Al Sharpton is a classic example. Here's a guy who was created by the media and is trying to go down in history as another MLK. But he has done so by using any devious means possible and to create as much tension between the races as possible.

Al Sharpton - if you listen to him - is really speaking for the common citizen. You might take a moment - the next time C_SPAN presents a group debate - to listen to him.

He is an ex-drug dealer and is responsible for causing a riot in Crown Heights that resulted in the death of a man.

There's a quote from some religious mythology that says:
"Let him without sin cast the first stone"

The test to trust anothoer human being, perhaps, could be in this question:
"Do you masterbate?"

If they answer yes, you can trust them:-)

I am still trying to find someone who can point out something good this man has contributed to society.
He did work with MLK and organizations that supported MLK. The teachings and efforts of MLK bettered the lives of all commoners.
