Racism is as racism does.

Biden said they want to put y'all back in chains. Who was ever in chains in America? Irish? Germans? Tall people? Fat people?

Al’s way of saying “PAY ME”

Al knows better. He don’t want to upset his masters on Uncle Barry’s plantation.

The "He didn't mean that" line might wash with some--if he hadn't used the southern "y'all" along with the word "back." This combination reveals his deliberate attempt at imagery designed to elicit/evoke an effect before the specific audience he was addressing.

they put “Rev” in front of their name like “rev” jackson and then spit on the Bible and its teachings.

if you believe in the Bible, you cannot support a rat.

Why does anyone not point out that it was the southern democRATS that supported slavery and the northern Republicans (by other names too) that opposed slavery. Abe was a Republican. In the 1960’s the ‘Rats finally voted to end segregation and racial discrimmination, but at a price. They have been trying to enslave the working class to the government by playing cllass and race warfare. Slavery is slavery no matter the boundary that is put up between master and slave. I have made up my mind that I am not going to be a compliant, passive slave. FUBO!

Uh oh. Maybe this is a little balloon raise in prep for the Hillary-Biden swap.

Saw Sharpton in a TV ad a few days ago. Yikes! Looks like he’s wasting away! That is not a diet!

[toldyou]

Google, and you’ll see how they were able to use the title “Reverend.” Sharpton is the biggest joke.

Obama and Sharpton may be the most successful charlatans in the history of the world.

[Dr. Sivana]

Wow. If Sharpton can describe a Dem’s rhetoric as being “over the top”, it must be REALLY over the top.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Right. He said y'all. He did not say us. Meaning he was clearly NOT referring to the population at large. He was referring specifically to those within his eyesight.

[Terry Mross]

It was black slaves that were brought here in chains. If he was talking about the “middle class” or the “poor” why did he put the emphasis on the word “back”.....”They’re gonna’ put ya’ll BACK in chains.”

[Toespi]

Remember several months ago when Joe spoke out against Obama’s policy on gay marriage? Man, everyone was shocked with Bidens “going against the prez” recall that? Because it was no accident, he was Obama’s frontman. It wasn’t ten days later that Obama changed his position on the issue. Biden was just setting the stage. So what is the ploy this time?

Al Sharpton is a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard.

Bonedigger, bonedigger, dogs in the moonlight, far away my well lit door.
Mr. Beerbelly, beerbelly, take thiese mutts away from me, ‘cause I don’t find this stuff amusing anymore.

I’ve been watching Al Sharpton make a fool of himself since the mid-to-late 1980s, when he was a frequent guest on the Morton Downey, Jr. Show. Even back then he was a caricature of himself.

RESIST.... we much!
