On June 18, 2007, a black woman was gang raped by 10 youths and forced at gunpoint to have sex with her own 12 year old son in a housing complex called Dunbar Village in West Palm Beach, Florida. The young men not only viciously punched, kicked and sliced this sister and her son with glass objects, but they also blinded her boy by pouring nail polish remover into his eyes.
The young men forced this sister and son to lay naked in a bathtub together, and attempted to set them on fire (they could not find matches). The youths boldly took cell phone pictures so that they could enjoy their violent, immoral and sadistic acts at a later time. The violence continued for more than three hours, and although this sister’s neighbors heard her screams, no one called the police or came to her aid.

As devastating as this story is, what the NAACP and Al Sharpton have done about it will simply take your breath away: not only did the NAACP ignore hundreds of requests to assist this woman because it was ‘outside the scope of their mission’, but they joined forces with Al Sharpton, and sent their lawyers to speak out IN SUPPORT OF THE RAPISTS.

Rev. Sharpton admitted that “if the suspects were white, he would have been there sooner.”

Al Sharpton, the NAACP, and the Dunbar Village Rape

Sharpton is most infamous for his role in the 1987 Tawana Brawley rape hoax.
[. . .]
. In August 1991, in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, a neighborhood shared by African-Americans and Hasidic Jews, a 7-year-old black boy named Gavin Cato was struck and killed by a Hasidic driver. Rioting erupted and a rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, was fatally stabbed by a group of young black men. Sharpton, who a few days earlier at an unrelated rally in Harlem had said, “If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house,” appeared on the scene and stoked the flames. In a eulogy at the boy’s funeral, where one banner read “Hitler did not do the job,” he attacked Jewish “diamond merchants” in Crown Heights for doing business with apartheid South Africa and provocatively added: “All we want to say is what Jesus said: If you offend one of these little ones, you got to pay for it. No compromise . . . no coffee klatch.”
[. . .]
Sharpton led a boycott of Freddie’s Fashion Mart, a Jewish-owned Harlem clothing store that was seeking to evict a black sub-tenant (possibly at the behest of its African-American landlord). At a series of Sharpton-organized rallies in support of the sub-tenant, the reverend stood by as speakers attacked Jews, and he himself blasted Freddie’s as a “white interloper.” On December 8, 1995, one of the protesters set fire to Freddie’s, killing seven store employees (all minorities).

On Steven Scalise—and Al Sharpton
What conduct should disqualify someone from a public career?

And then there was this comment (Tina Trent January 07, 2015 at 10:43 AM) under story about Sharpton's role in under reported abuses,

Kudos for wishing the blot of Sharpton gone from public life. But you are making a very serious charge against Scalise based on a single accusation from a political source. Are you sure of the facts in this case? If so, then you have an obligation to articulate an argument based on facts, because the picture of what happened is still unclear.
Also, your record of Sharpton's worst sins is incomplete in a very specific way. Sharpton's equally dangerous attacks on the Central Park Jogger victim have been buried by journalists because of a false and politicized finding of innocence on the defendants' part. Even if they were innocent, which they were not, Sharpton still should be held accountable for fomenting a lynch mob against that victim.
The victim had nothing to do with the prosecution, testifying only to her recovery since she had no memory of the attack. But even if she did testify to anything, Sharpton's anti-rape victim lynch mob should have permanently excluded him from decent society because it was a terrorist attack on civilization and the rule of law.
Because of Sharpton's anti-rape victim lynch mob, the victim was forced to go into hiding. She was transported to and from the courtroom under armed guard, and her transportation was once attacked by a Sharpton-incited mob. She was demonized sexually, re-assaulted, called a whore and worse by Sharpton and his followers on the radio and in newspapers. She was hunted like an animal, and we let that happen. We still let it happen every time a politician stands besides Sharpton. We let him re-lynch an innocent rape victim every time Eric Holder and Barack Obama laughingly embrace the lyncher Sharpton.
Do not conveniently edit out the historical fact of this Sharpton-led lynch mob. Face the uncomfortable facts of the whole story. And remember what Sharpton did to the jogger -- what he did to all rape victims but especially victims of interracial rape. Selective memory is selective injustice.
The Jogger trial behavior was more physically dangerous than what happened in Poughkeepsie, and we are betraying civilization, the rule of law, and the victims of that brutality when we paper over it. Every time we fail to call out President Obama and Eric Holder over their pal Sharpton's role in lynching the Central Park Jogger, we are excusing real mob violence.
