Mediaite reports: President Donald Trump went after Rev. Al Sharpton Monday morning in what cynics may see as a rather craven attempt to drive an ugly news narrative in which critics see the President driving a racist and/or racialized series of political attacks against people of color.

Outrage has been immediate and widespread as thousands of news stories condemning the cartoon have already been posted. Al Sharpton, never a fan of the …

“There is something immoral and sick about using all of that power to not end brutality and poverty, but to break into people’s bedrooms and claim that God sent you. It amazes me when I looked at California and saw churches that had nothing to say about police brutality, nothing to say when a young black boy was shot while …

By now you’ve no doubt heard about Duane “Dog” Chapman, star of A&E’s Dog, The Bounty Hunter, whose racist phone tirade about his son’s black girlfriend was leaked to the press.
