Al Sharpton and before him Jesse Jackson, created their careers on racism. They have stoked division and kept the concept of systemic racism alive because it was a revenue stream they needed to satisfy their greed. There has never been a racially-centered event in my lifetime where one or both of these men were front and center. They profess to be men of the holy cloth, but in reality, they are men of the bloody cloth. Give them a crisis, a shooting victim, or any event that involves people of two colors, and Al is on the horn getting his first-class tickets. You can always find him front and center at the memorial service but rarely at the conference table, working on solutions. Solutions do not have the impact of an emotional eulogy.
You will rarely see The Good Reverend Al in Chicago speaking out against Black-on-Black violence because the Windy City does not fit his narrative. He is only interested in black victims of white acts. Sharpton has his platforms on MSNBC and his National Action Network. He could use these platforms to educate the Black and Brown communities, but spawning hatred is far more profitable.
Al was present at the service this week for Jordan Neely, who died in a New York subway car after being subdued by a rider who saw him as a threat to the passengers in the car. The case is still under investigation, but that did not stop Al from using his time in the spotlight to condemn Marine veteran Daniel Perry. Sharpton is playing judge and jury to placate the black community in Harlem, demanding justice for Neely.
Sharpton is a dangerous man, and this is the perfect time for a man with his reach and talents to start defining how he will impact the 2024 elections. Communities like Chicago, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Los Angeles are at a boiling point. The Blacks and Browns are feeling maligned by the Whites, but they are also being squeezed for services by the illegal migrants who are transported from the Border to these major cities. This crisis is the perfect storm for Sharpton to stoke the flames of racism.
Systemic Racism in America is a myth. It is also a tool used to leverage power, and Al is a master at keeping the aura of racism alive. He feeds on it and parses it to his flock. In 2020, Al jumped on the Reparations Bandwagon and used it as a litmus test for the Presidential candidates. As the movement for reparations has intensified, you can count on Al Sharpton to work it locally and nationally. He will probably join forces with Cori Bush (D-MO) and her drive for a national plan to address reparations. The Bush plan has a price tag of $16 Trillion, but that means nothing on the Left. Just throw it on the tab and stop whining.
Blacks should see through this ruse. Reparations, like Student Loan Forgiveness, is an empty promise to garner votes. Gavin Newsom formed the Reparations Committee in California, and when they came back with their recommendations, he squashed it, but it had already paid dividends. The reparations carrot was dangled in front of Blacks before the 2022 election, and it paid off with votes cast for Democrats. It may work in 2024, but that carrot must be dipped in chocolate to work again.

So true Ray. As far as I am concerned, Al Sharpton, Ben Crump should be arrested for inciting violence. Both men use racism to pad their pocketbooks and use the white boogeyman to further their agenda’s. Ben Crump is a disgusting ambulance chaser but only if the person in the ambulance is black. It amazes me how black people cannot see how the government and those two hypocrites are taking advantage of them. I grew up in the era of the 1960’s and what the blacks of today call racism, the blacks of the 1960’s would have been elated with compared to the real racism they experienced! The blacks of today can’t see that the government wants a breach and division so they can do what they want and steal our freedoms while stirring the pot of racism. I fear, if the blacks do what they did in 2020, it will be different this time. If they push out to the rural areas with violence, there will be strong resistance and mass bloodshed on whites and blacks. Communist China would be elated by this. And further their agenda by dividing this great nation. Only God almighty can help us now if people would turn to him and cry out to him! Like the old Sunday school song says, “red and yellow, black and white; they are precious in his sight, Jesus loves the little children of the world!” And with the influx of illegals, who knows what we are getting in this country. The 9/11 terrorist strike on this country pulled people together because no matter the color, we had a common enemy. I believe that is coming. And it may be the only thing that buries racism in this country!
Anyone with half a brain knows that reparations is the most inane and idiotic proposal ever formulated by the race baiting Marxist Democrats but most people are greedy and uneducated. Just like they were stupid and ignorant donating 90 million dollars to BLM in 2020 despite the fact that they are openly Marxist and anti-family, anti Christian, race grifters. The Socialist/Communist goal is always to make everyone government dependent and, sadly, we are almost there as 50% of Americans receive some form of government assistance and 40% pay no taxes. Our debt is unsustainable yet the government continues to promise more and more “free stuff” from student loan forgiveness, to illegal mortgage subsidies, to the insane idea of reparations. Of course, the majority of the populace who is indoctrinated and not educated and knows little of world history, will always vote for more “free stuff”. The Coup is almost complete.
As the economy collapses, people will demand more government help which always means more government control and always ends the same. Then we will become just like Venezuela, now Brazil and every other Socialist/Communist country in history. A country of just two classes: 1) The rich politicians in collusion with their crony capitalist oligarchs. 2) The poor masses that will own nothing.
Isn’t racist to pay 1 race & not the other? I no longer understand how these different agencies, schools & other tax taking organization can do things for 1 race & exclude other races. I just heard on the news there is a class at a tax taking college for only black students & no whites are allowed. If this was reversed it wouldn’t be allowed. Can anyone answer how that is legal &/or constitutional?
