Former NAACP Leader Takes On the Race Hustlers

[Geee]

In an interview with the Daily Caller, former NAACP leader C.L. Bryant challenged the credibility of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, whom he accused of “exploiting” the Trayvon Martin tragedy to “racially divide this country.” He further accused the duo of being “race hustlers” and said they are “acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy.”

 

On Monday, Jackson and Sharpton held a protest attended by thousands in Sanford, Florida, the town where Martin was shot. Al Sharpton took the opportunity to work up a racist angle in a case where, at this juncture, such an angle is as tenuous as it gets. “We are here with two million signatures of people petitioning you to execute the immediate arrest of the killer of Trayvon Martin,” said Sharpton. If the board does not act swiftly, he added, the town could become “the Birmingham of the 21st century, as a place of racial intolerance and double standards.”

 

No one epitomizes racial intolerance or exploits double standards more than Al Sharpton. It was Sharpton who referred to Orthodox Jews in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY as “diamond merchants” during a eulogy at the funeral of Gavin Cato, a black boy killed when a car in a rabbi’s motorcade accidentally struck him. “The world will tell us he was killed by accident,” said Sharpton. “Yes, it was a social accident…It’s an accident to allow an apartheid ambulance service in the middle of Crown Heights…Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid…All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise, no meetings, no kaffe klatsch, no skinnin’ and grinnin’. Pay for your deeds.”
