In a January 30, 2021 interview with Al Sharpton on MSNBC’s Politics Nation, Schumer, who was now the Senate Majority Leader, re-emphasized his commitment to bringing transformational change to the United States: “Well, Rev, we have one goal: big, bold change in America” which would include “dealing with D.C. and Puerto Rican statehood.” He also articulated his desire to end the Senate filibuster rule, thereby empowering his party to ram its radical agenda down the throat of a deeply divided nation at a time when Democrats controlled both the House and Senate by the slimmest of margins.
Another day and another plagiarism story out of academia
Once it emerged that Harvard’s former president, Claudine Gay, was a serial plagiarizer, conservatives started looking for other examples of plagiarizing in the halls of America’s colleges and universities. It turns out that this kind of search is akin to shooting fish in a barrel: You cannot fire without hitting something. The latest case is the DEI official at UCLA’s School of Medicine, an institution that’s completely abandoned itself to the worst excesses of DEI, CRT, and other Democrat madness. And as is so often the case, the culprit is a black woman.
UCLA has a DEI program called “Cultural North Star,” and at the medical school, it is led by Natalie J. Perry. Her official biography says her job is to “embed our aspirational Cultural North Stars [sic] value [sic] in our organizational DNA.” UCLA honored Perry last month for teaching students to “do what’s right,” saying her “empathy and radical listening” are to thank for her “success as an educator and a leader.”
According to a Daily Wire and City Journal investigation, however, Perry’s academic career is based on fraud. Perry has published a single paper, a 2014 Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Virginia about how colleges should create larger DEI programs. An analysis of the paper found it ridden with the worst sort of plagiarism, reproducing large swaths of text directly from several other authors, without citations.

Perry is the latest, not the only. Just looking at Harvard, one finds example after example of plagiarism:
There’s a common thread binding many of these corrupt academics. Most (although not all, as Professor Panigrahy shows) are black women. Indeed, leftists are attacking Christopher Rufo, who has been reviewing dissertations, for being racist because of the many black women he’s exposed as plagiarizers. However, as Rufo explains, the database he and his colleagues are searching includes white and Asian scholars. It’s just the black women who keep popping up as cheaters:
Faced with this unpleasant reality, angry Democrat academics are contending that plagiarism is no longer a crime (just as shoplifting is food liberation, not a criminal act when blacks do it):
Yesterday, I wrote a post about how Democrats have deliberately inculcated sociopathic values into black Americans. I focused generally on criminal activity (I’ve got two more examples—here and here), but nodded to the problem we see with high-profile, college-educated blacks in the media, politics, and academia.
It’s worth pointing out that, at the upper echelons of Democrat-voting blacks, the problem of sociopathy seems to be most deeply rooted in the women. The list of black women who don’t believe the rules should apply to them is seemingly endless of late: Natalie J. Perry, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Joy Reid, Stacey Abrams, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Tiffany Henyard, LaToya Cantrell, and all the academic plagiarists. These women make the rules up as they go along, whether for themselves (i.e., Claudine Gay) or for others (i.e., Joy Reid, who hasn’t violated laws, regulations, or moral standards but insists that they shouldn’t apply to people who look like her.)
I can’t blame any of these women for thinking as they do. They’ve been told that they are double victims of both racism and misogyny, even as they are highly evolved beings who are fully capable of creating any standards that are necessary to rise above the systemic pressures they face. If the pond in which I swam (e.g., the K-12 education system, academia, the entertainment world, and the political world) told me all those things, I would take them to heart, too, and act accordingly.
This is a depressing post, so I’ll leave you with a more uplifting, or at least amusing, approach to plagiarism when it happens on the left, in the form of this 1953 gem from Tom Lehrer about mathematical plagiarism in the Soviet Union:
Racism
is abhorrent. So are shakedown artists who cry racism to rake in cash.
Don’t Buy into Sharpton’s Attack on McDonald’s
Beware of shakedown artists who cloak themselves in moral outrage.

Racism is abhorrent. So are shakedown artists
who cry racism to rake in cash.
The Rev. Al Sharpton publicly threatened McDonald’s CEO Chris
Kempczinski on April 27, using the same language his National Action Network
has used for three decades to squeeze cash out of major corporations.
Sharpton referred to “multiple accusations of racial
discrimination” by McDonald’s and warned that NAN is poised to mobilize
nationally against the company. “You cannot sell Black folks Big Macs and give
us little justice,” he said.
Mainstream media glorified this threat, calling Sharpton a
“social justice leader.” Race hustler is more like it.
Racial discrimination should be punished to the full extent
of the law. But Sharpton isn’t a judge or juror. He uses thuggery, not due
process.
Is McDonald’s guilty of racial discrimination? That’s for
courts to decide. McDonald’s has been sued by Black franchise owners alleging
they were mistreated compared with white owners. But a federal judge threw out
one of those lawsuits for lack of evidence in June 2021. Another was dismissed
in October 2022.
Sharpton also claims outrage over “the removal of John
Rogers, a well-respected business leader for the Black community,” from
McDonald’s corporate board. Truth is, Rogers served 20 years and is now
retiring. He left at the same time as a white director who also had served that
long.
Finally, Sharpton accused the hamburger giant of not giving
“Black-owned media” a “fair share” of “McDonald’s supersized advertising
budgets.” That charge echoes a lawsuit by Black entrepreneur Byron Allen. The
case goes to trial with a jury on May 30. Let the jury decide, not Sharpton.
For many years, corporations have paid off Sharpton’s group
to avoid boycotts and rallies outside their headquarters — the same “action”
Sharpton’s letter threatens to take against McDonald’s. A $100,000 donation
seems cheap compared to the damage he could do.
Sharpton is feared partly because the Democratic Party puts
him on a pedestal. Vice President Kamala Harris and nine other senior Biden
administration officials — nearly Biden’s entire cabinet — spoke at NAN’s
annual convention two weeks ago.
President Joe Biden’s three-minute video last week launching
his reelection bid features not one but four images of Sharpton.
As if Sharpton were a national hero. In 1987, Sharpton
accused six white men, including upstate New York prosecutor Steven Pagones, of
raping Black teenager Tawana Brawley, smearing her with feces and leaving her
wrapped in garbage bags. It would have been horrific if true, but a grand jury
ruled the charges a hoax, and Pagones won a defamation suit against Sharpton.
Even now, Sharpton refuses to apologize, insisting that it wasn’t his job to
determine whether the teenager’s story was true.
After the Brawley sham, Sharpton moved to strong-arming
corporations. “Al Sharpton has enriched himself and NAN for years by
threatening companies with bad publicity if they didn’t come to terms with
him,” reported Ken Boehm, late chairman of the National Legal and Policy Center
in Virginia
In 2014, Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio
celebrated Sharpton’s 60th birthday party at a lavish affair. President Barack
Obama sent an aide to read birthday greetings.
Already, the Democratic Party had made him an icon, choosing
to ignore the truth. Sharpton personally failed to pay millions in back taxes
and routinely stiffed travel agencies, hotels and landlords, reported The New
York Times that year. NAN owed years worth of payroll taxes, and was “among the
most delinquent nonprofit organizations in the nation.”
Brazenly, Sharpton sold the rights to his own life story to
NAN in 2018 to take out another $531,000 for himself.
The tragic death of George Floyd in 2020 raised the nation’s
consciousness but also brought flush times for race hustlers. NAN raised a
record $11 million that year, and since then Sharpton has doubled his
compensation and elevated his lifestyle. NAN forks over nearly $1 million a
year for private jets and limos. That kind of luxury spending is taboo for
legitimate charities.
Shame on the Democratic Party for empowering Sharpton, who
doesn’t represent justice or all African Americans.
Beware of those who demand cash while cloaking
themselves in moral outrage.
Biden is promising black voters eight more years
of Obama, complete with unemployment and poverty, while Bernie is offering to
wreck the entire country’s economy by chopping down the money tree, setting it
on fire, and dancing on the ashes.
Battle of the 2020 Corrupt Racists in South Carolina
Biden, Bernie, and
plantation politics.
March 3, 2020
Daniel Greenfield
Daniel Greenfield,
a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an
investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic
terrorism.
Some places have battles between good and evil. Others have
battles between competing evils.
In Washington D.C., there are tough fights between government
bureaucrats over who gets to leak to the media first, in San Francisco, there
are fierce defecating competitions between diseased vagrants, and in South
Carolina, the battle of the racists was fought and won. And, spoiler alert, the
racists won.
Joe Biden was able to emerge victorious because of an endorsement
by Rep. Jim Clyburn. The third-ranking Democrat in the House, had declared, “I'm trying to create a
surge on behalf of Joe Biden."
The exit polls showed that Clyburn
had delivered. 61% of Democrats said that Clyburn’s endorsement was a factor in
their vote. And for a quarter of Democrat voters, it was the biggest factor in
their vote.
The devil didn’t go down to Georgia. He was from South Carolina.
And now Joe’s gotta pay the price.
“My buddy Jim Clyburn, you brought me back!” Biden declared in his
victory speech. But Clyburn isn’t Biden’s buddy. He's already calling for
a major retooling of the Biden
campaign in which "many of us around the country will be able to join with
him and help him get it right." You can bet that some of the “us” will be
Clyburn’s allies. There’s a reason Clyburn is a kingmaker in South Carolina.
And it’s not the force of his ideas, or his stumbling speeches. He commands
loyalty because he delivers for his pals.
Just go on a tour of Clyburn scandals like the Village at River’s
Edge and the James E. Clyburn Transportation Center. That one only cost $107
million, went $30 million over budget, and
took over a decade. The Center is a garage, it holds Clyburn's papers, and it
was going to solve all our transportation problems. Instead it solved the
problem of transporting money and burying it in the Clyburn Center.
But that’s just the usual slime. There’s another problem with Joe
turning over his campaign to James.
Biden addressed AIPAC by video and vowed, “I will always call out
anti-Semitism whether it comes from the left, right to center.”
That would be kind of awkward.
Clyburn led the fight to protect Rep. Ilhan Omar against being
sanctioned for anti-Semitism. He dismissed Jewish complaints by retorting,
“There are people who tell me, ‘Well, my parents are Holocaust survivors.’ ‘My
parents did this.’ It’s more personal with her."
So, Joe won’t be calling out Omar. Or his buddy, James.
Clyburn had taken part in a Farrakhan town hall in 2011. He
appeared despite protests by Jewish groups, including the Simon Wiesenthal
Center. Rabbi Cooper of the Center had politely urged, “Rev. Farrakhan does
not deserve the respectability of having Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina
sit alongside him.”
But Clyburn proved that he had the same degree of respectability
as Farrakhan, who had praised Hitler. Clyburn told The Final Call, the Nation of Islam’s
paper, that he was, “not bothered in the least bit”
"I want to thank Minister Farrakhan for offering up a number
of precepts that we ought to adhere to,” he declared.
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam’s precepts include the belief
that white people were created by an evil Jewish mad scientist, and that UFOs
will come down to earth to destroy all the white people.
This is how Biden won in South Carolina.
Bernie couldn’t get Clyburn in his corner, he had to settle for
the second best crooked racist. While Clyburn was appearing with Biden, Al
Sharpton was defending Bernie’s socialism.
“Do not go by those who use the socialist tag to try to separate
us from what we need to do for this country," the racist leader insisted at his National Action
Network event.
A National Action Network leader had previously praised the racist
arsonist who had burned down a Jewish store in Harlem, killing 7 people, 5 of
them Latino women. More recently, a NAN chapter leader had defended
anti-Semitic rhetoric excusing the mass
shooting at
a Kosher supermarket by members of the Black Hebrew Israelite racist hate
group. But that sort of thing obviously doesn’t bother Bernie.
There are already more Jewhaters than Jews supporting his hateful
campaign to destroy America. What’s the big deal of having the guy at the
center of the Crown Heights Pogrom touting Bernie?
Al already lives under socialism.
Sharpton got a $1 million payday from the National Action Network.
He also sold the NAN the rights to life story for a modest half a million
dollars. Around that time, he owed almost $700,000 in
back taxes. Previously, he had managed to dodge debts by assigning ownership of
his suits to one of his companies.
Sanders is an amateur socialist grifter. Sharpton, like Bernie’s
wife, is a pro.
On his MSNBC show, which Sharpton allegedly received for services
rendered to Comcast, he gushed over the socialist. "Bernie Sanders is the
one candidate on the stage more than anyone else that people are supporting
him," the illiterate racist scoundrel declared in a clip posted by the
Sanders campaign. "Bernie has ran a transformative campaign."
Resist we much.
But courting the corrupt racist has always been a big priority for
Commissar Sanders. After winning in New Hampshire, Bernie had headed to a
meeting with Sharpton for a socialist racist tête-à -tête.
Sharpton has a whole lot less sway with voters in South Carolina
than he does with the arsonists of Harlem and the stabbers of Crown Heights.
Biden gobbled up 64% of the black vote while Sanders had to settle for 15%. To
add insult to injury, Tom Steyer, who just dropped out, got 13%.
In the battle of the crooked racists, Clyburn trounced Sharpton in
South Carolina.
But Clyburn’s pull drops a whole lot outside South Carolina, while
Super Tuesday marches on to, among other places, New York. That’s where Al got
his start with his track suits, racism, and pogroms.
And while Clyburn is at least an honest politician, Sharpton is up
for sale to the highest bidder.
In 2016, he was flirting with Bernie, with Hillary, and… with
Bloomberg.
"Bloomberg is one of the few people who could pull off a
credible independent candidacy for president," Sharpton had declared after
a meeting with a Bloomberg aide.
The true significance of the South Carolina struggle, beyond
sending Buttigieg off to the wine cave, is that the race’s two winners competed
for the black vote, not by credibly promising to make things better for black
people, but by appealing to the same old corrupt power brokers who keep things
bad.
Biden is promising black voters eight more years of Obama,
complete with unemployment and poverty, while Bernie is offering to wreck the
entire country’s economy by chopping down the money tree, setting it on fire,
and dancing on the ashes. Contrast that with President Trump’s booming economy
and record low levels of black unemployment. That’s going to be the choice for
black voters in 2020.
Not just between Biden or Bernie, but between plantation politics
and prosperity.
Clyburn and Sharpton have figured out prosperity for themselves.
Stop by the International African-American Museum, which Clyburn earmarked
$784,000 for, the lead architect was his nephew, or the Drew Wellness Center,
with a $229,000 earmark, whose marketing and membership director was his
daughter. And ask the Reverend Al where he gets his suits and who pays for
them.
Meanwhile their communities remain broken and poor, divided by
hatred incited by Clyburn and Sharpton, who seek to direct blame and guilt away
from the perpetrators of plantation politics.
Biden and Bernie won in South Carolina. But black voters once
again lost in South Carolina.

OPEN BORDERS, NO E-VERIFY, NO LEGAL NEED APPLY TO KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED
FINALLY, AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT STANDS
UP TO SHARPTON
An in-depth look
at the “con man.”
Al Sharpton
has been in the public limelight for just over 30 years – ever since he first
burst upon the scene by promoting the fake story of a white-on-black gang rape
in upstate New York in 1987. But not until now has America had a president with
enough courage to tell the nation exactly what Sharpton is: “Al is a con man, a
troublemaker, always looking for a score,” said Donald Trump on Monday.
In response, Sharpton did the only thing he's ever really learned how to do: He
accused the president of harboring “a particular venom for blacks and people of
color.” What a surprise. “Trump says I’m a troublemaker & con man,”
Sharpton added. “I do make trouble for bigots.”
Let's take a
brief look at some of the career highlights of this self-anointed “troublemaker
for bigots” shall we?
Supporting a
Communist Front and Angela Davis
The February
9, 1971 edition of the Communist Party USA newspaper Daily World, noted that Sharpton had recently addressed a White Plains, New
York rally in support of a CPUSA front group called The Committee to Free Angela Davis. At that
time, the Marxist revolutionary Davis was in prison for her role in abetting
the murder of a California judge.
Sharpton Praises the
Marxist Holiday, Kwanzaa
On December 24, 1971, the New York Times quoted
Sharpton praising Kwanzaa, the race-centered winter holiday that had been
recently established by Maulana Karenga, a Marxist
black nationalist who had once been arrested for assaulting and torturing two
women. The philosophy underlying Kwanzaa is known as Kawaida, a variation of classical Marxism that also includes enmity
toward white people. Practitioners of Kawaida believe that one's racial identity “determines life conditions,
life chances, and self-understanding” -- just as Marxists identify class as the
determining factor of one's life conditions.
The Tawana Brawley
Racial Hoax
Sharpton first entered America’s national consciousness on a large scale
in November 1987, when he injected himself into the case of a 15-year-old black
girl named Tawana Brawley, who claimed that she had been abducted and raped by
a gang of six whites in Dutchess County, New York. Despite a complete
absence of any credible evidence to support Miss Brawley’s story, Sharpton
assumed the role of special adviser to the girl. In the autumn of
1988, after conducting an exhaustive review of the facts, a grand jury released
its report showing beyond any doubt that the entire Brawley story had been
fabricated, and that at least $1 million of New York taxpayers’ money had been
spent to investigate a colossal hoax.
The Central Park
Jogger Case
In April 1989,
a 28-year-old white woman, dubbed the “Central Park jogger,” was
brutally gang-raped and nearly beaten to death in New York’s Central Park by a
group of black and Hispanic teenagers. Despite the defendants’ graphic and
detailed confessions, which were captured on videotape and delivered mostly in
the presence of their parents or guardians, Sharpton insisted that the boys
were innocent victims of “a fit of racial hysteria” that was sweeping the
criminal-justice system and all of American society. Charging that the jogger’s
boyfriend was the real rapist in the case, Sharpton organized protests outside
the courthouse where the five suspects were being tried, chanting, “The
boyfriend did it!” and smearing the victim as a “whore!” All five suspects were
convicted for their involvement in the crime and were sentenced to prison terms
ranging from 5 to 13 years. Their convictions would later be overturned in 2002
when another man, who was already serving a life prison sentence for
other felonies, confessed to having committed the 1989 rape in Central Park.
But there was never any doubt that all five of the original defendants had been
intimately involved in the brutalization of not only the young woman, but of
several other victims in Central Park that same night.
Racial Slurs Against
Black Political Adversaries
In the early 1990s, Sharpton derided moderate black politicians with
close ties to the Democratic Party as “cocktail-sip Negroes” or “yellow
ni**ers.”
The Anti-Semitic Riots
in Crown Heights
In the summer of 1991, Sharpton injected himself into the unrest that followed
an August 19 incident where a Hasidic Jewish driver had accidentally run over
and killed a 7-year-old black boy named Gavin Cato in the Crown Heights section
of Brooklyn, New York. Reporter/columnist Jeff Dunetz wrote that immediately
after the child’s death: “A false rumor began to spread that the Hasidic
ambulance crew had ignored the dying black child in favor of treating the
Jewish men. This falsehood was later used by Al Sharpton to incite the crowd.”
Efraim Lipkind, a former Hasidic resident of Crown Heights who
had witnessed the riots of 1991, stated the following in a July 1994 sworn
deposition: “Then we had a famous man, Al Sharpton, who came down, and he said
Tuesday night, kill the Jews, two times. I heard him, and he started to lead a
charge across the street to Utica.”[1] According to the New York Times, more than 250 neighborhood residents went on a rampage that
first night, mostly black teenagers, many of whom were shouting “Jews! Jews!
Jews!” Three hours after the tragic crash, 29-year-old Australian Jewish
scholar Yankel Rosenbaum was attacked by a gang of black teens who stabbed him
to death. All told, Crown Heights was engulfed by race riots for three
days and nights. Sharpton reacted to the chaos by repeatedly shouting the
mantra, “No justice, no peace!” “We must not reprimand our children for outrage,”
he declared, “when it is the outrage that was put in them by an oppressive
system.”
Sharpton Derides Mayor
Dinkins As a “Ni**er Whore”
During the administration (1989-93) of New York City mayor David Dinkins (an
African American), Sharpton angrily denounced Dinkins
(when the latter was unsupportive of Sharpton’s activism) in the following
terms: “David Dinkins, you wanna be the only ni**er on television, only ni**er
in the newspaper, only ni**er that can talk. Don’t cover them, don’t talk to
them, ’cause you got the only ni**er problem. ‘Cause you know if a black man
stood up next to you, they would see you for the whore that you really are.” (Click here for
audio.)
On another
occasion, Sharpton referred to Dinkins as “that
ni**er whore turning tricks in City Hall.”
The Racist Kean
College Speech
In 1994,
Sharpton delivered an incendiary speech at New Jersey’s Kean College, where he
said: “White folks was in the cave while we [blacks] was building empires … We
built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught
philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos
ever got around to it.”
The Kean College speech also featured Sharpton explaining that America’s
founders consisted of “the worst criminals, the rejects they sent from Europe …
to the colonies.” “So [if] some cracker,” he continued, “come and tell you
‘Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,’ you better hold
you pocket. That ain’t nothing to be proud of, that means their forefathers was
crooks.” Sharpton later defended his use of the word “cracker,” calling it
merely a colloquial term used to describe a certain kind of equal-opportunity
bigot: “It’s certainly not a racist term and certainly not an anti-Semitic
term,” said Sharpton, “because a cracker hates [both] Jews and blacks.”
The Deadly Boycott of
Freddy’s Fashion Mart
In 1995, Sharpton led his National action Network in a racially charged
boycott against Freddy’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned business in Harlem. The
boycott started when Freddy’s owners announced that because they wanted to
expand their own business, they would no longer be subletting part of their
store to a black-owned record shop. The street leader of the boycott, Morris
Powell, was also the head of Sharpton’s “Buy Black” Committee. (In the
1970s, Powell had been confined to a mental hospital after
he had attacked a police officer with a lead pipe while shouting, “I am going
to kill you, pig.” He eventually escaped from that hospital and, in the eighties, went on trial for
breaking a Korean woman’s head during another protest.)
Powell and his fellow anti-Freddy’s protesters repeatedly and menacingly told
passersby not to patronize the “crackers” and “the greedy Jew bastards [who
are] killing our [black] people.” Some boycotters openly threatened violence
against whites and Jews––all under the watchful, approving eye of
Sharpton, who referred to the proprietors of Freddy’s as “white interlopers.”
The subsequent picketing became ever-more menacing in its tone until one of the
participants eventually shot (non-fatally) four whites inside the store and
then set the building on fire––killing seven employees, most of whom were
Hispanics.
In the aftermath of that atrocity, Kareem Brunner, a black security guard
employed by Freddy’s, testified to the State Supreme Court that he personally
had heard the boycotters say such things as: “Kill the crackers”; “Get the Jew
bastards”; “This block is for blacks only”; and “Get the Jew owners out.”
Appearance at a
Socialist Scholars Conference
In 1998 Sharpton was a featured speaker at
the Socialist Scholars Conference in New York.
Speaker at the Million
Youth March
Along with the notorious anti-Semites Malik Zulu Shabazz and Khalid Abdul Muhammad,
Sharpton co-organized an
infamous September 5, 1998 “Million Youth March” which was held in
Harlem, New York and was sponsored by the New Black Panther Party. The
event drew about 6,000 people and ended in clashes between the attendees
and city police. Just prior to the rally, Shabazz
had threatened to kill any police officers who might be tempted to
“interfere” with the proceedings. Then, in his address to the marchers,
Shabazz stated: “The only solution any time there is a funeral in the
black community, is a funeral in the police community.” “I don’t care what the
Jews say,” he added. “You [blacks] are the only people that have been in
bondage for over 400 years. You are the true chosen people of God, and it is
not the so-called Jew.” Sharpton, in his own remarks to the crowd,
praised former Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammed as well as
Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, and Khalid Abdul Muhammad.
“Redeem the Dream”
Rally
In August 2000, Sharpton held a “Redeem the Dream” rally at the
Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, where one of the featured speakers
was Malik Zulu Shabazz. At
that event, Shabazz called on black
young people, including “gang members,” to unite against their “common enemy” —
“white America” and its allegedly racist police departments. He also
articulated a “black dream that when we see caskets rolling in the black community
… we will see caskets and funerals in the community of our enemy as well.”
Sharpton’s
Closeness to Khalid Abdul Muhammad
In February 2001, when Khalid Abdul Muhammad died in a hospital as a result of
a brain aneurysm he had suffered, Sharpton was at Muhammed’s side. He then
gave Muhammad’s family $10,000 to help cover his funeral expenses. Among the
more noteworthy things Muhammad had said during his career as an activist:
- He
said that Jews had provoked Adolf Hitler when they “went in there, in
Germany, the way they do everywhere they go, and they supplanted, they
usurped.”
- He
declared that blacks, in retribution against South African whites of the
apartheid era, should “kill the women,…kill the children,…kill the
babies,…kill the blind,…kill the crippled,…kill the faggot,…kill the
lesbian,…kill them all.”
- He
praised Colin Ferguson, a black man who had shot some twenty white and
Asian commuters (killing six of them) in a racially motivated 1993
shooting spree aboard a New York commuter train, as a hero who possessed
the courage to “just kill every goddamn cracker that he saw.”
- He advised blacks that
“[t]here are no good crackers, and if you find one, kill him before he
changes.”
The Duke
Lacrosse Case
In March 2006,
a black stripper accused three white members of the Duke University lacrosse
team of having beaten, raped and sodomized her during an off-campus party.
These charges triggered an instantaneous eruption of outrage among left-wing
civil-rights activists. Sharpton, for his part, declared that these “rich white
boys” had attacked a “black girl,” and warned that if arrests were not made
immediately, there would be no peace. He further claimed that “this
case parallels Abner Louima, who was raped and sodomized in a bathroom [by a
New York City police officer] like this girl has alleged she was…. and just
like in the Louima case, you have people here saying she fabricated it….” It
later became evident, however, that the plaintiff’s charges were indeed
entirely fabricated, and all charges against the defendants were dropped.
Disparaging Mormonism
When Mitt Romney, a Mormon, ran unsuccessfully for the 2008 Republican
presidential nomination, Sharpton said: “As for the one Mormon
running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so
don’t worry about that; that’s a temporary situation.”
Praising the
Council on American-Islamic Relations
In September 2012, Sharpton was a guest
speaker at the annual fundraising
banquet of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), where he called CAIR “one of the most important
civil-rights organizations in the United States today.” Also addressing that
same convention was Siraj Wahhaj, an
unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Two years
later, Sharpton keynoted the 2014 incarnation
of this same CAIR event.
Sharpton Derides Black
Political Adversaries As “Negroes”
In June 2016, Sharpton led a rally at his
National Action Network headquarters in support of black Assemblyman Keith
Wright, who at that time was running in a Democratic primary election as part
of his quest for the House of Representatives seat that would soon be
vacated by the retiring congressman Charles Rangel. At the
rally, Sharpton derided Wright’s primary opponents, who also were black,
in terms suggesting that he viewed them as race traitors: “You’re supposed to
be attracted to these Negroes you ain’t never seen before,” said Sharpton. “I
mean, they must have a laboratory to just create these Negroes.”
Conclusion:
President Trump Was 100 Percent Right
In summation, it is clear that President Trump's assessment of Sharpton was
entirely accurate. Sharpton is indeed a “con man” and a “troublemaker.” In
fact, those words are far more charitable than a disgusting reprobate like him
deserves.

Al Sharpton Is Not a Civil-Rights Hero
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/07/al-sharpton-is-not-a-civil-rights-hero/
He’s made a career of inciting violence and
vomiting lies. And Democrats have him on
KYLIE SMITH
I imagine cheered David
Duke being a regular, esteemed guest and former honored host on Fox News
Channel. Imagine every Republican presidential candidate scrambling to praise
him whenever he’s in the news. Imagine David Duke being given a prime speaking
slot at the Republican National Convention or President Trump welcoming him to
the White House and openly soliciting his support. Imagine Duke appearing on
White House visitor logs more than 70 times during Trump’s administration.
Imagine all of this and you’ll have some idea of how the right
and even, I think, the center of American political thought reacts to seeing Al
Sharpton continue to be cosseted by the Democratic party and its allies in the
media. Sharpton should long ago have been ruled out of bounds.
Employing the morally disastrous logic that the enemy of your
enemy is your friend, the Democrats have allowed President Trump to troll them
into extolling Sharpton. Trump is incorrect about many things, but he fairly
described Sharpton as a racist. Sharpton is a “con man, a troublemaker, always
looking for a score,” Trump tweeted. “Hates Whites & Cops!” That’s a lot
closer to the truth than the framing of Democrats, who bent the knee to
Sharpton as though he were some sort of civil-rights hero rather than a
huckster.
.@TheRevAl has spent his life fighting for what's right and working
to improve our nation, even in the face of hate. It's shameful, yet
unsurprising that Trump would continue to attack those who have done so much
for our country.
23.8K people are talking about this
.@TheRevAl is a champion in the fight for civil rights. The fact
that President Trump continues to use the power of the presidency to unleash
racist attacks on the people he serves is despicable. This hate has no place in
our country. It's beneath the dignity of the office.
3,998 people are talking about this
.@TheRevAl has dedicated his life to the fight for justice for all.
No amount of racist tweets from the man in the White House will erase that—and
we must not let them divide us. I stand with my friend Al Sharpton in calling
out these ongoing attacks on people of color.
Sharpton holds the position of America’s Senior Spokesman for
Civil Rights only because it’s been some time since he’s done anything so
egregiously contemptible that it made the front page; the Left simply assumes
short memories have sanitized Sharpton’s reputation. I almost wrote
“inflammatory reputation,” but that word might be too literal given the arson
attack that followed one of his most notorious hate campaigns.
After a black boy, Gavin Cato, was accidentally killed by a
motorcade of Jews in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in 1991, Sharpton delivered an
incendiary eulogy at the funeral:
All we want to
say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay
for it. No compromise, no meetings, no coffee klatch, no skinnin’ and grinnin’.
For extra incendiary effect, he urged the crowd to think of Jews
as “diamond merchants” responsible for apartheid in South Africa, and he
marched at the head of an angry group of demonstrators on the Jewish sabbath.
Rioters subsequently murdered Yankel Rosenbaum, a Jewish youth, in retaliation.
Twenty years later Sharpton issued a watery not-quite apology in the form of
a Daily
News op-ed.
Four years later, in 1995, Sharpton inflamed tensions on
Harlem’s 125th Street that culminated in the murders of seven people in an
arson attack. The owner of the building in dispute was actually a black
Pentecostal church, whose leaders had asked a Jewish tenant to evict a black
subtenant, who enlisted the aid of Sharpton and other race-baiters to whip up
street protests. At one such demonstration, Sharpton shouted,
There is a
systemic and methodical strategy to eliminate our people from doing business
off 125th Street. I want to make it clear . . . that we will not stand by and
allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his
business.
A fellow protest leader said, “We’re going to see that this
cracker suffers. Reverend Sharpton is on it.” One protester, wielding a gun,
entered the store in December, crying, “It’s on now, all blacks out!” He set
fire to the store and killed seven before shooting himself dead. Sharpton
didn’t apologize.
It can hardly be stated often enough that the reason Sharpton
first came to prominence was for promoting a vicious lie. In 1987, Tawana
Brawley, a black upstate New York teen who wished to conceal from her father
the fact that she had run away from home, concocted a story about being raped
for four days by six white men, smeared with feces that spelled out racial
slurs, and left in a dumpster. At the time, hate-crime hoaxes were all but
unknown, and New York was still reeling over a genuine hate-crime attack, of a
black youth in Howard Beach, Queens. After a jury ruled that the Brawley case
was a hoax, state supreme-court justice S. Barrett Hickman wrote, “It is
probable that in the history of this state, never has a teenager turned the
prosecutorial and judicial systems literally upside-down with such false
claims.” A local district attorney accused by Sharpton of being one of
Brawley’s attackers, Steven Pagones, lost his job. It took him ten years to
carry out and win a defamation action against Brawley, Sharpton, and another
civil-rights activist. Sharpton never apologized for any of this.
Hatred is Hatred, whether from the Left or Right
By Don Boys
The
Reverend Not So Sharpton is not considered a hater. He was much
sought after by 12 of the Democrat presidential
candidates,
who made the pilgrimage to his humble abode to kiss his ring.
When
it was time to renew his television show, his credentials were examined (but
the ratings were ignored), and yes, he was qualified because he is still
black. That seems to be the reason Al is a television
star. Al is paid $500,000 annually by MSNBC for his television
work, and he pays himself over $200,000 from his civil rights non-profit
organization.
You
might think a television star with a net worth of up to $5 million and
annual income of over $700,000 could pay his bills, but Al still owes $4.5 million in
state and federal taxes, and he often forgets "to pay travel agencies,
hotels, and landlords," according to the records. In 2015, Al
paid almost $2 million on his back taxes.
In
2004, Al bought himself a Rolls-Royce Phantom for his
50th birthday. That is the most expensive production car in the
world, with a base price of $475,000.
That
is one Baptist who was not held under water long enough!
Just
kidding, but he is not my kind of Baptist.
A
black killer in Dallas who killed five police officers and injured 14 other
innocent people said, "I want to kill white people, especially white
cops." When asked if the shooting should be considered a hate
crime, President Obama said, "It's hard to know what his motives
are." Can't Obama understand clear English? The
killer was a hater, and his race or political position did not
matter. By being a defender of hate, does that make Obama a hater?
It
seems hate is identified depending on the hater and the hatee.
A
French rapper named Nick Conrad has a song titled
"Hang Whites!" that declares,
"I enter day care centres, I kill white babies, Grab them quickly and hang
their parents, Take them apart to pass the time." In one scene,
the rapper and an associate drag a white person along a street and kick him in
the head. The lyrics include calls to kill white people and their
children.
That's
hate by a self-described "black artist, Parisian, proud sophisticate"
— or more precisely, a French jerk who shot to fame with his hate-filled
"song."
Thaddeus
Matthews, Memphis disc jockey, interviewing Charlotte Bergmann, a black,
female conservative Republican candidate for Congress, called her a
"token negro" and "curly-haired nigga." He
added, "I'm so sick of your s---, yourself, and I'm about to put
your a-- up outta here," he said. "You are a token
negro that white folk have control over." As she got up to
leave, she tried to shake his hand, and he refused, saying, "I don't need
to shake your hand. I'm scared because some of that whiteness might
rub off on me."
Thad,
the black hater of whites, is still a disc jockey in
Memphis. Charlotte won her primary but lost in the 2018 general
election.
The
mother of Michael Brown (the teen thug who was killed by a police officer in
Ferguson after Brown tried to take the officer's gun) is running for city
council! But Momma's comments will haunt her. She wrote
on social media after two police officers were shot, "If my FAM woulda got
JUSTICE in August maybe those two comps wouldn't have got shot LAST
NIGHT..." Also, "F--- THEM 2 COPS...DON'T GOT NO SYMPATHY
FOR THEM OR THEY FAMILIES…Aint no FUN when the Rabbit got the GUN."
That
too is undisguised, unreasonable, and uncontrolled hate and indicates a problem
in public education.
Maggie
Gallagher cited a book that
expresses extreme hatred toward conservative Christians in America who
"tend to hold relatively high levels of social power." So Many Christians, So Few Lions: Is There
Christianophobia in the United States? was authored by George Yancey and
David A. Williamson, who asked people about conservative
Christians. "'I want them [conservative Christians] all to die
in a fire,' said one man with a doctorate[.] ... 'The only good Christian is a
dead Christian,' said another man with a doctorate. 'I abhor them
and I wish we could do away with them,' said a woman with a master's
degree. 'A tortuous death would be too good for them,' said a
college-educated man. 'They should be eradicated without hesitation
or remorse,' said an elderly woman with a master's degree."
Hate
is not defined by education, race (and yes, of course blacks can be racists),
religion, national origin, politics, or financial status.
"Look
at thus [sic] chorus of entitled white men justifying a serial rapist's
arrogated entitlement. All of them deserve miserable deaths while
feminists laugh as they take their last gasps. Bonus: we castrate
their corpses and feed them to swine? Yes." This was
so eloquently spoken by white Georgetown University professor Christine Fair. Chrisy is no longer
teaching at Georgetown; she is "on leave."
No
sane person will defend hate, but many haters use hate as a weapon and often go
into battle with Christian conservatives. Since the progressive
cannot defend his castle in ruins (liberalism), he fires the only bullet in his
possession: "You're a hater." That is supposed to settle
the argument in favor of progressives!
Pseudo-intellectuals
like Georgetown's Michael Eric Dyson said after George Zimmerman was acquitted in the killing of
Trayvon Martin that it would be a good thing for more white children to be
murdered so Americans could better understand racism. Mike is also a
Baptist preacher, but not a historical or biblical Baptist, for sure.
Sarah
Jeong is a member of the New York Times editorial
board. She wrote: "Dumba-- f------ white people marking up the
internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on a fire
hydrant." Also, "Are white people predisposed to burn
faster in the sun, thus logically only being fit to live underground like
groveling goblins[?]" Finally Sarah's "White men are
b-------"; "#CancelWhitePeople"; "oh man it's kind of sick
how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men" and "f---
white women lol."
Sarah
is still with the Times!
According
to a report from Newsweek,
Trinity College professor Johnny Eric Williams is making waves
again. Breitbart News reported in June
2017 that Williams had argued that first responders should have let
Representative Steve Scalise die after he was shot during a practice for the
congressional baseball game. Williams also shared a blog post by an
anonymous author that asked black people to withhold life-saving help from
white people in need.
In
a recent social media post, Williams wrote that "whiteness is terrorism[].
... If you see them [whites] drowning. If you see them in a burning
building. If they are bleeding out in an emergency
room. If the ground is crumbling beneath them. If they
are in a park and they turn their weapons on each other: do nothing," the
post read.
Of
course, hatred is hatred whether from the Left or right or in the middle;
however, all the haters quoted today have been from far out in left field.

REPORT: Al Sharpton
Paid $1 Million by His Own Charity in 2018
Daniel Zuchnik/Getty Images
17 Nov 2019127
2:46
Rev. Al
Sharpton received more than $1 million from the National Action Network (NAN)
in 2018, tax filings reportedly show.
Sharpton was paid $1,046,948 by the
non-profit, and he also got “a $324,000 salary — 32% higher than his 2017 pay —
in addition to a $159,596 bonus and $563,352 in ‘other compensation,'”
according to the New York Post.
The report continued:
The Harlem-based nonprofit — which Sharpton controls as
president and CEO — said the extra cash was to make up for the years from 2004
to 2017 when he didn’t get his full pay. NAN said it hired an executive
compensation firm that determined the good reverend was owed $1.252 million —
but he was generously willing to take $500,000 less.
“Fifteen years, you are talking about since 2004 when I came
back after running for president,” Sharpton commented. “For anybody else it
would be laughable.”
The reverend also claimed that, like anyone else, he deserved
the raise.
“It’s a six-day-a-week job and several hours a day and when [the
compensation firm] compared it to other companies, other nonprofits, that’s the
salary that they would get.”
Saturday, NAN said in a press release that
the organization experienced strong financial support during 2018, and it
anticipated the same for 2019.
Sharpton posted the announcement to his Twitter account.
NATIONAL ACTION NETWORK (NAN) REPORTS AN INCREASE IN FINANCIAL SUPPORT IN
2018 & A STRONG FINANCIAL FORECAST FOR 2019 AFTER A SUCCESSFUL BIRTHDAY
FUNDRAISER WHICH GENERATED A SIGNIFICANT RETURN ON NAN’S PURCHASE OF REV.
SHARPTON LIFE STORY RIGHTS
12:52 PM - Nov 16, 2019 · National Action Network
See Reverend Al Sharpton's other
Tweets
“National Acton Network (NAN) is reporting that donations in
2018 increased by approximately a million dollars from 2017, helping the
organization to expand programmatic initiatives in technology and voter
engagement, while also boosting NAN staffing across the country,” the statement
read.
The release continued:
Finally, the revenue from Rev. Sharpton’s birthday has already
generated hundreds of thousands of dollars for NAN, and when a final tally is
made, the Board is confident it will exceed in one-year what they put up for
his life rights in ten-years. This doesn’t include the revenue they will get
for use of his historic photo archives and other items for a documentary, as
well as commitments for a one-person play and more.
Despite his recent pay raise,
Sharpton reportedly still owes $698,470.99 in back taxes to the state of
New York for three of his companies, according to the Post.
