New York City Rev. Al Sharpton has a dilemma: He wants to be president of the United States - but he doesn't seem to like the U.S. very much.
Speaking to the "State of the Black World" convention in Atlanta on Saturday, he proclaimed:
"While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that. We don't owe America anything - America owes us."
Earlier in the day Sharpton restated in no uncertain terms his intention to seek the White House.
"Clearly I am saying that (being president) is an ambition that I have and I am not going to back away from that," he told the New York Post.
"If I decide to run, I'd be running to win."
The firebrand Rev. did not say whether there'd be room for "the flag of Americana" in any Sharpton administration.

what is "the flag of Americana"?
To: areafiftyone
America owes Sharpton a swift kick in the A$$ and a one way ticket to any African country of his choice. You are not entitled. You are not worthy. And your mama is about the only person that thinks you are cute. GET OVER IT PORK CHOP!

If we owe them, let them come and collect.

Since September 11th many good things have happened in this country. Not hearing anything about Sharpton until this story has been one of them.

A bit of Scripture for you, "Reverend"...Exodus, Chapter 20, verse 15: "Thou shalt not steal". That is EXACTLY what you are doing to the American taxpaper and consumer EVERY TIME you and your cronies like Jesse Jackson EXTORT money from the pockets of others in the name of some perceived "crime" against you and "your followers". You are nothing but a commom thief, Al, and you WILL be held accountable for your crimes when you stand before G-d on your Day of Judgment. Make sure you wear one of your linen suits on that Day, Al...it's going to be a WARM one.

I hope the guy does run. He will take away a lot of the black vote from the Democrats.

"While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that. We don't owe America anything - America owes us." "We are not part of that"??! You mean the "we" whose fat a$$ the redblooded godfearing taxpayers of the U.S. of A. have been supporting all these years? WTF??! Forget your meds today, grease-ball? I can't believe this piece of trash actually expects folks to vote for him. Of course he'll get the brain-washees and the minority-pity-vote, but anyone with any sense of reason whatsoever can see him for what he is... A pustulent pimple on the face of America.

"While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that. We don't owe America anything - America owes us." I would like him to say that to the thousands of Black Americans in the Armed Services. They love this country as much as anybody and love the American flag. The man is delusional!

"'While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that. We don't owe America anything - America owes us.'"
Seems I recall of version of this sort of this vulger, racist diatribe...
"WE DIDN'T LAND ON PLYMOUTH ROCK!! PLYMOUTH ROCK LANDED ON US!"
Of course, the brothers murdered the person responsible for that statement; in the end.
...it'd be good to remember that, Al. ;^)

Send him to Sudan. ROTFLMAO! !
I would bet nobody would buy him. We would probably have to PAY THEM for them to take him off our hands! ;-)
PS: And it'd worth every penny, too! LOL!

Rev. Al Sharpton, a mind is a terrible thing to waste.
