AL SHARPTON TALKS BEING ANGRY AT HIS FATHER FOR LEAVING HIS FAMILY FOR HIS OLDER, HALF SISTER

This Sunday, Oprah is sitting down with the renowned Al Sharpton to discuss how his work as a Civil Rights leader has changed over the years, why he made the decision to get healthy and his beginnings as a preacher. Stuff we probably already knew or wouldn’t be too surprised to learn about Al Sharpton. But in a surprising revelation, Sharpton talks about the moment that changed his life: his father leaving his family, taking Sharpton’s older, half sister with him and having a child with her. Yes, you read that correctly. And yes it was a complete a hot mess.

Al is out of race cards, so now he has opened a new deck of Victim Cards and is starting to play them.

He must be needing some quick cash

If,,,,any “liberal” ever asks what one thinks of al sharpton...one can now say....”he grew up a fatherless punk criminal..just like the people to whom he offers Post Mortem Support!”

That female who is his "personal professional" is very expensive maintenance is my guess.

She keeps him drained.

You want to make some nice money? Start your own tax exempt church, synagogue etc. I even see Buddhist churches listed as tax exempt. Run it as a business. I read that lots of black churches are the property of the preacher and he runs it as a tax exempt business. IOW there are dollars to be made to support you and family in a comfy (TAX_EXEMPT) lifestyle

Restoring the importance of fathers and fatherhood in the Black community would go a long way into resolving their social pathologies that have been manifest for over a half-century.

Except Barry came from a dysfunctional home himself. He likely looked for a father and found it in the form of dysfunctional communist/radicals and or older homosexual men?
The older commie/radical and or homos always seek out young impressionable and fatherless men for indoctrination.

So, Barry’s perceptions were screwed up from a early age.

Exactly so. It’s why you’d think he’d want young Blacks (especially Black males) to have a father in their lives. But as Booker T. Washington pointed out, it doesn’t serve those leftists profiting from the dysfunction to try to put an end to it. That’s why Zero, Jackson, Sharpton, et al, will never address it.

Yep, Jesse Jackson. Reminds me, he is personally part of the problem. He got a girl pregnant. Reportedly was paying child support, but, paying money is never a substitute for being a positive presence in your child’s life.

It’s no small wonder that Barry and Al ended up on the same page...and in close contact.

if ever there were any Birds Of a Feather...they most certainly are!

Perhaps its just as well that the street punk THUGS who Sharpton CHampions dont know about his background...

I believe that you’re thinking of a different story. The recent one actually has a father and his son getting “married”. No adoption was involved since the bride/groom (who can tell) was born the son of the groom/bride.
