Al Sharpton Draws Fire From Allen West on Zimmerman Protests
Sunshine State News ^ | July 19, 2013 | Kevin Derby

Posted on 07/19/2013 7:40:13 AM PDT by kevcol

The former congressman quoted the words of civil rights leader Booker T. Washington."There is a class of colored 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."

West then took direct aim at Sharpton. “I watch the destruction of the black community in America, I have had it with the politics of race baiters who use iambic pentameter sing-song speech to anesthetize blacks from the reality of their demise,” West wrote.

There are Black People and there are-—N-well I cannot say it.................................I believe we all had black friends that said the same thing, when referring to the uneducated and lazy portion of of their population.

This vet absolutely LOVES LTC West. Pair him up with Ted Cruz and America will be saved.

The NAACP was founded in 1909.

Booker T. Washington made this statement in 1911.

As the old adage goes:

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.”

I believe you have nailed it....but why has Fox fallen for this ruse? Almost 24/7 re-hash of that trial...while Ambassador Patterson following orders from de facto president Jarrett, a Muslim sympathizer especially the Muslim Brotherhood...Patterson meddles way beyond her job description. Sharpton, Jackson and the like have gotten their pound of flesh but Holder isn’t finished yet...Holder answers to Jarrett also...spent his earlier legal career defending Muslim terrorists.

West is a leader. He needs to be a governor, not a legislator, so I hope he is seriously considering running against Scott.

It appears that Al’s race-baiting has paid off in another way as well.
He appeared to have a real hottie on his arm this week.

Al Sharpton (58) and current girlfriend Aisha McShaw (35)

I pray Allen West takes little Marco’s senate seat away from him next term.

I am wondering what’s going on behind the curtain in the Middle East-Egypt, Syria, etc, -with the gang that couldn’t shoot straight in the White House, while the rest of us are still focussed on Zimmerman.

Please read this article from the December 1955 issue of American Heritage magazine:

The Washed Window

The writer, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, was a social reformer (I don't think she'd recognize the 'left' today) who wrote some very good books (Understood Betsy is a children's classic and it hits the same theme of courage and self-reliance as this story).

But you'll have to read the article to see how this ties in to this thread. It is WELL worth the read, because it explains to a "T" Washington's philosophy and the difference between his "work and earn it" teachings and the "grievance, agitate and demand" philosophy of W.E.B. DuBois and his spiritual children over at the NAACP.

I have noted quite a few people have said that they have lost “black people” former friends over this Zimmerman/Traythug fiascao. Which makes Allen West one in a million even amongst “black people”.

From that article: "She told The News that she works as a “personal stylist,” but Sharpton quickly shuffled her off without letting her elaborate on her profession."

That's because she is a paid employee of his race baiting group. Same group which owes almost $1m to the IRS in back taxes.

I would pay five bucks to hear 3.0 GPA Jentael whatshername repeat that sentence three time in a row.

I know, I know, that’s Old School, not New School.
