NAACP condemns Sharpton...

...for calling for an escalation in civil disobedience.

Civil rights leaders condemn Sharpton's call for escalated civil disobedience | News - Home

Quote:
Thousands of people from across the country joined the NAACP on Saturday for a march and rally in Sanford, the city north of Orlando where Martin was shot and killed last month.
"They will have to make a judgment as to whether they want to follow the mission of the NAACP or follow what the Rev. Sharpton said," Clayton declared before the march.

About bloody time. How conveniently everyone forgets Al Sharlatan's sordid past when he shook down small time black recording artists for the New York mob, threatening them with reprisals from "the man" and staging boycotts of their concerts when they wouldn't pay up.

Never an iota of credibility and a groveling hypocrite like his erstwhile associate and fellow Protozoa, the serial adulterer and father of bastard children, Jesse Jackass.......

If only Sharpton could have sat in for Martin that night...

I don't think we would be having these discussions....

Something tells me that's the furthest thing from what purports to be his mind.

Actually the guy saying all of this is an ex member of the NAACP. He was the leader of the Garland, Texas, chapter.

He is rather well known for his Conservative views and from I have heard has not like The Rev. for quite some time.

The ex-member is now a Pastor himself.

Don't the rules simply call for a "Mea Culpa" and all is forgiven?

Piers is a doofus. He's trying to jack up his relevance. Even his name sounds pretentious.

Yup...probably drinks his tea hot, in a cup, with his pinky finger out, instead of in a tall glass with ice cubes.

I have to wonder if Sharpton actually believes himself

IMHO Sharp is an over-highly paid Master Clown.

Anytime there is a high profile gig, he gets trotted out.
So into town he rolls..Big Willy style, and starts his harangue.

I cannot help but be distracted from what he is trying to get across..My eyes gravitate to that 1967 pomp combination James Brown/Snoop Dog hair-do, and I just cannot for the life of me take him seriously.

Maybee if he changed his image/appearance..............
