Sharpton is very significant as the perfect symbol of uppity black race hustlers to right wingers, which allows them to discredit any cause with his involvement. Poor black people with an issue they are trying to bring to the public's attention appreciate that he publicizes their causes. (even though his involvement hurts their credibility as much as it helps create attention) To everyone else he is insignificant.
Yep, this about sums it up.
It is amusing what a boogeyman he is to most right wingers, yet those same right wing clowns tend to hold race baiters like Limbaugh and Donald Trump in high regard.
