And as far as race-baiting Sharpton, I've got two words for that: "Tawana Brawley."
When racism goes away, Sharpton and others like him will go away. If you do not want to hear for Sharpton anymore, then fix the problems this country has with issues of race instead of acting like everything is OK because slavery and Jim Crow are now over.

This will be my last talk in this thread about that topic.

I would also like to make the point, that as far as I know not a single African-American said anything in this thread about race. So who is playing the "race-card" now? In all the things I saw last night, I did not hear of anyone talk about race at all. And since Bonds does not talk to the media, not sure when you mentioned this either.

Peace
