Oh I’m sure Al is training a new generation of racebaiters and hustlers. As long as racebaiting continues to be successful there will always be the Al Sharptons of the world.

How does one boycott the Oscars?

Black entertainers don't go to the Oscar ceremony and don't perform there. Show whitey you mean it.
