Sharpton's 2003 e-mail to Honda "We cannot be silent while African-Americans spend hard-earned dollars with a company that does not hire, promote or do business with us in a statistically significant manner."
Sharpton raised $1 million for NAN at his 60th birthday bash in October, with donations rolling in from unions and a corporate roster of contributors including AT&T, McDonald’s, Verizon and Walmart.
Companies have gotten in line to pay Sharpton. Macy’s and Pfizer forked over thousands to NAN, as have General Motors, American Honda and Chrysler.

On the lighter brighter side many of those companies advertised on his worthless program... so it was shake-down after stupid shake-down. Guilty white liberal companies that pay off thuggy deserve what they get. (which in this case is nothing... no eyes on their ads...)
