The REVEREND’S Racism Rants

Wednesday, June 27th, 2012

Ahhhhh…..

The REVEREND (of what, we do not know) Al Sharpton has imparted upon us his deep thoughts regarding Eric Holder and Fast and Furious.

“As I marched this past Sunday with tens of thousands in New York in opposition to the abhorrent practice of stop & frisk,’ I couldn’t help but think of our attorney general. Tattered down and publicly humiliated, AG Holder has been mishandled just like the young Black and Latino men (and women) who are demonized on our streets everyday.”

“The highest officer of law and order in this nation has been ridiculed, scapegoated and handled as some sort of criminal throughout this ‘investigation.’ Turning over thousands of documents and overextending himself, AG Holder was spoken to and mistreated as if he were a child, and reminded that despite his esteemed position, he can and would be profiled.”

“Not only did Issa and his counterparts never go after previous attorneys general or the Bush Administration itself, but they continue to treat AG Holder as if he is indeed guilty of the most egregious crime. It is the same sort of tactic we see utilized against the hundreds of thousands of innocent individuals stopped and searched by police. They have no weapon, haven’t committed an offense, yet somehow ‘appear’ as a culprit.”

Yes…according to the REVEREND (of what, we do not know) Al Sharpton…the victim in the Fast and Furious operation is…Eric Holder.

And WHY is Eric Holder the victim?

The Race to Cash in on Racism

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping
the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before
the public. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his
grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs. There is a
certain class of race-problem solvers who don’t want the patient to
get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only
an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through
which to make themselves prominent before the public..”

Quote by: Booker T. Washington
(1856-1915) African American political leader, educator and author
Date: 1911

Seer, Soothsayer?

A man with an all too uncommon sense of common sense?

Booker T. Washington was not only right, he was foretelling the future.

In the wake of the Trayvon Martin “event” in Florida, we now have a plethora of fools trying to cash in on the tragedy.

Booker T. may as well have been talking directly about Jesse Jackson and/or Al Sharpton. These guys, and others like them, are tragedy chasers. They run hither and yon, hop scotching about the country, and occasionally overseas, attaching themselves to one tragic event after another but…only where the victims look like them, from a distance.
