UPDATED - Numbskull Speaks Sharpton's Logic: If it negatively affects African Americans, blame it on White America
(After further consideration, I determined that referring to someone as "numbskull" is inappropriate and ungracious)
“Broken levees are weapons of mass destruction.”
Al Sharpton, speaking Saturday at the Million More Movement demonstration in Washington D.C., apparently implying that levees were intentionally breached in order to wipe out African Americans in New Orleans.
This is, unfortunately, what people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and others think. It is their M.O., making sure that America remains "Black" and "White." Oh, I'm sure much, if not all, of Sharpton's motives are politically driven, perhaps wanting another shot at the White House. However, the only thing he has to stand on are his accusations of racism, even the absolutely absurd ones like suggesting levees were used as weapons against black people.
Now, certainly there is plenty of racism that still exists in this country against black people (not to mention the kind of "reverse racism" exhibited by Sharpton and friends) and all of it is an abomination. However, when that is the heart and soul of his platform, images of a black George Wallace come to mind when I think of what would happen to this country if Sharpton's brand of racism actually made it to the White House.

Very very true. We have to ask ourselves, who are the ones promoting racism?
