Race Grifter Al Sharpton Demands Black Boycott of Companies Scrapping DEI — Then Compares His Struggle to MLK and Rosa Parks

The notorious race grifter Al Sharpton is not happy about the scrapping of DEI programs.

Numerous companies, most notably Facebook and Amazon, have scaled back or scrapped their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives in the wake of Donald Trump’s return to the White House.

However, Sharpton believes that doing so amounts to a major civil rights violations and that his role fighting back is as important as that of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks.

“Why do we have DEl? We have DEl because you denied us diversity, you denied us equity, you denied us inclusion,” Sharpton said at the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington D.C. on Tuesday.

“DEl was a remedy to the racial institutionalized bigotry practice in academia and in these corporations.”

”Now, if you want to put us back in the back of the bus, we gonna do the Dr. King-Rosa Parks on you,” he continued.

In a press release posted on social media, Sharpton said his non-profit, National Action Network, will form a council with a view to boycotting said companies.

“NAN and its allies form a council that over the next 90 days will examine what companies have shirked on their DEl commitments, as well as their profit margins,” he wrote.

“Two companies will then be subjected this spring to a boycott by Black Americans, whom McKinsey estimates will have a collective buying power of $1.7 trillion by 2030.”

It is always a temptation to the PC industry in any nation
To call upon a company and to say: —
“We protested you last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for DEI-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the DEI-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Sharpton!

There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don’t want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.

Hey, Al. You have your people boycott companies that don't have a DEI program, and the rest of us will boycott companies that DO have a DEI program. Let's give it a year, and see which companies fold.

I like these quotes

The word 'racism' is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything - and demanding evidence makes you a 'racist.' Thomas Sowell

The sad and tragic fact is that the civil rights movement, despite its honorable and courageous past, has over the years degenerated into a demagogic hustle, promoting the mindless racism they once fought against. Thomas Sowell

Racism is not dead, but it is on life support -- kept alive by politicians, race hustlers and people who get a sense of superiority by denouncing others as 'racists' Thomas Sowell

Here is the letter I send annually to about 40 papers and commentators.

MLK: A Dream of Liberty for All

Dr. Martin Luther King declared personal liberties as key to personal sovereignty and prosperity by saying,” When the architects of our Republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men- yes black men as well as white men-would be guaranteed unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…..So we’ve come to cash this check; a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.”

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up, live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’ I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”

“This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning. ‘My country, ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.”

Americans are individuals whose primary identity resides in pre-existing, natural, intangible liberties, and only secondarily in ethnicity, gender, or race. Dr. King asserted the philosophical doctrines engrossed at founding placed all on the same metaphysical plain, made liberty the pathway to spiritual and material prosperity, and made us all brothers and sisters.

Doesn’t sound like a threat to me, more like an opportunity.

Praise God for all the black conservatives that know the truth and also want to be recognized for their merit.
