Let me see here. According to the history books, Civil Rights were won in the 60s with the signing of the Civil Rights Act pushed by Republicans and signed into law by Lyndon Baines Johnson. Al Sharpton now wants to secure his place in history as the Supreme Black Leader of our generation by going back to the past and creating a “New Civil Rights Movement?”
On December 13, 2014, Sharpton looks to lead yet another March on DC to correct police across the nation.
“We are not advocating violence, we are asking that police violence stop.” – Al Sharpton
I find this statement to be hollow. Not only does Sharpton have a history of destruction and violence in the wake of his prior public outcries, such as Freddie’s Fashion Mart, Tawanna Brawley and the Duke Lacrosse fiasco, His recent whipping of the media circus no doubt contributed to the violence and destruction in Ferguson. From another point of view, does Sharpton have a job? As a cleric, isn’t he supposed to help empower people and help them to learn love and forgiveness? Where is his flock? What congregation has he ever tended in the name of the Lord? He performs on the world stage using the title of Reverend to stir up controversy and hatred. He fancies himself one to be revered, and actually does little if anything to demonstrate the behavior of one who ought to be.
Sharpton was a great quasi-vaudevillian act when he would periodically appear on the "Morton Downey Jr. Show" decades ago. It was quite amusing watching the pseudo-civil rights leader engage in polemics on race with coiffed curly locks, a satin jumpsuit and a massive medallion hanging down from his neck. I always thought it was just theatrics on par with professional wrestling without the steroids and tights. Slicking back the hair, dropping a massive amount of weight, and wearing Armani suits cannot change that fact. It is still the same message of hate, oppression and systematic denial of basic rights that he peddles to the same constituency of poor black Americans who fill his coffers and rally around him.
Yet this man, often invited to the inner sanctum of the White House as of late, seems immune to the same level of accountability and responsibility that he would call out from others. A blatant tax evader who currently owes over $4M in back taxes puts himself out there to be admired and followed? Doesn’t it speak to a level of arrogance to believe that he is immune from what the rest of working Americans are required to do? And for those of you, who like to scream about the 1% not paying their share, look at who you just picked to lead you. He is so far removed from the struggle of the inner city black communities, I really can’t fathom why anyone thinks he functions a spokesperson. At best he is referencing his own experience as a young black man decades ago and how the world has changed.
Eventually, the curtain will fall and Sharpton will have to exit stage left. Whatever needs to be done to heal the racial divide requires the actions of mature adults and not those who would liken 2014 to the struggles of the 1960’s. We do not need marches and tired renditions of “We Shall Overcome” or slogans like “Hands Up Don’t Shoot”. The Black community needs real and difficult conversation about the culture that has evolved since the 1960’s in our inner city communities. We need to question how we let what was supposed to be a “hand up” becomes a way of life for many Black Americans in the inner city.
Instead of taking a hard look inside our communities, Al Sharpton has decided to take to the stage again and march on Washington. This time the rallying cry is police brutality and targeting of blacks by law enforcement. I would beg those of you inclined to follow his lead, please, look at the statistics from the FBI and other organizations. Look up real data and see that this is not the problem on a national scope that Mr. Sharpton and the Liberal media would have you believe. The problems in our communities will not be solved with marches and rallying cries. They will be solved with hard work, difficult conversation and changing the culture of our inner city communities. We need economic and community plans to help minorities of all races see the light at end of the tunnel and feel they can take control of their own destiny. This poverty pimp’s time is over.

He should be in jail for the least, tax evasion
LOL!
The same Neverteenth of Never as Charles Rangel's and Tim Geithner's.
The phoney reverends really want to be seen as a modern-day Martin Luther King. They’re not. They are scam artists, frauds, fakes.
The moment MKL was killed, jackson ran in to take his place. They are both frauds.
“Nice camelhair coat.

Brilliant!!
I was traveling between Jacksonville and Orange Park the other day when a tire blew out. Checking my spare, I found that it, too, was flat. My only option was to flag down a passing motorist and get a ride to Orange Park.
The first vehicle to stop was an old man in a van. He yelled out the window, "Need a lift?"
"Yes, I sure do," I replied.
"You a Republican or Democrat," asked the old man.
"Republican," I replied.
"Well, you can just go to Hell," yelled the old man as he sped off.
Another guy stopped, rolled down the window, and asked me the same question.
Again, I gave the same answer, "Republican."
The driver gave me the finger and drove off.
I thought it over and decided that maybe I should change my strategy, since this area seemed to be overly political and there appeared to be few Republicans. The next car to stop was a red convertible driven by a beautiful blonde. She smiled seductively and asked if I was a Republican or Democrat.
"Democrat!" I shouted.
"Hop in!" replied the blonde.
Driving down the road, I couldn't help but stare at the gorgeous woman in the seat next to me, the wind blowing through her hair, perfect breasts and a short skirt that continued to ride higher and higher up her thighs.
Finally, I yelled, "Please stop the car." She immediately slammed on the brakes and as soon as the car stopped, I jumped out.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
"I can't take it anymore," I replied. "I've only been a Democrat for five minutes and already I want to screw somebody."
I kept this one : )
Ha!!.....
Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Yadkin Ripple in Boonville, NC, and bought a mule for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said,"Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."
Curtis &Leroy replied,"Well, then just give us our money back."
The farmer said,"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."
The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"
Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked.
"What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"
They said,"We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.."
Leroy said,"Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998."
The farmer said,"My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"
Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."
Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.
They're overseeing the Bailout & Stimulus Programs.
