Another thing I know is that they both help ALL people. I have worked with them (co partnering) and have seen what they've done for all races first hand... it got up close and personal when I almost lost my job in 2008.

My very large corporation decided to hack the people who were close to retirement. I didn't ask Mr. Jackson to step in, but a friend of my husband's did. Thanks to him nine of us... All races kept our jobs until we were ready to retire! Trust me..... when he stepped in... it was a VERY big deal! He did it quietly and discreetly... but I was told he was involved and getting it done... by his group and my company!

No one knows about that... it wasn't news worthy to put in the paper.

A lot of what they do for us white people... isn't news worthy to put in the paper. It just doesn't make good news.

But... haters gonna hate....
There is much truth in what you say, I am glad he was able to help you (Jackson) in your company.

First 1/2 correct thing you say is they are invited. Yes, I believe that to be true TODAY. My problem is that was not always the case for either of them. They both made their career INTERFERING.....you can check facts on Jackson and his disputed and proven lies about his early years with MLK..you can check lots of stuff on Sharpton and his escapades. THIS does not make them bad in itself......to support injustice is a good thing, but to USE injustice for personal gains with no regard to truth or ironically justice to accomplish your goals is not admirable.

Since you know "first hand" what Sharpton, for example has down for white people I will have to accept your word, but there has been zero evidence shown publicly and in fact his comments on Jews, Mormons and whites are legion and disgusting.

Where I think you are absolutely correct is that they are USED as tools at this stage of their lives, which does not make it right. If we are to judge people by their actions and WORDS (which you cannot erase) then I will still say they both fit the true definition of racist.
