Sharpton only gets involved in race protests if there is potential money to be made.

Booker T Washington foresaw guys like this a hundred years ago:

"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."

WOW! Is that an actual quote? Holy smoke, that is Sharpton to absolute tee, absolute perfect description, incredible. Booker T. was one smart cookie, I believe he was even born a slave which shows how far one can go instead of complaining and blaming all the time.

I tell you, I just *know* Sharpton is doing this for Obama, I just know it, it’s obvious as hell - I just would like to know what Obama promised him. I know Sharpton is having trouble with the IRS so it would not surprise me in the least if that “problem” suddenly disappears.

Two years ago it was reported he owed $2.6 MILLION in taxes, and I know there is no way in hell he has paid that off.
