he is not stupid....he makes money shaking down (threatening) innocent people with his racist/racial attacks

note he’s trying to go after SillyCon Valley, too...

common denominator...? there’s money in both places...

remember Willy Sutton’s famous explanation of why he robbed banks....”because there’s money there....”

Now you understand Sharpton. Just substitute the more modern “you a racist” threats for Sutton’s firearm...

What’s appalling was that every winner of the BET 2014 awards was black. This needs an investigation also, right?

And a man with an abundance of integrity. And he was a guy who literally started from the street, he use to sleep on a roof in New York city while he worked as a dishwasher and a Jewish waiter taught him how to speak properly. Today he would have been given a taxpayer funded apartment with a monthly EBT card and told all his problems were the fault of rich white Jews.

He's looking for a CONTRIBUTION from the Oscar folks in return for NOT showing up and creating a hub-bub on Oscar night.

The A$$HOLE race baiter continues his tactics.

I suggest that the Academy give a lifetime award posthumously to Billie Thomas Jr., the actor who played Buckwheat in the Little Rascals series. That should make Al Sharpton happy. That plus $4 million dollars payable Al will make this whole kerfluffel go away.

Then start your own Mutual Friendship Society and award your own Oscars. You can call them ‘Boscars’..................

Has it ever occurred to the Master race - baiter that maybe people are sick to death of movies dealing with racism? Every year it’s another movie on slavery or civil rights.

we really must move beyond this Affirmative Action complex. It is time blacks become color blind, as, I believe, much of white America has.

I use to be friends with a black guy who use to work with Sharpton when I lived in New York city. I even met Sharpton twice. He said money is Sharptons ONLY goal, that’s all all all he cares about. He could give a rats ass about racism. That’s why he will ignore street shootings, street killings because there’s nobody to shake down. But if a black gets killed in gated community like the Trayvon/Zimmerman case, then the dollar signs start flashing because there could be a lawsuit against the landlords or whoever was organizing that neighborhood watch. He does EVERYTHING for money. I mean how many gangstas kill blacks every year he don’t say shet, but the second a cop kills one there is Sharpton screaming his head off even if the evidence show a cop was defending himself.

This isn't an article from The Onion online web site, right?

That was my first thought. I was checking if this was from the Onion.

Yeah, there should be an Oscar category for best performance by a race-baiting victimologist — wouldn’t be fair to the other candidates though.

Sharpton is going to make a joke of blacks who win Oscars, people will start to think blacks get an award just because their black. It will diminish any achievement for the black actors. Sharpton is doing them no favor with this non-sense. I guess Hollywood can ensure all black actors are awarded gold plated Kewpie dolls.
