Just as saving the lives of black babies is now called racism, the topsy turvy world of black politics now defines a white candidate seeking black votes as an attempt to suppress the black vote.
And that’s not us editorializing, it’s a direct quote from the preeminent arbiter of all things racial, the Reverend Al Sharpton.
Mediaite.com reports the racial revisionism:
Sharpton, who spoke to host Cenk Uygur yesterday, explained his outrage against Gingrich for telling Republicans to “have the courage” to sell their ideas to the most Democratic African-American voting block. Sharpton argued that black people received “disproportionate injury from Republican policy” that was so obvious it was offensive for him to promote those policies at all. In doing so, he argued, Gingrich “assumes that we’re stupid,” or “is trying to throw something out at the media to cover up the fact that his campaign is falling apart.”
Well, yes, the Gingrich campaign is falling apart, but that’s about the only thing Sharpton got right. But hold on just a goldanged minute, because the Reverend hasn’t run out of stupid yet.
Sharpton went further to propose that it was possible that Gingrich was also “hoping to suppress the black vote” by speaking ill of President Obama such that those that voted for him in 2008 and would never vote Republican would simply stay home. That theory aside, Sharpton was still outraged. “The audacity of even saying something like that,” he argued of Gingrich’s attempt to court the black vote, “is something that insults us.” It was not exclusively the idea of a Republican courting the black vote that outraged him, however, but what he perceived as Gingrich’s hypocrisy in using language such as “the food stamp president” and citing President Obama’s “anti-colonial, Kenyan” views in order to, according to Sharpton, court the racist vote as well.
A white politician reaching out to black voters? The audacity! The horror! The outrageosity!
When will those uppity white politicians learn their place in life?

I just received this link from a good friend. It's a short video about the history of blacks and the democratic party.

Morgan Freeman and now Samuel L. Jackson.
It appears to me those who decry racism the loudest exhibit racism the most.
I thought this was a good place as any to post this: http://www.pjtv.com/s/GMZTSMI Liberal Jackasses: Why Big Money Democrats Depend on Racism.
Please share!
Can't Mossad do something about this nut?
I mean....give him a good talking to or something is all I mean...
Al has issues, we all know that, he hates any white anywhere, anytime, and yet he plays the victim card and keeps his own people in a state of prepetual dependence...Why anyone still listens to this idiot or values his opinion is beyond me. like lemmings he is gonna be responsible for more damage to the black race then all the nut cases white hate groups combined...I love the line about republicans doing damage, I guess Al skipped history class about the whole civil war thing..perhaps he consulted the grand wizzard of the KKK Dick Byrd for advice, I don't know, but he seems intent on deamonizing and destroying his own race and for what possible gain? So they can be happy living in a Ghetto with no hope? I hope Al steps out in frontof a transit bus and does it soon. Whats even sadder are people who actually believe his pile of poo.
This race baiter is one of the worst things to ever happen to the black people of America. His obvious goal is to keep them on the plantation in order to enrich himself. If it comes down to "his people" and a few dollars, it's is a no brainer for Sharleton. ONly MSNBCleaze or CNN would have this buffoon on.
There is an old 90's song from Everclear, "Everything to Everyone", & there is 1 line in particular that sums up the Jackson/Sharpton era of "civil rights"...
"I think you are blind to the fact that the hand you hold is the hand that holds you down."
...the more blacks that figure this out, & that call him & the MSM out on this, the sooner he goes away. The Jackson/Sharpton buisiness model, which should be called "Race Bait Inc."(hat tip to Andrew Wilkow) goes defunct.
Poverty Pimp2 is showing his age and his lack of relevance and he's showing how desperate the puppet masters are becoming, concerning the potential loss of the Black vote, that they'll drag out this old, shrivelled, pointless, race baiting hack in an attempt to fix the nymerous holes in the hull of their ship of state.
Republicans consistently voted and supported for civil rights legislation over the objections Democrats. Why Democrats capture 90% or more of the black vote is a testament to the power of revisionist history writing.
Sharpton the known racist that actually got people killed by lying about racism?
That one?
He should be in jail.
And this man has credibility why?
What has he done for the black race beside pimping them out to the democraps?
Sharpton and Jackson are shills for the democratic party. As long as they keep this kinda sh*t going the democratic party will keep them. Stray off the attack the republicans highway they will quickly be thrown under the bus. Heaven forbid should blacks start thinking for themselves they might learn that democrats think of them as lackeys. They might learn who was behind the Jim Crow laws.
