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.”

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,
http://www.city-journal.org/2015/eon0106ds.html
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.
