Al Sharpton Claims Gun Control Is Civil Rights Because People Can't Do M...

Of course the Democratic king maker is advocating for gun control. For someone who fights for black people sure loves making them easy victims.

Some of Sharpton’s defenders contend that he has had a change of heart, but there is no evidence to substantiate this assertion. The only semblance of an admission on Sharpton’s part is that he has relayed the anecdote of Coretta Scott King chastising him for using “cheap” rhetoric to get “cheap applause.” He also noted that he was supposedly appalled by the Palestinians’ “pay-for-slay” policy. Why he just realized that is anyone’s guess.
On the Jewish calendar, as we approach Rosh Hashanah, the New Year, we are taught that it is a time to perform teshuvah or “repentance.” It is a requisite of teshuvah that we specifically acknowledge our actions and the harms they have caused.
There is also precious little indication that Greenblatt will engage in teshuvah for the serious harm he has caused the once great organization that he now heads.
During the Crown Heights riots, Rabbi Shea Hecht worked across racial lines to reach a harmonious resolution of the conflict.  He subsequently co-chaired the Crown Heights Coalition with African-American Dr. Edison O. Jackson.
Asked about the ADL’s current partnership with Sharpton, Rabbi Hecht said, “It is shocking, but then again not. The ADL was not there for us when the riots happened. Still, in some ways what is going on now is worse. The great sage Hillel the Elder famously asked, ‘If I am not for me then who will be for me?’ It does not appear that the ADL is fully there for the Jews in Crown Heights. While I believe that anyone can become our ally, it does not appear that this is being done the right way.”

Things People Blame the Jews For, Volume LXIV: Al Sharpton
Among the more prominent fusions of antisemitism and racism is the idea that Black political leaders are really just mouthpieces of the Jews. It combines a belief in Black inferiority (obviously, they can't think for themselves) with a belief in Jewish conspiracy (they're pulling the strings behind the scene).
I pulled this tweet -- a beneficiary of Elon's "blue check" destruction -- not just because it's a sterling example of the genre, but because its choice of example is positively baffling:
The Black Community is in dire need of strong black voices to represent them. Al Sharpton is a pissant sycophant working for the Jews who made him into the charlatan he is today. All Black voices in DC were created & given their positions by the Jews ...who tell them what to…
— The White Lady (@NephilimWatcher) May 19, 2023
(I don't even know what to make about concluding with the motto for "Survivor". So we'll just move along....)
Again, the core allegation here is not unique. But specifically citing Al Sharpton as the template -- that's a decision. To be sure, I don't think in the year 2023 it's useful to reduce Rev. Sharpton just to his role in the Crown Heights riot. But certainly that rather specific history Sharpton has with the Jews makes him an odd choice to hold out as your paradigm case of a Black voice under Jewish control.
What I'm saying is that racists need to learn better history. Among other things they need to learn.

What happened? MSNBC did it again. The left-wing network invited Al Sharpton, a notorious anti-Semite, on Morning Joe to explain why his fellow anti-Semites shouldn't be given a public platform.
Seriously? Yes.
Why? Because Al Sharpton supports the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party supports him.
What did he say? Sharpton was asked to discuss reports that former president Donald Trump had dinner with Kanye West, the rap artist whose ongoing mental breakdown has featured several outbursts of virulent anti-Semitism, and Nick Fuentes, the dough-faced 24-year-old incel who spouts anti-Semitism like a toddler making farting noises.
"As a preacher, I can tell you that if you just preach to the choir, if you turn around and there's no one in the audience or in the congregation, you and the choir become irrelevant," Sharpton said. "And I think that that is what [Donald Trump and the Republican Party] are doing. They've emptied out the church, so to speak, because people that really do not want to go that far and be perceived [as] or in fact be bigots, biased, anti-Semites, racists are not gonna continue to allow them to preach to the choir that they think extols this."
The anti-Semite went on to suggest that Republicans who tolerate anti-Semites "must deep down inside have some of that bias and bigotry" within themselves. "Why would you tolerate this unless there is some hidden bias in you?"
Sort of like how MSNBC tolerates Al Sharpton? Indeed.
Context: Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough, a former congressman, sponsored a March 2000 resolution condemning Sharpton's "vicious verbal anti-Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith," as well as his "fierce demagoguery [that] incited violence, riots, and murder in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York." The Crown Heights riots of August 1991 constituted one of the worst outbursts of anti-Semitic violence in American history.
"Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid," Sharpton said at the funeral of Gavin Cato, the seven-year-old whose accidental death instigated the riots that Sharpton proceeded to inflame. One attendee at the funeral carried a sign that read, "Hitler didn't finish the job."

After actor Michael Richards had an onstage meltdown at the Laugh Factory in 2006, he was universally condemned for shouting the N-word repeatedly at a table of Black hecklers. 
The only person to defend his rant was veteran comedian Elayne Boosler.
“You know why Richard looked so shell-shocked at his own outburst?,” asked Boosler. “Because he’s not a racist, he was simply in the zone. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, far from demanding apologies, should have apologized to Bill Cosby, who tried to point out … how some blacks are undercutting their own dignity and chances.”

Kathy Hochul is doing her best to illustrate to New Yorkers that she lives in a left-wing information bubble and has no idea what is going on in her state. On Friday, she tried to make an issue of the state of “political discourse” and blame it for the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, but she shot her own message in the foot by launching this argument on the radio show of a left-winger known for his own incendiary rhetoric. On Sunday, the floundering New York governor went on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC showto remind voters how unserious and unconcerned she is about crime, calling it a “conspiracy” for New Yorkers to believe that they are unsafe:
“These are master manipulators. They have this conspiracy going all across America trying to convince people in Democratic states that they’re not as safe. Well guess what? They’re also not only election deniers, they’re data deniers,” she told the show’s host, the Rev. Al Sharpton. “Safer places are the Democratic states,” she claimed. Murders were down by 14% in New York City compared with last year, but all other major crimes were up — including a 33% rise in robberies, police statistics show.
This is yet another example of elected Democrats being unable to tell the difference between getting the press to buy their media talking points and saying things that are actually believable to voters who have eyes and ears and can observe the world around them.
Worse, at a time of rising concern over antisemitism, the governor of New York is blessing Al Sharpton with her presence — something she has previously done by appearing on his show and speaking to his organization. Sharpton is as toxic a figure as exists in American public life. I have detailed at great length here and here Sharpton’s many sins, which include inciting murder, riot, and arson, leading a hoax rape accusation against innocent men, antisemitism, and tax evasion. As Joe Scarborough recited in a congressional resolution back in 2000:
Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has referred to members of the Jewish faith as ‘‘bloodsucking [J]ews’’, and ‘‘Jew bastards’’; Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has referred to members of the Jewish faith as ‘‘white interlopers’’ and ‘‘diamond merchants’’;… Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton’s vicious verbal anti-Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith, and in particular, a Jewish landlord, arising from a simple landlord-tenant dispute with a black tenant, incited widespread violence, riots, and the murder of five innocent people; Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton’s fierce demagoguery incited violence, riots, and murder in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York, following the accidental death of a black pedestrian child hit by the motorcade of Orthodox Rabbi Menachem Schneerson; Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton led a protest in the Crown Heights neighborhood and marched next to a protester with a sign that read, ‘‘The White Man is the Devil’’; Whereas the Reverend Al Sharpton has insulted members of the Jewish faith by challenging Jews to violence and stating to Jews to ‘‘pin down’’ their yarmulkes…
All of which is, one must assume, just fine by Kathy Hochul.

Harry Belafonte Dead at 96
- “He cared about the disenfranchised and entertained us at the same time,” Michael Des Barres says
Harry Belafonte, the singer, actor and activist known as “The King of Calypso,” died April 25 in New York of congestive heart failure, the Associated Press reports.
He was 96.
“May the great Harry Belafonte rest in love and peace,” Todd Rundgren’s Spirit of Harmony Foundation said.
With such hits as “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” and “Jamaica Farewell,” Belafonte was also an actor and activist. He was a friend of Martin Luther King Jr. and a tireless advocate for civil rights and societal justice.
“He cared about the disenfranchised and entertained us at the same time,” Michael Des Barres said of Belafonte.
A “heartbroken” Al Sharpton eulogized Belafonte as “a history-changing activist, a culture-changing entertainer and an unmatched intellectual,” in a post on social media.
“You were the brightest star in every sense of that word,” Angélique Kidjo said on social media.
“Your passion, your love, knowledge and respect for Africa was unlimited and unmatched. You have helped and supported so many … and I am grateful for all the advice and all the love you gave me. Your wisdom made me strong and your music inspired me.”
The music also inspired Al Di Meola, who was listening to Belafonte “way before Elvis and the Beatles.
“I remember listening to Harry Belafonte on the radio, noticing the different sound he had compared to what else was playing,” the guitarist wrote on Facebook. “What a legend.”
“We lost a big one,” Taj Mahal said.
