Sharpton, Jackson: Sheep's clothing

To the editor:The recent letter from K.P.S. Kamath was right on target. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson hide behind a religious cloak to promote their own racist and self-serving agenda.

Jackson has made himself and members of his family multimillionaires by being a shake-down artist. He has never performed an honest day's work in his life. We all remember Jackson's famous "hymie town" remarks.

Sharpton was despicable in the Tawana Brawley case and was found liable for $65,000 by a jury for defamation of a former white prosecutor. Sharpton has used racist remarks including "blood-sucking Jews" and "Jew bastards." He has also used the term "white interlopers." No apologies ever came or were demanded by the so-called elite media from Sharpton.

Wearing a clerical collar is like nuclear energy. It can be a great benefit to mankind or a massive destructive force. A book could be written on these two "reverends" and their deceit using the black community to achieve personal gains. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing.
