This is an Al Sharpton quote that is going to bite him, Sharpton, in
the butt and this is a good thing: http://tinyurl.com/65vp46p
The Rev. Al Sharpton, a close Obama ally who has sparred with West
over the president, said Tuesday that the issue comes down to a
misunderstanding of Obama’s role for some in the black activist
community. “This is the first time in this country that we have an
African American president. He is not the president of African
Americans,” Sharpton said. “The problem we’re seeing with too many
older-minded people is you don’t want the next generation. You want
clones. And people don’t have to be your clone to validate your
sacrifice.”
Yep, this is going to bite him, GOOD.

FWIW, Sharpton's observation is correct. But it's not like a lot of Af-Ams take their cues from him, one way or the other. He's not likely to face much outrage.
