Al Sharpton, Leading The Charge On The Trayvon Martin Case – A Racist Extraordinaire, A Charlatan, And A Liar


At an event in South Los Angeles rallying for the family of Trayvon Martin, Rev. Al Sharpton, host on MSNBC, was interviewed in the parking lot by Breitbart News reporter Christian Hartsock.

Here’s the transcript:

HARTSOCK: Excuse me, Reverend … Given your role in inciting the Crown Heights riots –

SHARPTON: I wasn’t in the Crown Heights riots.

HARTSOCK: You weren’t involved in the Crown Heights riots?

SHARPTON: No, I came after the Crown Heights riots. Read the state report. We got there three days later and brought the peace. So get your facts right.

Sharpton didn’t get his facts right. The Crown Heights riots occurred after young black New Yorker Gavin Cato was hit by a car driven by an Orthodox Jew. Sharpton spoke at the funeral. Here’s what he said:

“Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid …. All we want to say is what “J” said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no coffee klatsch, no skinnin’ and grinnin’.”

Later, Sharpton said, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.” The riots resulted in the murder of an Orthodox Jew, Yankel Rosenbaum. As Rosenbaum’s brother wrote, “Based on everything we have seen and read, Sharpton never called upon the rioters to stop their anti-Semitism-inspired violence. He never called on the rioters to go home. To the contrary, he stirred them up. And three days of anti-Semitic violence became the Crown Heights riots.”

This is the Al Sharpton leading the charge on the Trayvon Martin case – a racist extraordinaire, a charlatan, and a liar. And this is the Al Sharpton hired by Phil Griffin to lend gravitas to MSNBC’s evening lineup.

  1. A remember his was hired to be on MSNBC the network that speaks for obama. Al Sharpton should have gone to jail for the CRown Heights riot but Dickens don’t do anything including stopping the riots Al Sharpton yemach shemo

  2. The blacks have always had a problem of ineffective or corrupt leadership although they have some very capable people ie Obama and his wife. Sharpton was and still is a publicity seeker and more concerned with his own benefit than working for his people. Tawana Brawley is a good example of Sharpton’s lack of integrity. He was and still is a Jew hater and his goal is only publicity and enriching himself. His people deserve better.

  3. I’m assuming that YWN doesn’t understand what “get it on” means, or you think your readers don’t know. Either way, this idiot’s views are nothing new, he’s been around for years and he’s anti everybody.

  4. Andrew Breitbart was a special person. Not Jewish, as far as I know, but a wonderful member of umos ho’olom. חבל על דאבדין ולא משתכחין

  5. Again, more of the “Man bites dog” news. Al Sharpton hasn’t changed in the 25 years we’ve known him. So what’s new. He’s still the same sort of lying, cheating, racist he always was. The only difference between now and 25 years ago is that now he is a leader of the Democratic party.

    Now to make the discussion interesting, ask those Jews who register and vote Democrat how they like being in the same party as this guy.

  6. I guess I’m the only one who find the editorializing in the headline a bit of a turn-off. While Sharpton is no tzadik, he had done a complete turnaround and is now a moderate leader in the Black community and a respected talk show host.

  7. #2, MSNBC doesn’t speak for Obama. It is a channel that cares nothing for the truth, as is abundently demonstrated in this email exchange, and it will tell any lie that it thinks will help Obama, but it doesn’t actually speak for him.

  8. Sharpton is old news. The only thing that’s changed since the Crown Heights pogrom is that now he is a leader of the Democratic Party (should we ask people like Hikind and Fiddler and Greenfield how they feel about being part of a party that regards Sharpton as a leader?).

  9. #8, “respected”? Who respects him? Only two-legged animals like himself. The fact that a cable channel that nobody watches has given him a talk show only demonstrates what low people run that channel. And what “complete turnaround” are you talking about? In what way is his despicable behaviour against George Zimmerman, or against the Duke Lacrosse team, different from how he behaved against Stephen Pagones, the Jews of Crown Heights, or Freddie’s?
