-'''Al Sharpton''' (born 1954) is a Christian [[minister]] and highly controversial African American [[Democrat]]ic politician based in [[New York City]] with a penchant for baiting conservatives and embarrassing liberals. Searching for opportunities to inflame racial tensions, he became a national celebrity in the 1980s. Indeed, he has even been called a 'racial arsonist', who has led to the deaths of innocent people.

-He currently hosts his own show on [[MSNBC]].
-==Career==
-Sharpton was licensed as a minister at the age of 9 as a [[Pentecostal]] and again as an adult as a [[Baptist]].  He has no formal religious training.  As Sharpon's notoriety has increased he has spread out, running for President as a [[Democrat]] in 2004.  Part of the joke of the late night talk show circuit was that Sharpton wanted his very first job to be [[President of the United States]]. Today he is a radio talk show host, guest TV speaker and [[liberal]] activist focused almost exclusively on racial issues.
-==Tawana Brawley hoax==
-In 1987, Sharpton spreads incendiary hate claiming Ms. Brawley, then a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. Sharpton got the defendants to refuse to cooperate with the police that could have led to quick indictments and justice and instead called for grand jury investigations.  The Tawana Brawley case was later determined to be a fraud, 7 months into a grand jury investigation and after a waste of taxpayer money and bitter racial strife.
-==Gavin Cato riots==
-In 1991, a Hasidic [[Jewish]] driver in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child. Anti-semetic riots emerged with Sharpton leading demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, "No justice, no peace." An angry mob surrounds rabbi student Yankel Rosenbaum yelling "Kill the Jews!". Rosenbaum was stabbed to death.
-==Freddy's Fashion Mart==
-In 1995, in a dispute regarding a Jewish landlord raising the price of rent, Sharpton once again incites racial hatred. "We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." Picketers are protesting the store spitting on customers.  On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy's, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno. <ref>[http://www.jewishworldreview.com/jeff/jacoby011703.asp The Sharpton hypocrisy] Jewish World Review, January 17, 2003</ref>
