Do you think Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are holding back the progress of the Blacks to make themselves richer?

George Washington Carver talked about blacks like Sharpton and Jackson long before they were born. He said that there are some blacks who want to keep blacks down and to consider themselves victims. That is what Jackson & Sharpton do because that is how they have made a living all these years. Do they ever show up when something good happens to blacks? I've never seen it. It is the black culture that keeps blacks down. Drugs, gangsta, thugs, wife beaters, baby mama, welfare, cop killers, unemployment, no education and Sharpton and Jackson are leading that parade. What a terrible waste of young black men and women.

Carver was a Black educator who showed that blacks could thrive and contribute good instead of bad.

Rev. Al Sharpton, who has blogged for HuffPost in the past, is a powerful ally in the fight for LGBT rights. He regularly goes to bat for the LGBT community, despite his ties to the baptist church, and has previously stated that "there's a reason why Blacks, Latinos, Asians, gays, immigrants and other groups overwhelmingly voted with the Democrats during the last election -- mainly that we vote with those who fight for greater equality."

no

blacks are holding back their own progress

it might not be politically correct -- but when you look @ black-majority countries or the black populations in other 1st world countries like the UK & canada where there are much of the same problems, you can't help but wonder if this issue is deeper than skin, so to speak.

I think they are fostering the attitude that all the problems facing the black community are the fault of the white man! They exploit the mistrust between races to make lots of money, and neither one cares about truth, only about forcing THEIR opinions in order to make money!

Yeah. The greed factor. Add Obama to the list.
