Sharpton Rips Obama, Keeps Endorsement On Hold
'I'm Not Going To Be Cajoled Or Intimidated By Any Candidate'
Marcia Kramer
Mar 12, 2007 6:17 pm US/Eastern
(CBS) NEW YORK With the race for the Democratic presidential nomination already in high gear, the Reverend Al Sharpton jumped into the fray today with some tough criticism for Senator Barack Obama. The outspoken reverend offered the harsh comments to Obama just as he looked to build support for his candidacy in the black community.
"Why shouldn't the black community ask questions? Are we now being told, 'You all just shut up?'" Sharpton told CBS 2's Marcia Kramer Monday. "Senator Obama and I agree that the war is wrong, but then I want to know why he went to Connecticut and helped [Sen. Joseph] Lieberman, the biggest supporter of the war."
Sharpton also questioned why Obama supports "tort reform, which hurts police brutality victims."
What set Sharpton off was a published report that he is trying to hurt Obama's campaign because he's jealous. Sharpton says that claim is untrue, charging the story came from the Obama camp to pressure him into an early endorsement.
"I'm not going to be cajoled or intimidated by any candidate not for my support," Sharpton said.
Political pundits say Obama is anxious for Sharpton's support because it could hurt Hillary Clinton and help Obama raise money. "At this stage of the game, it's all about the money and I think you're going to see the candidates with the biggest fund raising making it through the end of the year," Political Consultant Joseph Mercurio said.
Does Sharpton's endorsement matter? CBS 2 polled some New Yorkers and the results were mixed, but the majority appeared to lean toward the side that believes Sharpton's endorsement will make a difference.
Team Obama did not immediately return calls seeking comment. Sharpton says they reached out to him this morning, but he didn't take the call. He adds he won't make his endorsement until after his National Action Network summit next month. Obama, Clinton and other candidates are scheduled to attend.

Well, you can't invoke blackness for Obama, kola boof, and then get mad when another black man doesnt kow-tow to him. Naturally you would key in on the issue of jealously because that's your favorite line of attack. |

Thank you for asking. Yes I have a website. No I won't be mentioning it here - if I intended to do that, I would have done so already. Troy has been kind enough to place a small ad over on the main AALBC site, it can be found over there.

If he did that, he's a lying flaming ass hole! How can any moral or sane individual deny or turn their head to the ongoing mass murder, enslavement, beatings, torture and rape of the black Sudanese. But coming from Sharpton, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

When did Al Sharpton supposedly go to Sudan Kola Spoof? How do you know what he witnessed? Was he supposed to confirm something he didn't even see? Because everyone isn't a L-I-A-R like your crusty behind. What action do you think he should have taken to correct what's going on in Sudan? And since you're oblivious to this minor detail, Al Sharpton is a private citizen, he is not a U.S. government official.

Al Sharpton didn't tell it like it is....
when he took his Fat Greasy ass to SUDAN
and then came back to the U.S. and claimed
that there's no slavery and genocide over
there.
Now he tries to BACK-track about those pics
of him shaking hands with OMAR BASHIR and
Farrakhan.
Tell it like it is my ass!
He's a GOONIE for the Democratic Party.

Nfts,
Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson BOTH received the majority of their financing for campaigns from ARAB AMERICAN BUSINESSES and OIL.....and they BOTH went over to SUDAN to "check out" what JOE MADISON and MYSELF were telling was going on all the way back in 2001....and they both came back
over here---just as they were paid to do----and reported that there "IS NO SLAVERY/GENOCIDE" taking place in the Sudan".
They did that.
I guess you all forgot when Libya's Khadafi gave Farrakhan $4 million to finance the NOI.
"Black American" Politicians have been in the back pocket of Arab countries "FOR MONEY" every since the 1960's civil rights drew attention to blacks in this country as a POWER BASE.
And those are FACTS.

What Ever Kola Spoof. Except that Louis Farrakhan is NOT a politician - he is a religious leader. And since when can't Muslims contribute to other Muslims? Why do things always have to be sinister with you???

There may be a possibility that the whole Sudan crisis is somewhat exaggerated by the right-wing to justify chopping up Arabs.
After all....Sudanese are hardly Arabs, even if they imagine themselves to be.
Many black Americans fancy themselves just "Americans" and of course that's a lie.
Perhaps Sharpton wasn't entirely wrong about what he claimed he saw in Sudan?

Kola,
ALL of those nikkas are jealous of Barack. ALL of'em.
They can't believe that Barack has come from NOWHERE and appear to be in position of being the first to do what they'll NEVER have a chance to do.
But in a way, I'm happy Sharpton and the like are carrying on as they are with Obama. Because what I'm hoping is the Black foks who support them are inspired to wakethefuhkup and relegate them to the state of irrelevancy they so richly deserve.
And let's be straight-up here: The PRIMARY reason why anybody listens to Sharpton is he's a loudmouth, outlandish resident of the world's most media-crazed city. He's a product of New York's almost pathological tendency to embellish and elevate any/everything from their 5 boroughs. Were Sharpton from North Carolina, we would have laughed his conk-haired a$$ back into obscurity decades ago. |

i will not vote for hillary no matter if baraka wins or losses the dem spot. i would vote for guilliani before i do that. hopefully baraka can surpass all the bullshiz but right now, it's some pretty rough waters ahead for him. |

Al Sharpton has as much credibility as kola boffo, and what Shakspir said was more plausible than the rants of kola who is just a spectator like everybody else since she doesn't reside in her native country but is instead over here in America, yodeling in the canyon. |

When did KOLA ever call you a "cotton picker" Tonya?
I never said Sharpton wasn't YOUR brother.
I said he ain't MINE.
And like everybody else here, you don't give a shit about MY people---but have the audacity to expect me not to care either.
Which is typical of WISHY-WASHY White-themed black folk who change what they "down for" on a weekly basis, because they don't stand for shit in the first goddamned place.
Al Sharpton sold out black people in Sudan, because they're not HIS people--
----mothers, babies, poor people who NEEDED him to tell the truth, because their lives depended on it....yet because the DEMOCRATIC party asked him to do so he SOLD OUT, and because his largest line of credit comes from Arab American companies just like Jesse Jackson, Farrakhan and (MY GIRL) Cynthia Mckinney's does.
Without Arab Islam, they wouldn't have no financial backers! Which is why all the Black organizations have always PUSHED Islam and their "brown brothers"--they're paid to.
And then when the TRUTH broke out about what is really going on in Sudan, he tried to "backtrack" on his "financial friendship" with Omar Bashir and IGNORE ALL QUESTIONS.
He wasn't "tell'n it like it is" then.
I could truly understand you supporting Sharpton because "he's one of your leaders"....everybody's human and if Farrakhan invited me to lunch tomorrow, I would go, because the belonging for us black people is "jumbled up", we belong to each other in so many different ways....
...but please do visit JOE MADISON---a Black American Man (and HUGE, HUGE supporter of Kola Boof, former Head of the NAACP and friend of Oprah) who went to SUDAN and set the 6,000 slaves free.

The Worldview of Al Sharpton His instincts on foreign policy and national security.
By William Saletan and Avi Zenilman
Posted Monday, Aug. 11, 2003, at 10:15 AM ET
Al Sharpton Slate is running several series of short features explaining who the 2004 presidential candidates are, what they're saying, and where they propose to take the country. The first series summarized their personal and professional backgrounds. The second series analyzed their buzzwords. The third series outlined what each candidate would focus on as president. This series sketches how they would manage America's role in the world.
After communism collapsed, American voters lost interest in defense and foreign policy. But those subjects can consume most of a president's time, and 9/11 returned them to the forefront. It's difficult to anticipate which hot spots a candidate would have to deal with as president, but it's possible to get a sense of how he approaches war, diplomacy, trade, and other challenges abroad. This series pieces together a picture of each candidate's instincts based on his words and his record. Today's subject is Al Sharpton.
Moralism and multilateralism: Sharpton wants more transparency and consistency in U.S. relations with other countries. In his book Al on America, he says we "cannot out of one side of our mouth call one nation evil and then enter into a partnership with another nation that can be considered equally or even more evil." He renounces a role as the world's "supercop" and argues that instead of relying on its military, the United States should "invest in other nations." Sharpton also accuses President Bush of sending young black men off to war while doing little for their welfare at home.
Humanitarianism and Africa: Sharpton argues that the United States owes a "moral debt" to Africa. He regards recent U.S. policy on AIDS abroad as insufficient and chides economic policymakers for subjecting African nations to a "debt service they can never pay." He advocates a new Africa policy focusing on debt relief, investment, and "fair trade." Sharpton visited Sudan in 2001 in an effort to stop the human slavery that persists there. He proposes to make America's "selective" humanitarianism more consistent by moving aggressively to eliminate the Sudanese slave trade.
Dictators and Latin America: Sharpton wants an immediate end to the embargo on Cuba, which he says has an "anti-Latino flavor." After visiting Cuba in 2000, Sharpton met Fidel Castro and called him "one of the three most impressive people I have ever met in my life." Sharpton says they had a "talk about the human rights violations—of which I personally saw none." He argues that the United States has "continued to demonize Castro at the expense of good, sound foreign policy." He also believes we've treated Mexico with heavy-handed superiority. Current immigration laws are "biased," he says, and the United States needs a more "respectful relationship" with Mexico.

Al Sharpton discovers the Sudan
Posted: May 16, 2001
1:00 a.m. Eastern
NEW YORK -- What do Saddam Hussein, Al Sharpton, oil and Coca Cola have in common? They’re all heavily involved in the ongoing genocidal killing fields of Sudan, which pit Muslim vs. Christian on a Medieval scale. This unholy trinity may ironically provide the impetus for America and the West to finally step in and aid the desperate black African South Sudanese Christians.
Rev. Sharpton has now stated that he will bring pressure on the Sudanese government for their willingness to permit human slavery. If he is serious, Sharpton will have to steamroll over Coca Cola, Royal Dutch Shell, China National Petroleum, Total FINA Elf, Saddam’s military-industrial complex and the Nation of Islam.
If Saddam is to be confronted on his involvement in the Sudan, America will have to face up to the fact that we killed 500,000 Iraqi children under the age of five over the past decade because of bombings and sanctions against Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction. Only now to admit that Saddam moved those weapons -- set up entire factories in Algeria, Sudan and Libya. What an embarrassment for the State Department and the Pentagon.
The State Department may also have to explain why it has done nothing while Christians have been killed and imprisoned in China, North Korea, Laos, Burma, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Middle East, Sudan, South Lebanon, Indonesia and burned to death in India.
Coca Cola will be saddened when Americans learn that the sorghum used to sweeten Coke is tainted with the blood of the saints in the Sudan.
"What’s happening is these companies are paying Sudan to exterminate people who might interfere with these companies' ability to extract oil" says Frank Gaffney, of the conservative Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C.
"Western companies, publicly traded companies are engaged in this kind of stuff. It’s absolutely scandalous."
Famine, scortched earth policies, torture in "ghost houses," human slavery, biochemical war (waged by the Iraqis), forced conversion to Islam and even crucifictions have been a stable of the Arab jihad vs. the South Sudanese Christians.
Almost 2 million black South Sudanese Christians have been killed since Bill Clinton came to power in 1993. Near the end of his presidency, Clinton stood on the border of Uganda and Sudan, apologized for Western slavery 400 years ago, but never even mentioned one word about the genocide in Sudan.
Clinton went on to block relief aid to the Sudan passed by Congress. Former Secretary of State Madeline Albright said the "human rights situation in Sudan is not marketable to the American people."
A White House spokesman speaking under condition of anonymity told WorldNetDaily that the Bush Administration, has "our policy [on Sudan] under review at this time." Last week a House subcommittee met to discuss stricter sanctions against the Arab government in Khartoum -- which is still angry at America for blowing up their aspirin factory during one of Clinton’s errant cowboy adventures. Elliott Abrams, a former Reagan administration honcho told Congress that he wants to cut off the legs of the Western oil companies working in Sudan. Abrams wants to prohibit these companies from participating in U.S. capital markets.
For his part, Sharpton said that Bush now has a chance to make inroads with African American voters vis-a-vis the Sudan. "I’ve been anti-Bush," Sharpton said recently. "But he [Bush] has an opportunity to show that I was wrong."
Sharpton said that he won’t be bought off on this issue with donations from corporations, as has been the case with his pal Jesse Jackson.
"I don’t believe you can be Moses leading the Exodus if Pharaoh is paying for the chariot," Sharpton added.
In this decades-old war, the animist and Christian South Sudanese People’s Liberation Army is fighting the Arab Islamic government to the North. South Sudan and Nubia have stood as a barrier to Arab Islamic encroachment into black Africa for many centuries. In fact, the Sudan is mentioned in the Old Testament prominently as a nation where the people would "raise their hands" and praise God.
Meanwhile, as reported by WorldNetDaily, China has ferried in thousands of "workers" to Sudan’s oil fields -- not too far from the strategic Suez. The Chinese involvement has helped the Arab government to up their production of oil to 200,000 barrels per day. This largess has fueled the military machine the Arabs are using to slaughter the black Christians.
Also as reported by WorldNetDaily, Saddam Hussein has moved nuclear components and set up biological weapons factories in the region. Saddam’s elite units are fighting the Arab war in the Sudan both on the ground and in the air. (See "Saddam in Sudan, Nuclear and Biologicals in Algeria, Libya.")
"Where is the West in places like Sudan and Rwanda? When Christians are slaughtered, the U.N. does nothing. The French Foreign Legion does nothing. The Tutsis, South Sudanese, Cambodians -- they all suffered genocide while the West did nothing -- France in particular," says Carina Hildegard Gundersen, a Danish Red Cross Worker who has worked in all of the aforementioned countries.
"A few years back there was a road rally in Chad which was airlifted by the French military when the race was threatened by Islamic militants. We prize a car race over the genocide of Christians. Again, where is France and Germany in Rwanda? Rwanda was a German colony. These are the countries of Joan of Arc and Luther. It shows how much things have changed in post-Christian Europe."
The Islamic government of Khartoum shot down a Red Cross plane last week.
On May 10, 2001, Reuters News Service reported that Sudan’s Islamist government has accused rebels of killing a Red Cross pilot on an aid mission in the south, the independent al-Ayam daily reported on Thursday.
The Danish pilot was killed when his plane came under fire over southern Sudan on Wednesday. The Red Cross said a blast rocked the plane after it descended to counter a cabin pressure problem on a routine flight from northern Kenya to a government-held town in southern Sudan encircled by rebels. "The area where the incident took place lies under the control of the rebel movement and we do not have troops in the area," al-Ayam quoted armed forces spokesman Lieutenant General Mohamed Bashir Suleiman as saying.
The co-pilot died almost instantly from a severe head injury. The other pilot managed to fly the plane back to Kenya.
Gundersen said that the Danish Red Cross and Danish Intelligence know that the plane was shot down by the Islamic government.
"As I have told you in the past, Saddam has spies inside the Danish Red Cross. He hunts down Kurdish defectors inside Denmark. He has spies on the Danish Refugee Council -- mainly translators. Saddam knows everything that is going on inside the Red Cross. And, as you well know, Saddam’s military machine is heavily involved in Sudan. You don’t have to be a genius to figure this one out," Gunderson told WorldNetDaily.
The Sudan People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) said the attack happened just north of the government-held town of Torit, 200 kms (120 miles) west of the Kenyan town of Lokichokio.
An SPLA spokesman said only government forces had the kind of anti-aircraft gun or similar weapon needed to damage the plane, which was flying at around 8,000 feet.
Suleiman said the plane had been hit by three bullets from light arms, rather than anti-aircraft weapons, which showed that a single gunman was responsible. He said such an attack did not bear the hallmarks of army activity.
Sulaf al-Din Saleh, Sudan’s government-appointed aid commissioner, told al-Rai al-Aam Daily that the state was investigating the incident, but said the armed forces were not involved.
Sudanese President Omar Bashir is said to be employing Iraqi military planes and pilots in the civil war in the south. The SPLA has said that the Bashir regime has acquired six Iraqi transport jets and pilots for sorties against rebels in southern and eastern Sudan. The SPLA has identified the planes as the Soviet-built Antonov.
In a statement, the SPLA said the pilot of the plane that crashed last week in southeastern Sudan was an Iraqi national. The regime in Khartoum has refused to identify the pilot in the crash that killed 14 senior Sudanese officers, including the deputy defense minister.
Bashir obtained Iraqi planes and pilots at the end of last year, the SPLA said. This, months after the regime dismissed up to 100 Sudanese officers, including pilots in a purge of the military. Western diplomatic sources said Sudan has used numerous mercenaries to fight the regime's war against the rebels in the oil-rich regions in the east and south. They said these include Chinese trainers who have helped organize pro-government militias in the areas.
Enter Al Sharpton.
It only took eight years, but well-known New York race-agitator Al Sharpton has finally discovered the genocide in the Sudan. Only a few weeks ago Sharpton went to the Sudan. His close ally Louis Farrakhan has repeatedly denied that there is any human slavery going on in the Sudan.
Sudan gained independence from Great Britain in 1956 -- as is the case with most post-European colonies in Africa, anarchy ensued. Military dictatorships have marked the governments which followed the British. In 1989, Civilian rule was crushed by Sudan’s current president Lt. General Umar Hasan Ahmad al-Bashir.
Today, because of the Arab jihad, this nation of 29 million is in chaos which Gundersen says, "Rivals anything you could pull out of the Book of Revelation."
The Arab jihad started from the Upper Nile and now has reached the Bahr El Ghazal Equatorial region. For many years Arabs and Christians lived in peace. This is not uncommon as for a time this phenomenon existed in places like Israel and Lebanon. In Sudan, the war heated up when back in 1983, the Arab government instituted strict Sharia Islamic law. Under Islamic law it is not wrong or immoral to enslave infidels and Christians, nor is it wrong to wage war on Christian separatists. Some Western groups like Christian Solidarity Worldwide have gone to the Sudan to buy back slaves. Some have questioned this practice as only encouraging the Arab slave trade. Others counter it is vital to do so for the sake of the young South Sudanese children.
Soon after the enactment of Sharia law, a mad scramble began for Sudan’s natural resources -- namely sorghum to make chewing gum and soda, as well as oil. Then came the involvement of Iraq and now Communist China.
Is there hope for the Sudan? Gundersen thinks so.
"Imagine if all the sports players in America -- baseball, football, basketball and boxing -- all wrote 'Free Sudan' on their helmets and shoes and uniforms. That message would reach millions. Its power would be unstoppable. Let’s all pray that this happens."

Reverend Al Sharpton: 2004 Democratic National Convention Address
Thank you.
Tonight, I want to address my remarks in two parts.
One, I'm honored to address the delegates here.
Last Friday, I had the experience in Detroit of hearing President George Bush make a speech. And in the speech, he aksed [asked] certain questions. I hope he's watching tonight. I would like to answer your questions, Mr. President.
To the/our chairman, our delegates, and all that are assembled, we're honored and glad to be here tonight.
I'm glad to be joined by supporters and friends from around the country. I'm glad to be joined by my family, Kathy, Dominique, who will be 18, and Ashley.
We are here 282 [228] years after right here in Boston we fought to establish the freedoms of America. The first person to die in the Revolutionary War is buried not far from here, a Black man from Barbados, named Crispus Attucks.
Forty years ago, in 1964, Fannie Lou Hamer and the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party stood at the Democratic convention in Atlantic City fighting to preserve voting rights for all America and all Democrats, regardless of race or gender.
Hamer's stand inspired Dr. King's march in Selma, which brought about the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Twenty years ago, Reverend Jesse Jackson stood at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco, again, appealing to the preserve those freedoms.
Tonight, we stand with those freedoms at risk and our security as citizens in question.
I have come here tonight to say the only choice we have to preserve our freedom at this point in history is to elect John Kerry the president of the United States.
I stood with both John Kerry and John Edwards over 30 occasions in debates during the primary season. I not only debated them, I watched them. I observed their deeds. I looked into their eyes. I am convinced that they are men who say what they mean and mean what they say.
I'm also convinced that at a time when a vicious spirit in the body politic of this country that attempts to undermine America's freedoms -- our civil rights, our civil liberties -- we must leave this city and go forth and organize this nation for victory for our party and John Kerry and John Edwards in November.
But let me quickly say, this is not just about winning an election. It's about preserving the principles on which this very nation was founded.
Look at the current view of our nation worldwide as a result of our unilateral foreign policy. We went from unprecedented international support and solidarity on September 12th, 2001, to hostility and hatred as we stand here tonight. We can't survive in the world by ourselves.
How did we squander this opportunity to unite the world for democracy and to commit to the global fight against hunger and disease? We did it with a go-it-alone foreign policy based on flawed intelligence. We were told that we were going to Iraq because there were weapons of mass destruction. We lost hundreds of soldiers. We spent $200 billion dollars at a time we had record state deficits. And when it became clear that there were no weapons, they changed the premise for the war and said: No, we went because of other reasons.
If I told you tonight to, "Let's leave the FleetCenter; we're in danger," and when you get outside, you ask me, "Reverend Al, What is the danger?" and I say, "It don't matter. We just needed some fresh air," I have misled you -- and we were misled.
We -- We are also faced with the prospect of in the next four years that two or more Supreme Court Justices' seats will become available. This year we celebrated the anniversary of Brown versus the Board of Education.
This court has voted five to four on critical issues of women's rights and civil rights. It is frightening to think that the gains of civil and women rights and those movements in the last century could be reversed if this administration is in the White House in these next four years.
I suggest to you tonight that if George Bush had selected the court in '54, Clarence Thomas would have never got to law school.
This is not about a Party. This is about living up to the promise of America. The promise of America says we will guarantee quality education for all children and not spend more money on metal detectors than computers in our schools.
The promise of America guarantees health care for all of its citizens and doesn't force seniors to travel to Canada to buy prescription drugs they can't afford here at home.
The promise of America provides that those who work in our health care system can afford to be hospitalized in the very beds they clean up every day.
The promise of America is that government does not seek to regulate your behavior in the bedroom, but to guarantee your right to provide food in the kitchen.
The issue of government is not to determine who may sleep together in the bedroom, it's to help those that might not be eatin' in the kitchen.
The promise of America is that we stand for human rights, whether it's fighting against slavery in the Sudan, where right now Joe Madison and others are fasting, around what is going on in Sudan; AIDS in Lesotho; a police misconduct in this country.
The promise of America is one immigration policy for all who seek to enter our shores, whether they come from Mexico, Haiti, or Canada, there must be one set of rules for everybody.
We cannot welcome those to come and then try and act as though any culture will not be respected or treated inferior. We cannot look at the Latino community and preach "one language." No one gave them an English test before they sent them to Iraq to fight for America.
The promise of America is that every citizen's vote is counted and protected, and election schemes do not decide the election.
It, to me, is a glaring contradiction that we would fight, and rightfully so, to get the right to vote for the people in the capital of Iraq in Baghdad, but still don't give the federal right to vote for the people in the capital of the United States, in Washington, D.C.
Mr. President, as I close, Mr. President, I heard you say Friday that you had questions for voters, particularly African-American voters. And you aksed [asked] the question: Did the Democratic Party take us for granted? Well, I have raised questions. But let me answer your question.
You said the Republican Party was the party of Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. It is true that Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, after which there was a commitment to give 40 acres and a mule.
That's where the argument, to this day, of reparations starts. We never got the 40 acres. We went all the way to Herbert Hoover, and we never got the 40 acres.
We didn't get the mule. So we decided we'd ride this donkey as far as it would take us.
Mr. President, you said would we have more leverage if both parties got our votes, but we didn't come this far playing political games. It was those that earned our vote that got our vote. We got the Civil Rights Act under a Democrat. We got the Voting Rights Act under a Democrat. We got the right to organize under Democrats.
Mr. President, the reason we are fighting so hard, the reason we took Florida so seriously, is our right to vote wasn't gained because of our age. Our vote was soaked in the blood of martyrs, soaked in the blood of Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner, soaked in the blood of four little girls in Birmingham.
This vote is sacred to us.
This vote can't be bargained away.
This vote can't be given away.
Mr. President, in all due respect, Mr. President, read my lips: Our vote is not for sale.
And there's a whole generation of young leaders that have come forward across this country that stand on integrity and stand on their traditions, those that have emerged with John Kerry and John Edwards as partners, like Greg Meeks, like Obama Baracka [Barack Obama], like our voter registration director, Marjorie Harris, like those that are in the trenches.
And we come with strong family values. Family values is not just those with two-car garages and a retirement plan. Retirement plans are good. But family values also are those who had to make nothing stretch into something happening, who had to make ends meet.
I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook, and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I'd have food on the table.
But she taught me as I walked her to that subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.
And I wanted -- I wanted somebody in my community -- I wanted to show that example. As I ran for President, I hoped that one child that come out of the ghetto like I did, could look at me walk across the stage with governors and senators and know they didn't have to be a drug dealer, they didn't have to be a hoodlum, they didn't have to be a gangster, they could stand up from a broken home, on welfare, and they could run for President of the United States.
As you know, I live in New York. I was there September 11th when that despicable act of terrorism happened.
Few days after, I left home -- my family had taken in a young man even who lost his family. And as they gave comfort to him, I had to do a radio show that morning. When I got there, my friend James Entome [sp?] said, "Reverend, we're going to stop at a certain hour and play a song, synchronized with 900 and 90 other stations."
I said, "That's fine."
He said, "We're dedicating it to the victims of 9/11."
I said, "What song are you playing?"
He said, "We're playing 'America the Beautiful.'"
And the particular station I was at, they played that rendition song by Ray Charles.
As you know, we lost Ray a few weeks ago, but I sat there that morning and listened to Ray sing through those speakers, "Oh beautiful for spacious skies, for amber waves of grain, for purple mountains' majesty across the fruited plain."
And it occurred to me as I heard Ray singing, that Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.
Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.
But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.
Starting November, let's make America beautiful again.
Thank you. And God bless you. |

Excuse me, YUKIO,
this speech was made in 2004,
several years after his big TRIP to Sudan
in 2001 where he came back and told people
not to listen to Joe Madison and others like myself who were supposedly "making up stories" about what was happening in SUDAN.
This was also AFTER the White Media finally "acknowledged" the problem in SUDAN and it became "fashionable" to suddenly talk about SUDAN.
But fu.ck you, too.

well, im GLAD that al sharpton told the TRUTH about what he saw in the sudan.
THERE IS NO "GENOCIDE" TAKING PLACE THERE.
i used to see al sharpton in the morning, when he was on his way to the 'national action network" headquarters in harlem.
i was never a huge al sharpton fan (although i do feel he is needed to bring attention to situations, that would be "sweep under the rug" if he was not involved), but im glad he told the TRUTH about the sudan.
there is a civil war going on in the sudan.
the LOSERS in this on going war, have attempted to cry "genocide" in order to further their MURDEROUS campaign.
but it a big LIE.
al sharpton saw that there was NO genocide going on there, and told the TRUTH.
let us remember, that if the sudanese government did not fight against these MURDERING, raping, "rebels", the government of the sudan would be OVERTHROWN by these KILLERS.
there is NO genocide going on in the sudan.
there is a civil war going on between muslims and non-muslims.
what does the "world" expect?
for the sudanese government to allowthese rapists from the south of sudan to overthrow their government, and RAPE their women and children?
because the overthrow, and rape of norhtern sudanese women and children is what these KILLERS from the south of sudan are commited to.
im glad al sharpton told the TRUTH about this.
atleast evryone does not believe the HYPE, about the sudan.
i really not for either side.
but to think that the northern sudanese government is just going to allow a bunch of blood thirsty KILLERS, overthrow their government is INSANE.
the government of the sudan MUST do all they can to protect their women and children from these RAPISTS/MURDERERS from the south of sudan. |
