Sharpton on Trump’s Remarks at Black Church: ‘Insult to Our Intelligence’

Al Sharpton wasn’t all that impressed by Donald Trump‘s black outreach efforts with a visit to a Detroit church today. He said on MSNBC this afternoon that Trump “blew an opportunity” to lay out a clear vision of his agenda for the black community in an ideal forum for that.

And with Trump talking about communities learning from each other, Sharpton said, “Harlem is on the same island as Trump Tower. What have you gone up there and learned?”

“It’s an insult to our intelligence,” Sharpton said, “to come to us acting as if just saying that we should all come together… is going to bridge that gap.”

It's interesting that the good "Reverend" doesn't see the irony in his own statement; he's assuming that he's intelligent.

Hey AL...IT’s real church led by Bishops and Pastors in a real building where the congregation contributes tithes and offerings which pay the salaries of the staff...not a shyster flim flam operation sucking the life out of the black community like you do. Consider that a prophetic word from a Pastor here with 44 years experience. And Do REPENT Al before you stand before your Maker!

I hope the blacks understand only they can help themselves. Trump is only going to provide the atmosphere where they will have the opportunity to help themselves.

Better economy, get rid of large amounts of illegals, leaving more jobs for blacks, if they want them, cut back drugs from Mexico, etc.

“So (if) some cracker come and tell you ‘Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,’ you better hold your pocket. That ain’t nothing to be proud of. That means their forefathers was crooks.” - Sharpton

Yep, that be some "sharp" intelligence, alright...

The conversation has to start somewhere Al. Go back to Harlem with your bitter envy. Don’t be shocked when Donald Trump pops up there too. He is bold enough to do it. People of all colors are beginning to listen. While Hillary timidly hides, The Donald respectfully confronts.

There already was a thread on this last night.
BTW, have you seen on twitter Trump holding Sharpton’s hand with both of his as Al leans over from behind a seated Trump who also has Jesse Jackson sitting next to him???

Bingo! This punk Sharpton has done absolutely nothing in his 30+ years in the media spotlight but flame race relations for profit.

No matter what Trump said, or did, it would have been discounted by Al “Wholly-Owned-by-the-Democrat-Party” Sharpton; so I don’t know why anyone is even paying attention to his comments.

I’ve seen the pic, but that was before Trump dared to cross into politics. Now he’s raciss.

Exactly. Trump has done a lot of good as a private citizen but the democrat politicians have not used all the tax money and power they have to help black people. No school choice, no job opportunities, nothing.

People should just consider the source.
Sharpten is in the business of fanning the flames of the racism industry.
He is a race pimp and so is Obama.
The American people are tired of division in this country.

I remember after the contract with America and the GOP win in 1994 Newt screwed the conservative Negros by meeting with Jesse Jackson. He should have bypass the race pimps and go direct to the people who support them only and giving the legitimacy. Hope that Donald don’t make that mistake.

Al Sharpton is an insult to intelligence itself.

I think Trump’s IRS needs to pay this man a visit on January 21, 2017.

Such a great strategy. It will peel off some blacks. What it will REALLY do is show a lot of whites that hell no, he’s not a raciss, it’s safe to vote for him. Just like that meeting with Mexico’s President showed he’s not against Mexico or Hispanics per se.
