None other than Al “Tawana Brawley” Sharpton.
Via Washington Examiner’s Gregory Cane:
Has Al Sharpton even set foot in Chicago this summer?
Oh, we all know what the good revvum’s role was in the Trayvon Martin shooting. Sharpton managed to get himself down to Sanford, Fla., for rallies.
He had Martin’s parents, Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton, sitting in the Washington offices of his National Action Network when second-degree murder charges were announced against George Zimmerman, the man charged who killed Trayvon.
And, on Sunday, July 1, Sharpton made sure he was at the Black Entertainment Television Awards show to pick up his — hope you’re sitting down for this one — humanitarian award.
Oh, yes indeedy, the man who once talked about a Harlem merchant being a “white interloper” and is generally given credit for inspiring someone to torch the man’s store got a humanitarian award. I guess the qualifications for “humanitarian” have been ratcheted down quite a bit over the years.
During his acceptance speech, Sharpton said he wants bigots to tremble at the thought of his waking up in the morning.
Oh really? Does the good revvum really believe black America’s main problems these days come from white bigots? (Sharpton didn’t specifically mention white bigots, but we can be sure that’s what he meant. But whatever race he was referring to, don’t you just love it when people who toss around phrases like “white interloper” wax indignant about bigots and bigotry?)
This is a man who desperately needs to visit Chicago, where black-on-black violence this summer has gone beyond the pale.
Speaking of bigots, this is also the man who challenged a “punk faggot” to fight him on national TV.
