Al Sharpton puts Apple in crosshairs, decrying all-white board
The Washington Times ^ | September 11, 2013 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton suggested in a radio broadcast making the rounds on YouTube that Apple is too white and needs to add some black faces to executive-level positions.

“[There are] no blacks on the board of Apple,” Mr. Sharpton said Tuesday on conservative blogger Brian Maloney’s “Radio Equalizer” broadcast. “We buying up all this Apple stuff and can’t get a bite.”

Al, you are an idiot! Apple is not a government entity that you can force-feed incompetents of color upon that have to be taken in and covered for. Apple shaped it’s extremely successful company by hiring the very BEST of the QUALIFIED. Something you hardly ever find in government. Haig when CEO of UTC said he’d hire a Martian if that alien could do better than anyone else. Al, you’ve worked so long with idiots that you’ve grown accustomed to mediocrity which is something successful companies in America rid themselves of immediately. Go back to positioning even bigger idiots in government positions and allow the private sector to make money, hand over fist so as to pay, via taxes, the likes of your kind. PS Stay away from Guam as it’s tippy and don’t get run over by the lunar module whenever you visit Mars!

Al's looking for a "Putney Swope" takeover.

Someone didn’t donate enough to the Good Rev.’s slush fund.

A few tens of millions of dollars should make the problem go away. Expect to have to donate to Jack$on’s fund too.
