Yeah, Sharpton's gonna burn this motherfucker down . . . [View all]

with his call for "an escalation in peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions."

Yeah, kill whitey. This is anger. A ballot or a bullet. Be afraid whities, here come the economic sanctions.

Drudge shows a screaming Sharpton, with RED LETTERS underneath, "ESCALATION!"

In all seriousness, whatever. Maybe there needs to be civil disobedience; maybe there needs to be silence. I'm certainly not criticizing Sharpton. I think what he's doing makes sense. I just think it's idiotic about how the right wing will turn it into something potentially violent and dangerous.

I just find the headlines about "escalation" amusing. Oh, those angry black men calling for peaceful civil disobedience and economic sanctions. Hide your white women!!!! Good lord.
