Race Pimp Al Sharpton used his National Action Network to run the campaign against Rush Limbaugh’s ownership of the St. Louis Rams.
Like most race pimps, Sharpton takes his bullhorn to corporate America and demands that they either pay up or be tarred and feathered as racists. It is the race pimp equivalent of the mob protection racket.
The National Legal and Policy Center has put together a list of corporations who have paid off Al Sharpton to keep him from bring his bullhorn and Tawana Brawley to their doorstep.
You might like to call them and get them to stop funding the race pimps of America.
The information is below the fold:
The following companies were identified this year by NAN as “sponsors”: American Honda, Anheuser Busch, Colgate-Palmolive, Comcast, Entergy, Ford Motor Company, Home Depot, Johnson & Johnson, Macy’s, PepsiCo, Pfizer and Wal-Mart. Sponsorship reportedly cost $50,000.

Goodell's Disgrace
ggross56 Friday, October 16th at 8:45AM EDT (link)Roger Goodell has disgraced himself in all this.
Goodell doesn't care...and why should he?
smagar Friday, October 16th at 9:21AM EDT (link)ESPN and the mainstream sports media will shield him.
He won’t have to sit down for a tough interview, which probes what he did and didn’t do in the Rush affair.
He won’t have to demonstrate that he exercised due diligence and acted fairly.
He won’t have to explain why “divisive” conservatives can’t be minority owners in NFL teams, but Keith Olbermann can be the face of Sunday Night Football. And, he certainly won’t explain to conservatives why they need to sit there quietly while Olbermann enjoys his power perch each Sunday night.
No, he won’t have to answer any of these questions because the fix is in.
ESPN doesn’t want to explore this issue. Olbermann is one of their own. Something tells me “The Sports Reporters” on ESPN will spend the minimum amount of time on this story as possible this Sunday.
The mainstream sports media is really liberal. They know that exploring this issue further and fully helps Rush…so therefore, the story must die.
The MSM writ large wants this to die fast, too. Apparently, some major newspapers and TV networks have aired libelous material about Rush. There are consequences for that sort of thing…
And Roger Goodell doesn’t want to talk about this any more. If you were him, would you agree to a probing interview?
Fortunately for Roger, the mainstream sports media wants this to end, too, and fast.
“Who will stand/On either hand/And guard this bridge with me?” (Macaulay)
I watched some ESPN last night and didn't see it mentioned at all
ciscoguy Friday, October 16th at 10:52AM EDT (link)I think sports reporters (with some notable exceptions - Jason Whitlock - the Jesse Jackson of sports commentary, for example) try to avoid politics as much as possible. Especially in this case, sticking your neck out to defend Rush will only cause you to get your head lopped off by the MSM. Let’s not forget most of these sports outlets are run by the same liberal dirt bags covering quote-unquote news.
Criticizing Rush still probably isn’t the greatest idea since it will piss-off a lot of your readership, but it won’t get you in trouble with your editors. At least you’ll be in lock-step with the prevailing sentiment on TV- that Rush is a racist, so as long as you’re swimming with that tide, you’ll be ok.
Racist pimp AND racist extortionist
louisiana Friday, October 16th at 9:01AM EDT (link)Those of us who live in Jena know his tactics very well. He made the Jena 6 look like heroes & made the victim & our town look like the perpetrators(thanks to the MSM who told only ONE side of the story.) Two of the Jena 6 were hailed as heroes on a BET program. The story never got out about 3 of the Jena 6 thugs who harrassed people in the Black community. They were GLAD
when these “wanna be gangstas” left! It is estimated that the Jena 6 defense fund pulled in approximately $500,000 - $600,000. Makes you wonder how much Bro Al “earned” by exploiting these kids while screaming RACISTS into
every microphone. The only solution to this type of extortion is to STAND UP
to them & for people like us to STAND AGAINST them. Should Bro Al EVER
show his sorry a$$ in my town again, I will protest against him even if I’m standing alone. He is at heart,a COWARD, & favors hit & run maneuvers, so he probably won’t come back here again. Sorry for the rant–but unless you have experienced his hatred firsthand & have been declared America’s most
racist town (Sharpton’s words), then it’s hard not to get angy all over again.
Yes, the race industry is alive and well.
ciscoguy Friday, October 16th at 9:28AM EDT (link)Who was the civil rights leader who once said (and I can’t remember the exact quote), “beware there will be those who seek to profit from racial injustice even when it no longer exists”
I’m really looking forward to the day these sleazy shakedown artists keel over or, better yet, are run out of business. There is nothing “Revere” about either of these punks, and this country will be a better place without them.
MLK
10ksnooker Friday, October 16th at 10:04AM EDT (link)“because of a degree of academic and economic security and because in some ways they profit by segregation”
At the time he said this, the modern race hustlers didn’t exist, but the profiteers were still there. Now with the Democrats new black plantation, the gate posts are manned by the hustlers, spewing thier racist hatred.
How many jobs are they losing paying off Sharpton?
Steph C Friday, October 16th at 9:51AM EDT (link)It seems to me that they are throwing away money in a bad economy that would better serve creating a couple of jobs each company. I mean, $50k would make two low paying jobs but better than welfare or unemployment.
Instead they give it to the race baiter to create more havoc and further bring people down just so he can try for relevance in a country that, until, the last couple of years really wasn’t that divided on race issues.
I haven’t seen relations so bad since the 60s.

It's like KKK lite
10ksnooker Friday, October 16th at 10:00AM EDT (link)In the old days the KKK would do the intimidation, white and black were intimidated, not just blacks. Yeah the KKK even lynched the Democrats white opposition.
Now we have ACORN and the pimps like Sharpton. Same intimidation, same terror tactics, better public face.
We need to take this crap down. protest Sharpton and his goons. They can only function if unopposed.
The now defunct NFL
michigan Friday, October 16th at 10:03AM EDT (link)has now redefined itself as the new LNFL (Liberal National Football League). They have unabashedly exposed themselves for all to see it’s not about sport, it’s about P.C., money, and liberalism. I can easily do without on any Sunday.
Half the harm that is done in this world
Is due to people who want to feel important
They don’t mean to do harm
But the harm does not interest them.
Or they do not see it, or they justify it
Because they are absorbed in the endless struggle
To think well of themselves.

Race As An Issue
pirate55 Friday, October 16th at 10:52AM EDT (link)I have patiently observed those who assign terms such as “racist” and “racism” and have come to a stunning conclusion. Without controversy they have no careers and in the absence of controversy, they create it to justify their very own existence. Welcome to the term “social injustice” but only use it when it becomes painfully evident such as in the case of Mr. Limbaugh.
I would like to see a list of companies that told Sharpton extortionists to GFT
E Pluribus Unum Friday, October 16th at 11:14AM EDT (link)THAT would be something we could use as well. Boycotts and call-ins to complain, I know those have some effect on both the companies and the public atmosphere of the matter. But think about this angle.
Hypothetical: company A can produce audio tapes of meetings where Sharpton henchmen “offered their protection”, and Company A respectfully declines to play ball (or perhaps even tells them to go pound sand).. It falls somewhat short of prosecutable extortion, or let’s just say it’s not worth it to pursue. NLPC populates a list of companies that have stood up against this extortion, it gets picked up by the Rush Hannity Ingraham Levin Prager Medved Hedgecock et al, they PLAY the audio tapes, and millions of Americans perhaps *tweak* their shopping habits accordingly.
Nothing so formal as a boycott or “buycott”, but a few interesting things happen:
Am I wrong here? I think the right has a big enough voice now.

momofthecastle Monday, October 19th at 7:21AM EDT (link)Good for you, martellus!!!!
I’m not in a position for a new car, but I think that it will not be a Honda — and we’ve had Hondas for 20 years!
what is a "race pimp"?
timwayne Friday, October 16th at 2:19PM EDT (link)I’ve found numerous definitions of “pimp,” but not a single one of which makes any sense grouped with “race.”
Please define your term, Erik.
you have a reading comprehension problem...
DONTREADONME Friday, October 16th at 2:36PM EDT (link)“race pimp” means the use of race to achieve financial gain, i.e., shakedown on the basis of race.
I am beginning to believe you just wait around to play “get Erick”,

oh.
timwayne Friday, October 16th at 2:59PM EDT (link)> “race pimp” means the use of race to achieve financial
> gain, i.e., shakedown on the basis of race.
Oh, I get it. Should have been obvious.
Thanks.
PS: It’s not a reading comprehension “problem” to ask someone to define a term that is not in the dictionary. Dick.
Then try this one from the dictionary
Joe Rivers Friday, October 16th at 2:58PM EDT (link)From Merriam-Webster. It’s not given in the form of a noun, but a person with standard reasoning capabilities ought to be able to make the connection in regard to race:
transitive verb
: to make use of often dishonorably for one’s own gain or benefit
Maquisard
Aren't their any
anotherindyfilmguy Friday, October 16th at 7:06PM EDT (link)Attorney Generals in districts where these corporations have some representation (even as little as a single sales outlet or office etc) willing to take these guys to court for extortion? Especially when it is so well documented to be an open and shut series of cases? Just asking-not a lawyer…
Pimpin for Racism = Pimpin' for Obama
revwarheropeterfrancisco Monday, October 19th at 11:09AM EDT (link)The Race Pimps are just continuing what ACORN started back in the 80’s shaking down the banks to get millions and millions to make bad loans and change the mortgage industry and bring us financial ruin.
The race pimps saw it work so well for ACORN they branched out to do the same.
BTW Booker T Washington is the one that said there would be many that would find racism everwhere and use it for financial gain and not to solve the problem.
Everyone should read Booker T Washington, should be required reading in school instead of diversity or sex mis-education.

A better way to drive the point in cars
revwarheropeterfrancisco Monday, October 19th at 11:13AM EDT (link)Go into the dealer and look for a car than later call back and say you will not buy a car from supporter of Race Pimps and will buy a car from someone more responsible with their donations.
Loss of prospective sales will wake them up quickly.
The $50K they give to these race pimps would be better spent providing clean water, housing, fighting disease, etc
Another definition for "pimp"
Chong Monday, October 19th at 11:32AM EDT (link)or synonym is slave runner. These people are selling out minorities (blacks, hispanics, asians, etc) to gain monentary rewards. That is how I see them, minorities are hurt more by their greed than the corporation missteps. There are some big companies that are big and too greedy, but there are lots more big companies that create jobs and opportunities for everyone in America. Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are the leaches of economy, parasites that need to be remove from the host (minorities). I had to be careful not to use a stronger word than “remove”, didn’t want someone to accuse me of promoting violent.
