Can someone tell me why Al Sharpton is a reference point every time a white person is accused of saying something racially offensive or provocative? Radio personality Don Imus made a comment about football player Adam Jones. He was implying that because Jones was Black,he was being singled out. Some people interpreted it as meaning because Jones was Black,he was a crook. So who does the press go to for comment? Al Sharpton,that's who. Imus made a mistake after the Rutgers women's basketball team incident by appearing on the Sharpton radio show. Why Sharpton? I mean,I know why not Limbaugh,but why Sharpton?
Isn't this the same Al Sharpton who referred to a store owner as a "white interloper"? Why does he get a free ride from such a provocative remark,a remark that led a mentally disturbed man to torch the store in question,killing seven people,all people of color. Yet Sharpton gets a pass. I wouldn't go to a man who created such a storm for forgiveness.
Now Sharpton is being accused of shaking down businesses in exchange for not picketing in fron of their establishments. He denies it. I hope he's right,otherwise he becomes a Black interloper.
