And from the positive to the negative: The pot and kettle metaphor is familiar to all. City Councilman Charles Barron is criticizing Al Sharpton for being too cozy with Mayor Bill deBlasio and supporting police commissioner Bill Bratton. He said Sharpton was exploiting his reputation as an anti-cop activist for personal publicity and “Families call me up all the time. Families need help. They don’t want all this politics. They don’t want people pimping them for attention.” He's not alone in his criticism. Nicholas Heyward Sr. of Parents Against Police Brutality said: “It is a very bad thing for him to be that close to the mayor. Sharpton is doing nothing for the black community. He’s been putting on a show for a long time. He is right now where he wants to get: rubbing elbows with the rich and famous." I despise both Barron and Sharpton. Barron, at least, does not seem to be a phony. Sharpton seems the epitome of one.
My thanks to Kinesha, who bought four books, Janet, who bought two, and the Russian woman who purchased a thriller in her own language.
