tax man
I just read with interest about Al Sharpton and his woes with the IRS. Over the years, his National Action Network’s income (corporate donations) has apparently increased faster than the expertise of his accountants. Mr. Sharpton seems to be the heir apparent of Jesse Jackson, taking up the causes of people of color who have had troubles with the way the government treats them in the legal system as well as corporations that need help to achieve diversity. In my opinion, that sounds like good works until you consider how wealthy this has made Jackson and Sharpton. That makes me see the legal system stuff as being used to get the cred for convincing the corporations that they need the “help” and making them willing to pay for it. It is insulting and erroneous that these “leaders” can represent all viewpoints of all people of color, but the real racism exists when so many people in the majority believe that they do.
