The #1 thing wrong with our justice system has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with money.
Rich people get better representation than poor people.

Because Al Sharpton may have every right to speak, but he just happens to be a race-bating hate monger.
So, I disagree with your assertion that he should speak knowing it will cause problems.

What exactly has Sharpton said that is so provocative? I heard him just the other day commenting on the justice system being unfair to the poor...exactly what you just stated yourself.

By the way, Kareem Abdul Jabar just had an excellent essay in Time magazine making these exact same points.

He was given 20 mins. to speak at a "child's" funeral. He sounded more like a union organizer than the voice of comfort to the parents of that boy. He used "boy" in his kind words, so I'm allowed too.

Ma'am, How many Union meetings have you been to, and which Union did you belong to? How many Black church services have you been to, funeral or Sunday?

I was chief steward in the Communication Workers of America and friends with Barbara Easterling (the national sec'y)
Been to sooooo many union meetings. What's your point ?
Church, black, white or rainbow.....I avoid them all....unless it's a wedding or funeral.

If you look at the bulletin from the service, it might clue you in.

I was poor once too. But I busted my butt to get money.
