Al Sharpton is a racist. Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X he is not.
You cannot advocate for the rights of your own race while turning around and taking opportunities to speak in public forums about how bad you think the white man is. Can’t have it both ways.
You messed up your links, but I went and looked up the URLs anyway. It was pretty weak sauce. Undated descriptions of events and some short, undated, out of context quotes.
I’m going to go ahead and assume most of the quotes were from a long time ago. People evolve, and we should let them. Malcolm X did too, before he was assassinated. I’ve seen a lot of evidence that Sharpton isn’t racist based on his recent appearances, but not much evidence to indicate he is, and of what I’ve seen here, it was probably from a long time ago since all the references are devoid of context.
Oh so we’re in an age where we shame people for 10+ year old twitter statuses and cancel them. But because a black guy said some things then you decide it’s undated? Double standards, much?
Dude, I don’t give a shit about your crusade or Al Sharpton. Your links were weak and now you’re mad that one of the few people who actually took the time to read and comment on them wasn’t cornered into sharing your opinion. Sorry. It’s like the 10,000th most important priority right now. Maybe take a look around.
Linking a ten year old article about someone to judge what their doing now seems a bit off. If he’s such a racist is there any proof that isn’t a decade old?
Yeah you guys can play the selective game all you want. It’s hypocritcal that you’re the same people who probably cancel others for years old twitter statuses, but because a black man said racial things, then it’s a different outcome? Where’s the consistency?
Wow, right to making assumptions to justify yourself. Assuming I am for cancelling people at all (I’m not, it’s stupid), and assuming I don’t want to cancel him because he’s black (who cares about race like this, it’s telling that is the first thing you jumped to though).
Is this how you from opinions and world views? Just strong baseless assumptions then accusations based on those assumptions, really?
What is racist about what you quoted? Help me understand.

Oh, we got some people who don’t think so?

Now try and tell me he isn’t a racist. I’ll take downvotes as admission of guilt.
