The label "Civil Rights Pharisees" is shown to be the most accurate description of these band of operatives with each passing year. Their irrelevance to the ultimate conditions on the streets of the Black community becomes more obvious.
I have notated many times before that painful truth that there exists great poverty and "devilment" in walking distance of many of the most ornate Black churches across America. While all of the Christians enter into the edifice for Sunday Service, Wednesday night prayer service - there exists a far larger community of souls in ear shot that will never receive the "good news" that those who are treated to the acoustical "Feng shui" of the chapel's audio system are embellished with.
When I watched the video of Al Sharpton's sorrow that the "Civil Rights Pharisees" failed to plant someone with a folding chair outside of the US Parks Service overnight thus obtaining the permit for the Lincoln Memorial on August 28 I was made to think about the need to break up the ritual and disperse the message of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.
A far bigger insult to the memory of King than is Glenn Beck - are the "Klan-like" forces that are terrorizing the Black community to-damned-day. With the situation as critical as it is in this "Bloody Summer 2010" - there is more of a need to get the message that was going to be delivered at Lincoln's feet out to the masses.
I would be more impressed with Al Sharpton and other Civil Rights Pharisees if they were to take a copper penny, flip it to the heads side and lay it on the corner of every Black community that is problem plagued and read a speech that was distributed via FaceBook to all who are interested. This speech at "Lincoln's Feet" would be far more useful to the Black community where we stand today.
