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

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

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.

@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 - 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 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 - 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 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.

[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

[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
