Open letter to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson...you've got some 'splainin to do.

Written by David DiCrescenzo on . Posted in Op-Ed

With the Republican National Convention in Tampa about to start in a matter of days, I have some questions, and they are pointed directly at the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.  Gentlemen, where the hell are you?  What in the world are you waiting for?  Why in the name of God are you being silent? 

You pull out the race card for any reason when you are offended by anything, which is usually nothing more than something you’re hyping for your own financial and/or personal gain.  You accuse entire Lacrosse teams of rape before you know even the basic facts.  You scream bloody murder and jump in front of the cameras when a man like George Zimmerman defended himself and is now ruined for life.  The list of your very stale, rabble rousing racist rhetoric goes on and on; rarely to never with even an ounce real substance, and always to promote your own agendas and incite the worst in all ethnicities.  And when the facts are brought to light and you are shown up for the race baiting charlatans that you are, you never apologize, you simply disappear until the next opportunity arises for self-aggrandizement.  Never do you, like Bill Cosby does, chastise and point your finger at incidents such as what I’m describing below and try to quell violence.

As you can plainly hear from the link above, as I write this, Black Panthers and some other groups that are apparently armed to the teeth and very upset by the wrongfully perceived notion that the Republican Party is trying to hold down an entire race of individuals, are threatening and preparing to converge on that convention to commit all sorts of mayhem on the attendees.  

First of all, let me remind you and them; it was a Republican by the name of Abraham Lincoln that ended that brand of slavery in this nation, and it was Democrats that started and to this day comprise the membership of the KKK.  Martin Luther King, Jr., a man whose ideology, legacy, and goodness the likes of you have twisted and bastardized to suit your own agenda was a Republican.  

Every entitlement that has been doled out over the past 50 years or so has been set up by Democrats that have done so to in large part to re-enslave blacks and other minorities so that they have no incentive to do anything or think for themselves, and they buy the lie of the new ‘masters’ that they keep voting for.  

If you, Al and Jesse, really wanted to help blacks and others from being abused by the system, you would expose those ‘masters’ that you have climbed into bed with, who are enriching themselves by virtue of keeping those you claim to stand for downtrodden.  If white people, let alone Republicans, are so bad, why is it that black ghettos are the most dangerous places to live even, nay, especially for blacks, and why is it that the thousands of blacks that stopped buying the lies are doing so well?  Instead of mirroring and emulating those doing well, you call them ‘Uncle Toms’ and sell outs; and you know damn well that nothing could be further from the truth.    

So, can we expect cars, buildings, and other property to be destroyed?  Will you be happy when people are left maimed or worse in the streets of Tampa?  Will you speak out in defense of this despicable behavior, or will you call any of us that put up a fight to quell the threat racist for doing so?  Because I guarantee you that no matter how fearsome they may think they sound and look, We the People are not afraid of you or them, and we will not bow down to a mob of vile, lowlife, criminal thugs of any ethnic persuasion.  The police may and may not do their jobs, but mark my words, if need be, we will kick every one of these sorry goons back under whatever rock they crawled out from. 

It’s on you Al and Jesse; reach out to this minority of vile cretins and tell them to back down, or expect a lot of people on both sides, but mostly theirs, to be needlessly hurt.  This isn’t about race, even though you’ll paint it as such, this is about doing what’s right.  Please don’t wait until the damage is done this time; get in front of the cameras now and do some good for a change.
