Al Sharpton does worse for African Americans, he fights hate with hate. He's racist, homophobic and a anti-semite along with the "great" Jesse Jackson. He only shows up when there are racial tensions where african americans are discriminated against, but where was he when that dude saved that kid from the subway? Why hasnt he apologized to the Duke Lacrosse players along with the "New" Black Panther Party?

Seriously. He absolutely crucified all of them before the facts were out. No apologies yet. Dude even said in a letter that he never took a position in thecase. Same with the Tawana Brawley fiasco. Sure, he's done a lot for the African American community, but it's time for him to step down. He'sgotten old and is getting closer and closer to senility as we speak.

Right and alot of his critics dont like him because he stands up for "blacks" and brings attention to alot of wrongs that go on.Illeven go out on a limb and say alot of the resentment for him is do to the lack of representation certain minority groups dont have or exercise.

I think its digesting how alot of african americans can say he's notneeded in this day and time,bickering about who made him a leader,I dont agree with his view(which is fine),what?.Sometimes I think a few of us need to bethankful for what we have,how far we've came(the pass),and more focus on where we are headed.

I dont remember Al saying anything negetive about the Duke Lacrosse case,fox news has said the samething and we all know that they would jump atthe chance to throw it in his face and make him eat his words.But nothing has surfaced yet of him saying anything negetive,on camera,on paper...ect.That rightthere should end that minor debate but what some of you want is for OUR BLACK LEADER to appologize on the behave of that women who happened to be black,whoaccused the Duke Lacrosse players (who happen to be white) of rape.

The mentality is almost equal to the qoute "An Eye for an eye"

Let it go,get over it............move on
