People like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan are scumbag scam artist pieces of shit. People like them make money off of keeping racism alive because they know that Racism were to be completely gone for good, they'd would have no way of making money.

So I would like to say this. FUCK YOU Al Sharpton, fuck you in your nasty nappy mullet haired fucking ass!

EvelTwinOFSlogmaster,

It happens today: voter fraud, every time, in every election.

Mr. Sharpton is as dumb a as a white man:

"Why won't they stay in their place!"

Fundamentally, it is about, "YOU v. ME" , humanity, and its faults.

Mr. Sharpton like anyone else, when repeating talking points, leaves out phrases and words.

He means our current conservatively created state of affairs.

He who has can. Would you stay in a dump, if a billionaire?

Best wishes.

[EvelTwinOfSlogmaster]

@4u2b1ib12 Yeah, I just watched that. Telling people where they can and can't live, where they can and can't go to school. Being told they can't vote! Yes, those were good points...fifty years ago...

He also mentions staying in five star hotels and flying first class. But still bitches about whitey keeping him down. If what he's saying were true he wouldn't even be sitting there. He'd be working for minimum wage.

Every successful black person in this country proves him wrong.

[redhockey]

how can this guy blatantly lie about his racism like that? man im not black but if i heard this clown make a comment like that id have something to say to him i dont know why anyone listens to him

[Coochaide]

[4u2b1ib12]
