rev. sharpton quotes from today's californian
"the only things that run when an exterminator comes are 'roaches'." (This one, I think, can really sound bad out of context... Read the story for that context. He is speaking of his critics.) "I usually like to hang around where folks get upset because it makes me feel they've got something to hide... What they really don't want is someone to address the divisiveness [of American society]." WHY WAS THIS ONE IN THE "SAY WHAT" BOX ON PG. 2? It kinda scares me that the following didn't make sense to some Californian editor! Maybe the paper was just trying to promote discourse... "There is a difference between peace and quiet. Most folks don't want peace, they want quiet. They just want people to shut up and suffer in silence." "If everyone likes you, 'you haven't taken a side.'" 2 comments from 2 users

He's got a sharp mind, and is always quotable. That's why he has remained on the stage of politics and public discourse for so long. Depending on your own leanings, you may not agree with some, or any, of his statements but you think about them.

Okay, but these are the quotes that killed me when I read the article: "When you don't see yourself as nothing, you have nothing to strive for," "The reason most of you don't arrive is you ain't headed nowhere..." I mean, come on!! I understand country speak, for crying out loud how many of us from Bakersfield have elder family members from OK? But seriously, if you want people to take you seriously and your ranting about the inequalities and plights of black people in society, speak proper english!!! Is it too much to ask? UGH!
