Interesting that you are ignorant of the sin nature of man....I will never consider Sharpton a reverend. He is a tax evader, nothing reverential about that.

So taxes are how you measure spirituality?
That's interesting.
No, evading taxes is not the sign of a spiritual person, interesting how you jump to conclusions.
One was a peacemakerA huge step in the right direction would be to stop listening to Al Sharpton and start remembering Martin Luther King.The need to delegitimize all perceived enemies is the mark of someone more interested in feeling good about their selves than understanding a situation.
There's nothing funnier than when you guys try to play the "MLK" card.
The other is a war monger
I'm confident that if you'd been alive and politically conscious in the 60s, you'd have said the same thing about MLK that you say about Sharpton now.
You're missing the common element between them, which is what makes your attempts to re-appropriate MLK so laughable.
I want to say one other challenge that we face is simply that we must find an alternative to war and bloodshed. Anyone who feels, and there are still a lot of people who feel that way, that war can solve the social problems facing mankind is sleeping through a great revolution. President Kennedy said on one occasion, "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind." The world must hear this. I pray to God that America will hear this before it is too late, because today we’re fighting a war.
I am convinced that it is one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world. Our involvement in the war in Vietnam has torn up the Geneva Accord. It has strengthened the military-industrial complex; it has strengthened the forces of reaction in our nation. It has put us against the self-determination of a vast majority of the Vietnamese people, and put us in the position of protecting a corrupt regime that is stacked against the poor.
It has played havoc with our domestic destinies. This day we are spending five hundred thousand dollars to kill every Vietcong soldier. Every time we kill one we spend about five hundred thousand dollars while we spend only fifty-three dollars a year for every person characterized as poverty-stricken in the so-called poverty program, which is not even a good skirmish against poverty.
Not only that, it has put us in a position of appearing to the world as an arrogant nation. And here we are ten thousand miles away from home fighting for the so-called freedom of the Vietnamese people when we have not even put our own house in order. And we force young black men and young white men to fight and kill in brutal solidarity. Yet when they come back home that can’t hardly live on the same block together.
The judgment of God is upon us today. And we could go right down the line and see that something must be done—and something must be done quickly. We have alienated ourselves from other nations so we end up morally and politically isolated in the world. There is not a single major ally of the United States of America that would dare send a troop to Vietnam, and so the only friends that we have now are a few client-nations like Taiwan, Thailand, South Korea, and a few others.
This is where we are. "Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind," and the best way to start is to put an end to war in Vietnam, because if it continues, we will inevitably come to the point of confronting China which could lead the whole world to nuclear annihilation.
It is no longer a choice, my friends, between violence and nonviolence. It is either nonviolence or nonexistence. And the alternative to disarmament, the alternative to a greater suspension of nuclear tests, the alternative to strengthening the United Nations and thereby disarming the whole world, may well be a civilization plunged into the abyss of annihilation, and our earthly habitat would be transformed into an inferno that even the mind of Dante could not imagine.

That's nice. I'm calling Al Sharpton a war monger in 2014.A huge step in the right direction would be to stop listening to Al Sharpton and start remembering Martin Luther King.
Why?
...because King didn't advocate non-violence and civil disobedience?
lolAnyone who doesn't see Al Sharpton as a war monger is not telling themselves the truth.One was a peacemaker

It would not be wise to go to war over race in America.
The people who thought like you do called MLK a "war monger" in the 60s, too.

There will never be a "race war" in this country, no matter how much you guys are hoping for it.

It won't be because of Al Sharpton's lack of effort.That's nice. I'm calling Al Sharpton a war monger in 2014.Anyone who doesn't see Al Sharpton as a war monger is not telling themselves the truth.

Al Sharpton doesn't want a "race war", you do.
You can blame the Rev. Al all you want, but that won't change anything.

You should take your own advice.
For a change.

I'd like you to prove how he isn't responsible for this.

Thing is, we do. We have dead black kids and dead cops. There is a war going on that you don't wish see. It doesn't make any of us feel good, it makes us fearful.

How am I ignorant I the sinful nature of man? We all sin, yet Sharpton has willfully evaded taxes and I have yet to hear him repent or make amends for his sins. Sharpton willfully used his position to stir racial hatred, yet I see no outward signs of repentance or responsibility. A spiritual man is humble and peace loving, I see none of that from a man that claims to know God. I am far from a spiritual man however, so is Sharpton.
