More quotes by Al Sharpton
They tried to say that being gay is a sin, and I said that adultery is a sin. Adultery is responsible for breaking up more marriages, but do we put that in the Constitution? It’s absurd.
Al Sharpton
So (if) some cracker come and tell you 'Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,' you better hold your pocket. That ain't nothing to be proud of. That means their forefathers was crooks.
Al Sharpton
The Democratic Party hasn't whipped anybody into a frenzy. The assumption is that the people that are marching and protesting and standing up against this don't have enough sense to stand up for their own interests.
Al Sharpton
We may switch presidents, but we`re just going to switch legs and keep on marching.
Al Sharpton
I think that you can't choose leadership. You have to deal with the leadership that the people respond to.
Al Sharpton
I just released an op-ed in the Washington Post that talks about providing an I.D. so that everyone can have an I.D., primarily, the social security card, a picture would be put on that card, and a president can certainly by executive order make this happen so that people will not need a special I.D. They`ll have one to vote.
Al Sharpton
If a cop sees a person running out of a store with a gun he's seeing a crime. He's not seeing a person standing.
Al Sharpton
You can't get a solution if you won't talk to the people that have the problem. You can't ever have healing if the patient is left out of the operation room.
Al Sharpton
James Brown lives, as long as someone steps out of their body and dances uncontrollably.
Al Sharpton
The unfortunate part is there`s not enough balance in the legislative chambers, and particularly the senate that has to do that confirmation for there to be enough pushback.
Al Sharpton
We're not willing to give black leaders second chances because, in most cases, we're not willing to give them first chances.
Al Sharpton
I very rarely read any fiction. I love biographies I read about all kinds of people. I love theology and some philosophy.

John Lewis is an icon in our society.
Al Sharpton
During my 2004 presidential campaign, I was fond of saying that it was high time for the Christian right to meet the right Christians.
Al Sharpton
John Lewis we all know was beaten terribly, almost to an inch of his life, opened doors that will never be closed, although there are forces that are attempting to close those doors.
Al Sharpton
People working at the arenas are not just depending on one or two concerts. I think it gives a symbolic boost, as well as those shows do bring down some monetary investments in the city.
Al Sharpton
America can't work for only some people and become a dream for all people. It has to work for everyone. And even though everyone might not end up at the same place, if everyone starts with the same beginning, then that's the dream fulfilled. We all don't have the same abilities, but we should have the same opportunities.
Al Sharpton
I've seen too much in life to give up.
Al Sharpton
Who defines terrorists? Today's terrorist is tomorrow's friend.

As I often say, we have come a long way from the days of slavery, but in 2014, discrimination and inequality still saturate our society in modern ways. Though racism may be less blatant now in many cases, its existence is undeniable.
