Al Sharpton & Freddy's Fashion Mart Fire

[torresdD]

Freddy's Fashion Mart


In 1995,
Sharpton led a protest in
Harlem against the plans of
Freddy's Fashion Mart,

a Jewish-owned clothing store,
to expand into a black neighborhood,
displacing a black retailer.

Sharpton told the protesters,
"We will not stand by and
allow them to move this
brother so that some
white interloper can
expand his business."

Three months later,
an armed protester forcibly
entered the store and burned
it down, killing himself and
seven others.

Sharpton distanced himself from the crime,
claiming the perpetrator was an open critic
of the civil rights leader and his nonviolent
tactics.

Nonetheless,
Sharpton later expressed
regret for making the
racial reference, "white interloper,"
though he denied responsibility for
inflaming or provoking the violence.

Al Sharpton is not a man of substance; he is a man of rhetoric and a
demagogue. Wherever there is a shit stirring "controversy" or a fart
in the air one will find Al Sharpton. Don't forget about Tiwana
Brawley.

At least he didn't say that the Jewish man was a nappy headed ho.
