Truth in Pictures: Al Sharpton and Tawana Brawley, 28 years later
Coach is Right ^ | 7/15/15 | Doug Book

The Reverend Al Sharpton has insinuated himself into any number of for-TV fabrications, Crown Heights, for example and the Ferguson riots, touched off by groups of thugs sent into Missouri by Uncle Al in response to the shooting death of harmless, Teddy Bear Michael Brown.

But Sharpton will forever be best remembered for taking up the cause of Tawana Brawley, the 15 year old reprobate who accused several white men of having abducted and raped her, all because she needed an excuse for being out very late with her boyfriend.

It was in November of 1987 that the 15 year old Brawley was found inside a plastic bag, “curled in the fetal position,” covered with feces, the words “n*gger” and “b*tch” written on her and KKK carved into her shoe. Three white men were accused of the attack.

Into the picture strode Tawana Brawley’s self-styled advisers, New York City Black Activists, attorneys Alton Maddox and C. Vernon Mason and the Reverend Al Sharpton. “We’re gonna expose the facts in these crimes that you do to Black people,” exclaimed Sharpton to salivating, guilt ridden, white members of the national press corps.

But one year later, in October of 1988, the Grand Jury decided that Brawley’s story was a hoax. The Jury also implied that...

Yeah, she changed her name and moved to Virginia because she is so committed to getting the truth out about her story.

Meanwhile, Reverend Al has MSNBC over a barrel. So it’s not all bad.

Once again, Al is no more a “Reverend” than I am. Neither he nor Jesse ever finished divinity school, had a church, or had a congregation. Al was “ordained” at age 10 by a DC preacher and he has perpetuated the lie ever since. Both men are a disgrace and would not have a job if they didn’t keep stirring the racial pot. They are parasites and should be be ignored by Man and history.

I would LOVE to see some intrepid person, sitting in a roundtable setting with Sharpton, confine their every response to two shouted words: “TAWANA BRAWLEY!”

I was wondering where Tawana is now.

From the same article:

Some months later, a judge awarded Pagones $185,000 from Tawana Brawley who, it was discovered, had moved out of New York, changing her name and Social Security number. She was finally located in 2013, working at a nursing home in Richmond, Va. A nurse who goes by the name of Tawana V. Thompson Gutierrez, Brawley now owes Pagones $431,492. Her wages have been garnished by court order.

But the media have decided that these two are spokesmen for black America.

Begs the question of how the media decided to anoint them as spokesmen for black America.
