Comments on: Al Sharpton on the Cover of Newsweek: Is He Still Necessary in the Age of Obama? http://highbridnation.com/2010/07/26/al-sharpton-on-the-cover-of-newsweek-is-he-still-necessary-in-the-age-of-obama/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:41:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: skinnygirluver http://highbridnation.com/2010/07/26/al-sharpton-on-the-cover-of-newsweek-is-he-still-necessary-in-the-age-of-obama/#comment-156752 skinnygirluver Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:53:20 +0000 http://highbridnation.com/?p=28247#comment-156752 Captain AFro-American. You gotta love that. I think he is necessary to bridge the gap with the generations of Blacks. The article was good but I can't help but to take away the fact that he's more necessary for the generations of Blacks that live together dealing with issues then with the Nation. We do not need a preacher/activist for this generation. I think electing Obama is a huge step in saying that we can work within the system to change things without having an Al Sharpton type person. I'm with Mr. Bad Guy. There is a place for him becasue there is still a generation of people that feel the way he does and he does represent them well. As far as thinking that if Al wasn't around there would be someone else. I honestly don't think so. Captain AFro-American. You gotta love that.

I don't know if its that he's not doing enough. I think the problems is he's cried wolf so much that everyone rolls their eyes white and unfortunately now black whenever he gets on TV. . I like your ambulance chaser analogy. I think your dead on with inability to effectively bridge the racial divide. I don’t know if its that he’s not doing enough.

I don't like the guy personally. In my personal opinon he is more reactive than proactive. He reminds me of an ambulance chaser, and only if those in that ambulance is a person of color, and the its against the cops/ big government. . He claims the title of CIVIL Rights Activist, but all I see is he is an Anti-Police/ Pro Black Activist. Title yourself correctly. I want to see if he will come to the aid of a white person who has been victimized by the system. In personal opinion, he doesn't do enough to bridge the racial divide. He does just enough to keeep himself relevant. . Some may claim its the media not portraying the other things he does within the community. Maybe? Possibly? But then that would be his job to portray those actions in the light he wants, but once again that would be proactive. . Don't get me wrong there is a place today for a man of his stature, a man with his connections and experience. But, I dont feel that its always neccessary in the every situation, and could be better utilized eleswhwere. . Once again this is my personal opinion. COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!!

Sharpton. Rev. Sharpton has paid his dues and it's time that he gets paid. He came to my church to talk but ended up preaching. REV SHARPTON WAS OFF THE CHAIN!!!!!
