    You messed up your links, but I went and looked up the URLs anyway. It was pretty weak sauce. Undated descriptions of events and some short, undated, out of context quotes.

    I’m going to go ahead and assume most of the quotes were from a long time ago. People evolve, and we should let them. Malcolm X did too, before he was assassinated. I’ve seen a lot of evidence that Sharpton isn’t racist based on his recent appearances, but not much evidence to indicate he is, and of what I’ve seen here, it was probably from a long time ago since all the references are devoid of context.

      Oh so we’re in an age where we shame people for 10+ year old twitter statuses and cancel them. But because a black guy said some things then you decide it’s undated? Double standards, much?

        Dude, I don’t give a shit about your crusade or Al Sharpton. Your links were weak and now you’re mad that one of the few people who actually took the time to read and comment on them wasn’t cornered into sharing your opinion. Sorry. It’s like the 10,000th most important priority right now. Maybe take a look around.
