June 19th, 2008But so were Martin Luther King, the NAACP, Rev. Jesse Jackson and a host of others.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who’s fighting accusations that he’s been “shaking down” corporate America, isn’t the first civil rights leader to be accused of extorting money from businesses. Read more at BET.com/News.

U people are so sick when it comes to the black man. It seems as if you will do and say anything you can to try and bring us down but I am here to tell you, it is a new day. How can you make such harsh statements about our foreleaders that has got us so very far from the cotton picking days. It is time for us to stand up and take control of our lives and stop letting the white man “try” and control what we do. They are the ones who got us in this hectic situation now. Look at all of our past presidents, Bush, Clinton, Roosevelt and Reagan, all are coward criminals themselves. I personally do not care if Al did it or not. I hope he did so that this can be the beginning of us taking back from the harsh realities of this world. Sound bad…………I know. U white people made me this way
Rev. Sharpton has not shaked down anyone, he shook them up and they need it.
They were found to be wrong and they were given a chance to redeem themselves.
End of comment
reading the full article i do not think that he is guilty of anything, i agree that white americans have been doing this for years, if he wants to call a boycott for certain products because of racial injustice i agree with the cause, but it is up to that company to take immediate action to rectify the problem and just like corporate america they solve it with money, if they do not they can lose valued business. this sounds like another conspiracy to bring down a black leader.
UMlaw(aka)buckeyelawstudent:
I notice you did’nt comment on the vandalism on the asian church,by racist whites,but yet you comment on the black issues.What is your obsession
with black people you luni-tune.why are you so
intimidated by us “it’s obvious.” You have a right
to post on whatever site you choose, but your obsession with black web site is very luni….
Why don,t you feel a need to post on Asian sites
are you really of asian decent or a white male
who love asian culture and live in the seattle area …but I guess when your crazy and obsess with somthing there no reasoning………..
The goverment under the guildance of the late J Edgar Hoover has been using these dirty tactic since the day’s of Dr. King.The crooked people who accuse him, will be the crooked people investagating him hmmmmmmm. Do you think for one moment the the goverment won’t doc up false documents,the government want the good old Rev.Sharpton silence at any cost….
UMlaw,
I see your effort to make what you feel is a unbias comment. But If it is true your white, then you can NEVER IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT IT IS TO BE BLACK IN AMERICA. NEVER – NO, NOT EVEN A BOOK, OR ALL THE BLACK MOVIES EVER MADE – NEVER, NO NOT THE BLACK FRIENDS YOUR THINKING OF NOW. No matter how much you sample black culture, the world doesn’t see skin of color on YOU. So coming into a black forum to preach fairness is your whiteness trying to reason that you know & understand the black American experience. That because you “think’ you understand, we should listen to your opinion about fairness with black and white issues. But what your whitewashed mind doesn’t inform you is every person here is commenting from a life time of experiences having skin of color. being blessed with the greatest DNA in the world, gave us our skin color. But having to experience direct and indirect hatred and prejudice ALL OUR LIFE because of yall fear and ignorance, creates life experience unlike any other race. So respectfully brother < in human terms) I ask that you STFU with all that trying to teach someone what is fair.
POWER TO MY PEOPLE
New Black Panther: instead of stating the obvious that i cannot know what it is to be black (you cannot know what it is to be asian), why don’t you counter my comments??? You don’t even mention anything about what i said. I am not Black…i don’t know what it’s like…obviously. I don’t know what it’s like to be a horse either.
But I have valid points…points that doesn’t require me being Black to make. Discussion.
New Black Panther: You recapitulate that perfectly

web sites, he has an need to feel our black present,so take anything he say with a grain of salt….also he is insecure and need to tell people how smart he is and how well he do in life “yeal right luni-tune”…..
To whom it may concern;Al Sharpton there are two way to look at an alleged shake down did it happen or not.I have heard that certain thing the public say it’s a shake down. I say that he goes an fight until the money is out,then he is out.But on the other had he does try to stand up for people rights but if you are Charging a person a fee to help fight for justice, You are not helping the person.You are making your pockets bigger I pray that Mr Sharpton will be on the up&up you unless there are fax it is Alleged.(spititout1@yahoo.com)Essie Rerun Berry
Look Crop_Amer has been riping off B.L>K._PeeP as long as we can Remmber When are they going to be Held account albe for What they have done and are still doing?
It’s about personae. Al Sharpton just doesn’t sit easy. His intent is good and that should be recongnized. However, being political means you are aware of you public presents. Al doesn’t seem to get the younger black America. These are different times from the Civil Rights movement.
UMLAW YOU IGNORANT

This has and will always be a ploy to attempt the destruction of someone trying to improve the wrongs in America. Keep up the Good Work Mr. Sharpton. This only mean you have pushed some buttons and reality is slapping them in the face.
Knowledge is POWER. I like that Mr. Sharpton and others are about ( I can show you better than I can tell You ).
