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.”

An absence of blacks in management; a highly successful corporation. Any connection? There are not a whole lot of Walter E. Williamses or Thomas Sowells around.

"Hey! that's my line!" Former Ford President and CEO Jacques Nasser

"I do not like the sea of white faces in the audience," Ford President and CEO Jacques Nasser told a audience of Ford employees about 12 years ago.

If you build it they will come.. to take it away from you. The New America! The exception! Yeah you built it, except now the civil rights and victims industries want it.

Go stir up another crowd to burn down and murder some more crackers, Al.

But there are enough of them for this particular job.

OK, so here’s what we do: We start a write-in campaign to get Thomas Sowell recruited to the BOD for Apple.

He’s black, he knows quite a lot about finance and economics, lives in the Bay area. Trifecta, man.

Oh, and such an effort would cause the “Reverend” Al’s head to explode.

Hey Freaky Al Sharpton, my iPhone is white, my truck is white, my large boat is white and I even have a white Harley. I like white... deal with it. LOL

My John Deere tractor is green, my John Deere riding mower, walk behind mower and weed whacker are green. My Arctic Cat ATV is green. My house is white with green trim and has a green metal roof. Heck, even my eyes are green.

Most of my guns are black, but some are camo green. My new TenPoint crossbow is also green camo.

Hey Al, you and your folks need to get used to a world of color and quit preaching about all things black.

They may have no blacks but they probably have several lesbians and assorted moonbats.

No lesbians, but one definite moonbat - Al Gore.

he’s saying it’s not fair that there are no blacks in executive level positions. Everything is about race and racially motivated dontchaknow! If I was Apple I’d tell him to go F himself and I’ll se ya in court, but these days they will probably relent just to shut this POS up.

I know, I was just making a point to his stupidity. Of course, it does get him some political donations to shut up.

“pick some one with brown skin, who cares if they qualify”

These complaints are an admission by $harpton himself that he doesn’t believe blacks are equal to whites in intelligence or ability. What a defeated people; they must be doing OK if they can afford so many Apple products (I can’t).

“From now on, you should only steal Samsungs, Nokias, and Blackberries.”

Too funny!

I don’t know if whites understand how many useless tokens they pay off every time they buy any product; the judiciary has determined every company must pay blacks/Hispanics/females regardless of whether they do anything, and the companies have complied.
