You should know that on February
29, 2016, while I was flipping through television stations, I came across
a story on “Fox News Insider” announcing that Reverend Al Sharpton has
joined the list of celebrities who vow to flee the United States of America
if Donald Trump wins the Presidency. This list already includes Rosie
O’Donnell, Jon Stewart, Whoopie Goldberg, Cher, Samuel L Jackson, and
Raven-Simone.
News reports tell how Reverend Al
Sharpton made his pronouncement on February 25, 2016 at an event
held by the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
It is important for you to know
some history before Reverend Al Sharpton became a national leader.
After Reverend Martin Luther King,
Jr.’s assassination, the Reverend Jesse Jackson took the forefront and
became the face and voice for African Americans nationwide.
Reverend Jesse Jackson created the
PUSH Coalition in Chicago for the betterment of African American lives.
Through boycotts and campaigns for employment and civil rights, he has
effectively helped to improve the lives of African Americans.
In 1984 and 1988 Reverend Jesse
Jackson ran as a Presidential Candidate for the Democrats. Through his
tremendous efforts, Reverend Jesse Jackson opened the doors for many famous
Black Americans to be elected into the United States Congress, various
levels of government, and eventually, President of the United States.
Then there came Reverend Al Sharpton,
who has pushed aside Reverend Jesse Jackson as a consultant. It is no longer
Jesse Jackson, but Al Sharpton who is sought out by upcoming candidates
and elected officials so they can meet with him and ask for his support
and blessing.
It is also important for you to
know that after Reverend Al Sharpton declared how if Donald Trump wins
the Presidency, he will leave the county, Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump,
Jr., announced during an interview on Fox and Friends: “I’ll buy their
airfare! I’m more than happy to chip in.”
To me, these threats to leave the
Unites States remind me of Alec Baldwin’s promise to leave the United
States if George W. Bush was elected as President. I have to wonder if
Reverend Al Sharpton and his friends are sincere and honest to leave the
country if Donald Trump wins, or if they are just like Alec Baldwin: All
talk and no action.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am
afraid that if Reverend Al Sharpton really moves to another country, Jesse
Jackson will not mind that at all.
I am Senator Reverend Rubén Díaz,
and this is what you should know.
