high level political connections, the National Action Network, the tv show. Practically every local story that becomes national involves Sharpton. Same for protests and marches. Who just met with Sony execs ?

Is he THE leader, do ALL blacks follow or agree with him ? No. But to deny he is A leader denies reality.

This is not about if Al Sharpton is A leader. The thread clearly states Al Sharpton is not THE voice of Black America. Keyword being "THE".

And what does this have to do with embarrassment?

Whether you did or did not is no concern to me....in this thread...you did not....you tried to slam the right...I called you on it.

BTW...

And just so you know, Limbaugh turned himself in, it was not time and time again, and his record was expunged.....

He was playing the schoolyard "I know you are, what am I" and few realized they were being played. He didn't start it.

And you've slammed the left many times, so do not behave as if you aren't guilty of doing the same thing.

But you have done it, so don't complain about me doing it. You claimed that you call out hypocrisy, but you have done something hypocritical yourself. In a nutshell, there is hypocrisy coming from you.

The post I responded to claimed Sharpton is not and never has been A leader. Ridiculous. imo, there must be a reason to deny the obvious, and I suggested shame or embarrassment as possible reasons.

THE voice is a different matter. I've seen MLK mentioned. The fact is, not even he was THE voice of ALL blacks. Using 'THE voice' stacks the deck as a standard. I'll put it to you this way. In the past 5-10 years, who among national figures has had more influence and a larger following than Sharpton in addressing issues like employment discrimination, unfairness in the justice system, voter ID laws, corporate diversity, and other issues of special concern to blacks ?
