Reply #161: What about it? If the topic were Lott, it would be pertinent [View All]

But the topic is Sharpton.

you failed to mention the difference between the power of an al sharpton vs. the power of a trent lott or john ashcroft...the difference is glaringly obvious...at least to me.

The reason I didn't mention it is because it's irrelevant here and, as you point out, it's obvious. You're not stupid, so I didn't point it out.

yeah, sharpton is the equivalent of a lott or an ahscorft...is that what YOU reall believe? really? whatthefuckever...

How about actually reading what I stated? As in The subject is their equivalent, only outside the halls of elected office. Ergo, he doesn't have the power that they have, but he exhibits the same tendencies and characteristics.

race-baiting certainly wasn't invented by sharpton, nor does he have the power to enact of enforce its most damaging manifestations.

No one is claiming he invented it, so what's you point? As for the power, he is a media figure, and therefore an influence, regardless of whether to the same degree as those media figures with political power. As such, his statements and actions make him a profoundly immoral man.

no matter how much you try...you can never equate the impact of a sharpton to a lott. such is the nature of the american beast.

I didn't ever try to equate their impact, now did I?
