Al Sharpton thinks very highly of himself, an image which is frequently affirmed by a gushing public with opportunities to bolster his social clout. But just because someone thinks he’s all that doesn’t mean he actually is. And in this case, Al Sharpton showed exactly what kind of fool and clown he really is. This dude is clueless. He went on MSNBC to give his opinion about the Donald Trump indictments. And with a completely straight face, he actually said, “Can you imagine our reading that James Madison or Thomas Jefferson tried to overthrow the government so they could stay in power?” Which is hilarious because America literally exists because men like and including James Madison and Thomas Jefferson tried to and succeeded in overthrowing the government. That’s quite literally what they did and quite literally the reason our nation exists. Can you imagine not hearing how ignorant and tone deaf you sound saying this on national television?

After a barrage of public mocking and criticism for his impressive clownishness, Sharpton (or more likely his PR team) posted a follow-up tweet scolding everyone for daring to point out that his ridiculously ignorant comment made him sound as ridiculously ignorant as he actually is.
To the naysayers, Jefferson and Madison are not in history for trying to overturn an American election. They fought an American revolution against the British to establish a democratic process not manipulate it.

While correcting his ignorance, let’s talk about slavery. Since 1619 seems to be a popular date for the race baiters, let’s start there. Facts are pesky things.
What country in the world in 1619 did not have slavery?
correct answer: none, slavery was worldwide.
What race was enslaved?
correct answer: all races were enslaved.
What race owned slaves?
correct answer: all races owned slaves.
Who enslaved Africans?
correct answer: other Africans.
Let’s move forward to today.
Who is killing Americans of African heritage?
correct answer: other Americans of African heritage.
Most white people would be happy to help POC succeed but there seems to be resistance to that. The change has to be done by minorities solving problems. Those of color who succeed immediately move out of ghettos to the burbs and have no interest in returning. The problem is compounded by fatherless families. Race baiters make it even worse.
