what would Martin Do....or...

l Sharpton held a holiday breakfast for 300 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., where the goal was not so much to remember the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as to pull his teachings into the moment. “What would he have done?” Sharpton asked, as the crowd watched a video that combined some of King’s greatest speeches with recent footage of protests in Washington and Ferguson, Mo.
Two members of President Obama’s Cabinet spoke about the importance of health care and low-income housing, but the crowd’s ovation was loudest when Sharpton showed a slideshow that included photos of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown — all unarmed black men who were killed in confrontations. Martin was shot in Florida in 2012 by a member of a neighborhood watch. Garner died last summer after being placed in a chokehold by a police officer in Staten Island, and Brown was shot by a police officer in Ferguson in August.
“We have to keep these issues in front until we resolve this,” Sharpton said. “We are in another pivotal moment, and we will be judged by how we respond now.”

MLK would have told you to STFU Al.
The real question is whether King, if he was alive today, would have marched in a jogging suit and gold chains with a bouffant hair style.
He would not have become a money-grubbing race huckster like you al.
or blown a lot of coke....or cheated the IRS out of 4 million bucks....and inspired deadly riots and killing JOOS...among other things.
Al thinks we’re all.... as dumb as the people who adore him.
Would have shown you down the road you racist hate baiter!
I disagree. I believe King would have ended up the same way as Charlaton and Jackass.
We all wonder what Dr. Martin Luther King would have done. I suspect that he would be appalled at the direction his people have traveled in terms of fatherless children out of wedlock, crime statistics, the entitlement mentality, lack of faith, joblessness, abortion, drug use, and unjustified demands for more freebees.
Today's volatile race relationships are the opposite of his dream of judging people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. The wrong direction was catalyzed by government entitlement programs.
The courageous Dr. Martin Luther King would be crying in despair at what his people have done to themselves in their abject failure to implement his dream. We applaud King for his dream.
Each black man killed was a fearless thug on drugs mindlessly confronting armed law enforcers. Why?
Post Haste!!
following inate evil inclinations..which by “community standards” ...THIER “community standards” are just fine
what he WOULD NOT have done is whore himself out on MSNBC and shake companies down for money. Revrunt Al is a disgraceful lying scumbag.
He would have loitered on a balcony with a bullseye taped to his chest.
Good guess is that Sharpton praises MLK publically but despises and resents him privately.
If King were alive today and commenting on black culture and protests, Al Sharpton and friends would be shouting him down as an Uncle Tom. The only reason they revere him today is because he can’t speak for himself anymore.
King wouldn’t have attended the breakfast.
he would not have claomed the Tawana Brawey Had been raped...knowing it was a LIE.
he would not have inspired the brining Of Freddies Fashion Mart...In NYC
he would not have agreed with any of the RIOTING and plunder thats occurred in the USA recently
in other words...[ although he was no saint ] he was not the slimey despicable CRIMINAL LOUT that Revrunt Sharpton is.
Sharpton IS Mister Resentment!!
