Extortion

Answer 2

the blacks love them, for years both of them made a living holding down the black man and all the while saying it's the White's holding the black man down. If they both made it to the top from poverty. then any black man can, but if you ask either one of them they'll say it's impossible. because the white man wont let them, well how did they do it

Wow, they make money to  be obnoxious, racist, jerks? No wonder they haven't stopped.

Answer 5

By using God's name as their inspiration. They love and crave attention and know that saying, "It is God's will for us to do such and such." It's all a bunch of BS.

Answer 6

Mr Jackson and Mr Sharpton receive salaries from the organizations they run.  Those organizations receive donations from people and businesses that support their cause.

The question is if Obama is elected president do they loose influence?  Will they support him or fight him saying he is not doing enough for their cause?

Answer 7

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are real Black People, they are descendants of Slaves. Not like your Obamabi who want's to claim he's African-American when he's actually African.

Answer 8

I don't know about Al Sharpton, but Jesse Jackson made his money through extortion.  He would sign up black-owned businesses, such as investment advisory firms, which agreed to pay him or kick back a portion of proceeds from business deals.  Then Jesse Jackson would go around to pension funds and other money managers and demand that they give a portion of their advisory business to firms from his list.  Eventually, one firm balked, saying it looked like a violation of RICO statutes.  If Jackson were white, he would be in jail today.

Answer 9

They are civil right leaders, and activist. First read up on ones history before making judgements

Answer 10

Check out Jesse Lee Peterson's book, "SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America". It will explain everything. Or, you can search articles by Jesse Lee Peterson on your favorite search engine.

Basically, what they do is threaten people or companies with boycotts or news media coverage, then, the company often offers to pay them off, or donate to their cause.

For example, Jesse Jackson approached Toyota with the idea that they need more minority inclusion. Toyota was afraid if they didn't play along they would be labeled as racist, so they met with Jackson and worked out a deal, offering contracts to minorities and donating huge sums of money to Rainbow Coalition.

A bigger story might be the one where Jackson threaten a boycott on Anheuser Busch, who then offered his son an Anheuser Busch distributorship, which they happily accepted.

There are a lot of these stories online. Just do a search on it and you will find dozens.

Answer 11

They take money from poor blacks and then go on TV and say whatever the h**l they want to.  The more retarded and wrong the accusations, the more money they make.
