Sharpton Tired of Not Being in the Spotlight After 1 Day
Not satisfied with being effectively removed from the public eye after the firing of Don Imus, Al Sharpton announced that some people were sending in death threats to his office. Apparently the average Joe doesn’t like race-baiting pieces of garbage…
NEW YORK WCBSTV.com learned early Saturday that the National Action Network has increased the Rev. Al Sharpton’s security due to a number of death threats in the wake of the firing of radio host Don Imus by MSNBC and CBS Radio.
There will also be added security at the National Action Network’s headquarters in Harlem.
“We have no way of knowing the seriousness of these threats, but they have intensified greatly in the last two days as Rev. Sharpton was figured prominently in the firing of Don Imus,” Attorney Charlie King said in a statement early Saturday morning.
“Since Rev. Sharpton survived a personal assassination attempt where he was stabbed, we take any and all threats, especially at this volume, very serious. Therefore, all may be comfortable that we will not take the safety of our staff or that of our President lightly.â€
That’s a pretty slick way to get more attention out of this story. Good one, Al, you piece of racist garbage.

I just wonder why there has been no outrage on behalf of women from Mr. Sharpton or Mr. Jackson against the disgusting portrayal of black women on these viedo produced by black men in the hip hop and rap music industry. Is the message that only white people will be punished for these horrible remarks and the black men are freee to express themselves in ANY way they think will turn a dollar? Outrage should be registered equally. Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson are bigger racist that others. You cannot have it both ways.
