Who is Al Sharpton?

Well, i mean i know hes this guy, but why does he represent the entire black community? How come whenever someone makes an ignorant or racist statement about african-americans... they have to apologise to Al Sharpton. WHO IS THIS DUDE

He's someone who never shuts up. He's someone who thinks he was directly affected by slavery and therefore knows all about it. He's a bigot.MotherSuperior

'Outspoken' being the key word here.

In fact, I probably have ancestors that were slaves and ancestors that have owned slaves. A lot of us do...

The point is that no one in our time has personally experienced slavery so you should not make people feel like they owe you for enslaving their great-great-grandfather.

Regardless of whether or not he knew the man was a slave, the point is he knew nothing about him and had never met him. Thus it did not significantly impact his life.masterchief2512

He's a civil rights activist, and generally a good debater

He can be an idiot at times though.
