You should know that on February 29, 2016, while I was flipping through television stations, I came across a story on “Fox News Insider” announcing that Reverend Al Sharpton has joined the list of celebrities who vow to flee the United States of America if Donald Trump wins the Presidency. This list already includes Rosie O’Donnell, Jon Stewart, Whoopie Goldberg, Cher, Samuel L Jackson, and Raven-Simone.News reports tell how Reverend Al Sharpton made his pronouncement on February 25, 2016 at an event held by the Center for American Progress Action Fund.
It is important for you to know some history before Reverend Al Sharpton became a national leader.
After Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.’s assassination, the Reverend Jesse Jackson took the forefront and became the face and voice for African Americans nationwide.Reverend Jesse Jackson created the PUSH Coalition in Chicago for the betterment of African American lives. Through boycotts and campaigns for employment and civil rights, he has effectively helped to improve the lives of African Americans.
In 1984 and 1988 Reverend Jesse Jackson ran as a Presidential Candidate for the Democrats. Through his tremendous efforts, Reverend Jesse Jackson opened the doors for many famous Black Americans to be elected into the United States Congress, various levels of government, and eventually, President of the United States.
Then there came Reverend Al Sharpton, who has pushed aside Reverend Jesse Jackson as a consultant. It is no longer Jesse Jackson, but Al Sharpton who is sought out by upcoming candidates and elected officials so they can meet with him and ask for his support and blessing.
It is also important for you to know that after Reverend Al Sharpton declared how if Donald Trump wins the Presidency, he will leave the county, Donald Trump’s son, Donald Trump, Jr., announced during an interview on Fox and Friends: “I’ll buy their airfare! I’m more than happy to chip in.”
To me, these threats to leave the Unites States remind me of Alec Baldwin’s promise to leave the United States if George W. Bush was elected as President. I have to wonder if Reverend Al Sharpton and his friends are sincere and honest to leave the country if Donald Trump wins, or if they are just like Alec Baldwin: All talk and no action.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid that if Reverend Al Sharpton really moves to another country, Jesse Jackson will not mind that at all.
I am Senator Reverend Rubén Díaz, and this is what you should know.
