People are such bigots! They never see the forest thru the trees!

The very ones who preach racial inequality are the very ones who promote it, for without it, they are nobody!



some are pastors, some are teachers, some are lawyers, some are accountants,,

people who preach about inequality have all sorts of other capabilities


many older activists came up in a very segregated unjust time when things were not as technological and simple trades were common and respected



there are some who also have no recognizable skill, but they rarely reach national recognition that lasts for decades without being torn apart for their 'lack' of whatever,,,,,


All are bigots! Byron Widner or Al Sharpton.......they feed on fear and separation, and nothing that helps the people they represent!

I disagree, a bigot is someone intolerant to anyone but their own 'group'

Sharpton represents many groups and issues,, the media chooses to highlight those issues he takes up for black people,,,,

Sharpton is a wannabe... as much so as any white supremist!

If he wasn't, he would be a "has been".

Most "every day" people could care less about the color of a persons skin! To say otherwise is just BS! Then you have the profiteers like Sharpton or the reverse on the white supremist side who want to keep the battle raging to promote their own self worth. Anyone who buys into it is no better, racist, and I refuse to wear that badge!

its easy to ignore the elephant in the room if it doesnt affect you

doesnt make racism any less real or discrimination any less REAL and SIGNIFICANT

'most people' dont wield power,, but MOST who do, appear to care quite a bit about race,,,,when we look closer at policies, laws, employment and how they are applied or implemented

Blame the gov't, or people like Sharpton, not the "everyday" man or woman! People like Sharpton are a cancer that perpetuates the hatred!

when did Sharpton 'blame' the 'everyday' man?

I think what he called for was JUSTICE, thats not about everyday men but about an american INSTITUTION we call the courts

I hate the "quotes" option!

Sharpton is NOT Martin Luther King!

Sharpton is no better than any white extremist with a platform.

Justice my a$$! He wants an example, a precident, a martyr, to promote his own agenda, and then along comes Treyvon.... problem is, the guy that shot him is also a minority, but he has light skin so let's blame them all!

Since this occurance, Sharpton has had more airtime than Ron Paul who is running for POTUS!

Don't even begin to try and make me believe it's not all about what Mr Sharpton can get out of it! He wants to be POTUS someday.....remember?

That's BS!

The media would have done that on their own! Sharpton just saw an opportunity and jumped on it!

I dont think they would have. This wasnt the first case with similar circumstances, but the others didnt get THIS type of media attention. They remained local stories, quickly forgotten ,,,,

someone once said, race isnt a card, it determines who is the dealer and who gets dealt

thats a sad side affect of AMERICAN HISTORY,,,,


its not going away and people arent going to stop discussing or addressing those issues

and yes, some people are hateful, for whatever reasons and use whatever scapegoats

but this wasnt what the Treyvon Martin attention was about,,,

Obozo played the race card, Sharpton, Lee....does anyone remember That Z is hispanic? Another minority (well maybe...our borders are still open).

If that scenario plays then we can blame Obozo for 9/11 because he's now the POTUS and assumed that responsibility.

It's all about being part of the problem or part of the solution, and race baiting isn't the solution by ANY means!

I agree, I already spoke my peace on the subject, but I'll back you up on the Sharpton being a joke and ALWAYS pulling the race card. In fact that's all he ever plays!

no idea what this has to do with the discussion,,,,,,

what does Z being hispanic have to do with a family speaking up about losing a child to a man with a gun who was still walking free with the serious possibility that he may never even be CHARGED?

not really

when he says republicans wage war on blacks,, thats a race card

when he says we need justice for an unarmed kid whose killer was so quickly excused,,,its not a race card just because the kidd happens to be black,,,its the TRUTH


when he speaks up in support of Obama supporting same sex marriage, that has nothing to do with race

when he speaks up about equal voting rights, that isnt exclusive to race either,,,,

LOL......do we listen to the same speeches? What lengths will you BS to in order to try to convince people he's not racist?

And that is your view on the Martin case, not everyone's. I think that you are so mad about this case, that you would back anyone who says they support the "kid".

everyone who observes or has opinions about race relations isnt 'angry'

in fact, the people who seem to keep posting here seem to be the ones who wish to 'bait' others into continuing this topic

I have pretty much been satisfied since I found that some attempt at justice was going to be made in a courtroom for the dead kid


as to Sharpton, I dont know if he is racist or not, I actually have my own perception that all americans are racist on some level, but that doesnt make me any more 'angry' than my perception that women will generally be held more accountable for being 'proper' and keeping their legs closed than will men

those are realities based upon my perception, I may or may not agree with them

So Sharpton being a racist wasnt my point, my point was in THIS SITUATION, getting a platform for parents who have lost their child,, he did the RIGHT THING,,,,

and that black and white issues are not the only issues he tackles just because they are the ones the media flock to,,,,
