Good! Take the race baiting bastards to the cleaners.

(Washington Post) –Lawyers for George Zimmerman filed suit today against NBC Universal Media over a well-publicized editing error that portrayed their client in racist terms in his pursuit of Trayvon Martin on a drizzly evening in February.

“NBC saw the death of Trayvon Martin not as a tragedy but as an opportunity to increase ratings, and so to set about the myth that George Zimmerman was a racist and predatory villain,” states the civil complaint in its opening salvo against NBC.

NBC’s editing of the 911 audiotape in the Martin case became a public fixation after the media-monitoring Web site NewsBusters.org noted editing oddities on a “Today” show broadcast March 27.

Here’s how NBC News portrayed the audiotape:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.

The full tape went like this:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.

Dispatcher: OK, and this guy — is he black, white or Hispanic?

Zimmerman: He looks black.

Zimmerman thus didn’t volunteer a racial profile of Martin; he was asked to provide it, a point that the lawsuit makes in colorful fashion: “NBC created this false and defamatory misimpression using the oldest form of yellow journalism: manipulating Zimmerman’s own words, splicing together disparate parts of the recording to create illusions of statements that Zimmerman never actually made.”

The suit against NBC alleges four other instances in which NBC-produced shows aired false and defamatory versions of the same events.

“I know it’s a heavy thing, I don’t say it lightly, but this is ‘niggerization’. You are not one of us, you are like the scary black man who we’ve been trained to fear.”
–Toure, MSNBC analyst in reference to Mitt Romney.

Yes, Toure actually said that out loud…on national television. Here is my video response, with transcript below. Please share. This was straight from my heart. It is not a story I share easily, or with pleasure. But I could not be silent on this one.

They say that ‘art is in the eye of the beholder‘. When viewing “A Tale Of Two Hoodies” by artist Michael D’Antuono, I behold race baiting tripe.

Incendiary racist garbage

The artist Michael D’Antuono attempts to justify his painting:

Inspired by the Trayvon Martin case, this painting symbolizes the travesty of racially profiling innocent children and how present day prejudices affect policy.

(BTW comments are allowed at the above link. Play nice.)

H/T Dan Linehan at Wagist

Below, an excerpt of his laser sharp analysis/critique of the painting:

The most striking thing about the painting is that even though nearly every aspect of the portrayal is obviously flawed, skewed, or just outright made up, the artist still tries to justify it by calling it symbolism of a larger societal issue.

Again, it’s so extreme you would almost have to assume it’s self-parody, but D’Antuono is convinced that his artwork is not at all racist, but that any responses calling him out on the myriad of things wrong with it are.

Let’s look at a few things just to illustrate exactly how openly racist and bigoted D’Antuono’s work is:

1. D’Antuono pretends a Hispanic man is Caucasian in order to make the painting more provocative.
2. He compares a Hispanic performing ordinary neighborhood watch duties to him being a member of the KKK.
3. D’Antuono ignores the fact that a Hispanic man was brutally attacked in his own neighborhood and was severely injured before the shooting took place.
4. He directly changes the ethnicity of one of the two subjects in a painting that is specifically supposed to function as social commentary about racism, rendering any insightful analysis nearly impossible.
5. He changes the height and weight of Trayvon Martin in order to make him appear as a helpless victim, rather than a 6’3, 160lb high school athlete who just broke someone’s nose and was bashing their head into a concrete sidewalk.
6. D’Antuono stereotypes law enforcement officials as being fat, white, prejudiced murderers, even though there were no police involved in the shooting whatsoever.

……
More and more, it seems like accusations of racism in the Trayvon Martin case are actually a bizarre form of psychological projection. The accusers actively make up their own reality in order to make the shooting fit their worldview, even when it has been shown that race mattered very little, if at all, when the actual evidence is examined objectively.

D’Antuono’s painting has does much more to expose his own internalized prejudices and bigotry, and unfortunately offers very little of value to the arena of public discourse on the matter, beyond perhaps adding even more evidence of the continuing absurdity of how Zimmerman has been depicted.

Spot. On. Read the rest >>>.

As an aside, this blasphemous D’Antuono painting titled “The Truth”; of Obama with arms outstretched and wearing a crown of thorns is particularly disgusting.

We’re going in soon within a few weeks and we’re going to train the community and community patrols and community self-defense in Sanford. We’re not going to allow some Neo-Nazis to drive around and intimidate black people and we know what we know and are trained how we’re trained.

We have to raise up an army in Florida of black men and black people who will patrol and defend the community and we have to have a ministry of defense in Florida.

You touch us with what we are building for black people and you got a hell of a price to pay. You don’t build a movement – if you don’t develop a movement and defend what you develop with a movement then you gonna be out of luck.

So we gotta do both my sista. [Michelle Williams?]

We got to fight on all fronts.

We got to build and in self-defense we got to kill.

SPLC reports that an April 21st armed rally is teh plan:

The New Black Panther Party (NBPP) and New Black Liberation Militia (NBLM) are planning an armed rally in Sanford, Fla. later this month.

Speaking via phone from Jacksonville, where his group was holding a press conference with NBPP area spokesman Mikhail Muhammad, NBLM head Minister Prince Najee Shaka Muhammad today told Hatewatch that the armed rally, planned for April 21, is part of a crusade to obtain “justice” for Trayvon Martin[...]

Update: What a coinkidinky!

Terry Jones Coming to Sanford FL for George Zimmerman’s Constitutional Rights Saturday, April 21, 1-3pm

“Nor did I encourage anyone to go and pick up a gun.”

Crocodile tears and lies.

(WTSP) –Tampa, Florida – It was an emotional interview for Michelle Williams.

As a community activist and chief of staff for the New Black Panther Party, Michelle is used to addressing many issues.  But when it comes to her passion in the Trayvon Martin case, she get especially upset and tearful.

Through tears, she said, “If my words, my words that I had to say out of anger will make the American people address this issue, let it be my time, Melanie. Let it be my time to address this issue with America, that we say enough is enough. We can’t have any more killings.”

Michelle is now offering an apology for her controversial comments.

She spoke openly, “My words were out of anger. I did not incite, I did not promote, nor did I encourage anyone to go and pick up a gun.”
…..
In a candid moment during her 10 News interview, she said, “Do I want to see George Zimmerman dead? No. Do I want to see him brought to justice? Hell yes.”Michelle assured us that she doesn’t want to have anyone out there pick up a gun. “I don’t want violence, I don’t promote violence. That’s why I told you, my words were out of anger.”

It’s to late, you vile excuse for a human being, you’ve already let the incitement cat out of the bag.

Wiliams’ intent to incite racial violence with her incendiary words, comes across LOUD and CLEAR (audio at link):

I just want to say to all the listeners on this phone call, that if you are having any doubt about getting suited, booted, and armed up for this race war that we’re in that has never ended, let me tell you somethin…the thing that’s about to happen these honkies, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, these motherf*er purple people…it has been long overdue.

“I say to everyone that is on this call right now, I‘m comin’ out of the gate…my prize right now this evening is going to be the bounty, the arrest– dead or alive– for George Zimmerman.  You feel me?  To every brother, to every female, I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence.  You feel me?  It’s time to wake up, I don’t know how else…It’s in me to fight.  It’s in me to raise up soldiers.  It’s in me that every time my feet touch the ground the state of Florida- these crackers- they scared.

“I’m kinda pissed off right now that the state of Florida ain’t on fire.  This could not have happened in L.A. because them brothers up there are not scared to riot.  This could not have happened in St. Petersburg Florida, where the black man over there are ain’t scared to kill a cracker.”

Replace black with white and ‘crackers and honkies’ with the n-word then pretend for a second it was a white person speaking them. Something tells me that an ‘angry heat of the moment’ apology card, would not be accepted by Michelle Williams.

Hate & ignorance 101:

Fighting back against alleged racial profiling and stereotyping leading to violence, by violently perpetuating and participating in actual racial profiling and stereotyping.

(Gainesville Sun) –Police are investigating the “racially motivated” beating of a 27-year-old man who was walking home from midtown bars early Saturday [April 7, 2012] when he said he was jumped by five to eight men who shouted “Trayvon” before the attack.

The exclamation was an apparent reference to Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old from Miami who was shot and killed in February walking back to his father’s girlfriend’s house in Sanford [Florida].
……
Investigators believe that case was the catalyst for the beating Saturday in Gainesville.

“We do believe that the crime was racially motivated,” Gainesville Police Department spokeswoman Cpl. Angelina Valuri said.

The assailants were black, while the victim is white, Valuri said.
……
Valuri said his injuries were consistent with being jumped by a group.

During what he told police was a five-minute beating, he sustained injuries to the left eye, abrasions to his palms and a cut on his right kneecap, and Valuri said he would likely have “permanent disfigurement to the left side of his face.”

He was taken to Shands at the University of Florida for treatment.

“Suited, booted, armed for this race war…the thing that’s about to happen these honkies, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, these motherf*er…it has been long overdue….true revolution means some bloodshed”

Partial transcript via: Erica Ritz at the Blaze.

Michelle Williams [Tampa Bay- St Petersburg New Black Panther Party Chapter Chief of Staff] : I just want to say to all the listeners on this phone call, that if you are having any doubt about getting suited, booted, and armed up for this race war that we’re in that has never ended, let me tell you somethin…the thing that’s about to happen these honkies, these crackers, these pigs, these pink people, these motherf*er purple people…it has been long overdue.”

Chawn Kweli [Nation Spokesman New Black Panther Party]: “Ya, what she said was right– we got to suit up and boot up…and get prepared for the war that we’re in…this stuff got to boil over, and all your great’s talked about that happened to be bloodshed involved with revolution- true revolution means some bloodshed, so there‘s blood being spilled because there’s a new life that is beyond this bloodshed.  There is a new reality that is built upon your original African principles and spiritualities and values and norms that is beyond this bloodshed.  But we gotta go do it.

“And as the Scripture said, you gotta to cross it. We gon’ have to cross the Red Sea….I know y’all thought it was talking about some sea in some Middle Eastern part of the world- hell no.  We’re talking about some blood.  You’re gonna have to cross some blood, and go through some blood and some battles.

“And there are those who wish they could stand in this hour, to see the destruction of the devil‘s world and the devil’s society- and I‘m ain’t talking about no dude underneath the ground with a pitchfork and pantyhose.  I’m talking about that blonde haired, blue-eyed, sometimes brown-eyed, Caucasian walkin around with a mindset, a demonistic mindset, and a nature to do evil and brutality.”

Note: George Zimmerman image with crosshairs mirrors the avatar of the @KillZimmerman Twitter account (click)

Williams: “I say to everyone that is on this call right now, I‘m comin’ out of the gate…my prize right now this evening is going to be the bounty, the arrest– dead or alive– for George Zimmerman.  You feel me?  To every brother, to every female, I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence.  You feel me?  It’s time to wake up, I don’t know how else...It’s in me to fight.  It’s in me to raise up soldiers.  It’s in me that every time my feet touch the ground the state of Florida- these crackers- they scared.

“I’m kinda pissed off right now that the state of Florida ain’t on fire.  This could not have happened in L.A. because them brothers up there are not scared to riot.  This could not have happened in St. Petersburg Florida, where the black man over there are ain’t scared to kill a cracker.”

Kweli: “This is real.  We’re attacked anywhere in the world and we would defend ourselves by any means necessary…You starve capitalism, since this racism that‘s being perpetuated and this brutality that’s being perpetuated, and this murder that’s being perpetuated, is built on the table legs of capitalism, you’ve got to starve capitalism.

“An act of war has been declared on us and we have no choice but to fight…[But] we have to be trained how to fight.  See the whole purpose of the maneuver that’s happening in Sanford is to train in self-defense, because many of us think we’re prepared for a battle- just like many of us think we’re prepared for a fight- but if you are not training, if you are not stocking up water, if you are not stocking up food, if you are not stocking up weapons and artillery and survival books, and gas masks, and flashlights, and cantines, and ready-to-eat meals…if you are not stocking that up I don’t know how serious we are right now.

“Absolutely, we want the complete removal of capitalism.  Why?  Because capitalism sets up a class structure and a class society.  As I said in the beginning of the “haves” and “have nots,” [the] pivotal point is racism, it is racism that keeps them perpetuating a capitalistic motion.  So yes, we want capitalism completely eradicated, especially from the minds and hearts and dealings of black people.”

Emphasis (for the most part) theirs.

Some have described the audio with such terms as; “shocking” and “stunning” Not I.  I am neither shocked nor stunned.

Reportedly, an anonymous member of the Today Show George Zimmerman media lynch mob goes down…

(Media Decoder NY Times) –NBC News has fired a producer who was involved in the production of a misleading segment about the Trayvon Martin case in Florida.

The person was fired on Thursday, according to two people with direct knowledge of the disciplinary action who declined to be identified discussing internal company matters. They also declined to name the fired producer. A spokeswoman for NBC News declined to comment.
……
The segment in question was shown on the “Today” show on March 27. It included audio of Mr. Zimmerman saying, “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. He looks black.”

But Mr. Zimmerman’s comments had been taken grossly out of context by NBC. On the phone with a 911 dispatcher, he actually said of Mr. Martin, “This guy looks like he’s up to no good. Or he’s on drugs or something. It’s raining and he’s just walking around, looking about.” Then the dispatcher asked, “O.K., and this guy — is he white, black or Hispanic?” Only then did Mr. Zimmerman say, “He looks black.”
……
On April 4, the network news division said in a statement that it deeply regretted the “error made in the production process.”

It did not specify what steps it would take. But one day later it dismissed a Miami-based producer who had worked at NBC for several years.

The people with direct knowledge of the firing characterized the misleading edit as a mistake, not a purposeful act.

An “error”, a “mistake” not at all a “purposeful act”. Riiiight! If you believe that, I have some choice swampland to sell you in the Sahara.

(Reuters) –An internal NBC News probe has determined a “seasoned” producer was to blame for a misleading clip of a 911 call that the network broadcast during its coverage of the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to two sources at the network.
……
The Today show’s editorial control policies – which include a script editor, senior producer oversight, and in most cases legal and standards department reviews of material to be broadcast – missed the selective editing of the call, said the NBC executive.
……
Public pressure has been building on the network to fully explain the incident – which critics charge has inflamed racial tensions in an already volatile situation.

On Thursday, a New York Post editorial characterized the edited 911 call as “pretty damning evidence of willful misconduct by NBC News” and suggested that racial violence could ensue over irresponsible news coverage. [...]

If the law allows, sue the pants off of the bastards, George.

Via Matthew Sheffield at NewsBusters:

While NBC has taken a good first step toward rectifying the situation, until the network releases the name of the person and explains its theory that the edit was not deliberate, its credibility is still under question.

Precisely.

So @NBCNews this NAMELESS lying fraudster race-baiter can now work ANYWHERE without public scrutiny cuz you won’t name!!!!!!!! #GotCoverUp

— John Nolte(@NolteNC) April 7, 2012

There is also the possibility that NBC had fired no one, and they are spreading it as fact to cover their scandalous rear ends. We can never be sure unless they release a name.

Here is a clip of the March 27 Today Show segment reporting the selectively edited audio:

Update: A couple of the top dog producers of the Today Show (edited)

Noah Kotch [Today Show] Senior Producer: 379E-1, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10112.

Jim Bell Executive Producer of the Today Show

Update 2: Bryan Preston at the PJ Tattler believes the Today Show producer at fault, is none other than Senior Producer Jim Bell (as mentioned in the update above):

I wrote earlier that there is no way that NBC’s Zimmerman edit was an accident or error, as the network claims. I base my position on nearly 20 years of editing video and audio. NBC’s Zimmerman edit was deliberate, done in a network editing studio at the specifications or orders of a producer who in turn answers up a chain of command that ends with the executive producer of the show that aired it. That show was the Today show, the highest-rated morning news show on the networks, and one of NBC’s prime products. Today aired the edited clip of George Zimmerman’s 911 call last week, and the network also put a text version, with the same dishonest edit, on its web sites. Only after this blog and others called NBC out did they “apologize,” while refusing to name anyone involved.

NBC’s deliberate edit was an attempt to build a narrative that George Zimmerman killed Trayvon out of racial animosity, but that does not square up with facts….

Today‘s latest statement indicates that a “seasoned producer” was involved. A “seasoned producer” knows what they are doing, or should, and does not make an embarrassing “mistake” like the Zimmerman edit. Whoever this “seasoned producer” is, nothing gets on the air on a show like Today without the show’s executive producer’s approval. The executive producer of the Today show is Jim Bell. His bio describes him as a “hands on producer.” The 44-year-old Bell also fits the description of a “seasoned producer.”

Preston links to Jim Bell’s Twitter account (@jfb), which since has been locked down. Interesting…

JammieWearingFool says Brietbart ‘em:

What would Breitbart do?

Seriously, NBC does NOT have the power to keep the identities of those responsible a secret. His name is Jim Bell. He is the Executive Producer of The Today Show. And, until he or NBC say otherwise, he is responsible. His bio at The Today Show website even talks about how “hands-on” he is as a producer.

You and your blogging friends should post his name as often as possible. Start an email and phone campaign to his office. If I was a lefty, I’d suggest soliciting readers to find his home address, phone number and places where he likes to hang out or take vacations because Spike Lee and The NBPP taught me that it’s totally OK. Pressure…

At the very least Bell should be held accountable.

Transcript:

WOLF BLITZER: Now the 911 tape of George Zimmerman’s call as he was pursuing Trayvon Martin through the gated community he was patrolling. We should warn you right now you’re going to hear some strong language. You might want to send your kids out of the room.

The two words you will hear are an expletive and some believe a racial slur.

When the question first came up, 360′s Gary Tuchman worked with one of our top audio expert to enhance the tape.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GARY TUCHMAN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Rick, can we play just that second word where we think the second word is and hear? And hear, if the sound any different.

RICK SIERRA, CNN AUDIO DESIGN SPECIALIST: OK.

TUCHMAN: It certainly sounds like that word to me but you just can’t be sure. That sounds even more like the word than using it with the F-word before that.

SIERRA: That’s correct.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BLITZER: It seemed pretty clear then, but since then we have been able to use an even higher tech method to isolate what was said that night.

Here again, Gary Tuchman.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

TUCHMAN: This is Brian Stone (ph). He’s one of our senior audio engineers, expert in this field.

And you have enhanced the tape and we’re going to listen to it. I have not listened to this tape either. Two weeks ago, when we did this, I didn’t listen to it because I wanted to listen to it for the first time on this equipment. The second version that has been enhanced, I haven’t listened to. Let’s play it. . 911 DISPATCHER: Are you following him?

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MAN: Yes.

911 DISPATCHER: OK, we don’t need you to do that.

TUCHMAN: Now, that certainly sounds much clearer than the first tape we listened to.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Right. It’s extremely clear now.

TUCHMAN (voice-over): Some are accusing George Zimmerman of using the racial slur “coons” in his 911 call. It was preceded by the F-word.

Can we play it again? Can you repeat it so we can hear it a few times? The problem is, this is very short. It’s about 1.6 seconds.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Roughly, yes.

TUCHMAN (on camera): So, once again, if we can repeat it a few times so we can hear it clearly.

(voice-over): With this new clearer audio, it’s apparent the first word is a curse word. So we will bleep it out for the rest of the story. It’s the second word that’s important to hear.

(on camera): I don’t want to say what it sounds like this time, what a lot of people are saying it sounds like. But let’s play it a few times so the viewer can have an idea for themselves and make their own conclusion.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure.

TUCHMAN: You can stop. Now, it does sound less like that racial slur last time. I acknowledge the possibility it could have been that slur. From listening in this room, and this is state-of-the-art room, it doesn’t sound like that slur anymore.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Right.

TUCHMAN: It sounds like — and we wanted to leave it up to the viewer — but it sounds like we’re hearing the swear word at first and then the word cold.

And the reason some say that would be relevant is because it was unseasonably cold in Florida that night and raining. So that is what some supporters of Zimmerman are saying, that that would make sense if he was saying the word cold.

[Note: Zimmerman and Martin were both wearing outer clothing that evening. --Ed.]

But that is what it sounds like to you?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It does to me. And I have not heard this.

TUCHMAN: First time you have heard it?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.

TUCHMAN: Can we play it a few more times?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure.

TUCHMAN: So the key is, though, the wind, to get rid of the wind.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Correct, wind and anything broadband noise.

TUCHMAN: That’s what we have done this time as compared to last time.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Correct.

TUCHMAN: And so you have basically used this plug-in to just get rid of the noise you don’t want.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It reduces and cleans up a lot of that broadband noise. Yes.

TUCHMAN: But does it change the voice at all, could it change a word?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It will not change a word. No.

TUCHMAN: Just makes it clearer?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Correct.

TUCHMAN: Brian, can you play that for us one more time?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure.

TUCHMAN (voice-over): This is now the clearest audio we have heard of George Zimmerman’s 911 call, but it’s readily apparent there will still be controversy over what he really said.

H/T John Nolte at  Breitbart.com, who adds:

We can now add CNN to the growing pile of media high-tech lynchers, along with NBC and ABC News.

Before you go check this out:

Excerpt from a March 26, 2012 letter to Turner Clayton of the Seminole County NAACP written by “a concerned Zimmerman family member”

“You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black.

Do you know the individual who stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8, 2011 at Sanford City Hall??

That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN.”

Read it all.

Update 2:

In related media malfeasance:

ABC News exclusive: ABC News was wrong about George Zimmerman’s injuries

 Now ABC News has reversed itself, and somehow it’s an “exclusive.” Not a correction. Not a retraction. An “exclusive.” Their big scoop is that their previous big scoop was wrong. [...]

Why is Al Sharpton revered as an iconic civil rights leader? When in all actuality, the sanctimonious Sharpton should have been shunned out of the spotlight  –LONG AGO.
Jeff Jacoby – The Boston Globe

Despite his blood stained hands, Al Sharpton has the support of POTUS Obama.

No one would roll over for [David] Duke. Why are they rolling over for Sharpton?

After all, Sharpton’s résumé is at least as vile as Duke’s.

1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent — the crime never occurred — but Sharpton taunts him: “If we’re lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it.” Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to recant his unspeakable slander or to apologize for his role in the odious affair.

1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin’s funeral he rails against the “diamond merchants” — code for Jews — with “the blood of innocent babies” on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, “No justice, no peace.” A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting “Kill the Jews!” and stabbed to death.

1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy’s Fashion Mart, Freddy’s white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensues; Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. “We will not stand by,” he warns malignantly, “and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.” Sharpton’s National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy’s are spat on and cursed as “traitors” and “Uncle Toms.” Some protesters shout, “Burn down the Jew store!” and simulate striking a match. “We’re going to see that this cracker suffers,” says Sharpton’s colleague Morris Powell. On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy’s, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.

If Sharpton were a white skinhead, he would be a political leper, spurned everywhere but the fringe. But far from being spurned, he is shown much deference. Democrats embrace him. Politicians court him. And journalists report on his comings and goings while politely sidestepping his career as a hatemongering racial hustler. [...]

The above article was written in 2003 after Sharpton had announced his plans to run for president. As it stands now, race arsonist Al has risen even higher on the credibility scale, he has went from being a frequent commentator on cable news to hosting his own show on MSNBC,while continuing his high profile activist role. And in 2010, “President Obama asked Sharpton to be his ambassador to the black community…Good Lord, Black America, is this the man you want representing you?”

Al Sharpton’s Racial, Homophobic Rants:

Martin Luther King Jr had a dream for a world where people were judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Sharpton is a hateful, bigoted, race obsessed individual, which are not the traits one would expect to find in a man of admirable character.

In a just, sane world, he would be cast away to the outer limits of irrelevance and obscurity. Rejected not embraced.
