AL ‘BULL HORN’ SHARPTON SAYS, “AFRICA IS BEING IGNORED.”

It was during a recent segment of his MSNBC show, "PoliticsNation," that everyone’s favorite faux preacher, Al ‘Bull Horn’ Sharpton, complained to his viewing audience of a dozen or so folks about the fact that it took too long for the U.S. to make an issue out of the kidnapping of 200 Nigerian schoolgirls last month. Well, maybe old ‘Bull Horn’ should be asking his old buddy, Barry, about that. Because while this issue may have spent much time on the back burner being ignored by a lot of Al’s friends on the left, as well as those in the state-controlled media, those on the right have been talking it up practically since day one!

Old ‘Bull Horn" said, "The real issue is why it took weeks to even make this an issue, why Africa is ignored, when unless we get to a super crisis, it's not even dealt with. Rwanda was ignored until many of us just kept beating the drums and raising the voice level, and the same with Sudan." And then in what was an attempt, I guess, to claim some level of credit for it finally receiving the level of attention that it has, ‘Bull Horn’ went on to say, "If it wasn't for [civil rights activist and Sirius/XM radio talk show host] Joe Madison and others and I went, that wouldn't have become an issue, ignored."

As has been reported, Boko Haram, the terrorist group responsible for kidnapping the girls, released a video this past Monday showing the girls in Muslim garb, chanting a declaration to the Islamic faith. The fact is that for two years, Barry & Co. resisted calls to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist group, until doing so last November. And again the reason for the delay was because organizations on the left, such as MoveOn.org, were busy lobbying Barry & Co. to delay assigning such a moniker to what was so very obviously a terrorist group. So old ‘Bull Horn’ needs to be looking a little closer at those on is his home team.

‘Bull Horn’ said, "Africa is the most mineral rich continent in the world. Why do we ignore terrorism and genocide in Africa until we can't ignore it any longer? That's the other side of the broader question of this whole attack, and we've got to keep the world's attention on this until these girls are brought home. I don't care what the other side says. There shouldn't be another side." Now I’m not all that sure what ‘Bull Horn’ means when he mentions "the other side." Because, as I said, the stiffest resistance to calling this group a terrorist organization has come from ‘Bull Horn’s’ many friends on the left.

And as just a little side note here, who is it that remembers how South Africa and Rhodesia once had thriving economies? But then what happened? Control was handed over to the blacks. And have you ever noticed that whenever a country has black leadership, even here in America with our own black president, there seems to be only one possible direction for that country to then go? DOWN! Because what you ultimately end up with is a country that descends into chaos, be it economic, social, financial, or all three, you also have an increase in racial tension as well as rampant corruption in the government.
