Hard Truth said:
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.
 
Definitely A person who exploits what he can for his own self interest. He is a media Mutt

did he care about race relations at one time? probably
does he still? maybe
do they REALLY matter to him? IMO not unless he can get fame and attention from them
 
Sharpton is a con man, a manipulative POS who exploits every racial tragedy for his own goals and profit. He's a thoroughly despicable human being.
 
The person who has done more to create racial animosity than any other with the possible exception of Barack Obama. He became famous for promoting a hoax in the Tawana Brawley scam and has sunk lower every year since. Thank God the people of Charleston had the good sense to keep him out. He fits beautifully in the cesspool known as MSNBC. It would make a good debate as to whether Sharpton drags MSNBC down or vice versa.
