The Rev. Al Sharpton listens during an interview at his office, Thursday, July 30, 2020, in New York. For more than three decades, Sharpton, 65, has been an advocate for Black American families seeking justice in the wake of violence that highlight systemic racism.
The man who helped popularize the 1980s cry, “No justice, no peace,” is putting himself at the center of a new wave of activism, in a new millennium.For more than three decades, Sharpton, 65, has been a go-to advocate for Black American families seeking justice and peace in the wake of violence and countless incidents that highlight systemic racism.
The Al Sharpton who grabbed the spotlight in the 1980s was a rotund young man in a track suit, his neck garlanded by a chain and medallion and his hair in a pompadour -- a remnant of his days as James Brown’s tour manager. And in 1989, Sharpton’s attention was drawn to the death of Yusuf Hawkins, a Black teenager fatally shot after being confronted by a mob of white youths in Bensonhurst, a historically Italian-American neighborhood of Brooklyn.As explored in the recent HBO documentary, “Storm Over Brooklyn,” Sharpton’s work on the Hawkins case was widely seen as the main cause of flared tensions between Black and white communities in New York City.
Today, the track suits and chains are long gone, replaced by tailored suits over a frame that is less than half the size of what it once was. But the fire is still there. “One of the follies of youth, including me when I was young, is you think you’re the first one to do what you do,” Sharpton said. “There ain’t nothing new. If you don’t have that kind of back and forward , which Dr. King used to call creative tension, then you ain’t got no movement.”
Shopton should never be given a platform to spread his hatred bigotry and lies
Shopton is a racial activist who constantly lies going back to the Tawana Brawley incident which was totally fabricated he is a disgrace to the American people
Literally the most irrelevant human alive today.
Fraud
Hustlers got to hustle.
He'll do anything for a paycheck.
He’s only there when there’s a paycheck.
.......for money. you forgot that text at the end of your title.
Al Sharpton will do more harm that good. It's sad.
He's trying to make himself relevant.
Gotta get that money
Sharpton ran a protection racket making racial issues disappear for the right price. He's of no value in the current situation. These anarchists rioters aren't even black, don't care about black people and sure as hell won't be taking any orders from Reverend Al.
Grifters continue to grift...news at 11....
Watch out Jews in Crown heights
Must need more money to not pay taxes on.
He’s the same race baiting ambulance chaser he’s always been.
Yea. He used that when he lead a riot against Jews. HE as the baddie. The racist. The evil one. Context is a funny thing...
He has too much blood on his hands for me to give a damn about him or his opinions.
A new generation to grift off of that hasn't heard about his bullshit yet.
By screaming at Jews, hating them and encouraging violence. Do you guys ever do anything right?
Wasn't that when he was provoking people to chase the Jewish community out of Crown Heights?
And he is still a charlatan!
“Rev” Blasphemous. Race hustling is a life long guaranteed money-maker though. Big Al rolling in phat stacks.
The worlds greatest grifter.
Oy vey
Grifters gonna grift.
Grifters gotta grift.
Of course he is. There's a huge opportunity here for attention and raking in shakedown money from guilt ridden corporations who don't want riots on their doorstep.
Will he pay his taxes?
I'm sorry he is NOT the guy I'd be looking to for racial reconciliation in this country.
Justice for Tawana Brawley!
Oppotunist.
Antisemitic trash.
Race-baiter
Why is al protesting when blacks kill blacks?
Is that why the Continent of Africa remains divided? There is no Justice in China yet there seems to be peace in the CCP.
Is it really a good idea to put the biggest race baiting huckster at the forefront of this movement?
Google Freddy’s Fashion Mart.
Has he paid his millions in back taxes yet?
Al Sharpton whole life has been spent as a scumbag opportunist.. nothing else.
You forgot to forget his four and a half million dollar tax bill that he has not been paying to the IRS for what, a decade
Yeah, when he was leading an antisemitic mob. Get job, AP.
Must be some $$ to be had.
When hasn't he placed himself in the center of a new grift?
You mean the cocaine dealer turned government informant? That Al Sharpton?
One of the most despicable racists alive today.
Hustler, race baiter, opportunist. Yeah, just what the country needs.
'Bobblehead.'
Al Sharpton is a race hustling charlatan who should be banished from polite society.
He running low on cash?
Ya, for the Police and their families.
He also perpetuated a phony claim of a racist attack on a young lady, all in order to line his own pockets. He is a racist grifter.
He gets away with it because these tantrum throwing toddlers never heard of Tawana Brawley
Really? Do you know why and to whom he was aiming that chant towrds. Jews. He's not an activist. He's an opportunist.
$$$ talks
How do you know when your “mission” has been highjakced for $$ and political gain? When TheRevAl shows up!
Of course the race baiter is
Comparing Reverends Jackson and Sharpton, both race hustlers to Julian Bond or John Lewis Is wrong! Please stop the absurdity, please!
Heheheh. Al Sharpton is a con man and a charlatan. Tawana Brawley. Look her up.
New York background checks for gun purchases spiked 121% in June: Report The FBI processed 52,252 background checks for New Yorkers seeking to buy firearms
New York City is dead forever
mad rush for the exits as New York City goes down the tubes
Nearly 1 in 3 workers said they would move to a new city or state if remote work continued indefinitely. Some people have moved to less expensive places, or to be closer to family or nature. Among the top priorities? Outdoor space and home office space.
He should put himself in jail.
That guy is as much of a bigot as anyone
Al shows up at the funerals to shakedown the families. The lowest of all lifeforms.
He owes millions in back taxes, why hasn’t he been arrested?
Grifter
The BLM riots are 100% inline with Al Sharpton's work with Freddy's Fashion Mart.
I thought it was no taxes no jail
The man that got an innocent Jewish man lynched in Crown Heights?
Is he a reverend of the Devil? One things for certain he definately is not A MAN OF GOD! Because God would strike him down for his evil thoughts alone.
He's an antisemite bigot who won't pay his taxes. No serious person listens to him.
Didn’t he start riots with a race hoax and antisemitism? 🤔
How is he coming on his back taxes he still owes?
All this Caos is happening NOW on trump’s watch we have it NOW it’s not coming it’s here, on trumps. Watch. If anything Biden would inherit this caos.
I guess he’s TheRevAl running out of money. 🤷🏻♂️
In case people may have forgotten what a despicable human being Al Sharpton is...he makes me puke!
This peaceful sh-t destroyed a lot of people’s lives
fbi informant, crackhead, irs indebted, murderer, and slanderer who never paid civil lawsuits. the media is 100 percent garbage and lies. journalists are terrorists
Sharpton is a thug! Put him in jail!
Must be his bank account is getting low....
Has he paid Steve Pagones yet? Tawana Brawley did.
Turn the other cheek has never worked. Wait for you time has never worked. It is time to take what belongs to you. If you are not respected do not give respect. If people hate you, return the favor. if they kick you, kick them back.
He got rich off off race baiting, yet never doing anything to help the communities in need. He wanted to keep his slaves in check, to protect his check.
Yeah sure...the professional race baiter must need to fill his coffers, running low on funds
If he’d only pay his tax bill.... THEN he should have a voice, until then, he’s nothing more than a dead beat!
No he is not. Al Blunton is a fraud, a fool and a criminal.
Watch out for Mr. Charlatans protege, his heir apparent, Benjamin Crump. Crump, another up-and-coming race hustler, cut his teeth on the Trayvon Martin hoax.
A race baiter who benefits from stirring up division.
The people chanting that regularly are creating the injustice they complain about thereby creating the world's first perpetual bitchfest energy machine.
Al Sharpton has always been a con man and always will be. Complete garbage AP good job!
Spoiler: Sharpton popularized the term 'No Justice, No Peace' when helping lead an 𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈-𝐒𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐂 𝐌𝐎𝐁 against Jews in Crown Heights.
Gotta earn those Benjamins...
Only FOOLS BELIEVE SHARPTON!
Feed AL the money. You’ll have another decade of no improvement
He is the worst possible spokesperson for BLM.
Just what 2020 needs.........🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🐍🤦🤦🤦🤦
Why would you listen to a poverty pimp like Al when you can listen or read Bob Woodson or Clarence Henderson? Free your mind from scum like Al.
was that his slogan for killing jews?
Aka race baiter
Has he paid his taxes yet...
Al Sharpton is a race baiting bigot. He has no respect for anything except money and power. You would have to be a fool to give a damn what he thinks
Freddie’s Fashion Mart
Will Tawana Brawley be involved?
Fact Check: The RACIST Rev. Al Sharpton. This man knows nothing except how to incite more hate to guarantee his paycheck. Sad.
How he keeps going at his age! I guess his activism is not too ... . . . Wait for it ... . . . . Taxing! YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH !
Just say no
He is a charlatan!
Yes that's what America needs now...this obnoxious race baiting grifter.
What was the context?
Made him millions
Remember Freddy's Fashion Mart?
He is an anti Semitic bigot!
The long grift continues. It has made him a VERY wealthy man.
It's almost as if he has been shouting this for decades, and nothing has happened. Hmm.. there's a word for that.
Tawana Brawley.
Politics 101: Never let a good crisis goto waste.
Translation - ‘Race huckster, who profits from spreading hate, is looking to profit once again.
He’s also a raging antisemite who caused the deaths of at least 8 people but I guess we don’t worry about that.
The face of racism and pure evil. He should have been jailed years ago.
king of the race bating poverty pimps! he'd never lie about an incident, either!
Conman and tax dodger Al? Wow you are REALLY going downhill...quick...
Making money...
Please google Freddy’s Furrier. Or Tawana Brawley. Or Stephen Pagones. Or Sharpton/IRS. I can go on....
I love the cause, but when Al Sharpton is involved, everyone needs to watch their wallets.
Disgusting human. Dr. King has to be rolling over in his grave witnessing what his ‘friend’ turned into.
AP sure does like carrying water for that vile anti-Semite Al
Let me guess. Burn it all down.
Just trying to make more money and avoid paying taxes. He’s an opportunist, no different than looters.
He did a great job - I especially remember Tawana Bradley. He must have finally gotten the egg off his face.
Gotta pay the bills, just not the taxes..
Al right now...
This man is only interested when he's getting something out of it. Media Coverage and Money.
The Rev. Al Sharpton, who also cried ...
The Rev. Al Sharpton, a man who also cried, 'I believe in offing the pigs.'
Like he put himself at the center at Freddie's Fashion Mart?
There’s a buck to be made.
Unsurprising that AP and NBC are so laudatory of race-baiting charlatans.
Stop with the gaslighting of the anti-semetic, race baiting charlatan, who is repsonsible for multiple deaths.
CocaineIsExpensive Grifter MiseryMerchant
he must need to shakedown people for money for no work.
He's antisemitic, tax evading, race baiter. Sure, let's choose him to lead a movement.
Decades later Al lives off the cuff, spewing hate, selling division, and no one has the balls to call him out
You why they never came out with an Al Sharpton stamp? No one would know which side to spit on.
Doesn’t he still owe 4.5 million in taxes? Damn. I owe 300 bucks and I get letter.
Al Sharpton is a racial huckster.
Al should be in jail
Al Sharpton is in it for himself. He has always been in it for the money.
Rent o Riot Sharpton.
now report all the fake cases he supported and the taxes he didn't pay and should be in jail for failure to pay.
Sharpton is a race hustler who has been shaking down corporations with fear of being labeled racist.
He needs more money.
Where’s Farrakhan’s flossy glow up? Holy shit.
sharpton needs to go
That's how poverty pimps make money. RaceBaiting
The Chief Race Baiter and Master of Lies himself.
I love this guy he's a hoot. Rev. Al Sharpton has had the best outraged act for decades. His trade mark ' “No justice, no peace,” serves all people, causes and all occasions.
Must need money
He need's to stop calling himself 'reverend'. He clearly has an issue that doesn't sound Godly.
Has he paid his past due taxes yet?
Race baiter Al Sharpton. Report it correctly.
Grifter criminal
Yes, just like him to inject himself into something to gain the spotlight.
Sharpton has made a nice living off black suffering.
Sharpton got people killed. He owed back taxes for years. Media deified because he is black
Rev follows the money.
Bringing back Tawana Brawley?
And no paying my taxes
Maybe he's made a career on the grifting of racial issues.
I’m a BLM supporter, but going way back I know that Al jumping in doesn’t help anything.
Hard pass
AL Sharpton is a race hustler, nothing more.
Grifters gonna grift.
Race pimp needs to pay his taxes
people need to hear that phrase 'no justice, no peace clearly' This is not a threat or a choice. It's the liberals promise to Americans if they have their way.
Of course he is putting himself front and center
Of course he is.
He’s the black trump
Just in time to make everything worse. Unreal
We have neither justice nor peace in America, and it looks like we never will.
What does decades have to do with it? It should apply every day, every hour, every year, every decade, every century. Do we not need justice now or peace now all of a sudden?
This guys a joke
Cashing in too
He’s the Joe Biden of civil rights. Spent 50 years, accomplished very little, made himself lots of cash.
Maybe get someone with some credibility
Two words. Crown Heights
Yankel Rosenbaum - say his name
The man who led anti-Semitic riots in Crown Heights. Who led the Tawana Brawley and Duke Lacrosse race hoaxes. Who called a Jewish store owner in Harlem a white interloper and led a mob that burned down his store. Extortionist. Race hustler. Tax cheat.
The Rev. Al not-so Sharpton is nothing but America's favorite race-hustling grifter. Twanna Al is a fraud and a scumbag.... Hey Al have you paid your back taxes yet askin 4 friend....
Sharpton must be running low on cash. He needs to get out and generate some controversy so he can make more dough to service his private jet.
Mr. Racist
It’s called “Shift the Grift” in the race baiting industry
The family of Yankel Rosenbaum is still seeking justice and peace.
But plenty of $$$ for his pockets. 😂
Raging Anti-Semite says what?
Ah, the FBI informing, tax evading, homophobic reverend, who got rich off injustice through his 'charity.' And who could forget Tawana Brawley? Find better heroes, this one is defective.
I'm with the Rev NoJusticeNoPeace
He incited a literal lynch mob that murdered an innocent Jewish man in Crown Heights.
The King of Grifters...
He’s the biggest race baiting grifter in America’s history
IF TRUMP IS PRESIDENT....SHARPTON DESERVES TO BE HIS VICEPRESIDENT......😂😂😂😂😂😂
One of the biggest racists there is. How many private jets does he own?
The racist anti Semitic convicted fraudster Al Sharpton or a different one?
Well, this is a take.
🆘 please help us! 😭😭
I never thought I would see the day the AP would delegitimize itself. Propping up people like Sharpton is dangerous.
Is he running out of money?
Snake oil salesmen
Damn covid hurting his pockets too. Al needs that check his weight watchers account past due
He seems like the guy no one invited but just shows up anyway.
The puppet master shows his face once again
Time for a new voice. All due respect but this guy already had his turn and failed.
Can we go 15 minutes without his opinion?
Race-baiter supreme tries cashing in once more. There fixed it for ya, associated pr-i-cks.
And oily publicity hound who has done nothing but steal from the black community. An uneducated black stereotype who has promised the black community forty acres and a mule that will not happen.
That's kind of his thing. He always puts himself in the middle of someone else's activism. Where do you think he has made his money?
He’s correct as there is still much to do for Justice for All .
Bullshit
The supply of racism in the US today will never meet Sharpton's demand for racism. Human consciousness is on the rise and he can't stop it.
Solid choice to have a race hustler and tax evader
It may not seem like it right now but hate, bigotry and white supremacy is losing. Faith in God, Hope in humanity and Love of our fellow human beings will win in the end. BlackLivesMatter
Who?
Rev Al, like most activists, erred much in his heyday but now needs to pick up the gauntlet and become the voice of this generation of a competent Black Civil Rights movement
