Comment – Opinion. While driving to the bank this morning I listened to the Joe Scarborough radio talk show. When the subject of Micheal Jackson came up, Scarborough noted how Sharpton preaching on a pulpit this past Sunday, accused the media of having a double standard of reporting all the foibles of Jackson’s tortured existence with the insinuation by Sharpton, that it was because Jackson was black, (though Micheal looked white to me.) Sharpton went on to say, (Scarborough played the speech), that Jackson should be given the same dignity in death as had Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley…..hold the presses.
What Sharpton apparently and conveniently forgot to mention was that from the moment of Sinatra’s death, allegations he was involved with the Mafia came out immediately. When Elvis died, the New York Times stated that he (Elvis), was a “reclusive, bloated drug addict.”
So…I would say to the Rev. Sharpton, (I don’t think he deserves the title of Reverand because he is a hater – the antithesis of his alleged Christian calling), stop with the “black victimization” agenda that you have made a living off all these years and go find an honest job and stop annoying everyone. Just my opinion….William McCullough.
I do believe Sharpton is clawing for job security, seeing as how whites elected a black man to become president of the most powerful nation in the world. I know, isn’t it funny shouldn’t this signify racism is dead in America, except if you’re white and tax paying. Then you can be institutionally discriminated against because of your race, regardless of background. I mean come on Affirmative action is like trying to tell two 8 year old team captains, that they can’t pick the players they want to win. They have to balance out their teams with players of lower standards, because fair is fair. Now tell me how that is fair?
