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.”

An excellent idea❗ . . . to quote MLK himself. He said men should be judged on their character and not their race, creed or religious beliefs. That is what the Constitution prescribes.

The political party that fought the Constitution and equality in 1861 is the same political party fighting that same way today: Demo'🐀s. They continue to fire on Fort Sumter💥

History will be much kinder to Martin Luther King than it will to Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and a bunch of greedy carpetbagger politicians.

Why would anyone listen to this evil person?

All citizens have the same set of rights under our Constitution.

It’s a simple concept.
