Al Sharpton And Bill O'Reilly

What a wimp! Sharpton, you Billo boot licker, oh you. I never really cared for Sharpton's style. How he always shows up at the time a racial issue has gotten newsworthy, and then he race hustles the issue to line his own pockets. But I did think the man had guts, however after watching the interview he did Wednesday night with Billo, I see he's even more of a phony than I thought he was. Sharpton completely wimped out for Billo.

When Billo asked Sharpton what he thought of Billo's remarks regarding his experience at Syivia's (Billo said he was surprised that a black own restaurant was the same as any white eatery he patronized). Sharpton said he had not yet seen the tape. What? Billo made these comments days ago. The comments have been widely covered in the media. And yet, last night, Wednesday, Sharpton hadn't seen the tape? As big of a racial amblance chaser as Sharpton is, he had not bothered to watch the tape before appearing on the show of the man that made the statements? What a crock. A cop out. Sharpton likes to think of himself as a provocateur, I guess just not up against Billo.

It makes me wonder, Sharpton and Billo had dinner at Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem, Billo said he paid the tab. Was Sharpton bought off for trhe price of a dinner? Or is there something more? Sharpton is regular guest on Billo's show, where they play off each racial sterotypes, maybe they made a deal not to provoke one another's audience base without being too obvious. Or maybe Sharpton did not want to offend his dinner companion.

Sharpton showed something really revealing about himself last night on Billo's show: he's much more concerned with his own wants than the racial justice he bellows about in the media. If every injustice against black people was wiped away tomorrow, Sharpton would find racism in that. I think this man is the worst kind of race pimp. He the kind that finds an popular issue of racial injustice, and rides it like it's a two hundred dollar a night ho. That Mr. Sharpton makes you the most abusive pimp out there, the kind that pimps his own race from the bottom up. Sharpton, you just keep kissing Billo's ring. And maybe Billo will drink from your pimp cup.
