"As always, Black people are caught between the proverbial rock and hard place, not wanting to ignore Trumpian antics while also being wary of any connection with the likes of #AlSharpton. The confusion about what to do is rampant and mirrors the general sense of confusion about Black political activity."

As Andrew Egger reports, new material has come to light from now-defunct websites on which Mark Robinson spouted off about fantasizing about having the cops shoot Al Sharpton
“'If the cops wanted to shoot an elderly black man they should have shot Al Sharpton,' Robinson commented in April 2009 on a NewsOne article about Sharpton participating in a police-brutality protest. 'Closing his mouth would do this Nation good.'”

Reverend #AlSharpton referring to the #CentralParkFive, as #TheExoneratedFive, said #Trump spent a “small fortune” in newspaper ads calling for the execution of the wrongly accused men, & that he las long “fanned” the flames of #racism.
Sharpton was talking about Trump’s full-page newspaper ad calling for the death penalty for the group, 5 #Black & #Latino teenagers who had been arrested —but had not yet been tried when Trump placed the ad— in connection w/the gang rape of a white female jogger.

Yes, Biden had a horrible night. He’s 81 and not as sharp as he used to be
So true.... bad night, especially next to #orangeman tanned face, #Biden looked frail and sickly, but the next night at Raleigh NC he was good
Biden did good things, see the interview here with the

#alsharpton on a few #msnbc shows said a few times this week, it's pure crazy racist #trump
Al Sharpton pointed out Trump is indited on #votingsuppression voting interference in Georgia
During the 1960/70s when people fought like hell to get the vote #FredTrumpSr was found guilty and fined for unfair businesses, aka racism to renters
The goal of Trump's talk is to GET MORE white #maga votes, you know he is talking in code, big time
and MSNBC is exposing this

On Dec 15 2023 Friday #msnbc #alsharpton said they were strong to fight back, knowing they were being attacked by the #rightwing pro #maga #foxnews crowd
Al Sharpton or Alicia Menendez pointed out they were told by some Republican Senators, they didn't vote to convict #trump because they were afraid for their family and themselves AND loosing reelection, Ruby and Shay were NOT afraid

#VicePresidentHarris to #AlSharpton in interview:
(August 12, 2023)
I love our #MadameVicePresident!
"Let’s not be manipulated and let’s not — let us not be deterred. We cannot be tired. We cannot be overwhelmed. But let us also, in this moment, understand the significance and the importance of bringing our country together around, again, foundational principles about who we are as America. And I say that as Vice President of the United States."
