Because this sure doesn’t sound like the Sharpton we’ve come to know and hate. [http://www.wgrz.com/news/news\_article.aspx?storyid=49724](http://www.wgrz.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=49724) > Activist Rev. Al Sharpton made a stop in Buffalo Monday. He spoke bluntly about the changes he wants to see in the African American community, especially the younger generation. > > “We act like, if a young person studies, speaks well and wants to be something, they’re acting white,” Sharpton told the Buffalo crowd. WHAT? You’re not blaming whitey on the problems you face in today’s society? Who are you, and what have you done with the real Al? ---

Heh. Yeah, I heard a few sound bites on the news last night. It really didn’t sound like he was playing the victimization card. :tup: ---

There is nothing insulting to white people there coming from Sharpton. All he’s saying is that the problem with ghetto culture is that they look down on the very ideals that would get them out of the ghetto. ---

[/quote] I said something along these lines in my “racist rant” in another thread and some jokes on this site said I was racist and ignorant. Or they didn’t really have an opinion and just put up a :picard: to try to be baller. I can imagine that a few people on this site think Sharpton must be working for the white power groups now. ---
