Is it me or does Al always look 2D in photos?

Religion
Sharpton was licensed and ordained a Pentecostal minister by Bishop F. D. Washington at the age of nine or ten. After Bishop Washington’s death in the late 1980s, Sharpton became a Baptist. He was re-baptized as a member of the Bethany Baptist Church in 1994 by the Reverend William Jones and became a Baptist minister.

'Al Sharpton was in Sears. He was there to protest the fact that most all of the washing machines were white.

So the clerk called the store manager, who asked, "What's the problem here, Reverend?"

The manager replied, "Well, Reverend, it's true most of the washing machines are white, but if you'll open the lids, you'll see that all of the agitators are black."

It’s Pumpkinhead Sharpton.

In the 80s he was known in the music industry as a hustler who would shake down labels for payoffs to not protest their companies (because of poor representation/employment of black staff). They’d pay and he’d just go away. So much for principle.

Where's the other half of him?

I can’t believe the ‘ol racist is only 60 years old...looks 70, but that could be the STD’s...
