re: How many poor dirt farmers owned slaves

Most of the black people I know want Sharpton to just disappear, the ones I know who don't are the kind of people that give the black race a bad name. The only reason the idiot is on TV is because there is profit involved in keep racism in the foreground. I'm not stupid enough to think that racism will ever completely disappear but the majority of it would go away if things were allowed to play out in a natural way without all the political bullshite.

I love how certain non-black people (usually racist people) just assume carte blanche that jackson, sharpton, et al are truly embraced and followed by all black people by virtue of their race alone. It defies logic.

True. They get their info from certain websites. It's the LIBERAL media that keeps giving them air time. Have they actually talked to any blacks about Sharpton or Jackson, doubt it. Can't control who the media puts in the spotlight.
