Al Sharpton - Reverend or Instigator?

I think the title says it all, don't you?



Where to begin? I've been listening to this man for years now. Well, that is not true either. I read more about what he says than actually sitting there listening to his rhetoric. As soon as I hear him, it reminds me of listening to someone pulling a record album off the player without moving the arm and you get that loud scratch against the needle. He makes a vein appear in my forehead.



This is supposed to be a man of the cloth. He is supposed to be preaching God's Word. What does he do? He gets out there and he politicizes everything but his main focus is the tyranny of the white caucasians against African-Americans. He looks for every possible incident and blames the white race. Now, who is prejudice against whom?



This man should be arrested for inciting riots. This man should be arrested for putting his nose in places where his nose has no right to be. This man should not be a representative for anyone. How diplomatic is he? How righteous is he? Do you really want him to negotiate for you? You may get what you want but you won't gain any new friends out of it.



If that man has a non-profit organization it better not be tax exempt. He is so political and so inciteful, he should be taxed for any donation he ever receives.



No, I am not an African-American. No, I was not born in the 1800s. No, I never owned any slaves and I never would. Would I give a job to an African-American? The real question is would I give a job to anyone? Yes, I would but with the condition that they are qualified, trained and able to do the job properly. There is no free ticket. There should be no free ticket. If someone told you, "Oh, your grades are not up to par and you have not really been trained in this but we have to make our diversity quota so you have the job.", would you want to work for someone who doesn't think that you are capable? Don't you think you should be capable?



What happens if someone was to work on your car that doesn't know how to do it but got the job because of a diversity quota. Well, your car may not get repaired properly. It may get repaired properly but over a long period of time. It may get repaired properly but it takes two people to do it, one to assist and the other to actually do the work. Is any of this efficient? Is any of this good customer service? I bet you Al Sharpton would want his car, whatever he drives, to be in perfect working order and complete in a certain amount of time. Of course, he deserves special treatment because he is Al Sharpton.



When are we going to realize that people like this are seeking attention so that they can make money. They are not out to help you. They are out to help themselves. The by product of their goal may be helping you but their real goal and their real intention is fame, fortune and power. The media eats this up. The media dives right on this because somehow this guy became famous. Somewhere he became an expert on something. As far as I am concerned he is an expert of spittle coming out of his mouth from yelling so much.
