It’s people like Sharpton that ensure the problems in back community are never resolved.

SHARPTON: We aggressively — the National Action Network and the civil rights community — supported a jobs bill, support infrastructure development. Because when we go and challenge men in our community to say, ‘You’ve got to stand up and you’ve got to be responsible’ — they need jobs. They need training.

So at one hand, we can’t expand the public sector for jobs. At another hand, they say, well, we’re being harassed and treated differently by law enforcement. So we’ve got to strike a balance that is not in our power to do, which is why we’re going at the Congress to make that possible.

You can’t kill a jobs bill and infrastructure and then tell men to take care of their families. You can’t have it both ways.
