For decades, one of the greatest instigators of hate has been Al Sharpton. He always shows up under the phony guise of trying to help, but what he is really there for is to first and foremost promote himself and secondly to divide by playing the race card.
In my eyes, Sharpton has become a caricature or a cartoon character. He is so obviously someone not to be taken seriously that I am surprised anyone cares about anything he says. He is a “never was, has been” who pitifully tries to stay relevant.
His new attempt to stay in an ever-dimming spotlight is to go blatantly racist and threaten any companies that have eliminated their DEI programs. In the slim chance you aren’t aware of what DEI is, it stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. It is a quota system that only recognizes skin color, gender, or sexual orientation. So, if you are a person of color, female, gay, lesbian, or transgender, you are the person who gets hired under DEI. Merit and experience are never factored in, and Whites and Asians are mostly excluded unless passing you over would be impossible to explain.
According to Fox News, Sharpton issued the threat while speaking at the Metropolitan AME Church in Washington, D.C., on Monday. He announced that his organization, the National Action Network, will first conduct a study on companies that are dropping their DEI initiatives. Once the study is complete, boycotting will begin.
