I truly believe that "Reverend" Al suffers from racism and a bevy of other mental problems. Is he that bored to give a rat's patooie about Rush Limbaugh buying the NFL equivalent of "Cash for Clunkers?"

Tell you what, Sharpton - trust me on this - the St. Louis Rams do gainfully employ an African-American or two.

Al Sharpton doesn't suffer from racism, he helps promote it. If it wasn't for this promotion of racism He wouldn't of made the life and name sake he has.

Why are you still talking about Kanye West?? Kanye West is a grown man...what did you expect Al Sharpton to do? Go on national television and say "I think what Kanye West did was wrong and he's an *******"...what would have been the point of that?

The whole Kanye West thing is hilarious to me...we have celebs who have beat their spouses, been high out of their minds, driven drunk on the wrong side of the road, stealing, sold drugs, committed vehicular manslaughter, burnt down houses, been involved in shootouts, caught carrying guns, slept with underage girls, etc...and the world was fine and dandy but Kanye West snatches the mic away from a teenage girl on MTV and he's now the worst person in the world.

Moral of the story: it's okay to break the law as long as you're polite

I agree with you, but he does have a point. Sharpton would be all over that if a white dude took the mic from Beyonce and said what he said (in reverse of course). I believe he would REALLY be all over it if it was a country singer in that scenario. Also (in agreeing with you), Kanye West is going to pay for what he did financially far worse than the people who actually committed crimes. People should just get over it.

Obama did follow it and made a statement, although Obama didn't find the time to say something about the gang members who killed the honor student...maybe Sharpton can focus on issues in his own community....

Just one thing to point out bentle, it wasn't gang members that killed Derrion Albert.

Obama didn't make a statement...someone asked him a question and he answered it. Apparently no one except you cares what Al thinks of Kanye West therefore no one asked him.

I think using that as the qualifier, 99% of americans are unqulaified. Like we didnt comment about either of these players..
