I remember when J.J. painted "Black Jesus"
Quotes from the racist preacher without a congregation, a functional mind, OR a soul =
Following the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman, Sharpton led several protests and rallies criticizing the Sanford Police Department over the handling of the shooting and called for Zimmerman’s arrest: “Zimmerman should have been arrested that night. You cannot defend yourself against a pack of Skittles and iced tea.”
Sean Hannity accused Sharpton and MSNBC of “rush[ing] to judgment” in the case. MSNBC issued a statement in which they said Sharpton “repeatedly called for calm” and further investigation.
Following the acquittal of Zimmerman, Sharpton called the not guilty verdict an “atrocity” and “a slap in the face to those that believe in justice.”
Subsequently, Sharpton and his organization, National Action Network, held rallies in several cities denouncing the verdict and called for “Justice for Trayvon.”
