Rev. Al Sharpton Calls Alabama State Senate District “Heir Property” for African-Americans – Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | September 4, 2010

(VIDEO AT LINK)

Here is Naked Emperor News video of the Rev. Al Sharpton speaking at a rally in Alabama back in July in which he essentially said African-American candidate Johnny Ford should win his State Senate Primary runoff against a white candidate – Billy Beasley – because the district is “heir property” to African-Americans.

Sharpton, for all his talk of wanting equality, actually uses “race” as a cottage industry for himself. It is impossible to square these comments with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream that people would someday be “judged by the content of their character” and not the “color of their skin.”

The voters did not agree with Sharpton. Beasley defeated Ford in the Democratic Primary runoff for the District 28 State Senate Seat by getting 62% of the vote.

That should motivate the white voters. Doesn't Sharpton realize that? At this rate, with comments like this, the US could step back 50 years in race relations.

Al isnt too far wrong actually.

Charlie Rangel’s job is an African-American heir job, as is Maxine Waters. Both up on Ethics violations and as safe as in their Mama’s arms.

People, Black and White and every other Color, need to stand up and stop this s*** from going forward, or we will enslave ourselves and future generations.

There are counties in Alabama that are almost completely Black. The area is called the Black Belt and that name comes from the soil.

One country once gave Al Gore the highest % of their vote that any presidential canditate had ever received.

So much for not judging a man by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

For all they say they want equality, they are making it SO DIFFICULT for us to accept them as equals when they do things like this.

Al just can’t hide it.

Racist is as Racist does.

Proverbs 23:7 “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”

Sharpton reminds me of Kingfish on Amos & Andy. I know that Amos & Andy are not suppose to represent black people, but Sharpton is living proof that stereotypes exist for a reason.
