Al Sharpton on "Learning from our past..."

[StoogeWatcher]

Learn from the past? Al Sharpton should follow his own advice.

[FreedomInAmerica]

Obama is a socialist. He took over the automobile, mortgage, banking, and health care industries via legislation and regulation. Govt is expected to own 70% up from 19% in 2008.

. He stated that the tragedies of the civil rights movement was that the Supreme Court didn’t bring about redistributive change. watch?v=Sj4yIE9Dd90 He told Joe the Plumber in 2008, that he wanted to spread the wealth around. watch?v=PUvwKVvp3-o

[FreedomInAmerica]

Al Sharpton believes that a vote for Obama was a vote for socialism. watch?v=KCpINI5aVy0 Al Sharpton wants to share the wealth. “Al Sharpton: We Won't Have True Social Justice Until Everything is Equal in Everybody's House” watch?v=95bcEb1rV18

.

Sharpton should start by giving up his $5 million (from celebrity net worth com) It’s also worth noting Hilter was a socialist that seemed to follow the Communist Manifesto.

TRUTH BE TOLD:

I hear so much negativity about Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Louis Farrakhan. It's almost like these men are the modern day Adolph Hitler split into 3. WHAT'S SO IRONIC is when you take the time to listen to what they're saying, they make more sense than most.

.

I guess this is why Oprah Winfrey never invited them on her show. She's afraid she'll become a fan. THEY MIGHT MAKE SENSE TO HER, and her popularity among whites will drop quicker than Enron Stock. lol

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 excellent points, anyone who really, sincerely fights for the struggle, and not exploit the condition, that person will always be ostracized and defined inaccurately......Jesse received tons of death threats when he ran for president in 1988, Al Sharpton ran the greatest presidential campaign ever back in 2004 because he was speaking facts and was not trying to cater, and farrakhan, the powers that be dont' even want to deal w/him on any level

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 and what's most unfortunate, when obama was running for president, there was a ton of black people who shunned anything al or jesse had to say, and these are the very people who have consistently fought for civil rights/human rights decades before anyone even knew who obama was, one individual attaining a position at the expense of an historical precedent may prove to be counterproductive if we don't appreciate the efforts of those from our past.

[americanpatriot00]

@scorpionJB - I commented on another channel that I didn't like Oprah, and I got so many other women shocked that I said such a thing.When Obama was giving his victory speech, a camera panned the audience and caught Oprah resting her elbow on some guy's shoulder she didn't know. The same camera caught Jesse Jackson behind her crying like a baby (MLK's Dream fulfilled). And who did Oprah invite on her show the next day? The stranger, not the Pioneer who paved the way for black folk like her.

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 also, what people don't know is that obama modeled his political campaign after Jesse's rainbow push coalition movement of the early 80's, and that's what propelled this man to the white house, and I'm sure Jesse was angry about that, and in the process, not only his movement copied, but he's been ostracized in the process, as well as an entire body of black luminaries who have fought for this struggle. If you noticed, the luminaries aren't invited on TV like they used to.

[americanpatriot00]

@scorpionJB - I completely disagree with you on Jesse Jackson being angry.On the contrary, I think he's more proud of Obama than people think. If you noticed when Obama was giving his victory speech in Chicago's Grant Park after he won the election, Rev. Jesse Jackson was crying like a baby, because he knows that having a Black Man as President was a monumental achievement that he and King worked for during the Civil Rights Movement. SO YOU ARE WRONG!

Jesse is not petty like that.

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 that's not what i'm refering to, what i'm saying is that, to get this man in office, all of the other black luminaries who have fought for the struggle have essentially been ostracized, jesse, al, congressional black caucus, even the president's former pastor of 20 plus years, and jesse already knew that's what it was going to take before it happened, what i'm saying, we shouldn't propel one single individual to prominence by sacrificing those efforts from our past

[americanpatriot00]

@scorpionJB - Well, keep in mind that WE didn't do it alone. WE had help from lots of white folk, Native Americans, Hispanics and Arab Muslim Americans who felt ostracized after 9/11. Obama appealed more to these people than the others.

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 w/out question this is true......and I respect all cultures and creeds, and one day, it would be awesome if this nation can move beyond all of this, but Obama received the largest support from black people than anyone else, he got 97% of our vote. as far as Al and Jesse, they've always stood up when the situation called for it, and I'll always appreciate their efforts.

[americanpatriot00]

@scorpionJB - I wish during Black History Month, in addition to showing all the significant inventions made by blacks, they showed TV Specials of what life was like during JIM CROW America and the stand people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton took during those times, because you almost get the feeling that nobody believes that Jesse Jackson was Martin Luther King's "Wing Man". He was in the same strentches as Martin.

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 beautiful points, this is why black history month continues to lose it's relevance because the people who have say so aren't focusing on the people who have actually been involved in the struggle, who are the true face of the struggle, the powers that be knew exactly what it was doing in propelling Obama to the nation's highest office, to do that, they knew most blacks would shun the efforts of the true luminaries, they don't mind Dr. king getting props because he's dead

[scorpionJB]

@americanpatriot00 you know those shows that CNN has been presenting for the last 2 years: Being black in america?.....I don't even watch that stuff because it's condescending, if america doesn't know how it's been being black in this country, then who are we really fooling. I've heard people crack on Jesse for the past 3 years during Obama's rise to prominence, what they don't know is that Jesse has taking allot of death threats to seek justice for all who have been neglected

[NSTX7]

Al Sharpton needs to buy a shotgun, put the barrel in his mouth, and squeeze (not pull) the trigger.

[pookiebear97]

@Th3Individual, They can't white people are nuts-Notice these good whites never killed the racist whites off......

[skate2000fl]

This guy is an idiot

[Mr88playmaker]

Al Sharpton is a disgrace to his Republican Fathers who abolished slavery, afforded blacks every Constitutional amendment in existence, fought against the purely Democrat imposed segregation off the South, were lynched together (both blacks and whites), who created the NAACP, and whose sons still fight to afford blacks education, break the Democrats' Poverty Industry slave-chains off their ankles, and resist the Democrats' policy of black genocide / infanticide.

[americanpatriot00]

@Mr88playmaker - I consider myself a non-biased person who's open to hearing ALL opinions, but it's always interesting how people like you call others names, and say how bad they are, BUT OFFER NO REASONALBE EXPLANATION. It's just like an arguement I had the other day with some guy who said Muhammad Ali was racist, but couldn't explain how he arrived to that conclusion, or point out anything Ali said that would be considered racist.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

Lacking any true positive role models they emulated those in the hood that did represent success. At that point, The hustlers and pimps filled the void abandoned by True Black Role models that were present during the Jim Crow Era. Add drugs and negative images in the media and you end up with total chaos that seems to reign today. The positive aspect of Jim Crow was that we were forced to rely on ourselves. We did a great job at to. We owned hotels, stadiums, hospitals you name it.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

Young Brothers have lost their way because too many successful Blacks Bailed out and headed for the burbs once they had the chance. They closed down and sold out our ownership stake in Black businesses and went to work for Whites. Basically they abandoned our economic foundation. They wanted a seat at the white mans table. They got it. Then they bailed. No plan existed beyond getting a seat at the white mans table.We must rebuild our economic foundation and connect it to African Development!

[americanpatriot00]

@ResearchKnowledge123 - I agree with you that MORE of us black folk who've "made it" need to rebuild our economic foundation and connect it to BLACK AMERICAN COMMUNITIES. The problem is.......how to handle the "niggas" in these communities. Black Folks are fine. It's the "niggas" that keep pulling us back into the barrel.

.

ALSO, Don't fault someone who was raised in a dangerous gang war zone and wants to move out as soon as they get the chance. That's a "NIGGA" WAY OF THINKING.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

@americanpatriot00 First off, I make no distinction between educated responsible Blacks, and those you like to refer to as "Niggas", It's the leaderships responsibility to reign in the ignorant trouble makers. The Elders and those that consider themselves Leaders must lead by example. If there were a massive migration of Affluent Blacks back into broken neighborhoods, The political and law enforcement communities would take notice. These individuals could use their influence to demand change.

[ResearchKnowledge123]

@americanpatriot00 Hooligans run wild and take over only when they see that they can. Smart, well organized and determined leaders and communities could easily take back a crime infested neighborhood. For example, if every Black Church adopted there neighborhood within a 1 mile radius of the church big changes could happen. instead of worshipping every Sunday they could fan out and clean streets, paint over graffiti, report drug houses, stage sit in's at police precincts when they dont act etc.

[mprice0920]

Excellent points.... only 22,307 since 2007? This clip needs more exposure. The dancing babies are at 3 mill....

[lubime10]

you are a undeniably wrong Dr., Phd, Rev., Sharpton., How could you go back to school and read again the History or Do you read your facts and stop rewriting History.

[ashrafilm]

it is true, white america = evil. black america = udnerstanding and love and unification of all people. never trust the white man, america is safer with blacks. they dont mean harm, just love them as our people. look at the greats of theirs, you will lsiten sit and learn then you will lvoe and realise that it is just white media trying to control your ideas to be KKK. i am asian and i have unified all blacks in UK to be my mate. its just white racism.

[HosackDan]

excuse me but have you heard of genocide? you know black leaders though africa have murdered more of their own then hitler and the jews? your logic is profoundly illogical. whats evil about white america? you know your whole last comment so prejudice that it means nothing. you as better of as the whites who hates blacks and the blacks who hate whites. how about this... never trust a man who can uphold a legal living.... something more logical

[gtarace09]

@ashrafilm That makes sense, aside from the higher black on black killing percentage than any other murder rate in the country. The country is safer with all blacks? That's ridiculous. I'm not saying it's safer without black people. I'm just saying your logic is absolutely retarded.

[oscarmacaroni]

none of YOU were ever slaves... get over your ridiculous selves.....!!!

[kevykev38]

I agree with you! 100%

[oscarmacaroni]

AL SHARPTON....RACIST-PIMP!!!

[kevykev38]

Leave the past in the past! We are of different people now. You don't have to fight for a freedom you already have. Al Sharpton thinks and it looks like he's doing good ...But actually he's making it very hard for the black community. There were white slaves too. Do we blame it on blacks? No There is slavery going on today still. Look at the numbers. The number of people that work for pennies. its slavery to me.

[rnf12]

White slaves were actually indentured servants who earned their freedom after a period of work. And by the way, white slaves were owned by whites, not blacks, as your post implies. This system was quickly ended once they began to equate skin color with servitude.

[kevykev38]

.......Yawn.............What should we do to eradicate this hatred Black to white and versa? I personally don't have a problem with skin color why? Why should i ? I wasn't around when the slave stuff was going down. This is an ongoing saga that will keep going unless we make change and DO NOT TALK ABOUT IT!

[wheaton87]

Please enroll in classes @ the local community college, and educate yourself. And if you are already taking classes get your money back and kill yourself because you are a ignorant bitch KEVYKEV!!!!

[wheaton87]

No violence I asked you to kill yourself. I didn't say I wanted to kill you. Killing yourself would make the world a better place.

[wheaton87]

Kevykev I hope your mother dies. I know she was raped in the pussy. LOL

[wheaton87]

The focus shouldn't be on me as much as it should be on what is missing from your life truth knowledge and excellence. I refuse to insult myself by trying to enlightening an ignorant bitch such as yourself. I speak to you in terms of what you understand. Hey did you know your mom sucks so much dick she walks around on her knees.lol No be a good kid and kill yourself.

[kevykev38]

Look ...I am not gonna waist my time any longer with some kid hacking around on his mother's computer.  Grow up,get a job,get a life,and stop trying to put people down. This is my last comment to you any comments you send me from hereon will be deleted and not read.

BYE

[wheaton87]

Good tell your mom I send my regards.....

[FreiKonigsberg]

You haven't even been subverted by a community college,wheaton87. You received all your facts from the back of a fruit loops box. YOU keep killing yourselves and the population might even out scumbag.

[kevykev38]

He said "our people"....Yet when a white man says "You people" its wrong? What a racist piece of shit!

[rdatlasmbrd]

once again blaming artist for problems they did not create.

The American Dream is to be GANSTA! Do your research.

The problem lies with the music execs who don't promote the uplifting songs that ALL artist make. Don't blame the artist blame the person signing their checks!

FUCK AL SHARPTON!!!!!!!!!

[scorpionJB]

the reason I say he ran the greatest presidential campaign ever, because he stated the issues w/out any compromise, but did so w/the goal of expanding the awareness of civil rights that should be extended to every citizen...during his debates or whenever he appeared on tv news shows, he was telling so much truth about this nation's contradictions, they would purposely omit his participation, even going so far as cutting his mic off so audiences weren't able to hear him...that's real..

[scorpionJB]

REV. AL SHARPTON....I have to say, the way he's portrayed by the media and even by some black people has no ground whatsoever...people say he's a racemonger, a race baitor, but this man has mature and evolved to become this nation's most prominent civil rights activist bar none..back in 2004, he ran the greatest presidential campaign I've ever seen, even though he knew he wasn't going to win

[swordoffire7]

Blackpeople can't learn from their past,,,,Blackpeople don't know their past....all a blackman knows is what the cracka did to him 100 or 200 yrs ago,,,,thats incomplete,,,and with incomplete knowledge and no will to get it right you'll have an incomplete solution and no way to make it right......Blackman YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!! and so you remain a slave,,,Until your man enough to Tell your woman to shut the Fuck up and Listen to something you may not want to hear

[Tetzukai]

"Blackpeople can't learn from their past,,,,Blackpeople don't know their past"

Some...

[Redjavaad]

Mashallah. The man speaks the truth.

[BlackRadical001]

kill the white man

[kaker69]

he said "cotton picking nigger" first, now i can say it too.

still aiting for him to start on about the dave chapelle frontlinbe sketch

[chooky42]

he speaks of learning fromthe past and there is a macdonalds syombol in the background which proves that we havent learnt anything at all

[kimsfishface]

JUST BECAuse you have rev. in front of your name, go to church, set on a church pew,sing songs, and call yourself a chrisian doesn't make you a christian. Judas judas judas.

[draethegreat]

then the next thing far-right wingers are puting that black don't take care of themselves, use the gov and have bad leaders that pretty much what i got from them the thing is the reason for these events and why these "black leader" are comining together is for blacks too "Learning from our past..." looking at what we are doing wrong so now yall not only racists but racist hypocrites

[draethegreat]

someone put whites have done more for blacks than anyone in history if you think like that you really saying that whites are superior to other people which is racist than on top of that white people was the least helpful to blacks all whites did was correct their own racism! some other guy put its your own race that are violent, just look at where you came from. Africa, and total waste of space, time, and money but he don't think he is racist but yes there was always few non-racist that did help

[smokybrick]

Some of my ancestors died in battle so this guy could say what he is saying. He needs to give me credit and all who fought to bring freedom to the blacks. Fair is fair. I do wish he didnt use the N word.

[clwilu94]

Yo,Al you NEVER suffered!Are you SERIOUS!Abe Lincoln Is the reason for your freedom!!!yOU AND jESSE HAVE DONE nothing,NOTHING for Blacks!White people have done more for blacks than anyone in history!Keep stealing your Black money you RACIST bastard!!

[Firedogg301]

You are partly right but, Whites have done more TO blacks than anyone in history. One other thing, you have to have POWER over someone or people to be a Racist otherwise your just a prejudice asshole, there's a difference. Keep your mouth shut otherwise people will see your ignorance!

[noslits25]

Al reminds me that evolution is indeed selective.

[wrldgornd]

Al is THE MAN and all the violent, venom spewing haters don't matter - we know it's about action, not talk.

[ninethirtytwo]

And by that you mean "whiiite foks" right BRAAA?? Man it's your own race that are violent, just look at where you came from. Africa, and total waste of space, time, and money. Question: how great would the US be if there were no "braaass" and "braaa-etts" and no latino, mexican, or other roaches??? Really, step back and think... I mean the Asians, Indians, and so on take care of themselves! How many Asians do you see with handicap hangers in on their rearview mirror while driving an Escalade??

[wrldgornd]

You're just a propped up, coddled, deluded genetic neanderthal who's without facts and has it all assbackwards. You're laughably ignorant. Africa is the cradle of civilization. The Kingdom of Cush predates the Egyptians (who copied Cush's pyramids), Mali has castles as old as Europes. You must be ignorant of the people drain + King Leopold of Belgium deal of 1876.

It's good idea to ask 'why?' when trying to understand anything, genetic neaderthal.

[typevx]

lincoln, kennedy and johnson "accomodated" these historic events..? ha, it seems whatever we do white people can't get any credit for helping the black people... I used to sympathize with black people when I was younger but as time went on I realized more and more they didn't appreciate my help, they EXPECTED it, like I owed them. I straighten out one thing right now: I don't owe ANYBODY shit! I didn't do ANYTHING bad to anybody white black or whatever!!

[pookiebear97]

Oh, poor baby:(

[gemini2476]

funny how you want credit for helping and don't want to take credit for hurting!

[Weissmenchland]

The animals at the zoo, the animals at the zoo, monkee see monkee do, the animals at the zoo.

[Tobes500]

Sharpton's worry now is if he is going to get put in lockup with a big buck that want to call him "Alice"

They are finally looking into his corrupt finances and his front companies.

Of course he is saying it is because he is a race huslter I mean advocate.

[Biafrans7]

I am a Biafran and must commend Sharpton's wisdom and inspiration. These are a people who emerged from the cradle of humanity and civilization that was later plundered and devastated by outsiders for centuries. It is our collective duty to live up to expectations in love and sacrifice to one another and to humanity.

[scj16]

Perfect! Exactly how I wanted to say it!

[markdavis05]

"I dont think its our obligation..."

Ya his only obligation is to bitch for free money, get whites fired and terrorize America. Fucking nigger animals

[ninethirtytwo]

Amen, as the "rev" would put it. He knows what he's doing... One question though, if he's a true coon, why does he wear his hair like "whiiite foks" doooo??? Watermelon eatin' bastard!

[wrldgornd]

Eat your heart out, you devoid-of-melanin, wet-dog-smelling, recessive gene-carrying, palsey-afflicted punk.

[agoyeh]

It is said by the FBI, that Sharpton was a snitch for the FBI, for the white man every black man look a like but a Hair doo do make a difference in the hood "got it?". Don't shoot that Nigger with the hair doo he is our snitch "got it?"

[letmetalk2u]

I love Al! He's one of the most honest, insightful and couragous American public figures. I'm so grateful that he has the courage and integrity to fight for justice when so few will.

[achalneupane]

welcome to america.

NAPPY HEADED HO

[5116alpro]

"we gotta quit giving the wrong people credit for our history" were his last words. What credit is assigned to the "brothers" in Africa that rounded up thier kinsmen and sold them into slavery?

[stopracismnow]

You are the racist, the same as the "White" racists of the past. You are one and the same. Just because you changed colors does not mean you are different. I'm not racist, so I hold you as responsible, for your racist deeds, as any "White" person. The only group I label you as is "racist". You are an inbred, hillbilly, black-trash, racist fool, just as your KKK brothers are.

[kalacoinc]

the truth.
