Sharpton Fires Back At O’Reilly: Since When Are You The ‘Expert On What African-Americans Want?’
Mediaite ^ | July 26, 2013 | Matt Wilstein

Posted on 07/27/2013 7:52:38 PM PDT by NotYourAverageDhimmi

MSNBC’s Al Sharpton took Bill O’Reilly’s recent comments about race head-on Friday evening, after the Fox anchor singled him out last night for being “in business with people who put out entertainment harmful to children.” Sharpton called it “ridiculous” that O’Reilly is somehow the “expert on what the vast majority of African-Americans want.”

“In the time since George Zimmerman’s acquittal,” Sharpton declared, “some right-wingers have gone into overdrive to push the most negative stereotypes of the African-American community for their own gain.” He lumped O’Reilly in with Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity as the “unholy triumvirate of right-wing reaction” that has “been desperate not to have a real conversation about the injustices of the justice system.”

Sharpton mocked O’Reilly and others for their sudden concern about gang violence in Chicago, something he said “many of us in African-American community” have been talking about for months. “Better late than never, I guess.” On O’Reilly’s focus on the breakdown of the African-American family, Sharpton asked, “Is Bill O’Reilly saying George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin because Trayvon was born out of wedlock, even though he wasn’t? That’s ridiculous, right?”

“All of this is an effort to avoid addressing the urgent topic that something is fundamentally flawed with our justice system if laws like Stand Your Ground allow a kid to be gunned down,” Sharpton continued. “But Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly don’t want to talk about that.”

Sarcastically calling O’Reilly the “expert on the vast majority of what African-Americans want,” Sharpton said, “we need a real conversation about justice in this country, not the same old right-wing divide and conquer garbage. Bill O’Reilly, the Willie Horton stuff has got to go.”

Al sharpton, looks around to see any white man he can use to steal money from. IF he cant make money off the white man, then cry racism as loud as you can till he can.

I think I could raise enough on the Interwebs to fly Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the next 23 most “successful” race-baiters back to Africa.

LOL! So Blacks have been killing themselves by the hundreds for years but, according to Sharpton, they're on top of things because they've been talking about Black-on-Black violence "for months".

Al, “wants” and “needs” are two different things, low life.

Sharpton declared...“unholy triumvirate"...

Somebody wrote that for him. He doesn't know what those words mean.

Very few in the media actually are versed in the art of debate. BOR should have shut this clown down in a microsecond by pointing out Sharpton’s lies, weasel rhetoric, personal attacks, and logical falsehoods. How Sharpton remains outside of prison is a mystery. No one will call him the reprehensible lying little toadstool and career shit-stirrer he really is.

Thanks for this thread.

________

” - - - what African-Americans want - - - - “

Thanks, Rev. Al. This confirms that your politics are still stuck back in the disastrous Plantation System: “What is THE MAN going to give ME?”

Rev. Al:

* Why not look at the facts of Black on Black murder (93%)?
* Why not use YOUR Leadership to discover the major common denominators for this violence?
* Why not work to reduce the problem without ANY help from THE MAN at BIIG HOUSE at 1600 Plantation Avenue, District of Corruption?

BTW, Rev. Al, what would Jesus do?

I wish Al would spend some time preaching about his mentoring of Tawana Brawley and, later, the Korean Dry Cleaner who he managed to get killed by a gang he ginned up.

He’s not a leader, he’s a homicidal, ego-driven (_o_)

the Willie Horton stuff has got to go.”

Why did a Democratic candidate ever use such offensive material against his Democratic opponent in the first place? Oh, yeah. For liberals the ends justify the means.

Sounds like Ted Baxter actually got under al’s skin.

I remember my mother saying, “ The bit dog always yelps.”

Sounds to me like al’s yelping.

Black Americans love Jesus. Why are y’all still supporting these race pimps and liberal white communists? Come home to conservatism!

Typical. Accuse whites of not wanting to discuss the “issue”, while simultaneously accusing them of not being capable of discussing the “issue” because they’re not black and can’t possibly understand anything having to do with the “issue”.

Al’s just trying to wrap Bill up like in a boxing match so Bill has to deal with this has was hanging on him before he can step back and land another big one.

Bill, ignore Al and restate the facts then go get some more facts and state those. ...or cower.
