Well It makes sense that that is where all his supporters come from but he is still in the wrong no matter what he is. He has been calling for these protests in the name of the two deceased persons and police are being assaulted in the name of these two people, and then when two police officers get killed he is all about denouncing violence in the deceased names. He tells the media on thing, that we then know about, and then turns around and tells his followers another thing, which we then don't know about. But all he wants is to start his own civil rights era that he will be most famous for. He doesn't realize that Martin Luther King Jr. and Kennedy pretty much ended that with their laws. Yes sure there's going to be problems in society once and a while but no matter what those will still be there. Yes some police officers are racist. But that dosn't mean that everybody who wears blue and carries a shield(badge) are racist. Rev. Sharpton wants to take us back to the 30s to 70s and make a name for himself. His title, fake or not, represents him as a man of the cloth. He should learn to represent his title better by asking for peace instead of violent protests that pretty much turn into riots.
