Al Sharpton's whole national career is based on being the spokesman of Black America after Jesse Jackson went down. Jesse Jackson was running the playbook until 2000-ish when his baby momma drama got publicized (probably by George W Bush's people). He was peak slime too. He'd have companies come to him to get a Black Pass and he'd sell out if they hired one of his friends or wrote his organization a check.

Watch what happens with Target. If Al Sharpton comes out saying Target can come to the cookout, it'll be because him or his friends got paid.

EDIT: Al Sharpton isn't even the one who set up the boycott

Getting hung up on Sharpton is burying the lead. The point is that one of these billion dollar corporations was forced to acknowledge the common citizen through economic pressure.

The precedent is clear, so the next time someone tries to hand wave the idea of a boycott or social pressure, you have to look at them sideways.

:dahell: at people saying that he should meet with Roland instead.





Even in 2025, Al Sharpton is far more famous and well known than Roland is. I'd bet my last Coli Cash dollar that the average Black person doesn't know who Roland Martin is.
