Is the Rev. Al Sharpton a racist?

So you seem to be implying that if a white man were to get pissed at the racial hypocrisy and the blind eyes, that he's suffering from "angry white man syndrome??

How about "angry black man syndrome," like Al Sharpton?

What about it? No one is claiming Sharpton is a good guy, nor that he does not race bait, nor that he does not play racial politics. What people have pointed out is that words have meanings. What you have failed to do is show in any way that Sharpton actualy fits the defintions of racist, nor have you made any effort to do so.
 
You still have not shown how Sharpton is a racist. Hint: look at definitions of the word, then try and apply it.

If we're going to use that definition, then people like Michael Savage, Newt, Rush, and others are probably not racist. If Al, Jesse, and Louis are treated in such a way, then so should the other three.
 
“White folks was in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

Al Sharpton

Holy ****, guess what: I never claimed they where.

Only partisan hacks call them racist? So why all the concern? I have defended Limbaugh more times than I care to remember as not being racist, sexist maybe, but he is no racist.
 
(1)That would not be true and you know it.



(2) What white man is saying things like Al Sharpton? Point to an example? Or are you assuming?



Then don't be a partisan hack? :shrug:

(1) You're making no sense.

(2) Let's take Michael Savage for example. He may be as much a racial stirrer as Al, yet he's typically considered a racist by liberals.

(3) I am no partisan hack and you know it.

If Al is not a racist along those lines, then we need to fix the mistakes of recklessly calling certain white people "racists," when they were merely "race-baiting." That would scratch off quite a few white people from the list.

I'll agree with your litmus test, if you acknowledge that it should be applied fairly to white people as well, who are currently accused of being racist.
 
“White folks was in caves while we was building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

Al Sharpton



That golden throated Al Sharpton quote sure fits the definition.... or was this part of a comedy act?
 
Holy ****, guess what: I never claimed they where.

Not you, but many other liberals.

One need only look at a YT video of any of those people, and they'd be slammed as racist judging by the comments.

You are typically the exception, in that you usually don't jump on the bandwagon that other liberals do.
 
Earlier I said if the white man did the same as Al, but demonized black people, like Al does white people.

If a white man said that America is infested with hateful black people, guess who gets called a racist? Yet if Jesse or Al say the same about white people, well, we'll just sweep that under the rug because that's acceptable.
There's so much wrong with this quote in the context of this thread that I don't have the patience to point it out.
 
A question to those who disagree with me:

“Black folks were in caves while we were building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”

IF a white man said this, would you think he was a racist?

I just want to see how clear your sense of equality is.

And once again you are avoiding the issue. You claimed Sharpton was a racist. You failed to show how he fits the definition. When confronted, you tell other people what they need to do. What makes it funny is I know both BD and I do call out people on both sides for stupidly applying the racist label. By your own standards here, since you are only worried about liberals calling people racist, you are a hypocrite.

If that's all you can say, well, oh well.

That is bogus.

There are also quite a few conservatives that I think are potentially racist, or at least race-bait.

Do not call me a hypocrite when you don't know me so well.

Nobody called you a racist :roll:

I did not call you a racist, simply pointed out that in this thread you have only been worried about what liberals do and applied your standard to it.
 
(1) You're making no sense.

I am making perfect sense. You seem to be the only one who can't understand what others are saying. What does this tell you?

(2) Let's take Michael Savage for example. He may be as much a racial stirrer as Al, yet he's typically considered a racist by liberals.

Yes some liberal partisan hacks call him racist, so what?

(3) I am no partisan hack and you know it.

I think you are, but that's just me. Don't take it personal.

Here we go again. We don't need to fix anything. I know a real racist when I see one and that is good enough for me. I don't really care what others think outside of correcting false perceptions in debate on this board.

I'll agree with your litmus test, if you acknowledge that it should be applied fairly to white people as well, who are currently accused of being racist.

Acknowledge? What? Please point out anyplace at all on this board I have said anything even remotely close to what you are implying in that I need to acknowledge it? You can't you see? That is political hackery at it's finest.

Youtube videos?????

your basing all of this, on videos on YT?????

what the hell man.
What else is he going to base it on? All the summers in Georgia growing up with Al and spending time with him and his family during the Civil Rights era? :roll:

Why did this word change? Well, it said "racist" before and nobody called you a racist. I think it's time to check yourself before you wreck yourself.
