Al Sharpton, the original racial grievance merchant, has chimed in on the Claudine Gay firing — and is getting slapped for his trouble by sports media legend Sage Steele.
“This is an attack on every Black woman in this country who’s put a crack in the glass ceiling,” blathered Sharpton.
He blatantly ignored the fact that Gay was caught red-handed engaged in serial plagiarism, including of an acknowledgments section.
And of course Sharpton, who infamously led an antisemitic march during the Crown Heights pogrom of 1991, couldn’t spare a word for Gay’s passive and cowardly backing of antisemitic thugs at Harvard and elsewhere.
Steele, who is biracial, slammed the Rev: “I just wish he would go away. … Al Sharpton pretends that he knows what every single person of color in this country thinks, believes how they should live, how they should act, how they should vote.”
Her justified outrage echoes that of ex-prof Carol Swain, one of the victims of Gay’s plagiarism: “Stop listening to the racist mob of whites and blacks who cry racism while being among the worst offenders.” ***
But the pushback against fake racism claims is a welcome sign that maybe, just maybe, America’s getting sick of sociopathic race hustlers like Sharpton (and his heirs Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi and others).
The sooner they go away — or are made to go away, by ending the huge institutional support they enjoy — the better off we’ll all be.

“”But resist we much. We must, and we will much- about that- be committed.”
Sharpton seems to feel black women are liars and cheats and that competent honest black women can’t be found to fill high positions.
That’s crap and it’s insulting ... Had Gay been white with her weak resume and compromised writings, she NEVER would have been hired in the first place.
If there are other black compromised women in positions they didn’t earn, they need to be demoted too.

Without woke, Sharpton is a joke. A welfare joke, because he’d fail at any useful occupation.
Al from Poughkeepsie.
Every time I see him I laugh my arse off. An absolute stooge and idiot that grievance monsters from The Left have propped up for decades.
Laugh loudly in the face of ANYONE that offers him up as an authority on anything.
Exactly, Sharpton is a race hustler lying lawbreaker. ZERO credibility. One of the reasons I lost ALL faith in Bill O’Reilly, who put him on his show.
The suck up pols suck up because they think he delivers votes
BTW, I wanted to be sure that I misspelled "ete" correctly, in the same way Tawana misspelled it when she wrote it on herself. It seems that part of the story has been wiped from the internet. I guess it was a bit embarassing that a public school educated 15-year-old didn't know how to spell "eat".
Poughkeepsie is a strange town. It is in a beautiful location, right along the Hudson. However, at night it seemed to have a dark underbelly.
It’s what he’s built his entire life on. He’s a bastard of the worst kind.
Reverend Sharpton? The humble man of the cloth?👔 🎚️ 📖🕯️💰💰
The man who led his community to righteous anger against other races and self pitying marches and looting?📢🎤🔥🔥💣
I never thought it would come to this./S
Sharpton pay his million dollar IRS tax bill yet?.
Would “Reverend” Sharpton feel the same way if the woman in question was a WHITE Republican?
“Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Ibram X. Kendi”
Where do they come up with these names? LSD-fueled games of scrabble?
Every thing Sharpton does is pure race hustle.
