Wow. Al Sharpton can really think on his feet. I was so impressed. [View all]

He handed a Republican Sam Nunberg his ass on AM Joy today. Nunberg was trying to monopolize the conversation with his usual BS and Al put him in his place with intelligence and style. I had to laugh. He literally schooled Nunberg. Amazing. I haven't watched Al very much before, but you can believe I will definitely watch him in the future.

What about an "AA drawl" makes one "sound like a dummy?" EffieBlack Aug 2018 #14

A lot of white racists think that the AA accent and way of speaking vlyons Aug 2018 #15

A lot of folks think that the white Texas accent and way of speaking is not intelligent. Older Than I Look Aug 2018 #23

Re-read what you wrote. The way it's phrased sends out a negative message. brush Aug 2018 #17

I looked for it too. I don't think it's available - yet. Rhiannon12866 Aug 2018 #31

Excellent refutations by Sharpton. Sadly, Ari Melber had epic fail interviewing Bannon Friday. Prof.Higgins Aug 2018 #20

Sharpton realizes that Nunberg is still a R operative and treats him as a hostile witness. stopbush Aug 2018 #21

I was a bit disappointed that no one shot down Nunberg when stopbush Aug 2018 #22

Reverend Al is intelligent and multi-talented. Also, he possesses great comedic timing. John1956PA Aug 2018 #29
