SEIU President Accepted Award from National Action Network [arguably a hate group]

SEIU President Andy Stern accepted award from prominent racist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton

It has come to our attention that the head of the Service Employees International Union, one of the major unions that supported the election of Barack Obama, accepted an award from Al Sharpton and his National Action Network. The National Action Network is the same organization that paraded around a Jewish-owned store, Freddy's Fashion Mart, while yelling racial and anti-Semitic epithets. This took place under Al Sharpton's leadership and supervision, and Al Sharpton personally used the racial epithet "white interloper."

Is it reasonable to define the National Action Network as a hate organization?

    A hate group is an organized group or movement that advocates physical or verbal aggression toward or refusal to interact with persons on the basis of those persons' possession and/or exhibition of a certain characteristic.
The "certain characteristic" might of course include the "wrong" skin color (white, black, or yellow depending on the hate group's agenda) or, in the case of the Crown Heights riots and the arson of Freddy's Fashion Mart, big Jewish noses ("because air is free"). Now let us take a look at the National Action Network's behavior outside Freddy's Fashion Mart in 1995.

...To put this another way, the National Action Network acted toward Freddy's Fashion Mart the way the Ku Klux Klan once acted toward Black-owned businesses that moved into the "wrong" neighborhoods: racist hate speech, threats to burn the business down, and actual firebombings by deranged individuals who acted on the Klan's hate speech.

Andy Stern, President of the SEIU, accepted an award from a group that uses language like “bloodsucking Jews,” “crackers,” “Jew b******s,” “white interloper,” and “don’t give the Jew a dime.”

I’m guessing Andy Stern is Jewish? And he’s accepting an award from people who call him “a bloodsucking Jew,” “a cracker,” “a Jew b******,” “a white interloper,” and “don’t give the Jew a dime.” Stern and the majority of his fellow Jews cuddle up to people who are openly hostile to them, yet Stern et al are hostile not towards their enemies, but towards the Christian groups who would defend them.

What the heck, the two black panthers who intimidated white voters at the polls will probably be up for the Presidential Medal Of Freedom.

Or a Nobel Peace Prize, if they open the right box of Cracker Jack.

LOL. Any moral person would be ashamed to be on the Nobel list ever since they awarded it to the murderer Arafat.

Al Sharpton

"..Freddie's Fashion Mart

In 1995, a black Pentecostal Church, the United House of Prayer, which owned a retail property on 125th Street, asked Fred Harari, a Jewish tenant who operated Freddie's Fashion Mart, to evict his longtime subtenant, a black-owned record store called The Record Shack. Sharpton led a protest in Harlem against the planned eviction of The Record Shack.[48][49][50] Sharpton told the protesters, "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."[51]

On December 8, 1995, Roland J. Smith Jr., one of the protesters, entered Harari's store with a gun and flammable liquid, shot several customers and set the store on fire. The gunman fatally shot himself, and seven store employees died of smoke inhalation.[52][53] Fire Department officials discovered that the store's sprinkler had been shut down, in violation of the local fire code.[54] Sharpton claimed that the perpetrator was an open critic of himself and his nonviolent tactics. Sharpton later expressed regret for making the racial remark, "white interloper," and denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.[13][55].."
