Sorry - I can not take his opinions as fact and gospel. I feel he has too many agendas, hidden and otherwise.

I have great admiration and respect for Rev. Sharpton. The first time I ever heard of him I attended a community meeting in a small community called Coram in Long Island better known as the worst ghetto in LI. I saw a poster in the super market and decided to attend. I was extremely impressed that was back in 1985 or so. Since then I have noticed that Rev. Al Sharpton has risen to fame for his radical defense of racial rights. I say AMEN we need people who are bold the bible says "THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION"

I suppose some people back in the day thought in ignorance that Martin Luther King should just preach and let God take care of the other stuff now aren't we glad Martin Luther King did what God told him to do. I believe REv. Sharpton is exactly what and who God wants him to be. I thank God for Rev. Shapton
