151. This man never has anything positive to say. If he really wants to set forth change, which I agree that as a nation we do need to come together, why not accentuate anything positive in the African American community? I think the we all need to be informed when any person is wronged, regardless of race. Is this man not realizing that he is only making the "negative" even worse??? I have never heard him say hey, look at this great thing going on.....I mean I'm just saying....

153. 146. Uh...whites don't cry and whine and blame everyone else for their problems like black people do. So, I guess the answer is the Philly cop don't need the "white" Al Sharpton. Just being honest folks.

Hi Honesty,

Did you fail your last history class? Um, revolutionary/ civil war ring a bell? What about protests during the Korean/ Vietnam/ Iraq war? Women’s suffrage? Women’s civil rights movement in the 60s/ 70s? The list goes on. PEOPLE protest when think the government/ system has failed them or when they want to bring an issue to the forefront. It’s part of American history.

154. '142. I knew I'd be annoyed after reading TMZ. It's a sounding board for the uneducated and the secret bigot. I love my gossip and I thought TMZ stopped promoting hate. Thank goodness for other sites.

Don't go to TMZ for reporting on Sean Bell/ Sharpton. The following article tells what REALLY happened,

No it doesn't. It just said that a drunken idiot plowed into a cop car. It doesn't say anything else beyond that - and when I see pictures of idiots screaming like those in that URL, I think about braying jackasses standing on hills.... like the ones in that picture.

Braying jackasses - just like you.

156. LOL @ Disgusted by Sharpton

The NYT article talks about what happened during the protest, what TMZ failed to do. Poor thing. Maybe you shouldn't have dropped out of 5th grade?

157. Reply to #153, no dude. The guys name is Eric Floyd, he straight up shot a Philadelphia cop last weekend. He be black and the cop be white - just wondering - where the huge uproar from the white community is?????????? Please, the president and congress - they run around spewing hatred towards the black community? No idiot. Look clearly you're an idiot and extremely biased - this conversation will go nowhere with your mindset. Naaa what Im sayin....

159. WELL YOU FINALLY DID IT! TO ALL OF THE IGNORANT, RACIST, IDIOTS THAT HAVE MADE THIS AND EVERY ARTICLE THAT COMES ON THIS SITE WITH A BLACK FACE ATTACHED TO IT A RACIAL ISSUE, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY, "BITE IT" AND "GOOD BYE". THANK YOU TMZ, FOR GIVING ME BACK MY WASTED TIME. I WILL NOT BE BACK TO THIS SITE. I'VE SAID IT BEFORE, BUT NOW I REALLY MEAN IT. I WILL GET MY INFORMATION FROM EDUCATED SOURCES LIKE THE NEWSPAPER. IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG, RIDE.

160. Al Sharpton is a bigger racist that Robert Byrd was in his prime.

161. Reply to #153...you betcha! I think the white folks have finally given in and are fighting back to all the smack we get from the black folks. If you can't beat em...(try and be better) than I guess you gotta join em. Hence, we are talking aloud and expressing our opinions like they have been for years. And, why in the world would you come here for "information" as you put it? This is no proxy for a new source idiot.

162. Dear Al, Get lost and take Obama with you. Dear God help us all. I cant see how or why we let him do this to us all. The blacks dont want him. I know the white folks dont want him at all. Hey send him over to find Osama Binladen. Send Jesse Jackson and the rest of the black folks who hate us for whatever it is we did. NOTHING! There ungreatful to how many white folks stick thier necks out only to be drug down,they dont care.

It doesn't tell the whole story, idiot. Maybe you're the one that dropped out of grade school. That might go a long way in explaining how you find Sharpton credible instead of the cops.

Booze, guns and strange p*ssy - and trying to kill a cop by running him over - twice. Guess that slipped your mind. Guess you'd better go back to school. - and please don't breed. There are enough idiots like you willing to ignore the whole Bell story, ignore Shawana Brawley rape case, all the riots caused by blacks - not whites - and you'll probably vote for Hussein Obama.

'
A white Sharpton? The President, members of Congress, etc.'

Wow. You probably think you're really clever with that answer don't you. Yup - you're a braying jackass alright.

164. al sharpton is a waste of oxygen. people like him keep racist BS alive. White people dont 'owe' black people a thing. he cries race and slavery at every turn but does he realize blak people are the ones who sold them in the first place and not to mention there WERE white slaves..he needs to come off that holy hors ehe thinks he is on. Id hate to see his afterlife.
