Hey look over there, not over here.

Those are much more important and highly responsible positions in society.

Sharpton ought to tackle THOSE travesties and shake down the airlines and medical schools.

We're entering a new "Age of Stupidity" with regard to racial equality.

Why does he have to announce he's appalled? Isn't that pretty much a constant state for him?

When Rev Al starts accusing professional basketball management of racism due to under representation of white starters, I'll bite. What a tool.

What is the difference, they were selected because of their acting abilities, not the color of their skin. Sharpton is the king of all jackasses!

Seems to me that for some it's all about skin color.

Go, Al, Go!

Give the libs a taste of their hypocracy and intolerance. Aren't they surprised. Guess their payments to Al for future missteps were lagging. A case of plenary indulgence where sinners get forgiveness for past and future ommissions for pay.

IF he really had any interest in so-called 'equality' he'd be calling for positions to be filled by the most qualified people, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, etc.

Rev Sharpton stands for PROGRESS in this area, shedding light on the absurdity of this nonsense, that has been going on since Slavery. Kudos to Rev. Sharpton and what he stands for. His superior position in this area, fighting racism by whites against black people, is a noble cause, one that is superior to anything Conservatives and bigots stand for.

He makes bigots uncomfortable and this is good.
Hey genius, Hollywood is all your liberal ilk.
Don't blame this on your conservative boogeymen.
