My Media Brother Dr. Boyce Watkins Talks About Rev. Al Sharpton Being Chall

Monday, November 29, 2010 Al Sharpton Attacked by the New York Daily News by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University - Scholarship in Action  It's not easy fighting for civil rights and running organizations that stand up for the freedoms of the oppressed. If you're good at what you do, your enemies will try anything to take you down. On top of that, many of the people you are fighting for, via self-hatred, may be skeptical of your efforts and willing to partner with oppressive forces to undermine your work. Even worse, your constituents may not have the means to help you face the massive financial responsibility that comes with serving your community. Freedom damn sure ain't free, and most leaders...

Al Sharpton Hit with $285k Fine
2009-04-19 20:51:00
The NY Post: The Rev. Al Sharpton and his National Action Network have been slapped with a record $285,000 fine for violating a slew of federal election rules during his 2004 bid for president, the Post has learned. In a decision to be made public next month, the Federal Election Commission found that Sharpton’s Democratic primary campaign accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from private sources. Al Sharpton, in a typical pose It also “kept poor records of its activities and expenditures” and commingled funds with Sharpton’s civil-rights group. All are prohibited under the Federal Election Campaign Act. Interesting, how they had to wait until there was a Democrat in the White House before finally getting around to issuing a ruling on these misdeeds. There’s an awful lot more going on here than the commission finally decided to rule on. Indeed on the first pass Sharpton was to pay half a million dollars worth of fine. If all of th...

Al Sharpton Calls On Obama To Investigate Sean Bell Case
2008-11-08 19:05:00
The incoming attorney general in the Obama administration must make investigating police brutality a top priority, the Rev. Al Sharpton said Saturday."The minute we get a new attorney general, we must go to that attorney general and deal with the issue of police misconduct," Sharpton said in a fiery address at his Harlem headquarters."We must bring the case of Sean Bell and other cases that haven't been handled well in the states to the federal level."Sharpton said that federal investigations in the Abner Louima and Rodney King cases led to convictions, while state prosecutions in the cases of Bell and Amadou Diallo did not."We want a society where the police are not above the law," Sharpton said.The president-elect has yet to select an attorney general. Among those under consideration are Eric Holder, former deputy attorney general; Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano; Rep. Artur Davis, D-Ala.; and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick.Sharpton also said federal involvement would benefit law...

Al Sharpton’s big Mac attack
2008-04-28 02:56:00
The victim of a big Mac attack today is Al Sharpton, lover of criminals, and terrorist. How Sharpton loves criminals, Heather Mac Donald, City Journal: “Stop the killing!” Since 1993, 11,353 people have been murdered in New York City. The large majority of victims and perpetrators have been black. Not a single one of those black-on-black killings has prompted protest or demonstrations from the city’s black advocates. Sharpton, Barron, et al. are happy to let thousands of black victims get mowed down by thugs without so much as a whispered call for “peace” or “justice”; it’s only when a police officer, trying to protect the public, makes a good faith mistake in a moment of intense pressure that they rise as vindicators of black life. (As for caring about slain police officers, forget about it. Sixteen cops—including several black policemen—have been killed since 1999, not one of whom elicited a public demonstration of condolence from the race hustlers.) New York C...

'As much as things change, the more they stay the same,' DJ Drama says of acquitted police detectives.By Shaheem Reid, with additional reporting by Rahman Dukes Al Sharpton at his National Action Network headquarters on Friday Photo: MTV News Unadulterated anger, confusion but certainly not shock are some of the feelings that members of the hip-hop community have expressed about the verdict in the Sean Bell case. Three New York police detectives were acquitted Friday morning (April 25) of any wrongdoing in the Bell case. Bell was shot 50 times by the cops, who claim they thought he had gun after leaving his bachelor party in Queens. Investigations proved he was unarmed. "This is just another example that the justice system in America views a black life as worthless," Ice Cube bluntly fumed in a statement. "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know that shooting an innocent, unarmed man 50-plus times is an excessive use of force," Chamillionaire said. "... I'm sure a ...

Al Sharpton: Drop Dead!
2008-03-20 02:01:00
Just my riff on that famous NY tabloid headline: Ford To City: Drop Dead. What brass-balled WOR NYC talk show host Steve Malzberg really said to hypocritical sleazemeister Sharpton: "Shut Up, Al!" The crafty corrupt media-coddled creep Al was pretending he didn't "know" Obama's "spiritual adviser" Rev. Jeremiah Wright's anti-American, racist rants. Steve was on a Radio & Records Talk Radio Seminar panel moderated by ABC's "This Week's" George Stephanopoulos. George stood there like a potted plant as Steve, Al, and liberal talk radio dude Ed Shultz went at it. Steve, I love your spunk and guts to take on this a-hole everyone else fondles with kid gloves. There's more where this came from on my ChickaBoomBox You Tube page. I was dicking around all afternoon with my new editing toy and By Jove, I think I've got it! Also on the incendiary and sometimes funny panel March 14th in DC: Jim Bohannon, G. Gordon Liddy, Jeff Katz (WBT Charlotte), Phil Valentine, Stephanie Miller.
Al Sharpton hates the Redskins
2008-03-19 19:17:00
Not really Al Sharpton, though he is apparently the founder of the National Action Network which recently asked the NFL... The Rev. Al Sharpton's organization says Canton has not addressed complaints of police misconduct, so the civil rights group is asking the NFL to cancel this summer's Hall of Fame game in the city. Richard Jones heads the local chapter of the National Action Network, founded by Sharpton. Jones says the group also will publish contact information for black NFL stars so they can be urged to put pressure on the league. And not really "hates the Redskins" either, though that sounds a lot more dramatic than "doesn't want them to play a game" for civil rights reasons. I haven't the foggiest idea what symbolic effect canceling the Redskins v. Colts game could possibly have on alleged police misconduct by Canton authorities, but whatev. Sports By Brooks has the gruesome details on what allegedly went down: The CANTON REPOSITORY reports that Cortes Everett was arre...
Al Sharpton: A Whiter Shade Of Beyond The Pale
2008-03-17 11:26:00
Al Sharpton and conservative WOR NYC talk show guy Steve Malzberg were at each other's throats at last weekend's R&R Talk Radio Seminar. The two appeared on a panel that was supposed to resemble a presidential debate. The issue: Obama's "spiritual adviser" Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Sharpton had just slammed Hillary for trotting out surrogates like Geraldine Ferraro to attack Obama. But in the video clip I'm trying to edit and bring to you (I'm a novice at this) when it comes to Obama's surrogates "nobody's reponsible for what surrogates say."

The turnout only drew two-thirds of the usual suspects, or so I was told. WABC's Phil Boyce, Sean Hannity, Neal Boortz, among others, were M.I.A. over WABC Radio's septuagenarian conservative flamethrower fired-by-Phil Boyce-and-rehired-by Phil Boyce Bob Grant R&R giveth and taketh away "Lifetime Achievement Award." At the closing awards ceremony Saturday, Erica Farber, R&R's prez and publisher, gratefully thanked those who DID show up for this year's Talk Radio Seminar. I said goodbye to Erica on my way out. She bit her lower lip and looked like she was about to cry. The debacle wasn't her fault. Hardly. It was R&R's parent company Nielsen's wussy knee-jerk reaction to creep Scott Pellegrino's blast emails to Nielsen execs with a laundry list of Grant's past racist remarks. A gross overreaction to serial race-baiter and talk radio flamethrower Al Sharpton on the TRS menu. I wasn't the only one picking up the somber vibes. One guy told me it felt like "a funera...

Al Sharpton, NAACP choose violent rapists over victimized woman, child
2008-03-12 00:30:00
A woman and her son are assaulted in a government-subsidized hell in West Palm Beach, Fla., where poor folks are left to rot. Ten teenage boys rape the woman and beat her 12-year-old boy for three hours. They force their victims to lie naked in a tub together, make the woman perform oral sex on her child. Afterwards, they burn the mother's skin and blind the son with cleaning solution. In an act of monstrous arrogance, one perpetrator takes a cell phone picture of his handiwork; another leaves behind a used condom.No one in community hears anything or sees anything. The victims walk to the hospital, in the dark, on their own.If you called yourself a community leader, if you ran a national civil rights organization, if you claimed to devote yourself to the downtrodden, if you were, say, Al Sharpton and the West Palm Beach chapter of the NAACP, who in this sordid story would you offer succor to?
