"Racial Baggage"

[Zam-Zam]

Rev. Al weighs in on the Democratic field:

Sharpton said Bloomberg should not get a "pass" on the issue and he will have to do something to "repair the damage" beyond making speeches and apologies. He said Bloomberg must put forth a "criminal justice initiative" of some kind aimed at those who were "scarred" by stop and frisk.

He then turned to the other candidates and called on them to also address their records on criminal justice and minorities.

"I also, Mika, don’t want to see him as a leaf that the other candidates dump some of their racial baggage. ... I want to know what Bernie’s gonna say about the vote he did for the [1994] crime bill, where people went to jail.

"No matter his reason for voting for it, it was a law that incarcerated people. Joe Biden wrote it," he said, adding that Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., is now facing questions for her prosecution of a 16-year-old black male.

An Associated Press investigation into the 17-year-old case uncovered new evidence and myriad inconsistencies, raising questions about whether the teen was railroaded by police in the death of an 11-year-old girl by a stray bullet.

"All of them have racial baggage," he added.

Isn't Sharpton dead yet?

Isn't Sharpton dead yet?

Still with us, and still in the news from time to time/

Sharpton is trying to lay low. He owes a massive back tax bill that would have put most people in prison for Tax evasion.

If he's trying to lay low, appearing on television to offer political analysis is a funny way to go about it.

Granted, it was MSNBC.....

Ah, the King of Race Baiting is back and sounds as if anti-DNC and as posted the multi-$millions he owes in back taxes may now come to the forefront and bite him in the azz...…...cool


Surely blacks will not fall for the "I'm sorry now" bullschiff.

The Democrat candidates have always had to bow low and kiss Sharpton's ring to get his blessing of "legitimacy" on their campaigns. This year will be no different.

Bloomburg is no worse than Impeached president trump in Any category. Apparently no one cares but the media and the opposition.

Didn't see Warren in that list .

Now please do not make a racial or ethnic slur when you address this post.


Also remember how genetic testing is advertised

There appears to be some truth in that:

For Democrats, all paths to the White House run through the House of Sharpton

Reporting from New York —
A glimpse at the guest list for the Rev. Al Sharpton’s confab here this week would surely astonish any New Yorker arriving in a time machine from the 1980s. Every major Democrat who has launched a White House bid has cleared their schedule to get in front of the Reverend.
