The great divider is up to his old tricks. 

""The manipulation of African-Americans [in Florida] is disgraceful ... You incentivize killing people," he declared. "'Stand your ground' laws must end." He went on to assert that a boycott of the "apartheid state" of Florida would be in order if the U.S. Department of Justice failed to file a civil lawsuit against Zimmerman.

You know Yawn I used to believe precisely that.

Don't give them an audience and they'll shut up.

But I am more and more convinced as the years go by that the sad truth is that no neither he nor the rest of his ilk will just go away if we ignore them.

Clearly the race baiting, hateful rhetoric spewed by Jackson and his ilk Ie: Sharpton was ingored for a long long time by the majority in this nation.

And that ignorance is precisely why they now today have the fans soaking up every word, that they do.

I am more than ever now convinced that we as a society are far better to respond to race baiters like Jackson, publicly take their positions and claims on, publicly refute and disprove, and expose these bigots and their hypocritical race baiting for precisely what it and they are.

Embarrass them into silence.

Because the alternative, simply ignoring them, only serves to allow them to mislead others who are ignorant of what these race baiting bigots truly represent.
One of every five Americans you meet has a mental illness of some sort. Many, many, of our veteran's suffer from mental illness like PTSD now also. Help if ya can. :) http://www.projectsemicolon.org/share-your-story.html
And no you won't find my "story" there. They don't allow science fiction. :)

I was being sarcastic. My apologies for not using the sarcastica font (comic sans -- get it?).

I actually fully agree with the part in red.

Good luck with that apology.

Sharpton doesn't even have to pay the judgements levied against him.

Apparently there's special law for him.  Even before Holder lol.
