Al Sharpton

Well, here's a big "NO KIDDING"! Finally, a liberal black leader is speaking out against the "gangster mentality". Sharpton: 'Gangsterism' Harming Blacks

Many black youths fall under a spell of "gangster mentality," preventing them from becoming leaders and making a positive impact in politics, the Rev. Al Sharpton said.

Ok, so where has Sharpton been while young blacks have been killing each other in the streets?

"I think we've allowed a whole generation of young people to feel that if they're focused, they're not black enough. If they speak well and act well, they're acting white, and there's nothing more racist than that."

You "think"?? This isn't news to people who have been paying attention. However, is someone other than a black liberal activist mentions the obvious, it's labeled as "bigotry" and "racism".

Lottie Shackelford, vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, said during the same panel discussion that the time is ripe for getting more young black people involved.

Those on the "right" have been trying to get young people, of ALL races, creeds and color, involved for years. We've been shot down as trying to "suck up" or we don't "understand the culture". So, where have the left been while all these young people get lost in the void of "gangsterism"? Busy telling them that the world owes them ... what? Anything and everything, of course. Instead of pushing kids to do their best in school and life in general, they've been allowing them to run wild, and telling them it's ok, they're entitled.
