Here's a big BARF line, from your link....

If anything, the Ferguson crisis has underscored Sharpton’s role as the national black leader Obama leans on most, a remarkable personal and political transformation for a man once regarded with suspicion and disdain by many in his own party. It’s a status made all the more surprising given that Obama, America’s first black president, ran on a platform of moving beyond the country’s painful racial divisions while Sharpton is the man who once defined those divisions for many Americans.

The news media constantly defends Sharpton. Even on FOX News (token bottom feeder) Geraldo Rivera praises Sharpton as being on the same level as MLK Jr.

WHY do Blacks need “leaders”??? I have NEVER heard of a WHITE “leader”!!!! They are convincing me that they are INCAPABLE of taking care of themselves.
