Sharpton & Young Activists Not on Same Page: They Are Pimping You

Feb 9, 15 by Qwest7 Leave a comment

*They may crusade for the same cause, but things look to be anything but united concerning young activists and the Rev. Al Sharpton.

Speaking recently at a gathering in the Harlem office of his National Action Network (NAN), the MSNBC PoliticsNation host expressed his feelings towards the hate hes received from young protesters who have taken a stand against police brutality around the nation in response to the grand jurys decisions to not indict those responsible for the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner.

In his eyes, those criticizing him and other veteran activists areattempting to split the young activists from the older activists

They are pimping you, Sharpton said in his speech as he cited a police brutality march he led in Missouri in which he agreed to let young activists speak after demanding the time to do so.

Ive been meeting with them and talking with them since. And they were told, Your problem is Al Sharpton and the other guys. Anytime you have movements, whether its in Ferguson, whether its in New York, whether its in Denver, wherever it is, when they got you more angry at your parents then they got you at the vote youre supposed to be out there for, youre being tricked and youre trying to turn the community into tricks. And they are pimping you, to do the Willie Lynch in our community.

How you going to be more mad at folk that are marching for the same cause then you are against the folks yall are marching against? Dont you see a trick in there? Sharpton continued.

Although he alluded to a responsible party for all the drama, CapitalNewYork.com noted that Sharpton didnt name names during his speech. As he continued speaking, Sharpton emphasized the effect the disunity is having to the overall cause.

And why they got yall arguing about old or young in Ferguson, they running an election and yall aint got a candidate in the race. Cause youre busy arguing with your mommy and daddy when they re-electing a mayor, and re-electing a prosecutor. They got you arguing about who going to lead a marchthe old or the youngwhen they cutting up the city budget. You cant be that stupid! You more worried about who going to lead [National Action Network] than who going to be the governor with a multi-billion dollar budget that you got to pay state tax in. You cant be that stupid., he said.

The National Association of African-American Owned Media filed a lawsuit in California on Friday against Comcast and Time Warner Cable seeking about $20 billion in damages. The Association is also suing MSNBC host Al Sharpton for allegedly allowing discrimination.

The complaint claims that Comcast and Time Warner Cable "collectively spend approximately $25 billion annually for the licensing of pay-television channels and advertising of their products and services, yet 100% African Americanowned media receives less than $3 million per year, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

In 2010, when Comcast acquired NBCUniversal, Comcast entered into memoranda of understanding with the NAACP, the National Urban League and the National Action Network, but the lawsuit says the voluntary diversity agreements are "a sham, undertaken to whitewash Comcasts discriminatory business practices."

The National Association of African-American Owned Media claims that the only fully owned black-channel picked up by Comcast is the Africa Channel and all other black channels are said to be window dressing, with black celebrities as "fronts" when they are "white-owned businesses" that are run by friends or family of Comcast executives.

The Association alleges that Comcast gave $3.8 million to Sharpton and his National Action Network so that Sharpton would endorse the NBCU deal and divert attention away from discrimination.

The lawsuit asserts that Comcast allowed Sharpton to maintain his hosting position [on the Comcast co-owned MSNBC] for more than three years in exchange for Sharptons continued public support for Comcast on issues of diversity despite the notoriously low ratings that Sharptons show generates,as reported by the New York Post.

In response to the lawsuit, Sharpton told the New York Post: "I would welcome it. We could then be deposed on what this gentleman asked us to do to help him get programming, which we frankly considered below our standard and unethical."
