Reformed Anglicanism has watched this story. Something is amiss at the investigative level in the chain of command, as well as, perhaps, the DA's office in Sanford, FL, where this story is developfing. The FL State Attorney General is looking at it as well as the FBI. A Grand Jury will, in time, hear the preliminary set of facts. However, the "Big Al", or the the "Big Rev. Al" Sharpton, has jumped far too quickly and has spoken very, very brashly. Sharpton has no theological training and it shows--over and over and over. Sharpton has no legal or law enforcement training--and that shows too. Rather than deliberation, thoughtfulness, coolness, calmness, and consideration--things that come with education--we've witnessed exaggerated claims, conclusions and imputations. Actually, Sharpton hurts rather than helps the cause. Fairness, balance, justice and thoroughness is what anyone desires. Black, white, tan, green or purple people want fairness. The question in our mind, presently, murder 2 perhaps? Or, manslaughter? Time will tell and it should tell. In this story, however, a former NAACP leader accuses Sharpton and Jackson, a Johnny-come-lately-as-the-story-developed, as race-baiting, race-hustling, and product-promotion. This much, Sharpton is quite a rabble-rouser and manipulator of emotional people...quite unwise and quite unpastoral.
Former NAACP Leader Accuses Sharpton and Jackson of "Exploiting" Trayvon Martin
 |
| C.L. Bryant |
“His family should be outraged at the fact that they’re using this child as the bait to inflame racial passions,” Rev. C.L. Bryant said in a Monday interview with The Daily Caller.
The conservative black pastor who was once the chapter president of the Garland, Texas NAACP called Jackson and Sharpton “race hustlers” and said they are “acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy.”
Jackson, for example, recently said Martin’s death shows how “blacks are under attack” and “targeting, arresting, convicting blacks and ultimately killing us is big business.” (SEE ALSO: Jesse Jackson says Trayvon Martin ‘murdered and martyred’)
George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain, killed Martin, a 17-year-old black man who was unarmed at the time of his death, last month. Zimmerman has claimed to have shot Martin in self-defense and has not been charged with a crime.
But Bryant, who explores the topic of black-on-black crime in his new film “Runaway Slave,” said people like Jackson and Sharpton are being misleading to suggest there is an epidemic of “white men killing black young men.”
“The epidemic is truly black on black crime,” Bryant said.
“The greatest danger to the lives of young black men are young black men.”
