Sharpton: Trump ‘playing race-divisive card,’ as Steele invites prez to ‘come on down’ to Baltimore
The Baltimore Sun ^ | July 29, 2019 | Pamela Wood

Activist and media personality the Rev. Al Sharpton criticized President Donald Trump, who has posted multiple tweets bashing Baltimore and U.S. Rep. Elijah Cummings, while attending an home ownership event Monday at a city church.

“He has a particular venom for blacks and people of color," Sharpton said of Trump, speaking outside New Shiloh Baptist Church in West Baltimore. He stood in front of a banner bearing the logo of his National Action Network and the slogan “No Justice, No Peace.” “He is playing a race-divisive card," Sharpton said of the president. "We are here to talk about how we build together and get something done.”

Sharpton: Trump ‘playing race-divisive card,’

—Not fair. Only Sharpton is allowed to play the “race-divisive card”.

Just waiting for Trump to point out that Sharpton was just the kind of person Booker T. Washington was talking about...
There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

How about more than 50 years!

LBJ’s and the Democrats’ War on Poverty has destroyed every city, which was sold into the WOP by the democrat leaders in every city.

This War on Poverty was a new form of economic Slavery of black Americans living in the big cities, by the democrats.

The politicians in control of these cities have gotten rich while their cities became rat infested $hitholes with increased poverty for the citizens in these cities.

The War on Poverty Wasn’t A Failure — It Was A Catastrophe

I apply unconventional logic to economic issues.

Has the War on Poverty been a failure? Well, of course it has. If you devote 50 years and $21.5 trillion (in 4Q2013 dollars) to anything, and people are arguing about whether it was a success or a failure, then you can be sure that it was a failure.

Have you noticed that, 50+ years from its inception, no one is suggesting that the Apollo program was a failure? The Apollo program was an unchallenged success because it accomplished its stated goal: “…to land a man on the moon, and to return him safely to the earth.”

The stated goal of the War on Poverty, as enunciated by Lyndon Johnson on January 8, 1964, was, “…not only to relieve the symptom of poverty, but to cure it and, above all, to prevent it.” Measured against this objective, the War on Poverty has not just been a failure, it has been a catastrophe. It was supposed to help America’s poor become self-sufficient, and it has made them dependent and dysfunctional.


Excerpted, for full oped go to the link below:

Now, the faithful inner city voters for Democrat mayors, governors and congre$$its for decades are being abandoned as the illegals are now the #1 priority to the Democrats!

How many of these big cities are now Sanctuary City’s with open arms and money for every illegal in these cities.

No, Steele, The Prez isn’t going to waste his time following some gerrymandered Potemkin Village drive-thru. I’ve been to Ballmer many, many times. I still have family there. Even the most upscale places are getting flooded by vermin of both the human and rodent kind. It’s a damn shame that the ones most responsible for it want to play the race card to deflect blame.

Al Sharpton is responsible for more deaths than Charles Manson.

And that isn't hyperbole.

"Al Sharpton is responsible for more deaths than Charles Manson."

Maybe Al needs a swastika carved into his forehead.

I believe strongly in the concept of self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe you will fail, you’ll find a way to make that happen. If you believe you will succeed, you will find a way to make that happen. It doesn’t always work this way, but it does often enough that it is important we believe in ourselves and our abilities to define our own lives. When those who want to benefit from your misery tell you that you need THEM to save you, run the other way as fast as you can.
