Al's fire and brimstone
Celebrity activist Al Sharpton criticized the Mormon church and other religious groups for mobilizing to fight gay marriage, but turning their backs on other social concerns.It amazes me when I looked at California and saw churches that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young black boy was shot while he was wearing police handcuffs, nothing to say when they overturned affirmative action, nothing to say when people were being delegated into poverty, yet they were organizing and mobilizing to stop consenting adults from choosing their life partners.
There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people’s bedrooms and claim that God sent you.
Sharpton was in Atlanta for the launch of the Alliance of Affirming Faith-Based Organizations, started by Rev. Dennis Meredith, who recently acknowledged he is bisexual. The often-controversial Sharpton got a roar of approval from the congregation when he said:
I am tired of seeing ministers who will preach homophobia by day, and then after they’re preaching, when the lights are off they go cruising for trade.

Al, Al, Al, still so angry, and still so pointless and out of date. The African American community has left you as a remnant of the old guard.
You might have served a purpose once, now you are just noise.
Besides with you Al, it was never about "us", it was always about you.
Al Sharpton will spend eternity in Hell for his involvement in the Tawana Brawley case.
Sharpton is a racist, lying, charlatan.
Al must not know about the LDS Church welfare program that assists the impoverished, the world wide humanitarian efforts expanded annually for all peoples regardless of religion, and significant assistance with education around the world and in the U.S. with the building of schools and the Perpetual Education Fund.
