I used to like Al Sharpton. The turning point, I think, was ofter Barrack Obama began running for president, and ole Al began questioning his blackness. I am not an Obama supporter, but race has nothing to do with it, and it shouldn't. I think Al is trying to retain what little political relevance he's had with stunts like the Don Imus fiasco and now this. This isn't about blacks not being served in certain restaurants or being told where to sit on the bus. Its about white people using their freedom of speech (albeit tasteless and racist, but freedom of speech all the same) and blacks retaliating with violence. I have absolutely no tolerance for violence no matter what your color or reasons. The people marching in Jena should be spending their time camping in front of the White House trying to end an immoral war in which soldiers of all colors are currently dying in vain.
