Sharpton was one of the biggest rabble-rousers ever. (And, oh yeah....an invited guest to the Obama WH.)

Good god, you just can't help yourself, can you? It's amazing the way you extreme partisans find a way to bring your political opponents into everything. You just had to find a way to bring Obama into this as if he is, somehow, an indirect participant in a possible terrorist attack because...he met with the leader of the Nation of Islam in 2005. There is no evidence they are or were ever "buds," and even if they were, Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam had nothing to do with this attack. But who cares! Let's tie Obama into a terrorist attack because...words!

And on it goes...talking about people who have nothing to do with the attack in Jersey, but you don't like them and they are tangentially connected to Obama, so you fail to talk about the actual thread topic - the possible affiliations of a suspect who murdered six people - and instead crow about Obama and black activists you don't like.

That is such garbage. You obviously don't follow progressive journalism, and the story is at the top of the New York Times' homepage right now. Progressive newsoutlets may be the only branch of journalism that takes time to regularly report on mass shootings, focusing on senseless violence regardless of the killer's skin color.

Here is one such outlet. All they report on is gun violence and they have featured many stories on the particularly awful toll gun violence has taken on the black community.

Again, read thru the thread. After two very heinous anti Semitic incidents, all of a sudden there is palpable outrage after the third incident.

That’s not a coincidence. As to your feelings, it’s not my place to address that. I take you at your word.

As for others....well...

I find it ironic that given the actions of the BHI and the other protesters that day a while back in Washington, that instead a bunch of highschool kids were singled out and attacked as racists by the media that so drooled for the juicy narrative that they didn't slow down enough to get the other side of the story or do something obvious like oh...ask for the 10 minutes of tape prior to what they were sent.

Oh no, you're also joining in the pile-on of meaningless posts about Obama being black and having connections to prominent black activiests you don't like.

The number of visits seems telling to you, but I don't see what it has to do with the Black Isrealites or the attack in Jersey.

Here is a little context regarding Obama's relationship with Sharpton if you even care to know something about it, since it seems important to you:

I like Obama, but when his supporters throw around accusations of "NAZI" like confetti....it opens up the vault to Obama's associations and frankly it's hard to live down taking a picture with Farrakhan who is equivalent to having ones picture taken with a KKK grand wizard.

Furthermore, Sharpton cut his protesting teeth stirring up anti-jewish sentiment against Freddies Fashion Mart in NY where several employees were eventually murdered by a fellow protester. Did you not know that?
He has a shady past of stirring up racial hatred so again, the irony that suddenly Trump is the cause of all divisiveness meme gets Sharpton brought up.

So, basically if you run around constantly yelling nazi at the opposition, you have to buckle up for the blow-back. Same goes for the Republicans calling everything democrat "socialist" or "communist" etc. Politicians are consistently dishonest.

BTW, I read somewhere that Trump is formulating some kind of executive order on anti-semitism, spurred on by this and other recent events. I’m sure a lot of people here will have a problem with that.

He really needs to, and soon. I hope that he does.
