The usual race hustlers like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson have been conspicuously silent this election cycle. Any thoughts on why?
The Commie BLM has them cornered?
Old in the tooth? nah.
New crowd is a little too violent for them? not sure.
They were told to stay out of the way? who knows.
So filthy rich now that they don’t have to bother anymore? maybe.
AOC and Omar too extreme fore even them? I dunno.
Race hustling in the 80s and 90s was a lot less violent and angry than it is now.
It was violent and angry then too, just not nearly as close.
They know the Biden brand is tainted and he isn’t going to win, so they aren’t going to expend political capital (future earnings) on helping him.
They’ve been silent for a few years actually. Maybe just getting old, and retiring on their blackmail money.
Perhaps they’re just lying in the weeds, waiting after the election to be kingmakers in a new “BLM Party”.
A very good question. Thanks for bringing it up!
They know it will hurt them to push Hiden/Lewinski
So many are not voting for them
It could severely backlash on them and their power base
I’m no big fan of Jessie Jackson, but I do have to give him credit for speaking out against the looting in Chicago a few months ago. I suspect our old race hustlers are far too moderate for today’s crowd.
I can’t even imagine how horribly contemporary BLM leaders would treat Martin Luther King.
>>The Commie BLM has them cornered?<<
Kind of. When Word Came Down from On High that burnlootmurder was hurting jo and the ho, the race pimps were told to dissapear. Even showing their faces will reinforce the linkage (which is why they chose a beige Indian to masquarade as black).
Soros $ always gets the last word for the democrats.
BLM race hustling is big money. BLM is getting $millions in grants and donations.

I think Jesse and Al expect that they would respond violently if he came for a cut, and they’re probably right.
Maybe theyre busy trying to delete all known copies of this picture.
My theory:
Both of them used to be friends with Donald Trump and loved what he did for the black community back-in-the-day. Now, if they say ANYTHING negative, anyone can trot out pictures of them having a wonderful time with The Donald,
Not only does it make them look like turncoats and hypocrits, it makes them look foolish.
Heck, I even saw a video clip of Oprah trying to convince a young Donald Trump to run for president.
They probably are being paid to keep their mouths shut.
While channel surfing, I came across Al Sharp-half-a-ton on MSNBC bad-mouthing President Trump.
I don’t know but it sure is nice......;)
The Reverend Al Sharpton was in Michigan the other day campaigning for the white senate candidate running against black Republican John James. Go figure.
The attorney (don’t recall his name) is the next generation.
They are totally opposite MLK's ideal of people judged on character over their race. BLM surpasses racial divisiveness by demanding whites pay money and defer to all more tinted people no matter if they were descendants of slavery or if those shook down had any ancestors involved with that.
I'm Scottish post-1800 and if it's not Scottish it's CRAP!
Couldn't resist. Seriously though, Jackson and Sharpton have to be embarrassed as how BLM racked up so much so quickly by exposing huge corporations' lack of guts to just say "No!". I appreciate them showing who no longer deserves good Americans' support.
