How many remember the Tawana Brawley case in the small quiet village of Fishkill New York. She lived in an Apt. outside of the Village and claimed she was asulted by the then County Prosecutor, Steve Pagones? Who was the first to claim it was a racist act and the people should up rise, Al Sharpton. His rable rousing did not work and he and Tawana were both sued and lost but I am not sure if they ever paid Steve Pagones for the terrible attacks on him. The case was pretty much destroyed by Tawana's alleged boyfriend at the time who testified the allegations were invented and it was all a hoax! I listened on TV this morning and who was speaking in the service, Al Sharpton screaming for the people to take action. He was rable rousing again as that is what he does!. There was a terrible act by a criminal policeman and killed an innocent victim. Unfortunately, Sharpton obviously saw this as another opportunity and moved in with his rable rousing. He is the bottom feeder of "do gooders" and acts to provoke more killings and injuries.

All Sharpton does is cause trouble a lot of it. Stirs up uninformed individuals who go on to cause even more trouble.

Al Sharpton does absolutely nothing for minorities.

Al Sharpton is a fine example of why there are more horses asses than there are horses

IMHO the only possible reason that he's not in jail because of income tax fraud is that putting him in jail might make him a martyr in the eyes of some

He was also a good friend of a former president who invited him to the white house rather often.

He should be in prison for tax fraud but he seems to have gotten away with that.

But yeah, just keep buying into the distraction of..."I'm not racist or bigoted and it's all Sharpton's fault."

Jump up and down and raise your hands, if you see the flaming hypocrisy, irony...and real attempt here.

I am really intrigued by the fact that someone posts that Al Sharpton is A problem, and someone CHANGES that to Al Sharpton is THE problem, and then attacks insults folks for saying Al Sharpton is THE problem calling them a bigot and racist for thinking that. And THAT is why we will never be united.

I'm simply pointing out that the posts using Sharpton as the focus "of a lot" (earlier legitimate point of incorrectly using "ALL" noted) of the problems, while being totally silent and ignoring...what I mentioned as being a much BIGGER problem.

Point noted...and post edited.

Any comments on my other points?

Yes, Al Sharpton is absolutely positively a problem.

It has nothing to do with the fact that 4 cops murdered a black guy, OR that a bunch of cops pushed an old white guy down on the sidewalk and ordered other cops to ignore the fact that the old guy was bleeding from his head when he fell.

But sure if you want to bring up Al Sharpton as a problem, in general, that's fine. I'll post a thread about how cauliflower pizza is inferior in every way to wheat-based pizza. They'll both be random topics and all will be well.

If there was a way to shut down the extremists on ALL sides of race, religion, and gender, etc., the rest of us would get along just fine. Until then, the agitators on ALL sides will keep telling us how dangerous the other side is, and nothing will change.

They'll continue telling us how dangerous the other side is, as long as there are people willing to listen to what they're being told by them.

Stop listening - and they'll stop talking. They talk because they know they have an audience. Even on twitter - if you want to know what someone is saying, but don't want THEM to know that you're paying attention - you do NOT have to follow them. Just UNfollow them - and you can still go to their account page and read what they're posting. But they will not have the benefit of your account on their follower list.

It is a tragedy that the police murdered a man but they will be punished for their actions as they should be.

When they bring on a vicious agitator like Sharpton it is only to make a bad situation worse instead of having a conversation on how to make things better for all.

And therein lies the primary problem.

People listening, without doing their own verification.

A LOT of truth in that.
