While Al Sharpton may do many good things for the African-American community. Does anyone know his history? I did a little research and I’m going to let you know all about him and let you know some facts people seem to not bring up.

He always makes people apologise when he thinks they said something bad against blacks or did something against blacks. When has he apologised for what he has done to non African-Americans? Don’t get me wrong he does great work but it is not as one sided as he says. I think he should wait before he jumps on a topic, for the greater good, to get all the facts first.

All of the facts were collected from different sources and you can do your own research and let me know what you think.

November 28th, 1987. A girl named Tawana Brawley, a 15-year-old African-American girl was found smeared with feces in a garbage bag. Her clothing was torn and she had various racial remarks written on her. She claimed six men raped and assaulted her and some of them were police officers.

The jury ruled that she had fabricated her story after looking at medical records and police records. Al Sharpton and two other men accused the prosecuter of being racist and insinuated that he was one of the perpetrators of the alleged crime. Turns out the three (including Sharpton) got sued for almost half a million dollars. I have yet to see an apology for this.

August 19th, 1991. A car that was in a procession that was led by a police car, fell short, and ran a red light to make it back into the group. They were struck by another car and then their car struck and killed a 7-year-old Guyanese boy named Gavin Cato. The car also severlely injured his cousin named Angela. A private ambulence came and took the uninjured driver (who was Jewish) and took him to the hospital. I agree that was a poor move, but it sparked a riot. Someone in the mob murdered a visiting Jewish student while the mob of rioters yelled “Kill the Jew”. Al Sharpton had arranged this rally that turned into a riot and according to wikipedia.org, he was seen by some people as inflaming tensions in the neighbourhood.

There are far too many to list. I do believe that everyone does bad things and good things. Al Sharpton has done way more good than bad but i believe that he may jump at people a little too soon.

To read all the good and bad Al Sharpton has done please read more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Sharpton

What do you think? Also please let me know if any of this information is incorrect so that I can research and correct it!
