Sharpton: If You Want Black Men To Take Care Of Their Families, Give Them Training And Jobs

Truth Revolt -- Appearing on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday, Al Sharpton centered his focus on the black community and their economic problem, saying if black men are to take care of their families like they are always asked, they need training and jobs.

Sitting with Garner's widow, Chuck Todd mentioned that Mr. Garner had to sell single cigarettes to survive and asked Sharpton his plan to address this "economic hopelessness" in the black community.

Sharpton responded:

"We aggressively -- the National Action Network and the civil rights community -- supported a jobs bill, support infrastructure development. Because when we go and challenge men in our community to say, ‘You’ve got to stand up and you've got to be responsible’ — they need jobs. They need training."

Sharpton finds hypocrisy in Congress killing a jobs bill and then expecting black men to care for their families:

"So at one hand, we can't expand the public sector for jobs. At another hand, they say, well, we're being harassed and treated differently by law enforcement. So we've got to strike a balance that is not in our power to do, which is why we're going at the Congress to make that possible."

You can't kill a jobs bill and infrastructure and then tell men to take care of their families. You can't have it both ways.

Blog author's comments - It appears that quite a few black men are not interested in working and taking care of a family. Why is Sharpton looking at public sector jobs, does he want the government to give the black men jobs? At least 7 of 10 black children are born to single mothers. Welfare and other government handouts, funded by the tax payers, are caring for the mothers and their children. There may be men living with the single mothers, but the majority of them are not employed. There are many black families who are doing well, but so many black mothers and single parent children are struggling.

The black men should have provided their own training by at least completing high school, but Sharpton and other race baiters like him put the blame for what has and is happening in so many black communities on others. Its people like Sharpton who ensure the problems in the black communities are never resolved because they are providing an excuse for so many black men. If a black man doesn't take care of his family, he's a victim. He needs the people in Washington to fix things for him. That is why so many blacks will never rise above where they are today. Many blacks thought Obama was their savior, but in my opinion he has only made the problems worse.

Sharpton: 'There's A Difference Between Robbing And Shoplifting'

Truth Revolt -- In an unabashedly self-referential speech to supporters in Ferguson, MO Sunday, activist and MSNBC news host Al Sharpton pulled out his best James Brown and shouted for justice in the name of Michael Brown.

To the screams of approval of hundreds at a "Unity Rally" at the Greater Grace Church in Ferguson, Sharpton discussed the video released by police showing an alleged "strong arm robbery" conducted by Michael Brown moments before his confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson that led to his death. "There's a difference between robbing and shoplifting," Sharpton proclaimed to a standing ovation of screams and cheers by the capacity crowd.

"I'm no drive-by activist. We'll be here until justice is achieved," Sharpton promised.

"I know they're gonna smear Michael, they may even try to smear the parents," Sharpton said, before turning the attention to himself and the explosive video of the robbery.[...]

"The tape I saw," Sharpton continued. "A young man who may have been shoplifting. There's a difference between robbing and shoplifting."

Blog author's comments - Sharpton knows precisely why Brown was shot, and that's why he drew the attention back to misdemeanor shoplifting. I’m sure it makes sense in his feeble mind. Shoplifters don't assault store employees. First of all, he wasn't killed because of the previous crime he'd committed. He was killed because he attacked a cop. Sharpton, when you physically assault the victim in the process of stealing something that's the very definition of "strong arm robbery." Shoplifting is when you stick something in your pocket and walk out with it.

The only reason Sharpton is in Ferguson, MO is to fuel the fires of racism and incite the looters and thugs as if they need any help from him. At any rate, Michael Brown wasn't shot because of the theft, which the officer didn't even know he was connected to at the time. Sharpton could at least try to sound factual about this if he wants to appear even remotely credible. This is how the left slowly destroys the rule of law and the civil society. No one is held accountable for their unacceptable behavior. Society is deprived of its power and authority to push back against the criminals and thugs who just grow stronger.

Al Sharpton Goes Mainstream, For Gullible Media Only

Bizpac Review -- Al Sharpton has fooled another one.

A Politico piece on Saturday tries to describe the race-baiting shakedown artist from New York as a new man, a different character from the one who launched the Tawana Brawley hoax in 1987 to build a national name on a monstrous lie, different from the man who helped foment the Crown Heights riots of 1991 in New York.

Different even from the MSNBC host who helped lay the groundwork for the current protests over the George Zimmerman acquittal by putting the equally race-baiting attorney for the Trayvon Martin family on his television show to preemptively question whether a jury made up of five white women and a Hispanic woman could judge the case of a Hispanic man shooting to death a black teenager.

“The Rev. Al Sharpton has gone mainstream” is the first line of the piece, headlined "Rev. Al Sharpton's front and center." (See below for column.)

It continues by describing Sharpton as a “moderate” who’s letting more radical elements push the Zimmerman protests forward, it calls him an adviser to President Obama (which, unfortunately, is true), it calls him a “civil rights leader” (which is a meaningless catch-all for any black person with an audience these days), and it quotes an admirer calling him a “voice of calm” (which is manifestly absurd.)

In other words, it’s garbage.

Fortunately, former Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., was available for comment.

“I think he’s taking advantage of whatever a very left-wing media drives people into a frenzy over,” West told the Politico reporter, who apparently didn’t understand what West was getting at – or what media West might have been talking about.

“That’s what he does… He is keeping himself relevant based upon the grievances and hardships of others and really capitalizing on some misguided political priorities …”

West summed it up neatly.

“I think it’s pretty simple. I think he is not the voice of the black community, and the black community needs sincere voices that are going to stand up for the true conditions that are ailing them.”

The rest of the piece is an effort to cancel out what West is saying, but it’s just the simple truth.

As he has over and over again in his career, Sharpton’s just using the Zimmerman case – and the racial hatred he’s fomenting – to benefit himself at the expense of the people he claims to lead.

And as the Politico piece shows, he’s fooled another one.

But not Allen West.

Blog author's comments - To sum this up is quite simple, Al Sharpton is and will always be a race-baiter and the 'Politico' is either 'gullible' or covering for him. Unfortunately many blacks in America will always believe him along with many far left liberals. What Sharpton does is always an attempt to make any racial situation worse than it is. This is what he does best.

President Obama is also guilty of doing his share of dividing the races. The gap between the white and black citizens of our country is much wider since Obama has been the president. I guess his time spent as a community organizer will always be a part of him. In the George Zimmerman - Trayvon Martin case, Zimmerman was found to be not guilty of any crime by the jury, but this has not stopped Sharpton and Obama from attempting to use this case for their own advantage.

I can expect these actions from Sharpton but had hoped Obama would conduct himself as more presidential. He has not. He will use this case to promote his agenda for many of the things he wants to accomplish before he leaves office. And as long as the public continues to hear about Zimmerman, Martin and racism by the media this deflects from the scandals and problems Obama is facing and trying to hide from.

Al Sharpton - In Debt To The Government

More Money, More Problems
Free Beacon -- MSNBC’s Al Sharpton is reeling in debt and back taxes.

The liberal provocateur owes nearly $1 million to creditors and the federal government as a result of his failed bid for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination.

His campaign’s unpaid bills exceed $888,000, according to federal filings.

It is unclear why Sharpton has not paid his creditors. He does not lack for income.

Sharpton has his own primetime talk show on liberal network MSNBC, a platform he used to drive the Trayvon Martin shooting story that rocked the nation and led to the arrest of Democratic neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman.

In August 2011, Sharpton took over the 6 p.m. slot from Keith Olbermann, who earned more than $4 million per year working in the same slot at the network. Sharpton also drew a $240,000 salary from his nonprofit group, National Action Network, in 2011 even as the group racked up nearly $1 million in unpaid federal payroll taxes, interest, and penalties.

NAN has dealt with major finance issues in the last few years. The nonprofit raised $3 million in 2010, and paid off its state back taxes in 2011, but still owed $883,000 in unpaid federal payroll taxes in December. The group also owed more than $200,000 in loans to one of Sharpton’s for-profit enterprises.

Sharpton, who has endorsed President Barack Obama’s calls for taxing the rich, has his own tax issues. He owed the IRS $2.6 million in income taxes in December 2011, as well as almost $900,000 in New York state taxes.

Blog author's comments - Not to worry as the most “transparent” White House ever, I am sure they are on top of this. Does anybody think that Sharpton will hear from the IRS asking for payment of any taxes he owes?

“It is unclear why Sharpton has not paid his creditors. He does not lack for income.” What is unclear? The government is not going to do anything to Al Sharpton and he knows it.

Sharpton is a 'tool' and 'race hustler' for the Obama regime that is attempting to win a second term so Obama can continue with his destruction of America.

Al Sharpton Continues To Pimp For The Left

Let The Character Assassination Games Begin
boortz.com - By Neal Boortz
In case you weren't aware, the war against talk radio has officially begun. Again. At the helm is none other than that corrupt, lying race-pimp Al Sharpton. If the left wants this jerk to be the symbol of their campaign against talk radio, so be it.

Sharpton is launching a full-scale campaign to stifle conservatives heard over the "public's airwaves," and he is starting with the nail that sticks out the furthest: Rush Limbaugh. Earlier in the week, Al Sharpton had this to say on MSNBC .. which, by the way, will no doubt be the station that will champion the cause of stifling conservative broadcasting (because they KNOW they cannot compete with it on the open market place).

"We're not going to stand by and let publicly regulated radio and television just go for marketing and promoting this kind of racism," Al Sharpton said about his campaign to take Rush Limbaugh off the airwaves.

"Rush Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants to say, he does not have the right, though, to do it on publicly regulated airwaves. The FCC has the responsibility to set standards," Sharpton added.

"You can't say -- in the name of free speech, you can't say anything you want," Al Sharpton said on MSNBC. "We're not talking about stopping free speech," he added. "We're not telling Rush don't say what you want to say, say it at home, not on public airwaves," he concluded.

Yesterday we had Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center on the show with us to discuss this new campaign. He says, "This is the beginning of a concerted campaign across the board to knock conservative opinion off the air." Why does Bozell believe they are doing this? Because "they can't debate us anymore," so they've resorted to character assassination.

Bozell points out that they tried the Fairness Doctrine, they tried localism campaigns, and now their latest effort starts with the demonization of Rush Limbaugh. - Entire column > >

Blog author's comments - Al Sharpton is a race baiting fool who has made his living trying to ruin others lives using the tool he knows best -- the race card.

But he is a black member of the Democrat Party so that makes him an okay guy, a perfect fit on liberal news networks like MSNBC or any other network which cannot compete with conservative talk radio. The White House also enjoys this immensely. Limbaugh and others who do conservative talk radio shows give us information that the MSM refuses to even touch upon.

Sharpton has been threatening Rush Limbaugh for the past few weeks and now wants a meeting with the FCC to tell them that they should control what Limbaugh says or remove him from the airwaves because he is a racist. Is that not the pot calling the kettle black?

Let's take a look at some of the racist cases Sharpton has been in the middle of:

1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted and raped by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor who is wholly innocent — the crime never occurred — but Sharpton taunts him: “If we’re lying, sue us, so we can prove you did it.” Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation.

1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin’s funeral he rails against the “diamond merchants” — code for Jews — with “the blood of innocent babies” on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood. A rabbinical student is surrounded by a mob shouting “Kill the Jews!” and stabbed to death.

1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy’s Fashion Mart, Freddy’s white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. Sharpton’s National Action Network sets up picket lines. Some protesters shout, “Burn down the Jew store!” “We’re going to see that this cracker suffers.” One of the protesters bursts into Freddy’s, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.

Sharpton is also a liar, cheat and tax dodger. Overall a good fit for the Democrat Party.

On May 9, 2008, the Associated Press reported that Sharpton and his businesses owed almost $1.5 million in unpaid taxes and penalties. He owed $931,000 in federal income tax and $366,000 to New York, and his for-profit company, Rev. Al Communications, owed another $176,000 to the state.

On June 19, 2008, the New York Post reported that the Internal Revenue Service had sent subpoenas to several corporations that had donated to Sharpton's National Action Network. According to the Post, several major corporations donated thousands of dollars to the National Action Network. The Post asserted that the donations were made to prevent boycotts or rallies by the National Action Network.

On September 29, 2010, Robert Snell of the Detroit News reported that the Internal Revenue Service had filed a notice of federal tax lien against Sharpton in New York City in the amount of over $538,000.

Sharpton is a real piece of work. This is just a small sampling of what he has been doing to promote race relations in America and what he gets away with by somehow skirting the laws that most of us must live by.

Blog author's comments - Al Sharpton accuses Rush Limbaugh of racism, which is quite amusing coming from one who has made a very good living as a professional race-baiter/hate monger for many years. The Rev. has race-baiting down to a science.

Al Sharpton has helped incite an anti-Semitic riot. Don't forget when he condemned the three Duke Lacrosse players without a trial.

Most of us know about his involvement in the 'Tawana Brawley" case. Let's not forget his actions in the 'Crown Heights Riot'. I could continue the list is quite long.

He is not interested in protecting or promoting racial equality, Rev. Al Sharpton is only interested in keeping the racial pot stirred, which he does whenever he has the opportunity. This is what he is doing now with his comments concerning Rush Limbaugh
