That makes things clean & neat. Certainly makes reporting easier if you have one or two spokes-people that can speak for the entire group. The problem is, the Sharpton & Jackson no more speak for all black people than the KKK speaks for me as a white person....or as NOW speaks for me as a woman. The fault lies entirely with the media for giving him the forum when he doesn't have the following to back it up. They do the same thing with CAIR and to some extent LULAC & the other Latino group and with supposed gay group reps. It is unfair but unfortunately, the squeaky wheel gets the camera-time.

This is just par for the course for Sharpton. Just last month he shot off his big mouth about the unjust treatment of the black youths who raped and terrorized a young woman and her son.
