Al Sharpton Is "All About Money”

by JASmius



Another non-"news" story, except for the "ethnic persuasion" of the individuals pointing it out,

Or, "another chapter in the African-American Spring":

Award-winning journalist and New York Times’ best-selling author James O’Keefe released a powerful new video today showing how the families, and attorneys of Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Michael Brown really feel about Al Sharpton. O’Keefe, president and founder of Project Veritas, led a team of investigative journalists to uncover how these families and the communities of Staten Island, New York; Miami, Florida; and Ferguson, Missouri, really feel about Sharpton’s involvement in the aftermath of the deaths of Garner, Martin, and Brown.



As demonstrated in the Project Veritas video, their outrage is quite similar to that of the family of Akai Gurley, who have been outspoken and harsh critics of Sharpton’s ethics and motives. Gurley was shot and killed in Brooklyn, New York by Officer Peter Liang who was subsequently indicted by a grand jury on several charges including manslaughter in the second degree and criminally negligent homicide.

O’Keefe’s latest video confirms and highlights what many have long suspected: Al Sharpton is motivated by avarice and pride, rather than social justice and bringing about change.

A member of O’Keefe’s team spoke with the late Eric Garner’s oldest daughter, Erica, on a brisk January evening in Staten Island. Garner did not hold back when asked about Sharpton’s involvement, stating: “he’s about the money.”

Which, of course, is precisely why Sharpie is Barack Obama's "civil rights czar".

And that makes this definite news story all the more entertaining:

Cable giants Comcast and Time Warner — along with Al Sharpton — are being sued by the National Association of African-American Owned Media (NAAAOM) for discrimination.

Comcast and Time Warner recently announced they were merging. The complaint charges that the companies effectively bought protection from Sharpton and other black advocacy groups against possible claims of racial discrimination, according to the Hollywood Reporter....

NAAAOM charges that Sharpton's National Action Network received donations of some $3.8 million from the cable companies. In effect, the companies paid Sharpton, the suit claims, to say that Comcast business dealings met standards of diversity....

The NAAAOM filing charges that despite "notoriously low ratings," Sharpton was kept on as host of his MSNBC program in return for "continued public support for Comcast on issues of diversity," according to the Reporter.

Well, in fairness to Sharpie, it's not like any MSNBCCCP program doesn't have "notoriously low ratings,"  But it is telling that that's the only "network" that would have him.

I wonder how he'll slither out of this jam.  Because you just know he will.
