Sharpton Castigates Blacks For Blindly Supporting Democrats

Al Sharpton blasted blacks at the National Urban League's annual meeting for voting for Clinton and Democrats blindly without asking for anything in return. Like Bill Cosby, Sharpton also said that the culture in the black needs to change and return churches to the center of the community.

Referring to gangster rappers, Sharpton said, "We've gone from 'black and proud' to groups now calling themselves "Niggers with an attitude."

While I disagree with Sharpton about how the "white man" keeps black people down, it's nice to see that more black leaders are addressing problems within their communities.
