I really disagree with John on this one. I am originally from NY and once ran into Sharpton many years ago in Harlem. His mannerism was that of an intelligent thug albeit, admittedly, it was many years ago. He has mellowed with age but consistently fails to present both sides of an argument related to black socio-economic, cultural, issues, and places no responsibility on black people in today's America to focus on self-responsibility, the acquisition of skills, education and the reunification of fathers in the home. Where is that message being touted by the race hustlers?
Frankly, I had no intention of watching the funeral, with all due respect to the family, as I anticipated it would be a clown show featuring the usual cast of characters. I, too, was horrified at the very suggestion that Ben Crump, a rambling, incoherent, ambulance chasing Step-in-Fetchit is Black America's Attorney General. What? I am embarrassed and beyond depressed. Thank God for Glenn, John, and other free thinkers that have climbed the mountaintop, looked over, and realized that there is no one to save us but ourselves.
