This is a good example of a few things. The video itself is not all that interesting, other than the fact Sharpton appears to have amnesia. What is interesting is the value of being on offense in the culture war. Sharpton is a a ridiculous person, who should be back preaching in a ghetto church, but he is always on offense. That’s what prevents him from being ejected from the media. Even so-called conservatives like Sean Hannity, treat the guy with respect.
As soon as you concede ground to these guys, you lose. That’s why you always have to be on the offensive.Of course, it helps that Shaprton is protected by the people in charge, because he is useful in the war on white people. That’s another important point about Sharpton. Pointing out his hypocrisy of the hypocrisy of the media for embracing him does nothing. It’s just another form of groveling. Worse still , it confirms the morality of Left by claiming Sharpton is violating it.
If the wild and crazy Surrealists of olden times were to come back to life in Our Times they would soil themselves in horror and give up dope and absinthe.

Socks? I thought it was a gag, but it turns out to be true.
