MSNBC’s Sharpton Condemns Mount Rushmore as ‘Love Letter to White Supremacy’
Newsbusters.org ^ | 7/6/2020 | Michael Dellanno

You want "divisive?" MSNBC is divisive. The vile Al Sharpton described President Trump’s speech at Mount Rushmore as a “love letter to white supremacy.” In Saturday night’s PoliticsNation, Sharpton smeared our Founding Fathers, as white supremacists, rather than courageous heroes that founded this great nation.

Sharpton even insinuated that Trump wants to take America back to the days of slavery:

Yes, you're attempting to take America back indeed, but much further than the 1950s, as has often been assumed. No, after last night's love letter to white supremacy, I'm now convinced that what you're actually reaching for is indeed 1776, when the recognition of certain Americans was still subject to public attitudes.

It was absolute insanity for Sharpton to tell his viewers that Trump has wanted to take this country back to the days of Jim Crow, but to also claim he's wanted African Americans to be slaves. No one should take Sharpton’s words seriously, especially considering his long history of hateful rhetoric. Throughout the duration of Trump’s speech, he only mentioned American heroes, none of which were white supremacists.

Sharpton gave this disruptive message on a day that all Americans are supposed to unite together and celebrate our independence. Although Sharpton’s words were troubling, in no way should they be surprising. His entire career has been based on race-baiting, and that was exactly what he did Saturday night.

Throwing it all together in one big smear, Sharpton excoriated:

You instead threw shade at protesters just steps away, Black Lives Matter in solidarity with the Sioux Nation, who were protesting both your presence on their sacred land and the appropriation of that land to honor white men with a monument carved by a Klan sympathizer.

It does not say much for the black community at large that this fraud, this crook, this liar, this demagogue is considered a “leader”.

Mt. Rushmore will come down at some future date. Call it demographics.

In this statement, mount Rushmore speaks to whites... while the unspoken statement of what speaks to blacks.

CHAZ and its “warlord” “raz”.

When people point out racism on either side, the resulting statement always degrades blacks.

It’s time to either accept it or find a new philosophy.

Speaking of Sharpton, prior to a few months ago the black leaders such as him, Martin Luther King, Jesse Jackson, didn’t complain about the Confederate Flag or Aunt Jemima.

Some blacks are obsessed with "White Supremacy". It has been postulated many of them do feel like lowly apes and are not the same kind of human as a Europen lighter-skinned peoples. They actually feel that down in their bones, that they are inferior. If it did not, they would not be so obsessed with it. Call it epigenetics, they were told they are inferior and 150 years later they actually still believe it. Nothing we can work with there, they have to have Booker T Washington moment.
