Al Sharpton is being paid thousands of dollars to not cry 'racism' at large corporations, it is claimed

**SNIP**

For more than 10 years, firms have reportedly handed over enormous donations and consulting fees to the activist preacher's National Action Network (NAN)

In return for their cash, they have received Sharpton's supposed influence in the black community - or more often, his silence on the matter, it is reported.

'Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with him,' said Ken Boehm, chairman of the National Legal & Policy Center, a watchdog group in Virginia that has produced a book on the Harlem minister.

This is Je$$e Jack$on extortion. All it takes to stop it is a tax audit which won't happen with the Racist In Chief in the Black House.

What about knowingly paying a bribe to a tax cheat?

This is news? Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have been doing this for decades.

They should have called a meeting with Sharpton in a state where it is legal for one party to record a conversation without the other party’s knowledge. Then carried on a negotiation in which Sharpton was explicit that he was blackmailing them. Then splash the video everywhere.

But businessmen never do such things. They just pay up.

Is’t this the same Al Sharpton that has visited the current occupant at the White House reportedly 84 times?

I agree.
Some cry “treason” but like porn, treason is in the eye of the beholder. Conversely, as you point out, sedition is more plainly defined. And Al is far from being alone in fitting the definition.

MSNBC’s Harris-Perry: NYPD Silent Protest Undermines Civilian Control of Police

VIDEO

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/01/03/msnbcs-harris-perry-nypd-silent-protest-undermines-civilian-control-of-police/

Some good comments at the website:

“This human scarecrow forgets that it is the constant, un-substantiated by fact criticism, of the police that got us to this point. The progressive media has blood on its hands, again.”

The silver lining to Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton wlaking free and inciting riots is that he warns even the most idealistic whites of the dangers posed to them by blacks.
