Black Military Pioneer Dies At 85
Orphans In Rwandan Genocide Find Hope In Rural Village
"Do you know how much money I could have made with a megachurch like T.D. Jakes or Eddie Long? Don't you think I could have done that? What I do is my passion, but it's also constant work, and if my reward is getting on television, it seems fair to me. There are enough black people dancing on TV without me."
Minister and civil rights activist Al Sharpton on declining to appear on the popular dance competition series 'Dancing With the Stars.' ('Newsweek')

My guess...Rev Al can cut a mean rug. He's been around music all of his career. (Think James Brown and Michael Jackson) But I doubt it would have done much to raise his profile as a political activist. JMHO

Odd isn't it that someone thinks all blacks are entertainers, or clowns looking for some form of amusement?

I find it extremely hard to fathom the idea that this man is only 55 years old. SMH

Al Sharpton is a protege of the late James Brown. He hung around James long enough to have mean splits and slides. I know the brother has got soul and he would have eaten up that dance floor like it was 1973 and made his muse proud.

Al Sharpton has too many important things to do. This is a way for white america to de-value him by offering a sell out ticket with cssh and so called fame. He is so right to turn down that crap. That show is also racist and that is the other reason they want him on - because black people with sense do not watch that show. They have cheated every black woman that appeared on that show. Thank you Al Sharpton for not falling for that crap. You are a strong black man with a purpose and will never let white america use you in this way. Keep up the good and strong work you are doing. A Happy Black Woman!

They cheat black woman because they know we dance better then them, for one! You know black women get no love from any type of media, unless were devaluing our men! They'll allow a black man to win to make him look appealing to white women (the bulk of the audience) accross amerikkka! These devils think they're slick!
