Nah... we're missing the point.. we have a reverend here who does not think taxes apply to him.. a Reverend..one who has a long history of stiffing people. A reverend who collects donations from other people to pay his back taxes and liens and bills.

But he is a good leader... a good role model for his people. A man of good moral character. and a man of God.. What a guy!!!

But lets be fair.. when that is all you have.. you have to hold on to it... justify it.. protect it.... and hope no one notices.

BTW.. Does the good reverend actually have a church that he preaches to his flock to from a weekly basis... or is that title just a tax thing too.

Can one walk into this church on any given weekend and see the good preacher up there leading his flock.

Just wondering.

if it was in print somewhere it must be true,,,

'long history'? the man is in his seventies,, what are we talking 2 of those years ,,4...?

and again I dont know his tax situation anymore than any one here

his finances and his civil rights contributions are completely seperate issues,,


I never called him my leader or my role model

I explained why I have no such things amongst mortal men

I merely stated that I give him credit for what he contributes to CIVIL RIGHTS,,

why that creates all these leaps and tangents in logic,,,,,Im not sure,,

you would have to ask an expert in pastoral titles

do they expire ? does a degree expire?

do we ever stop using the title president for previous presidentS?

really, another irrelevant question that doesnt concern or interest me much

Are past presidents tax exempt? Does Sharpton use that status to receive tax exempt donations... the status of a reverend.. a man of God. Can past presidents do that based on being a " past president"

And it may not interest you.. but you are not the only one on this thread.. are you

Busted by the FBI for extortion and racketeering, became an informant on his partners to save his own skin

# 1 I doubt anyone here is a tax specialist or aware of whether SHARPTON claims any exemption for being reverend (or if he can)



and

#2 what has any of that to do with an opinion on someones contribution to CIVIL RIGHTS?


my statemtent, I respect what he contributes to the civil rights movement
stands

my answers to the irrelevant questions that followed ...have been asked and answered,

My statement. I do not respect him.. as a leader. nor as a reverend or as a man, also.. stands.

lol , clearly

I sometimes think there are only three black 'leaders' known around here , scapegoats to ANYTHING and EVERYTHING involving blacks

the top three go to scapegoats are

Obama
Sharpton
Farrakhan


with honorable mention to Jackson(though he has been pretty irrelevant for decades,,)

You 4got the wannabe Don the Lemon

I rarely see that name in these posts,, especially compared to the gotos mentioned above

I agree with you about Jackson.. he sure has turned into " Uncle Jesse, the family goofball.. hasn't he.

He still comes to the parties.. but no one actually invites him.
