How the hell did Al Sharpton becomne the spokesman for the Negro in the US, usurping Jesse Jackson

Ok. This is the second person who’s name I mixed up with someone else’s in ~3 days. I gotta get more sleep (I rarely get insomnia, but I haven’t slept more than an hour or two since either Sunday or Monday.

I still don’t like the guy, but I completely, 100% withdraw the “anti-Semitic” comment.

(Please note, I did this with authors John Scalzi and Charles Stross too over in CS, so this is not some sort of “They all look alike” sophomoric attempt at humor. I really did screw up here)

:smack: I get all those oppressed people mixed up.

Uh, good one. Way to stick it to the person mocking the racist! You go , girl.

I think Booker T. Washington was the last guy who was a spokesman for the Negro.

Don’t feel bad. I managed to get mixed up over which funeral it was where Farrakhan appeared. Thereby making me the first person in history to confuse Aretha Franklin for John McCain.

How weird. Why would an obscure thread on a pretty ordinary message board hold the slightest interest for Al Sharpton do you think?

:confused:

Actually they made the same mistake when they got to heaven. They put Aretha in the Celestial Senate and McCain in the heavenly choir. Big mistake. Have you heard his rendition of “People”?

And his cover of “Natural Woman” was just weird.

Wait a minute… at the start of this whole thing it was “The Negro”, now it’s “we Negroes”… I think this is a developing situation and recommend that the OP hide as soon as possible somewhere that doesn’t have internet access. We’ll come and get you when it’s safe.

Token: “Jesse Jackson is not the emperor of black people!”
Stan: “He told my dad he was…?”

Maybe you’re just getting old? :wink:

You forgot ‘woman-hating incel in mommy’s basement’.

I would have thought the OP would be asking how Samuel L. Jackson became the spokesman for the Negro in the US. I mean, he’s always on TV demanding to know what’s in peoples’ wallets, in a threatening manner.

After Fox News, of course.

People who are confused for each other:

Barry White, Betty White.

I do love her rendition of “I’m Gonna Love You Just A Little Bit More, Baby”.

Stranger

Fortunately, we haven’t started yet or I would have already been eliminated from the pool.

Is that the same Stokely Carmichael who was a gutless pussy cowardly bitch who ran away to Africa rather than staying in America and fighting for what he supposedly believed in? (Does Google Search) SURE WAS!

So I guess that means that Martin Luther King JR was a racist and Uncle Tom because he used the word Negro all the time.

Understood.

I’m pretty sure the list of things you don’t give a shit about includes EVERYTHING but yourself. So just go back to picking your butthole and licking your fingers clean.:D:D:D

As they approached a tollbooth near Baltimore someone was trying to lower the shade and the bus driver got distracted and plowed into cars at 60 mph. People were killed. It was on the news. At the end of the day a friend of mine who was on the bus approached two CLUB MTV dancers and overheard one saying to the other, “After all we’ve been through today your hair looks great.”

What exactly is “zany” or “whacky” about wanting to know the possible/probable sexual history of a historical figure? Or are you one of those creepy weirdos whose Mommy put clothespins on your dong when she caught you fapping when you were a little kid? And all through to today you think sex or any discussion of sex is creepy and gross.

Or is it because you don’t think people who are handicapped should be allowed to have sex? How bigoted of you.
