Al Sharpton needs to be silenced. We don’t need a lynching either.
We just need to tell the media we are sick of the guy and please stop putting him on the air. I’m not sure when Al was hired as Tiger Woods’ spokesracist, but he apparently thinks that is his job. Al’s latest burst of mouth diarrhea got me thinking about lynchings a little bit. I realize most people have only one mental image when it comes to lynchings – an image of a black man hanging from a tree. The truth of the matter is that people of all colors have been lynched over the centuries, by people of all colors.
When Al Sharpton tries to claim ownership of lynchings on behalf of American blacks he is distorting reality. Even in the United States during slavery and Jim Crow laws, 20% of lynching victims were white. Why do I have to keep hearing from Al? I feel zero guilt for the institution of slavery and I have zero responsibility to pay for the problems of black Americans.
While I do have an interest in improving the lives of Americans everywhere, regardless of their color, Al Sharpton is only interested in improving his own lot in life. He has done nothing to make America a better place to live, except for himself.
