Al Sharpton Tonight at the Democratic Convention
 
Whiter than white Howard Fineman threw a fit tonight because of Al Sharpton.  That Fineman is a reporter and should only be reporting the news is another story.  His running commentary deserves to be responded to and that tonight is my job.  Understand that black folks are always going to speak their minds and it doesn't matter that white America agrees or disagrees.  I don't notice that white America ever looks to black America and says "What do you think?"  Al Sharpton is a flawed human being who has definitely made several serious errors in judgement over the course of his life.  That however in no way negates the truth that he spoke tonight.  While I am still holding on to my republican voting card, I do not trust the current group of white extremist conservative republican politicians, nor would I ever consider them my fellow Americans.  For black folks, it not what you say, it's what you do when it comes to dealing with us.  The current republican party caters to the benign racist tendencies of many whites.  Now this doesn't mean that every white who harbors these feelings is a klansman, but with their world perspective they can not accept that black folks are their equals.  Listening to Howard Fineman tonight, brought back many memories of when I was a kid and black folks points of view where ridiculed and dismissed out of hand.  Well Howie those days are over.  Al Sharpton did nothing more than tell the truth tonight.  You can call it hate speech or whatever suits your fancy, but it was honest and forthright.  Well, Howie you can expect more of the same in years to come.  Amos 'n Andy and dead and buried.
