Not being able to 'stand' someone should always be a red flag. Attitude like that doesn't grow on trees, but it has roots, so to speak....

The expanded role in black culture for reverends as community leaders dates back to the days when those were the only community leaders allowed to live.

The Brawley affair was crude and dishonest political theater, but it is not all there is to be said about Al Sharpton. It must be observed that he tends to push very different buttons for black and white publics. And he can be very well-spoken and reasonable in his presentation, when he wants to be. I recommend his speech at Michael Brown's funeral as an example. I think he's grown in his role.

I had a therapist say once to me, use the remote. Switch channels or shut it off, and this was not about a TV show. I still follow this advice for the most part, especially for Sharpton I always use the red button.

I have tremendous respect for his bravery...to put himself back out there
after being stabbed in Bensonhurst indicates some balls.

However overtime his value to the aggrieved has been compromised.

Certainly not all there is to be said...certainly all that needs to be said. Very convenient for apologistas on the left to call what happened "political theater." It's not simply that a fraud was perpetrated...people were slandered. That's not theater, that is real life. A civil award against Sharpton was won. It's just too bad that Johnnie Cochran anted up for Sharpton. Seeing a world-class narcissistic liar like Al being hit with a tidy garnishment would have been most satisfying. But why are we surprised that a religious leader from the black community should not be expected to own up. It's not like Jesse ever owned up for "hymies from hymietown" either.

The day I found out he had been hired by MSNBC was the day MSNBC was permanently deleted from our favorite channel list. As far as his speech at the Brown funeral is concerned, Al Sharpton is in no fucking position to be telling America or anybody in America how they oughta be behaving.

Yes, for the lizard-brained among us. Visceral reactions are all that matter, right?

Hmmm....... and why exactly are you not surprised?

So, not going to answer?

I read hereabouts that history has dictated that we shouldn't expect it. So I don't. Thus my lack of any expectation of it. The behavior of Mssrs. Sharpton and Jackson are evidence enough for me.

Sorry about your Vi@gra requirement for achievement of tumescence. It's a damn shame. Not to mention TM-fucking-I.
