To Al Sharpton, his Race Card has been more valuable than a mint condition T206 Honus Wagner.

If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck, and quacks like a duck - it’s Al Sharpton.

Coming from the “horse’s mouth”.

Comparing Al Sharpton to even the horse's other end is an insult to that part of the horse.

So is he saying the person in the video isn’t the Brown thug,or that the video is a fake?Or is he just offended that the video blows his chances to extort some money?

Gee,IIRC America was on trial in the Duke LaCross case and with Saint Trayvon.But in time we learned much about the central characters of those cases.And neither of them fared well under closer scrutiny.Something tells me that the same will prove true of the not-so-gentle giant.

Al, you were on trial and found guilty. “Reverend” Al, what church do you pastor? And what book do you believe in? The Bible or the book named the Koran?

“There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do do not want to lose their jobs.” - – Booker T. Washington circa 1901

So, let him dream... what would make Al completely satisfied?

Release unprotected Darren Wilson at the start of "curfew" in the middle of town?

Remove the current meager business protection completely to allow the stores remaining shelves to be emptied?

Free swisher sweets to be provided to all residents (would be in addition to phones, EBT and condoms)?
