Pot Calls Kettle BLACK as Al Sharpton Blames Trump for ‘Toxic’ Race Relations

When it comes to those who depend on keeping racism alive largely because doing so is in their best personal business interests, there are few bigger grievance pimps that the Reverend Al Sharpton.

Since exploding onto the national scene in the 1980s due to his exploitation of a number of high profile New York City criminal cases, Sharpton has managed to make a nice living for himself as one who can find the tint of race in pretty much everything.

It not only pays the bills but he has risen to become one of the left’s greatest voices and even landed his own gig on Democrat propaganda network MSNBC.

A loud, overbearing, and flamboyant gadfly, Sharpton must be in his true glory now that Barack Obama and the Democrats have set race relations back decades and despite his advanced age, he remains relevant.

But Big Al is a chronic bull manure spreader and in a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black, he is blaming President Donald Trump for making race relations “more toxic” going back into his heyday to rip off the scabs of wounds that will never be allowed to heal thanks to Sharpton and his ilk.

In an opinion piece for NBC News entitled “Rev. Al Sharpton President Trump Is Exactly the Same Selfish Blowhard I Knew Back In New York”, one of the loudest empty barrels of all writes:

There were hopes last year that the executive office would temper some of this pettiness, but sadly we now see this is not the case. Rather than attempt to grow and learn, Trump has leaned into his role as divider-in-chief. This is exactly the same racially divisive, unapologetic blowhard I knew in New York.

And the results unfortunately speak for themselves. His ugly, contentious presidential campaign has translated into an equally ugly and divisive first year. Whether it’s attacking Congresswoman Frederica Wilson following the tragic deaths of four soldiers in Niger, hesitating to condemn white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, advocating for the firing of NFL players exercising their First Amendment rights, or politicizing terrorist attacks, Trump’s time in office has only made this country more polarized.

Put simply, Trump took America’s existing racial tensions and made them even more toxic.

A year ago, I wanted to believe that there was hope. I wanted to believe that this man who had spent years questioning President Obama’s birthplace might be humbled by his office. I wanted to believe that the gravity of the situation would eventually kick in, and he would work to achieve something admirable with his newfound power. I wanted to believe America was not in the hands of an unyielding demagogue incapable of growth. And I was wrong.

Sharpton also called Trump a “consummate narcissist and self-promoter” which would seem to be a perfect description of the face in the mirror that stares back into his ugly mug every morning.

There will never be an end to racism as long as there are cynics like Reverend Al who are able to benefit both financially and politically from exploiting resentments of those who are too quick to blame their own failures on a white supremacist society that has kept them down.
