To commemorate Martin Luther King’s “I have a Dream” speech 57 years ago, 200,000 Trump-haters showed up for a March on Washington Friday in protest of police violence against Blacks.
The rally was organized and held by race-baiter Al Sharpton. Standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial along side of Sharpton. was none other than Houston’s embarrassing contribution to Congress, Sheila Jackson Lee.
When Jackson Lee addressed the crowd she said:
“We must answer the call of institutional racism … now, today, this attack on us as people of color, who died on the battles of warfare, who have died on the streets for civil rights, it will stop today. We will heal the nation, but we will not stop until the nation knows Black lives matter and reparations are passed as the most significant civil rights legislation of the 21st century.”
Ah, another call for reparations .
Jackson Lee Lee has no problem standing alongside a charlatan with a very sordid past. Sharpton was an unofficial adviser to President Obama with an open invitation to the White House during the Obama presidency.
Sharpton also gave the eulogy at George Floyd‘s funeral in Houston. His eulogy was mostly an attack on President Trump whom he accused of showing indifference over Floyd’s death, and sending police a signal of impunity.
Sharpton is held in high esteem, but most people are not aware of his sordid past.
Here is the real Al Shrpton:
Sharpton rose to fame in 1987 by stoking racial tensions over a rape hoax. A New York teen, Tawana Brawley, falsely accused four white men of raping her in the woods of Wappingers Falls, New York. She claimed, after the assault, the men wrapped her in a feces-covered bag covered with racial slurs. Sharpton and two attorneys charged that officials all the way up to the state government were trying to cover up defendants in the case because they were white. After a lengthy investigation, a grand jury found that the allegations were a hoax.
Then there was the 1991 Crown Heights riot in New York that was led by Sharpton. The riot started after a Jewish driver accidentally struck a young black child. The rioters terrorized that Jewish community for nearly four days, during which 183 people were injured and an innocent visiting Jewish-Australian university student was murdered in cold blood amid cries of ‘Kill the Jew! Kill the Jew!”
The Crown Heights riot caused former Houston police chief Lee Brown to be fired from his New York Police Commissioner’s job.
In 1995, Sharpton turned a non-racial economic dispute into a racial conflict.
The United House of Prayer, a large African-American church, was also a major landlord in Harlem. They raised the rent on Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned clothing store which had operated from the same Harlem location for over 40 years. In turn, Freddy’s had to raise the rent on its sub-tenant, a black-owned record store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensued.
Sharpton showed up and incited a crowd with anti-Semitic outbursts that led to the fire-bombing of Freddy’s which caused the deaths of seven store employees and customers.
And in 2006, there was the case in which three members of the Duke lacrosse team were falsely accused of raping a black woman. Without any facts, Al Sharpton showed up in Durham to declare that these “rich white boys” had attacked a ”black girl,” and he warned that, if arrests were not made immediately, there would be no peace. And just like with Tawana Brawley, it was later proven that the woman had totally invented the story and all charges against the defendants were dropped.
Sharpton should have been imprisoned for inciting the Crown Heights riot and the fire bombing of Freddy’s Fashion Mart.. Instead, this dangerous rabble rouser became the host of a political talk show on MSNBC and an Obama adviser.
So, now a thoroughly discredited race-baiter holds a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial which turns out be an attack on President Trump and the police. Those 200,000 attendees were probably Trump-haters to begin with. You can bet they, along with their families and friends, are a cinch to vote for Biden-Harris. That’s a sizable chunk of the electorate.
“So, now a thoroughly discredited race-baiter holds a rally in front of the Lincoln Memorial which turns out be an attack on President Trump and the police.”
I’m assuming you are talking about She-Jack. I wonder if she’s still looking for the white man in a red pickup for the murder of that little black girl here in Houston? Howie, the whole crowd there that day are race baiters. They are all, every one of them, white hating racists. All of them. And shame on them for helping their young people learn to be racist. It was truly sad to see MLK’s granddaughter there being pimped out to the crowd. I felt bad for her. She was the equivalent of Patty Hearst, being forced to support the SLA.
And not to put a fine point on it but these are your people, if you don’t support Trump. You’re siding with the racist mob. How do you think you’ll fare amongst ‘your’ people if you found yourself confronted by other Trump haters? Did you see what happened to Rand Paul and his wife, as well as the other, less well known Trump supporters who had the sheer audacity to…..try and walk down a public street?
There’s really no middle ground here. Mobs? Jobs? Pick a side.
Whoa there, Bill! You’ve just crossed a red line when you accuse me of “siding with the racist mob.” That’s an uncalled for low blow! Just because I hate Trump, which I really don’t, doesn’t mean that those who attended Sharpton’s rally and other BLM protesters are my people … and you ought to know damn well better than that!
Yes, I’ve said unkind things about Trump. But I’ve also strongly condemned BLM and the white BLM protesters. I’ve ripped into the NFL, Roger Goodell, Colin Kaepernick and the players for disrespecting our flag and country. I’ve condemned the Trump-hating media. I’ve blasted the Democrats for trying to destroy Trump’s presidency. And while I’ve said that Trump was in danger of losing his reelection bid, I have always pointed out that a Biden presidency would be disastrous for our country.
And if you had really read this article carefully, you would know that the “thoroughly discredited race-baiter” is Al Sharpton, not Sheila Jackson Lee as you assumed.
I’ve had some unflattering things said about me in past comments to my posts, but I’ve never taken offense to any of them. Not this time though!
“I’m assuming you are talking about She-Jack.” So, what you’re saying is that you either didn’t actually read the article, or you have the reading comprehension of a cat.
LOL at you folks, the joke whooshes right on over y’all. Of course Sharpton is a race hustler. I was merely pointing out that our own She-Jack is every bit the race hustler, pimp, and race baiter that Sharpton is. She’s a white hating racist. She’s a bad person. For some reason we seem to be afraid to say that. She belongs to an exclusionary racist group that won’t admit whites or Jews, the ‘congressional black caucus.’
She failed to apologize to the white community for falsely accusing a white of murdering the little black girl. She has failed to condemn the murder of little Cannon Hinnant by a black man, and failed to condemn ALL the murders of whites committed by black people. White lives do not matter to racist Sheila, because of course they don’t..
Having said that, accept my apology , Howie, for saying you side with the racist mob. That was an unfair low blow, and I agree you have written against the rracists of blm, nfl, etc. I apologize.
Although I do not believe you were joking as you say, apology accepted.
O/T
Y’all see where the CDC ‘adjusted’ their USCovid death count down to under 10k. All the other thousands had 2 or more contributing factors.
I recall some guy saying this was all bs back in March. He was right.
Huh? What the hell has this to do with the March on Washington or Al Sharpton??
O/T is internet slang for Off Topic, meaning “this doesn’t have much to do with the actual topic, but I want to bring it up because I think it’s important.”
DanMan brings up something important that would seemingly otherwise not be discussed. Only 6% of Wu flu deaths were strictly due to Wu flu. The vast majority of the deaths were from people who had 2 or more OTHER deadly comorbidities. In other words, most of the ‘covid dead’ are people who were ticking self time bombs…..mainly elderly in nursing homes. Mainly people with one foot in the grave anyway. That doesn’t make their deaths less tragic, but we should be able to discuss facts logically. We can emote and mourn the dead without throwing inconvenient facts out of the window.
This directly refutes the OMG, muh Trump killed 180,000 Americans! Where SHOULD DanMan post this information quietly released by the CDC? It doesn’t favor the leftist Branch Covidians who see the virus as their last ditch chance to get rid of Trump by collapsing the economy, so it’s not going to appear on the 6:00 news.
OK … But if the victims with underlying health problems had not come down with COVI-19, they would not have died at the time. So, any way you look at it, they died because of COVID-19.
anyway YOU look at it Howie. Not all of us rely on Yahoo News. An honest person looked at the collection of data and observed there is no other case of an underlying condition being the prime cause of death. Diabetics that die in car crashes are not listed as death by diabetes. But somehow gun shot victims with WuFlu are counted as Covid deaths.
It also has a perverse financial incentive angle in that the more treatment they could lay on victims of WuFlu the better the reimbursement from the government. And a death that normally would be attributed to heart disease shows up as Covid even if the patient was asymtomatic but positive for WuFlu.
From the link below:
‘Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death. The number of deaths with each condition or cause is shown for all deaths and by age groups. For data on comorbidities,’
