Here we go again with Al Sharpton’s blatant, disgusting race-baiting. This is of a piece with the contemptible rabble-rousing we heard earlier today from various members of the Congressional Black Caucus. At least here Sharpton unwittingly provides some comic relief with his patented inability to speak the English language or form a coherent thought. I had to pause and rewind the video several times just to make sure I understood what the heck he was trying to say.

My favorite part: Sharpton noting the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Stream” speech.

Seriously though: If “states rights” is just code for racism, then why don’t we ever hear Democrats proposing to repeal the 10th Amendment? I’m just curious.

Depressingly, Sharpton is hardly the only jerk out there who gets a kick out of dredging up America’s old racial wounds.

How does he get away with talking to the blacks and calling them "us"?! Can you imagine if Rush said something like "Obama and his black friends are trying to divide us (meaning whites)!" This man is a disgrace to every black man who is holding a job, working hard for his family, and paying too much in taxes to give these flash mob kid's parents welfare checks to smoke and drink up!!

Al Sharpton. Just his name makes me grit my teeth. He and the rest of the his tribe will set back race relations fifty years.

Much.

Sharpton is a real idiot.

Jesse Jackson was creating chaos within the black community years ago. Had Sharpton decided to become more of a racial unifier, he would have become a modern day MLK and many would applaude his efforts.

Instead, he decided to go the racist, it's whitey's fault angle and here is where he is today.

A racist creep, oppressing his community and filling the heads of his followers with lies and deceit. He is a sorry excuse for a human being, reverend and civil rights leader

williamm, Thank You! That video needs to be seen by all. After that it needs to be THROWN IN THE FACE OF THESE HYPOCRITES!!!! I'm not too old but not too young. I remember when High School American History classes became Social Studies classes. Change the course, change the subject. The fact that this coincided with the establishment of the National Education Association should not be overlooked. Why noone will answer these accusations with HISTORICAL FACT is beyond my comprehension.

Better to hold your tongue and have man believe you a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

State rights are a mechanism through which people are protected from civil injustices.

For Example: Hypothetically, the Federal Gov't decides to disallow Same Sex Marriage on a National level. A state (say Massachusetts) could, under the 10th Amendment, say "Forget You! We make these decisions, not you" and through their own laws and procedures, allow same sex marriage within that state.

In this example, the 10th Amendment would protect the liberal agenda.

How can people like Al Sharpton be so short sighted on this issue?

This total ignoramus.

It was LBJ that prevented civil rights legislation during Eisenhower's 2nd term.

America be prepared, should obamDUH not be reelected, all he!! will break loose

First the CBC, now this guy. This is a orchestrated move to gin up the BLACK YOUTH.

I do believe older, working blacks understand what is happening and I don't believe they're to happy about US economic outlook either.

I'm sorry Dan- I've had more than enough racist, lying disgusting, evil, outrageous, pathetic, offensive, disturbing, dangerous hyperbole for one day. Sharpton the supposed REVERAND, had better get a grip.. He's going to have to answer to a lot some day, so perhaps now would be a good time for him tolong look at what kinds of fruit his rhetoric has produced.
