Ruh-roh!! Better not let the “Reverum Jack-son” hear about this.

He claims that MLK died and made HIM president of the “negroes”.

Somebody got some ‘splainin’ to do.

NAGGERS!!??

Beg pardon, but who died and made Al Sharpton president of the Negroes?

The liberal media annointed Sharpton and Jackson. And use the term King because they didn't count all the votes since it didn't matter.

Marcus Garvey? Wasn’t he the guy who created the Black Star shipping lines to take blacks back to their homeland and subsequently defrauded all those who had sent him their passage money? THAT Marcus Garvey?

"I question whether we ought not by now have grown beyond the notion that one or two men can speak for, or offer absolution in the name of, 36 million people.

Nice one!

To what one man or woman do you apologize when you insult white folks?

No apologies necessary.

I always thought Al Sharpton should have gone to jail for his participation in the Tawana Brawley hoax. For some strange reason, the media put a camera on him and allowed him to spew more inaccurate charges. They bought it and allowed him to portray himself as a reputable authority...which he is not! I get so disgusted when I see O'Reilly and others deferring to him as though he were entitled to be taken seriously and accorded respect. The man deserves to be exposed for what he is...a dishonest shyster and scam artist (IMHO), and the same goes for Jessie Jackson. What kind of minister is it that lies, has extra marital affairs, fathers unwed children, and cons a company into giving his sons a beer distributorship? Here's a little clip telling how much they're making for their intimidation tactics: "In the early 1980s, Jackson organized a boycott of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. because the brewing company had no minority distributors. In 1998, Jackson’s sons Yusef and Jonathan were awarded the exclusive rights to distribute the brewer’s products in a section of Chicago’s North Side. The Jackson family distributorship records sales of $30 million to $40 million annually." Quite a prize, huh?

I'm convinced if we don't stop yielding to the minorities' illegal charges, the ACLU, the liberal Congress people, and the left-wing media and groups operating in this country, we won't have a free America to claim. These groups are rapidly taking our freedoms and making us answer to them, and I resent and reject that!
