‘Insulted’ Al Sharpton calls RNC report ‘an effort to win moderate whites’

Mar. 21, 2013 3:15pm Eddie Scarry

The new self-critical report by the Republican Nation Committee has upset MSNBC host Al Sharpton. The report calls for a series of changes to the Republican Party from technology to tone, even to attitudes on inclusion.

Sharpton, who spends an exhausting hour each weeknight calling Republicans liars, says it’s not enough…

He writes in the Huffington Post:

Last week, [RNC Chairman Reince] Priebus took his ‘minority outreach’ plans on the road and came to my hometown of Brooklyn. As he tried to convince the audience that his Party was going to do more to include minorities, Priebus never once indicated that their policies might shift. So there’s only two things to deduct from all of this: either he and the Republican Party are trying to appear that they are reaching out to people of color in an effort to win moderate Whites, or they really think that we are naïve enough to move to a Party that does not even remotely address our concerns or fight for our interests. Either way, we should be insulted. And they should be embarrassed.

Sharpton will never let his followers forget how much a victim they have become at the hands of the white man.

Should his followers achieve self confidence and personal responsibility, Old Al would be out of a job.
But of course, that will never happen as long as Al can keep his followers in line.

First Al, if your followers suddenly realize how ” leaderless ” they are, the ranks of the unemployed would rise by 1 ( one ) in Brooklyn.

Second. What has been referred to as ” leadership ” cannot be applied to your resume. Keep in mind that the Pied Piper was playing to directionless followers. They simply liked his tune but were clueless as to their destination. Should anyone, revered as an advocate of equality, lack the foresight
to name a goal, or seek the knowledge necessary to lead, they do a great disservice to their followers.
What a sad situation, when the opportunity to excel, is squandered because of self centered egotism.
Don’t let anger or acrimony cause unnecessary suffering on your followers.

Pooh, Pooh Al… the only thing he has going for him is when he dies the place he’s going is managed by a person of color.

This guy is insulted? This guy? Seriously? This guy is a walking-talking insult to everyone of any race that has common sense and three working brain cells. This guy is the most persistent “Never-was” in history! What a joke.

Sharpton is worried about job security as a race hustler. Personally, I don’t think he should be concerned. He has plenty of company among fellow Dems.
