Sharpton to NFL: Cancel HOF game

You are just nuts. You really don't get what our leanings are, do you?

 

Why are we getting worked up about whatever this fake says?

 

Because there is nothing to what he says and yet it goes unchallenged.

 

Ask her.

And if she's near a Walgreen's, tell her Ben needs a pill.

 

Give an example of his participation in some form violence. But if you're wating for the press to put the spotlight on the African American community doing something positive, I'd advice you to get yourself a really comfortable chair to sit on, because it's going to be a long wait.

 

I don't get the Ben reference.

 

Let's go through this very slowly:

Markvid, I saw your critical remarks about Sharpton. Sarcastically, I suggested Hillary saw them too and that (sarcastically thinking again), she backed off of that (sarcastic) thought of asking Al to be her running mate in order to win her over to the black vote that some people suspect will turn on the party if Obama doesn't get the nomination.

 

Because Ben seems to be stressed out?

 

From Wikipedia:

Crown Heights Riot

For more details on this topic, see Crown Heights Riot.

The Crown Heights Riot began on August 19, 1991, after a car driven by a Jewish man, and part of a procession led by an unmarked police car, went through an intersection and was struck by another vehicle causing it to veer onto the sidewalk where it accidentally struck and killed a seven-year-old Guyanese boy named Gavin Cato and severely injured his cousin Angela. Witnesses could not agree upon the speed and could did not agree whether the light was yellow or red. One of the factors that sparked the riot was the arrival of a private ambulance which, on the orders of a police officer worried for the Jewish driver's safety, removed the uninjured driver from the scene while Cato lay pinned under his car.[34] Cato and his cousin were treated soon after by a city ambulance. Caribbean-American and African-American residents of the neighborhood rioted for four consecutive days fueled by rumors that the private ambulance had refused to treat Cato.[34][35] During the riot blacks looted stores,[34] beat Jews in the street,[34] and clashed with groups of Jews, hurling rocks and bottles at one another [36] after Yankel Rosenbaum, a visiting student from Australia, was stabbed and killed by a member of a mob shouting "Kill the Jew."[37] Sharpton, who arranged a rally in Crown Heights after Cato's death,[34] has been seen by some commentators as inflaming tensions by making remarks that included "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house"[38] and referring to Jews as "diamond merchants."[39]

Sharpton marched through Crown Heights and in front of "770", shortly after the riot, with about 400 protesters (who chanted "Whose streets? Our streets!" and "No justice, no peace!"), in spite of Mayor David Dinkins' attempts to keep the march from happening.[40]

Freddie's Fashion Mart

In 1995, a black Pentecostal Church, the United House of Prayer, which owned a retail property on 125th Street, asked Fred Harari, a Jewish tenant who operated Freddie's Fashion Mart, to evict his longtime subtenant, a black-owned record store called The Record Shack. Sharpton led a protest in Harlem against the planned eviction of The Record Shack.[41][42][43] Sharpton told the protesters, "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business."[44] On 1995-12-08, Roland J. Smith Jr., one of the protesters, entered the store with a gun and flammable liquid, shot several customers and set the store on fire. The gunman fatally shot himself, and seven store employees died of smoke inhalation.[45][46] Fire Department officials discovered that the store's sprinkler had been shut down, in violation of the local fire code.[47] Sharpton claimed that the perpetrator was an open critic of himself and his nonviolent tactics. Sharpton later expressed regret for making the racial remark, "white interloper," and denied responsibility for inflaming or provoking the violence.[12][48]
