Outside of the president, Al Sharpton might possibly be the most powerful man in America right now. And no, that isn’t an overstatement.

Think about what the 60-year-old activist and MSNBC host has going for him right now:

Power Indicator #1: Sharpton has been to the White House to advise President Barack Obama, his senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, or both. No big deal, right? Plenty of MSNBC hosts have visited over the past six years.

Care to guess, according to the White House Visitor Log, just how many times Sharpton has visited since Mr. Obama took office? Five times? Nope. 15 times? Try again. 25 times? Getting warmer. He’s visited at least 35 times. Quite the feat considering Sharpton is an unelected official living about 250 miles away from DC.

A deal was made at the beginning of the O run: Sharpton, you herd your cow-lemmings in the direction of my choosing, I’ll grant you visits so that you look important and valid.

Nobody treats black people worse, with more disrespect, disdain ... than blacks and the leadership black people choose, Whether it’s on the streets or in politics.

If there is indeed a gene that differentiates black people, other than pigment, it’s the ‘as-a-group-whom-do-you-choose-(or-accept)-to-lead-you’ gene.

Barry Seotoro is the most damaging yet. And yet there are a ton of absolutely awesome choices, even if you have to be racist and vote your own color.

the number seems to be right around 80

[DJ Taylor]

“The most powerful person in America? Let’s see: the African-American population of the U.S. is 14.1 per cent.”

It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit.

BUMP

The only power that Sharpton has is media power. He only has a voice because the media is his megaphone. Otherwise, he disappears.
