All the racism against Al Sharpton is showing in this thread; people simply don't like an assertive black man who talks about black issues. While I will agree that he sometimes gets to cozy with thuggish elements, he is generally a great and effective voice of the black community.
It's racist not to say he is the worst. By virtually any metric, he is the most unscrupulous of the bunch. He abuses the power of religion. He makes himself wealthy off of his poor constituents. He hides from his tax obligations by using tactics that would make Gordon Gekko blush. He is unabashedly racist against white people, and he couldn't care less about the plight of Hispanics. The president refers to his ilk as "professional blacks".
It's time for society to turn these predators away.
