Al Sharpton Admits He Made Mistake in Trayvon Martin Shooting
It was only yesterday that the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, and NAACP President Benjamin Justice lead a NAACP march and rally for Trayvon Martin in front of the Sanford Police Department in Sanford, Florida where Sharpton called for sanctions (1) against the city and its police department unless police immediately arrest Zimmerman.
That was yesterday. Today I confronted the Rev. Sharpton and made him read my article Trayvon Martin was a Thug where I show that everything originally reported in the news was inaccurate and that George Zimmerman was being unfairly tried in media. I think the article made him finally see the light after all his missteps: he took the wrong side in the Tawana Brawley hoax, he rushed to judgment in the Duke lacrosse rape case , he was responsible for the death of Yankel Rosenbaum, and many other heinous acts of race-baiting.
And now he learns that Trayvon never bought any Skittles, he merely told his father this lie because he really wanted to go out and score some dope. I mean, come on, what 17 year-old is going to walk a mile in the rain to a 7-11 (that's the nearest one to his father's house) to get some candy? As for why he didn't go by car, that's simple, his father certainly wasn't going to give this loser his car for a drug-buy. As proof, we note two things, the police never found any Skittles on his person or at the scene, and more significantly: his father knew he was going out for drugs, for example, his father didn't report him missing even after a few days because he assumed his son was out there somewhere stoned out of his mind.
So Sharpton finally apologized for his anti-white, bigoted, racist, hate-mongering:
Yo Bernie, you persistent Jewboy, OK, OK - ah apologize - ah made uh mistake so what 'chew trippin foh? Now ah knows dat he wuz no pimp-tight boy - ah seen da photo - brace yo'self foo' - but dat's not da boy dat dun bin shot.
Ah knows now dat he dint go out ta gank skittles - anybody sez diffrent - ah sez don' make me come ova there bitch.
Ah is finally too tard ta keep up da lie. OK den: ah sez it agin: I dun made uh mistake. I'm sorreh. You happy now Jewboy?
After he apologized, he said something about "Happy April Fool's Day."

The Christian Science Monitor, 31 Mar 2012, Trayvon Martin: With call for sanctions, is Al Sharpton crossing a line?
Already under fire for his dual role as civil rights activist and media personality in publicizing the shooting of unarmed Florida teen Trayvon Martin, the Rev. Al Sharpton is receiving pushback against his call for economic sanctions against Sanford, Fla.
...
But while MSNBC has defended its decision to allow Sharpton to continue his activism as long as he's straightforward about his role, some are concerned that the new phenomenon of personality-driven news activism is inappropriate and could affect innocent bystanders.
