Shades of 1987? Never one to be the least bit shy about searching out a reason to get in front of the nearest television camera or microphone, we once again have that well-known faux preacher, celebrity racer baiter and MSNBC host, Al "Bull Horn" Sharpton, out there doing his best to rile up the black community, this time in Sanford, Fla. "Bull Horn's" appearance comes in the wake of the killing of 17-year-old student Trayvon Martin. “Some people said to me in the media — ‘Let me get this straight,’ they said. ‘Reverend, it seems like there’s a lot of people who are angry — are you afraid of violence?’” Sharpton preached to the central Floridian crowd. “I said, ‘No. I’m afraid of the violence you already had.’” “Violence is killing Tray Martin,” Sharpton continued. “Don’t act like we are the ones [who are] violent. We didn’t shoot nobody.” Let's face it, Sharpton lives for violence, and is a skilled practitioner of inciting violence and using it for his own purposes. And I find it hilarious that there remains anyone who still calls him "Reverend.”
Anyway, despite the incendiary tone of his customary rhetoric, old "Bull Horn" Sharpton warned the thousands of those in attendance at his little gathering, to avoid resorting to violence at all costs as the Martin case progresses. And in attempting to portray himself as being something other than what he is, a psychopathic opportunist, Sharpton bellowed, “I want our people to understand that how you behave is going to be a reflection on this case.” Sharpton instructed the crowd, “No matter how angry we get, don’t let them make you act in a way that they will say, ‘see, that’s what to think with Trayvon.’” Adding, “We are going to act intelligent.” Sharpton said, “We going to act dignified. And, we’re going to be determined. We may be angry, but we’re not mad dogs. We’re too smart to fall for [that].” I'll tell ya what, if these people were so darn smart, then that last guy they would be listening to is this buffoon Sharpton. Because by doing so, they do themselves no favors.
And adding his voice to this chorus of lunacy, we have some imbecilic left-wing radio host, Joe Madison, who I guess fondly refers to himself as the “Black Eagle”. He spoke about how he thinks the shooting of Martin is a sign of overt racism. “In America, we are culturally conditioned to believe that white is superior, black is inferior,” Madison said. “The manifestation of that cultural valuing is that black people are undervalued, underestimated and marginalized.” Madison alleges that this incident was a “hate crime” and said that he, Sharpton, and the others who came to the rally, did so to “protect” other young men in Sanford and elsewhere. “And, let me say something to these Republican candidates, if I might,” Madison added. “Don’t you ever, ever say again that there aren’t any role models in America.” What a bunch of racist garbage. Such language sadly proves that if racism is alive and well in these United States, then it has as its home, the black community.
Sounding like someone straight out of the 1940s or 50s, this moron Madison went on to say that he and the others came to “protect” Mickey Mouse, another “very important citizen of Florida.” “A little black fellow that wear white shoes, and he’s got big ears,” Madison said, describing the classic cartoon character whose creator’s theme park, Walt Disney World, is mere miles away from Sanford. “Hell, if he had been wearing a hoodie, he would have got shot,” Madison said. “Mickey Mouse would have been shot.” Ya know, this type of idiotic drivel really serves no useful purpose. And by his making such an idiotic comment, I can only surmise that this moron is out to do nothing more than to use this incident as an opportunity to up his ratings. And hey, what works better that screaming racism? And as with the case of Sharpton, I think it shows a certain shallowness, as well as a definite lack of any moral character to use such an event to further one's own career.
And yet another left-wing kook radio host, some clown named Mark Thompson who I guess is on Sirius radio, had to go all the way back to 1955 before being able to come up with he apparently thought was a similar incident, and that could also be compared to the Martin case of today. That was an incident involving Emmett Till. Apparently Till was a 14-year-old black teenager killed in Mississippi after allegedly flirting with a white woman. Like Martin, Till was only visiting the area he was killed in and, like Martin, Till was not identified for three days. “We have seen this before,” Thompson arrogantly declared on stage in his attempt o make some comparison between Till and Martin. “This is racism perpetrated by violence. And where you have racism perpetrated by violence, one of the result of that is that African American adults in general are infantilized and black men are emasculated.” But what this hypocrite seems to ignore completely is the fact that it's the left in this country that has done the most damage to the black community, on any number of levels.
Sharpton and these supposed radio personalities are really quite the band of pathetic individuals. All they have really done here is to essentially commandeer the grief shared by this entire community for their own selfish purposes. Hoping to somehow personally benefit from the stirring up of as much anger and hatred as possible. And why is it always clowns like this who are portrayed as being the voices of the black community. Wouldn't that same black community be much better served if it were to follow the example set by someone like Rep. Allen West? Here's just a bit of what Rep. West has said about this recent tragedy, "Let’s all be appalled at this instance not because of race, but because a young American man has lost his life, seemingly, for no reason. I have signed a letter supporting a DOJ investigation. I am not heading to Sanford to shout and scream, because we need the responsible entities and agencies to handle this situation from this point without media bias or undue political influences. This is an outrage." Let's see, Rep. West or "Bull Horn", whose the more responsible? Who is more deserving of being listened to?
