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.

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 who are still fighting to to afford blacks education, break the death-grip of the Democrats' Poverty Industry chains (welfare) off their ankles, and stop the black genocide / infanticide.

The fact that you stroll up, in here, & suppose 2 lecture Black folk about developing a strong work ethnic speaks volumes regarding ur profound ignorance, in terms of the history & character of American-born Africans, as well, as ur simple-minded adherence 2 racist, anti-Black, stereotypes. In the future, I'd suggest u excercise some hard work urself & lose that paternalistic arrogance that seems 2 plague those infected w/ a White Supremacist mindset. In short, get some damn home training!

I see what Al is saying but the difference to me would be in how the child is raised yes?

Let's stop dividing by race. God created man and woman one time in the beginning and we took it from there by being fruitful and spreading our seed. He did not divide us out by race, mankind has done that through census reports due to fear, distrust and stupidity. They looked and saw visual differences between people in certain geographic areas and made columns called black, white, asian, hispanic. We are the same at the core. We need God, love and each other to make it.

I think it would be very appropriate to address the question of how 'black America' is going to 'close the gap' instead of what all people or government must do to narrow the divide. Government softening of the harsh realities of hard work and persistence as the primary route to success in America actually delays the progress of a people.

Where's my comment posted 2 days ago? Only comments that are favorable to Sharpton's view are allowed? Nice. Transformational conversation really starts when two sides are presented.

I grew up around racists. I hated them. It's a matter of anyone's character and decency, to begin with.
