Shakedown Sharpton has struck again, according to an Arizona trucker, who says in a new federal lawsuit that the good reverend promised to help him, then took him for $16,000.

"He's a crook, he's a fraud, and that's all he is," complains Reggie Anders Sr., who sought out the Rev. Al Sharpton for help resolving a 2009 discrimination dispute with Verizon.

"He didn't do anything he promised," Anders said Saturday by phone from Mesa, Ariz. "Absolutely nothing."

Sharpton promised to go to bat for him against Verizon, a trucking client of Anders he had accused of discrimination and breach of contract in a federal suit that was dismissed in 2014.

Sharpton would "set up mediation meetings" and if need be "put the matter to the media" and even blast the telecom giant on his weekly radio broadcast, according to Anders' lawsuit, filed Friday in Manhattan federal court. All Anders had to do was hand over $16,000. Sharpton was very clear about how he wished to be paid, Anders told The Post. "He wanted cash only. He didn't say why."

But The Rev was not clear at all about one thing - that Verizon and other major corporations had been paying Sharpton and NAN thousands of dollars in donations.

No doubt that Sharpton is a POS fraud and many other things.

Sharpton promised to go to bat for him against Verizon, a trucking client of Anders he had accused of discrimination and breach of contract in a federal suit that was dismissed in 2014.

I'd be willing to bet though that so are you...

The irony is rich here. Some dolt who is trying to get into the shakedown business gets shaken down by the biggest shakedown artist of them all. Love it.

Last year a friend had a conversation with the owner of an Alaskan fishing boat (not a crabber) in Washington state on the subject of why there are not a lot of blacks signed on as crewmen on many of these vessels.
He explained that many boat owners refused to take the risk of losing their livelihood and their boat by being sued for racial discrimination because they just fired some black crewman for cause.
He mentioned several cases where boat owners in Alaska have gone into debt trying to defend against government discrimination suits which, if they lose, will force them to sell their boats. He maintained that decisions not to hire African American are not racial, it's financial.

This man would have us believe it cost him $16,000.00 to figure out that Al is a crook and a fraud?

I say they’re two peas in a pod.

a one world order aiding, pedophile, elitist, say, maybe a aids patient also comes to mind. It will be interesting how long after his death it takes for the politically connected churches have a stained GL ass(sp) window depicting Sharpston’s opinion of himself.

“He maintained that decisions not to hire African American are not racial, it’s financial.”

I believe that is now widespread, given the easy availability of other “preferred minorities” (Hispanics) that can be hired instead. In my years in the workforce I’ve noticed a steady progression of jobs that had previously been held by blacks going to Hispanics instead. Also, Hispanics are progressing through the supervisory ranks while blacks remain in low-skilled jobs.

Because of this, I can easily see a situation where companies are forced (as apparently government jobs already do, even if unofficially) to set aside x number of jobs specifically for blacks specifically, with y number of jobs set aside for other “victims” (Hispanics, women, etc.). India is trying this in an attempt to assimilate their untouchable caste into the economy...

So the truck driver hired one of the Justus Brothers, and didn’t get justice?
