Black Power we can use Al Sharpton as an example ramping the Imus screw up on the air.

Sharpton still not happy. Imus they say will be back on the air in September but you can bet the black power of Sharpton may dictate the type of contract that Imus must follow. Sharpton should shut up the matter has been delt with and settled but the black power is still not happy. This race card is often played out for agendas only.  

This is what you get when you cross a chatterbox with a black man... he doesn't shut the HELL up and plays the race card CONSTANTLY.

Now, I *like* black people very much, scratch that, LOVE them, so watching Sharpton endlessly chat his mouth off about "injustices" and "blah blah blah" so he can run for president again in 20xx tick me off and make me feel sorry for people he claims to be defending. What an arsehat.

You have to be extremely careful when you make statements like that - the way you phrased that could very easily offend people as it almost did me.  You mentioned crossing a chatterbox with a black man... in terms of getting your point across there wasn't a need to mention his race.  He could be caucasian, pacific islander or hispanic and still fight for black rights.

Whilst he does talk a lot... he does get people to stand up and listen.  America's black folk have been downtrodden for four hundred years, and still are today which is why black americans need someone like Al Sharpton.

Sharpton serves no one except -- Al Sharpton. If he was green, he'd be a green guy who was not the annointed representative for other green guys, either.

He sure knows how to play to people's fears, though.

Can we say Sharpton is a.

Person suffering from mental aberrations and disorders, especially one who perceives reality clearly except for his or her own social or moral obligations and seeks instant gratification in  or otherwise abnormal behavior.

Damn, RM. You've just described my last 2 GMs and last 3 PDs!
