Al Sharpton you ole' Baby Boomer sit down and shut up! Lol.

I'm on a roll today and since it's storming outside here in Atlanta I guess it's sign from God for me to stay put and bore you to death with another insane blog. But am I really insane or is it Al Sharpton who is calling for a march in Arizona to oppose the Immigration Law? I think it's Al that needs the straight jacket and not me. You see when you get old you start to lose your memory and say and do things out of touch with reality. Marches and protesting is old there's isn't enough young people around to do Marches Al or have you forgot most of the young Black people are in jail? How about we have a march about that? Or a march for murder of Oscar Grant which the trial came and went without any media attention whatsoever.

It's time for a real revolution and the first thing we need to do in our community is get rid of the old leadership like Al Sharpton that are sorely out of touch and always in the way. The murder of Sean Bell Al Sharpton organizes a march before the people could dictate what their respond would be. Maybe someone wanted to go get a gun and shoot the murdering bastards and let it be a death for a death. Sometimes the loss of life on both sides is what helps people understand each others mourning. Because look when you work out the strategy what was Al Sharpton hoping to accomplish with a march and protest? Whites don't experience Police Brutality Murders and they are in denial about Police Profiling even exists and this will be a fact after a 100 marches and a 1000 protests. So Al Sharpton's strategy is to speak to the choir? Oh! I forgot he is a preacher and that's what they normally do for a living. Lol.

What's this insane save the Latino or Hispanic march about? How does their struggle tie in with our struggle as African Americans? For too long the Civil Rights crowd has trumped African American Politics with this nonsense movement that should've been like Malcolm X advocated focused upon Human Rights instead. Preventing opportunities to prosperity, creating jobless communities, red lining communities, incarcerating millions all on the basis of a made up thing called race isn't that anti-human rights? How long can human beings exist under such oppression? In another 50 years where will be the African American community which already leads the nation and most of the world in negative statistics meaning that we are nearing extinction by mass murder or holocaust being commited by the American government on the local, state and federal levels.

Now to turn our attention to Hispanics causes and issues when we have our own how does that help us? I know about the sense MLK made when he said, "An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere?" But MLK said that to mobolize African Americans too see that plight as a national one and not to be divided by the Mason Dixon line. What made sense then is turned into nonsense now in order to fuel the continuation of a African American Misleadership class that has run out of solutions and is no longer effective. How so? Look at the conditions of African Americans now and tell me is the leadership effective. Look at the growing gap or should I say canyon between African American income and European American income.

None of you or should I say Civil Rights followers can defend the outdated mode of your thinking. Hispanic leadership both civil and activist has nothing to say about the cold blooded murders that are done at the hands of Latino Criminals clearing the way of African Americans is Southern California. They aren't even returning our gesture of friendship and common minority status. Yet they are more than too happy to undermine us in the labor market and take cheap pay cuts and live off the stereotypes that African Americans are lazy and Latinos are hardworkers.

I know I didn't live in the times when our ancestors faced lynchings, murder and being burned alive but I do have some understanding that is nothing similar to be here illegally and being deported back to your own country. Hispanics have to face up to the corruption in their countries committed by their own bretheren against them. Our ancestors paid with blood, sweat and tears, fought in wars and marched and protested under constant death to be able to have some small measure of Civil Rights although we deserved more! Hispanics have come here and spit on Civil Right since they have been here saying along it's a Black problem. They enjoyed jobs we were denied and live in close proximity to Whites while we had to live in ghettos. Now they are challenging us over the ghettos out of greed and envy of our success. And we're going to defend and march in their behalf?

Al Sharpton you are a disgrace want to be MLK when you couldn't tie that man's shoe laces when he was alive. MLK wrote about the Other America one White and the other Black. MLK focused his attention on issues concerning African Americans in the South whom experienced Jim Crow everyday of their lives. He brought them relief and he connected those upNorth and out West with that struggle. What you are doing Al Shaprton is alienating African Americans especially from Californian who know all to well Hispanics aren't our friends and will gladly betray us as soon as we are done fighting their battle. Meanwhile our own battle fronts need manning and when will you stop getting in the way of the natural response mode of people tired of seeing their sons murdered by bastard racist cops out to kill a ***** for a trophy statement?

Things that make you go hmmmm...are the things that make you sound like you're ready to listen.

There's a very thin line between insanity and genius my friend. An old person like you has probably heard that quote a time or few.

@ Clark, the best thing about being O-L-D is during tis modern day when this generation is trying to kill each other off with any thing but hard work and hidden guns which in the past 2 years have been up graded to assault weapons.They have now moved up to out in the open assault weapons any place and at any time...and now almost REQUIRED AS A SOCIAL LAW ABIDING CLASS...

IN the good old days we YOUNG (NOW o-l-d) only expected may be a few would get hung for going to the poll...MAY be getting a little wet at school recess / even have a car accident as we crused in our cars (drive by not even invented yet)!!!! oh well thats the modern age progress ...(smile)
