“Kill the Police!”
By • 4/28/08 |

After a jury acquitted three New York policeman for killing black crime suspect Sean Bell in self-defense, Al Sharpton led an angry mob shouting “Kill the police!” through the city.
Sharpton urged people to return for a meeting this coming week “to plan the day that we will close this city down” with the kind of “massive civil disobedience” once led by Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Heather Mac Donald details the Bell case here. Two of the three policeman charged with killing were, in fact, black.
Conservatives go after Sharpton as though obscenities like this would disappears if only we discredited the “race hustlers.” However, Sharpton can always stir up a mob that’s apparently all too eager to be “hustled.” When will Americans plainly admit that the problem is not the hustlers, it’s the race?

The guy in the photograph wearing a KKK hood is described as a ‘civil rights activist’. Has killing the police become another of those ‘rights’ that are discovered by minorities on a daily basis?

I remember reading in a BBC article about this incident that Al Sharpton actually had the gall to claim that his protest wasn’t about race, but rather about “police accountability”. I think I actually chuckled out loud. The presence of Al Sharpton automatically assumes a racial bias in favor of blacks, despite the fact that two of the accused officers were black. But, then again, the black population seems all-too-eager to take time off of work to protest against Whitey.

I agree with Alex Lee. It is now to the point that if any white people were involved (even though there were black officers involved) that it was a racist situation. This should further apall all white people and really send the message home that people need to have a racial awakening. Thanks for the great articles and really good insight.

It is always about race. I don’t see how modern White Americans can believe in someone who allegedly walked on water 2,000 years ago but deny racial differences or the biological validity of race. Sharpton is a tool and that’s good. This will only further the wake up call for Whitey.
