I disagree, a bigot is someone intolerant to anyone but their own 'group' Sharpton represents many groups and issues,, the media chooses to highlight those issues he takes up for black people,,,, |

If he wasn't, he would be a "has been". Most "every day" people could care less about the color of a persons skin! To say otherwise is just BS! Then you have the profiteers like Sharpton or the reverse on the white supremist side who want to keep the battle raging to promote their own self worth. Anyone who buys into it is no better, racist, and I refuse to wear that badge!

I think what he called for was JUSTICE, thats not about everyday men but about an american INSTITUTION we call the courts |

I hate the "quotes" option! Sharpton is NOT Martin Luther King! Sharpton is no better than any white extremist with a platform. Justice my a$$! He wants an example, a precident, a martyr, to promote his own agenda, and then along comes Treyvon.... problem is, the guy that shot him is also a minority, but he has light skin so let's blame them all! Since this occurance, Sharpton has had more airtime than Ron Paul who is running for POTUS! Don't even begin to try and make me believe it's not all about what Mr Sharpton can get out of it! He wants to be POTUS someday.....remember? |

That's BS! The media would have done that on their own! Sharpton just saw an opportunity and jumped on it! |

This wasnt the first case with similar circumstances, but the others didnt get THIS type of media attention. They remained local stories, quickly forgotten ,,,, |

SPEAK UP! someone once said, race isnt a card, it determines who is the dealer and who gets dealt thats a sad side affect of AMERICAN HISTORY,,,, its not going away and people arent going to stop discussing or addressing those issues and yes, some people are hateful, for whatever reasons and use whatever scapegoats but this wasnt what the Treyvon Martin attention was about,,, |

Obozo played the race card, Sharpton, Lee....does anyone remember That Z is hispanic? Another minority (well maybe...our borders are still open). If that scenario plays then we can blame Obozo for 9/11 because he's now the POTUS and assumed that responsibility. It's all about being part of the problem or part of the solution, and race baiting isn't the solution by ANY means! |

SHARPTON IS A PROFITEERING FRAUD! not really when he says republicans wage war on blacks,, thats a race card when he says we need justice for an unarmed kid whose killer was so quickly excused,,,its not a race card just because the kidd happens to be black,,,its the TRUTH when he speaks up in support of Obama supporting same sex marriage, that has nothing to do with race when he speaks up about equal voting rights, that isnt exclusive to race either,,,, |

What lengths will you BS to in order to try to convince people he's not racist? And that is your view on the Martin case, not everyone's. I think that you are so mad about this case, that you would back anyone who says they support the "kid". |

I think that you are so mad about this case, that you would back anyone who says they support the "kid". everyone who observes or has opinions about race relations isnt 'angry' in fact, the people who seem to keep posting here seem to be the ones who wish to 'bait' others into continuing this topic I have pretty much been satisfied since I found that some attempt at justice was going to be made in a courtroom for the dead kid as to Sharpton, I dont know if he is racist or not, I actually have my own perception that all americans are racist on some level, but that doesnt make me any more 'angry' than my perception that women will generally be held more accountable for being 'proper' and keeping their legs closed than will men those are realities based upon my perception, I may or may not agree with them So Sharpton being a racist wasnt my point, my point was in THIS SITUATION, getting a platform for parents who have lost their child,, he did the RIGHT THING,,,, and that black and white issues are not the only issues he tackles just because they are the ones the media flock to,,,, |
