Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are fools. They've shown this for quite some time. Is anyone really surprised anymore at their antics?

The problem is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson never have a problem continuing to incite race into any picture any chance they can get. Regardless, if they are right or wrong. The same goes for the President and this Administration. When all of these folks can tackle the huge problem Chicago or DC has with black on black crime, then I might listen. Until then its what you said. Manufactured rage, and political agendas. I'm mixed, and I find it hypocritical, and downright dishonest. Our so called leaders dont care. They care about the soapbox.

LOL!!
You are saying that the race pimps were done with Zimmerman after the local authorities arrested him???
No.
They urged the NAACP, Federal investigators, and the Department of Justice to get involved.
Here, they are merely 'frowning on such tragedies'.
I can't even take your posts serious anymore, honestly...

The same people that should be highly critical of the needs EVERYONE faces in the inner cities of America.
I can only hope that the soapbox is taken away from do nothing figureheads, panhandling to the media and not tackling the real issues that faces minorities.

Yes.
Because the Black Community has no real leadership, per say. Just a bunch of phony hypocrites.
I would know.

Chicago’s Urban Prep Seniors 100% College-Bound – Again
Urban prep class
*With Chicago in the national spotlight for tragic teen shootings, uplifting news continues to come out of the city’s Urban Prep Academy.
For the fourth year in a row, all seniors from its Englewood campus and the seniors from the inaugural graduating class at its West campus, 167 African-American males, have been accepted to a four-year college or university, the school announced today. [Scroll down to watch a report.]
The student body (85% of Urban Prep students come from low-income families, and many start Urban Prep at least two grade levels behind.) continues to exceed expectations in a city where fewer than 40 percent of African American males finish high school.

So the black community by your definition is entirely determined by a handful who ramble loud enough for long enough and seek the cameras and the publicity? Do you have a large group of individuals confused with a small set of talking heads? It looks as if you're calling every black person in america a phony hypocrite. If this is not what you mean you should be more clear...because, that is how what you wrote reads.

Is Ted Nugent a white figurehead, simply because I can hear him talking from time to time on the news.....is he who I should base my prejudices on the white community on? Or should I remember that it makes no sense to base on and make statements of the quality and character of a large group of people by picking a situotionally suitable few out of a whole bunch

For ever one of these fine souls, there are thousands and tens of thousands with no hope or future. That goes for other minorities, and half the youth here in America.
I work with BBBS, and I see many children that just need guidance, and a tangible hope that they can hold onto.
Its a shame more folks cant just take the time to mentor these children. Its a shame that Parents have given up, or dont even know how to do it. That's the truth Spider........
