Why hasn’t he raised the dreaded automobile color discrimination issue? He forgot about all those white cars out there. Too many white cars. Not enough black cars!!!

>> “the higher you get, the whiter it gets,” Sharpton quipped

Al Sharpton finally explains himself in a way that makes sense to me.

Put down the bong, Al. You’ll thank me later.

>> I’m having a hard time figuring out who to root for / against.

I’m hoping that while Al is out in Hollywood shaking down movie moguls, the NoKo nuke will hit, destroying it and them at the same time. Win-win!
