Al Sharpton is the gift that just keeps giving. No matter how many rich white liberals keep putting the “Reverend” without a church on television, Sharpton just keeps making himself look, well… stupid.
Never one to shy away hucksterism and shameless self-promotion, be it at the expense of Tawana Brawley or hawking car title loans aimed at poor people (at 300 percent interest), count on Reverend Al to have the shine of the camera lights on him.
But here’s what I consider the most glaringly obvious first clue to anyone with even half a brain as to what a complete fraud this guy is — his inability to intelligently speak the English language.
Case in point: While speaking before an audience at the New Mount Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in West Garfield Park, located on the West Side of Chicago, IL, the good Reverend launched into his standard tirade against President Trump.
Possibly at the regret of every person on the planet who values a good education, reporter Kyle Becker of the Independent Journal Review notes other than his usual anti-Trump screed, Sharpton recently whipped himself up into another of his glassy-eyed hissy fits, but this time it was aimed directly at the president’s eldest daughter, Ivanka.
In what could best be described as unworthy of a fourth grade drop-out;
“They say now she ain’t got no title. She ain’t got no role. We ain’t payin’ her no money. But she can see everything classified.”
Granted, the Grammar Police should have immediately booked him on multiple counts of attempted murder of the Mother Tongue.
Seriously, is even a count or two of felonious use of double-negatives with intent to dumb-down asking too much?
Ivanka into the White House? It’s like a coup, and the dictator’s family is moving into the palace as it prepares to the loot the country.

I had a security clearance & West Wing office. @IvankaTrump diminishes the value of expertise & hard work it took me & others to get there. https://t.co/rRVzDfR53d

Another example of Sharptonisms at their best would be during the Trayvon Martin controversy, the MSNBC court jester was quoted as eruditely stating (see video below);
Don’t talk to us like we stupid, don’t talk to us like we ig’nint.
Other than dumping verbs faster than CNN distances themselves from anything even remotely resembling objective journalism, Sharpton’s on the fly grammatic contractions (ie: Ghettoese) are actually quite impressive… in a snake oil salesman kind of way.
Ahh, but this isn’t the first time Sharpton dazzled the world with his ig’nince of the Queen’s English.
As opined at New Jersey’s Kean College in 1994:
White folks was in caves while we was building empires.
We [blacks] taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.
I’m not exactly sure why Sharpton would be bragging about blacks teaching paganistic astrology. You think he might have meant “astronomy”?
