... an imposing figure ...

[HDRider]

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo hailed him as a civil rights icon. President Obama sent an aide to read a message commending Mr. Sharpton’s “dedication to the righteous cause of perfecting our union.” Major corporations sponsored the lavish affair.

With the tax liability outstanding, Mr. Sharpton traveled first class and collected a sizable salary, the kind of practice by nonprofit groups that the United States Treasury’s inspector general for tax administration recently characterized as “abusive,” or “potentially criminal” if the failure to turn over or collect taxes is willful.

He often used strident language that many saw as inflaming racial tensions. During rallies at the Slave Theater in Brooklyn, he characterized black people who disagreed with him as “yellow ------s" and called white people “crackers.” After the car in a prominent Hasidic rabbi’s motorcade jumped a curb in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn and killed a 7-year-old black boy in 1991, Mr. Sharpton referred to the neighborhood’s Hasidic Jews as “diamond merchants.” In 1995, he referred to a Harlem businessman who wanted to expand his store into a space that had been occupied by black-owned business as a “white interloper.”

so, "perfecting our union", what the heck is that supposed to meen? Transformation of some kind-into what? The soivet union? Cuba?

[Danaus29]

Do you mean Al Sharpton, the racist pig who encourages black people to hate all white people and black people who have "gone white" while complaining about racial tension?

[no really]

Sharpton is just another slave master, he needs to keep the blacks down to make his coin.

Good attention or bad attention. its all attention and it all equals dollars in his pocket.

Why bother to post the guys name in a forum that will be indexed by google and raise the popularity and awareness of this scamming religious leader?

You obviously don't like the guy, but you just put money in his pocket. LOL

Ignoring a public figure like you would ignore an ant on the ground is the most damaging thing you can do to them.

Actually I think there was another term for him. House something or another. Can't recall.

He is the liberals chosen Judas goat. A disgusting creature.

I remember hearing a lady on the radio, she was told by her black leaders that "------ will keep you down, they will persecute you," so when she went to college she was ready to do battle with ------, she found that the other white students didn't care whether she got ahead or not, they were worried about their grades, their boy or girl friends, and so on then. She realized that what she was told all her life was wrong, and that these ministers focused negative attention on others to unify and keep their black parishioners focused on them as their saviors, so they could have power. How many countries create an enemy so their people can focus on them and unify the nation. We did it to the Germans and the Japanese in WW2, The Germans did it to the Jews, We have done it to the American Indians, and the Mexican Spanish in that war. It is all about power and money, it always has been.

So I guess what we need is an emoticon showing the south side of a north-bound horse that we can use in place of his name. This way we will all know to whom one is referring and at the same time not put money in his pocket.

You know what he meant.

Well, he probably meant that .......... you know, I'm not sure. If he meant that people dropping bombs on us were not treated with due respect for their natural human rights........ or that it is necessary to vilify those you wish to kill.......... or that we would have not responded to bombs with war unless whipped into a frenzy by some conspiracy seeking power.........

Nope, comes down to it, I don't know what he means.
