Sunday night’s BET Awards honored highly paid but low-rated MSNBC talk show host Rev. Al Sharpton with a “humanitarian” trophy, quite an honor for an unapologetic hoaxster who has blood on his hands. Sharpton took the opportunity of receiving the award to deliver his special brand of political wisdom.
“We’re still gonna’ fight to protect the vote, there’s all kind of schemes trying to stop us from voting,” he said.
“There are people that want to take away our rights, we wanna change Medicade and Medicare. I support and love the president but whatever you do vote, because this election is not just about Obama, it’s about yo mama, and we better vote or they’re gonna’ take all that from us.”
Emphasis added. The Tatler is not the Onion; Sharpton actually said the quote above. Sharpton is referring to voter ID laws that several states have passed in recent years. About 70 percent of Americans across all ethnic backgrounds support such laws, and studies have shown that minority voting rates increase following the passage of voter ID laws.
BET says it awarded Sharpton its humanitarian prize in part for his role in the Trayvon Martin case. Sharpton used his MSNBC perch to call for escalating civil disobedience and even economic sanctions against Sanford, FL until the evidence started to support George Zimmerman, at which point Sharpton and MSNBC quickly scaled back their “crusading” coverage of the killing. Sharpton’s parent network, NBC, has been exposed for dishonestly editing Zimmerman’s 911 call placed on the night of the killing, injecting a race angle into the story when the evidence did not warrant it.
Humanitarian Sharpton reportedly owes the Internal Revenue service more than $2 million in back taxes.
Well, the black community doesn’t seem like iit will be happy until it pays back “whitey” for the past.
Even if neither side in the revenge scenarios were even born then. Or their parents, for that matter. Or grandparents.
It, not iit. Apologies. And I hope the message is clear–just because Al Sharpton says something does not mean it is the truth, just because a supposedly monolithic black community claims something does not mean they are correct.
Minorities in America are simply getting power in America, power appropriate to their numbers, and this makes it impossible to gloss over occasions where they use it irresponsibly. Especially if, as is now, they get additional cultural power not appropriate to their numbers do to some social engineering desire by elites.
Sharpton is to HUMANITY as:
OBAMA is to _______________!
Where does Jesse JAX fit in?
Racists giving a racist an award for being a racist. The Dem Party is so clueless today it is unbelievable they cozen this type of overt racial advocacy while denying the exact same principle to whites as – you guessed it: racist.
I myself would never have anything to do with a white advocacy group of any kind; I consider such ideas depraved. I’m glad there is not a single such group in the mainstream. It only highlights the sad fate the Dem Party has experienced.
– umpteenth time, he is not a Rev. Look it up. You won’t be able, Pope Tatler the First.
