bingolong,
see this is what upsets me about Sharpton. instead of blasting a CARTOON Network -- key word being CARTOON -- he should start going door to door in Harlem and start complaining about how that community disappeared because of its own people. then keep it moving to the Bronx, Far Rockaway, Newark, NJ Paterson NJ, etc. many there don't even know who King, Rosa, Medgar, Ghandi, or Malcolm was or what they really stood for.
the last remaining survivor of the Tuskeegee Airmen is still in NYC, they don't even care to tap into that knowledge from him. the Harlem Dance Studio fell on hard financial times - no community support. icons (people and places) are slipping away silently.
another perfect example is me moving to the NY area and discovering Malcolm was buried just 10 minutes north of the Bronx. I thought I was the last one to know but found out I was one of few TO KNOW.
I stand by that Boondocks episode, because the same thing Sharpton is complaining about, he's passing right on the streets of NYC.
walking down 125th one day, niggas was just cussing, fighting, conning, etc. while gentrification was happening right under their noses.
one girl was strutting w/a mid-drift semi see-through t-shirt on and skin tight low cut jeans w/the t-shirt in large letters: "I HAVE THE PUSSY - I make the rules" and was cussing up a storm while loudly on her cell and walking w/her equally hoochie-fied friend. and surprisingly this was about normal and the middle of the day. she hopped into a car of some dude she just met. I guess the car fit the rules.
then there was a shooting on the street that same day, over something stupid I'm guessing. a mother w/a baby was shot in the croossfire. and this happened right outside Bill Clinton's office on W. 126th between Sylvia's/Malcolm X and 5th Av. and that was just ONE day alone. Marcus Garvey Park is filled w/drug dealers at night. can't even walk through it after a certain hour. ain't enough room to fill ya in on other days.
niggas are exactly what the Boondocks' King described and someone like King would have to wade through daily.
and Sharpton needs to hang out in Harlem or any urban black neighborhood real quick before he sends another letter of complaint.
not to mention here's someone who speaks highly of Sharpton:
a drug dealer's g/f has info that Sharpton supports her also drug dealing uncle's fake cause -- he's a victim of NYPD racism WHILE SELLING DRUGS openly and bragging about killing off other drug dealings on PUBLIC PHONES which was recorded by the feds.

they have a fake movie out now from hustling many people.
now this same woman helps her drug dealing b/f hustle white women because they stated they are the easiest target to steal from -- her man dates/moves in w/the woman for her money, she pays for his cell while he's out on "his job" (sex to deceive). he brings the money from the white woman home to her so she can buy fake and real designer clothes and ride around in the woman's car with each of their different kids from multiple people. they look down on EDUCATED BLACKS or any blacks doing anything positive, they're considered weak to them.
that alone tells me the finger pointing towards racism here is dead wrong.
