Why Is Al Sharpton So Quiet?

I recently posted the following commentary on a debate web site, in response to the events seen in the video link below:

For those who cannot view the link, it shows the brawl outside the Russ Carnahan town hall event last week, in Missouri, where a black conservative protester was verbally and physically assaulted (and battered) by Service Employees International Union (SEIU) members on scene.

While I agree that the president shouldn't personally be blamed for this isolated attack (that would be completely unfair), there is an issue that deserves more attention here.

President Obama is part of the Democratic Party, which fosters class warfare and race-baiting in order to win elections and monopolize votes (like many leftists accuse Republicans of doing with religious voters).

How does it work? Keep people assured that you'll (DNC) help them, and that others (GOP) don't care about them, and that they (victims/voters) cannot make it in this world without your help---because, after all, they're helpless, abused victims without your aid and oversight.

I've been convinced for years now that black conservatives face the worst kind of racism in this country today: intra-racism. Not only do they have to deal with common racism from non-blacks, but they also face widespread, manufactured alienation from their own culture.

This is fostered by a peddled Democratic Party mantra declaring that only their party truly represents black culture, and that blacks are oppressed without their assistance/intervention. Worst of all, this platform implicitly persuades minority supporters to feel "betrayed" by members of the same race who oppose that notion, and who support smaller government and merit-based achievement without excuses or abuses.

All this does is create a cycle of dependency, which essentially maintains the status quo and continually gives the DNC opportunity to keep having power over people who believe in their own powerlessness.

Do I blame all Democrats for this? No.

Do I believe all Democrats are like this? No.

Do I believe that all/most minority, Democratic voters are incapable of thinking for themselves enough avoid brainwashing? No.

But do I truly believe this problem exists, and that it is almost completely overshadowed by the same, recycled stories of racism that foster an "us-against-them" culture amongst many DNC constituents? Yes.

I'll post a link to another debate site (my first debate there, back when it was somewhat decent and uncorrupted), where I spoke on this issue. I no longer participate on this site, but it sums up my analysis. (The site had word limits for debate rounds, too, keep in mind.)

Again, I don't hate Democrats, or all liberals (maybe "hate" is too strong a word even against some liberals). After all, I used to be one. And that experience helped me see this problem for what it really is, and it's partly why I became a political conservative as I got older.

And lastly, where is Al Sharpton on this matter? Jesse Jackson? Henry "Skip" Gates?

Did they not see that three of the SEIU members were white, and that the assaulted man was black?

Could it be that "racial activists" like Al Sharpton are conditional---and thus, part of the real problem---when it comes to legitimate race issues?

Yes.

Martin Luther King, Jr., famously once said, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God, Almighty, we are free at last!" regarding blacks in America; yet with today's conditional racial equality when it comes to black conservatives, I'm reminded more of British author George Orwell's famous passage:

"All . . . are equal, but some . . . are more equal than others."
