Jaime, I understand what you're saying..

As I said earlier they are not leaders but simply forces in the "movement." I have not bought into their teachings, to be honest I cannot stand to hear Sharpton speak because of what he has become. As far as Jesse Jackson goes, havent heard anything meaningful from him in a while.. matter of fact I'm pissed that he spoke out against Barack Obama.

Neither Sharpton nor Jackson are saints, I acknowledge that but their whole purpose is to be pro black and nothing more. True they are hypocrites for preaching equality although all they care about is the black race but expecting anything more would be fooling yourself.

They are what they are, media whores and they work it well. If they show up here in Douglasville for Genarlow Wilson then cameras follow.. mission accomplished. Suddenly an issue that may have been on the 3rd page of the metro section is a front page issue and THAT is what they are good for, they add that balance.
