Sharpton on Trump's Remarks at Black Church: 'Insult to Our Intelligence'
Mediaite ^ | September 3, 2016 | Josh Feldman

Al Sharpton wasn't all that impressed by Donald Trump"s black outreach efforts with a visit to a Detroit church today. He said on MSNBC this afternoon that Trump "blew an opportunity" to lay out a clear vision of his agenda for the black community in an ideal forum for that.

And with Trump talking about communities learning from each other, Sharpton said, "Harlem is on the same island as Trump Tower. What have you gone up there and learned?"

He argued that it sounds like Trump is "just discovering" what black people need but not actually outlining specific policies for them, unlike Hillary Clinton.

It’s not hard to insult Sharpton’s intelligence since he doesn’t have any.

Sorry “Reverend” Al, it’s impossible to insult YOUR “intelligence.” It would be like insulting a box of rocks.

Al Sharpton is a pathetically low IQ individual. He was selected by a group of evil white elite members to be a spokesman for the black community. Intelligent blacks should be insulted. Sharpton can do a limited amount of damage. However, this same elite will be pushing for fields like air traffic control to be “diversified.” That could be a real problem.

A race hustler doesn’t like the idea of healing divisions and building a prosperous unified future? I am so shocked.

I can’t believe that 150 after The Civil War we’re still talking about black America as we do. For crying out loud when the hell is ‘’black American going to get it’s ass in gear?

2nd Div Vet: You’re dyslexic. You wrote that Sharpton’s IQ is 63. It actually is 36.

And regarding Sharpton’s comment that Trump insults his intelligence. Poor Al. I hate to tell him that you can’t insult you don’t have.

This guy makes Bernie Madoff seem like an amateur.

Your days in the limelight are over. Remember Rudy not meeting with you ONCE?!?!

Trump will do the same.

Remember being a NOBODY during Rudy’s tenure?

Get used to it again.

Sharpton is not sharp. He is not even smart enough to pay his taxes. The amount of unpaid back taxes that Sharpton currently owes is in excess of $4 million.

What Al and the democrats don’t understand is that Trump’s policy of listening to blacks IS a new agenda they haven’t been shown by the democrats, who NEVER listen to blacks.

Trump said that he was there to listen.

It is Al Sharpton who blew an opportunity big time to present a positive message and genuine hope for the future.
