Sharpton in Cinci
The Cincinnati boycott situation just got a little uglier over the weekend – Al Sharpton is involved. Who knows how much damage can be done but this article outlines the growing effect:
The civil-rights leaders’ visit came as the boycott got a boost Saturday when the Progressive National Baptist Convention announced it would not hold its 10,000-member session in Cincinnati this summer. The church’s decision to go elsewhere for its annual August event is a major victory for BUF and the Coalition, two of the groups who organized the boycott of downtown businesses and events because of perceived racial injustices. The loss of the weeklong convention, with more than 10,000 Baptists nationwide attending, will cost Cincinnati businesses millions of dollars.
Nice Sharpton in town grandstanding while millions of dollars go elsewhere – I am sure this will benefit poor black people.
