One might think that MSNBC might give Rev. Al Sharpton the day off when the hot topic is protesters burning down buildings. In 1995, Sharpton's protest against the "white interloper" who ran Freddy's Fashion Mart in Harlem led to a fire where seven people died of smoke inhalation (and the arsonist shot himself). Discussing the rioting in Minneapolis on today's Morning Joe, Al Sharpton began by telling protesters that the goal of a fair criminal justice system wouldn't be achieved by "appearing" to be criminal themselves. He warned that people would "exploit" that. A clearly upset Sharpton then said: "As I walked around Minneapolis yesterday . . .

But he implies that it alright to burn a white owned property.
What a piece of work he is.

I remember back in the Watts Riots that the rioters knew which businesses were black-owned and left them alone. They targeted white and Asian owned big time. I also remember rooftop business owners brandishing rifles to protect their buildings. Worked pout quite well for them.

For decades when Black criminals find a reason to riot, they always have destroyed the grocery stores and other convenient and critical businesses that serve their communities, the Rev. Al knows those facts well. Then after the “community” wakes up and finds that they no longer have any grocery stores or other critical businesses in their areas, it is the Rev. Al and other leftist and liberal Democrats who will be calling for the Federal Government to pay to rebuild those destroyed business and areas.

Do we know definitely who's doing the rioting ? Imported anarchists. Somali's. General citizens of Minnesocold ? I'm guessing ANTIFA and Ilhan Omar's constituents, and some triggered college students.
Protest is appropriate in this case, but not what we're seeing, imho.

Think about every racial stereotype that you can come up with and then realize that these rioters, arsonists and looters in all these cities are carving those stereotypes in granite. They are not helping their cause and people like Sharpton are urging them on in an effort to benefit from the violence.

Sharpton the race-baiter could not more clearly self-define just what he is, a white-hating jerk who thinks that the black rioters should only have destroyed white businesses. I can't believe MSNBC gives such a moron a microphone. Okay, yes I can.

Are there any white people on television these days?
I check in now and then but black bald and ugly continues to trend.
"As I walked around Minneapolis yesterday... some of the stores that are being damaged are black-owned stores! So we cannot become so reckless that we are destroying each other in our rage."
We must be selective in our rage.
Rage meaning free stuff and et cetera.
Blacks waste blacks with cuckoo clock regularity; don't hear much about that even though it happens every day.
Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit; they brag about it.
Go ahead; burn your house down.

Al didn't see the light. His comment was a 'dog whistle' to the rioters: confine your looting and arson to white owned stores.

Maybe Sharpton should be looking into who triggered them to gather and riot?
It was not by accident they all ended up in that location.
Someone likely sent a mass e-mail, or posted something somewhere that is viewed by people inclined to act as they're told.

Hoisted by his own petard Sharpton is. I find his selective outrage most amusing.

Dear Reverend Al Sharpton: God does not see color, why do you?
I was raised not to look at one's skin color, bank account, religion etc. Seems like everything I was raised not to do is now okay.

You tell 'em, Al! Stop taking it out on black-owned businesses!
Too bad there's no Freddie's Fashion Mart in Minneapolis for them to hit, instead... Right, Al?

Rumor has it that Bro Biden was behind that black mask and he and Pop Corn were trying to lug a 1200 inch TV out of Auto Zone. Didn't work because it was too big for Joe's basement and he couldn't hold up his end.
Sarcasm off.

Mr. INTERLOPER, the paradigm of racism, is Upset with Reckless Rioters?
The "rioters" are not "appearing" to be criminals, THEY ARE CRIMINALS and ARSONISTS.
Law abiding Americans need to DEMAND the system work for all Americans, equally, and
pursue same legally. Stealing sneakers, tools, and TVs, and committing arson, DISQUALIFIES those with real complaints regardless of their color.

What's the matter, Al? Your training gone awry? Criminal. Exploit. Did these words come out of James Brown's roadie Shakedown's mouth?
