REV AL SHARPTON AGAINST PROP 8

Al Sharpton serves up an "epic serving of truth"! He actually uses the word "trade"!

"I am tired," he went on, "of seeing ministers who will preach
homophobia by day, and then after they're preaching, when the lights are off
they go cruising for trade...We know you're not preaching the Bible, because
if you were preaching the Bible we would have heard from you. We would have
heard from you when people were starving in California--when they
deregulated the economy and crashed Wall Street you had nothing to say. When
Madoff made off with the money, you had nothing to say. When Bush took us to
war chasing weapons of mass destruction that weren't there you had nothing
to say.

But all of a sudden, when Proposition 8 came out, you had so much to
say.[...]

There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not
end brutality and poverty, but to break into people's bedrooms and claim
that God sent you. It amazes me when I looked at California and saw churches
that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young
black boy was shot while he was wearing police handcuffs, nothing to say
when they overturned affirmative action, nothing to say when people were
being [relegated] into poverty, yet they were organizing and mobilizing to
stop consenting adults from choosing their life partners."

I actually met this guy a few times in the early nineties..I know he has a big mouth and funny hair, but he seemed very down to earth in person, and I still remember him being constantly investigated by the gov. for misappropriation of funds, and the gov. never finding anything against him. Also he forgave some guy who attacked him with a knife. His presentation is weird, but I thought what he said was worth listening to. Kinda like you.
