“I don’t know how I feel about George Zimmerman,” Carlson said (watch video here). “But I am positive that people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton do not deserve to be called civil rights leaders. They are not. They are hustlers and pimps who make a living off inflaming racial tensions. They know nothing about this. They’re not residents of Florida. They don’t represent anybody, they’re not elected to anything, they don’t have constituencies. The only reason they’re allowed to do this is because we in the press enable them by calling them civil rights leaders. Why do we do that?”

‘Community leaders, Vimes thought. There’d been a lot of talk about community leaders lately, as in “community leaders appealed for calm,” a phrase the *Times* used so often that the printers probably left it set in type. Vimes wondered who they were and how they were appointed, and, sometimes, if “appealing for calm” meant winking and saying “do not use those shiny new battle-axes in that cupboard over there...no, not that one, the other one.”’

... After the arrest,and as the trial date neared the following year,NBC would allow Al Sharpton to turn his primetime MSNBC show into a platform dedicated to convicting Zimmerman.
CNN would continue to refer to Zimmerman as a "white Hispanic" and broadcast all of Zimmerman's personal information,including his social security number, address,and telephone number.
If you listen to Sharpton, you would think that Zimmerman saw Trayvon and just took out his gun and shot him on the spot. That’s the crap he’s out there peddling and no one challenges him on it. He’s a pitiful little man.
I’m still pissed at Tucker for jumping on the hate Palin bandwagon.
Sharpton’s M.O.
several months before the Grand Jury issued its report, one of Sharpton’s top aides revealed Sharpton’s mercenary motive. Perry McKinnon, a decorated black Vietnam vet and former police officer, told federal investigators that Rev. Al had admitted privately that he didn’t believe Tawana Brawley’s story, but intended to ride it to fame and glory. McKinnon stated:
Sharpton acknowledged to me early on that “The Brawley story do (sic) sound like bull****, but it don’t matter. We’re building a movement. This is the perfect issue. Because you’ve got whites on blacks. That’s an easy way to stir up all the deprived people, who would want to believe and who would believe — and all [you’ve] got to do is convince them — that all white people are bad. Then you’ve got a movement.... It don’t matter whether any whites did it or not. Something happened to her ... even if Tawana don’t (sic) it to herself.”
Perry McKinnon submitted to a lie detector test administered on camera and passed all questions. In the Retro Report video, McKinnon further remarked, on camera:
This whole situation is not about Tawana Brawley. It’s about Mason, Maddox, and Sharpton taking over the town. Their exact words were, “We beat this, we will be the biggest N****** in New York.”
I wonder how many black Americans are familiar with Booker T. Washington anymore. A remarkable man.
Ole Tucker may just have grown a pair and would say it to the Race Bros Faces’.
I need a better link
Jesse stepped out on the patio of MLK’s hotel and smered MLK’s blood on his shirt.
Telling it just like it is.
No wonder Shamu Green called him a “white guy with a bowtie”.....
2nd on race warlords. I’m a fan from way back, before he was even syndicated and was just a local show here. His taking it to the race warlords on his show was one of the things that made me a fan.
Thanks maggief.
Years ago in the south - during the Jim Crow era - blacks were unable to elect their own Representatives. So they had unofficial 'community leaders'...
It was necessary at the time.
After the vote had been secured for blacks in the 60's Jackson types didn't want to give up their self appointed positions and the power and money that went with those positions.
The MSM didn't want 'community leader' to go away either because they could get much better quotes from black radicals than from people elected by black communities... Democrats and Republicans tacitly agreed to create 'safe' districts for blacks so political compromise between blacks and whites was thwarted. A perfect storm for racial hatred, violence and misunderstandings...
I’ve noticed. We can certainly count on the media to fan the flames and give the race hustlers a forum.
And of course the good old “just-us brothers” never let us down, either...out doing what they do best — threatenin’ and pimpin’ for cash.
“Trayvon didn’t have a jury of his peers”
He said it again? He’s up to something with that. I heard someone in one of the crowds repeat it, so he’s starting something.
“Geraldo was the only one who “got it” and used common sense...for a change.”
Oh yeah! I found myself being thankful for Geraldo’s common sense. Weird times.
Don’t be distracted. The Federal government is going to use sleight of hand, to keep our attention focussed on riots and demonstrations like the ones in Oakland, San Francisco and elsewhere, to try and give Boehner and Cantor breathing room to force amnesty for illegal aliens down our throats. DON’T LET THEM DO THIS!!
