A lot of poor people don’t participate in the voting process, so that makes their problems less of a concern when it comes to elected officials. We had welfare reform back during the nineties, I am not sure how many people were help by it. If Dr west and Tavis are so concerned about poor people, why aren’t they in the streets leading protests as Dr King did, Dr West bring the Great Dr M L King a lot. I personally think its just all talk and no substance.

You are wasting your time talking to Rev. Sharpton. He is literally on the payroll of the White House and the corporate elite and has been “annointed” by the mainstream media as the Head Negro In Charge. Period. The hustle and flow is over and, as far as a lot of Black folks are concerned, the best thing a lot of us can do is circumvent Sharpton and the rest of these academics who are pretending that Black folks have no right to critique Black leaders or these ministers.

Obama kicked his own pastor of many years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, to the curb and now has embraced Sharpton? You do the intellectual math.
