Al Sharpton
We must become the United States of America that represents every community, that represents every individual. And we will ultimately become a stronger nation, but right now we are a divided nation.
Al Sharpton
This is not just an agreement for the police department, this is an agreement that gets the police department working with the community and the community understanding its role as it continues to work with the police department.
Al Sharpton
I think you don't support people based on one or two cases of situations. You deal with their balance over the long run.

Al Sharpton
I`m deeply concerned about Jeff Sessions, who has clearly expressed opposition to the use of consent decrees and has advanced a lot of this states` rights rhetoric.
Al Sharpton
If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicize a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey... then I should be praised for it, and it's more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.
Al Sharpton
But resist we much. We must and we will much about that be committed.
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
If O.J. had been accused of killing his black wife, you would not have seen the same passion stirred up.
Al Sharpton
There are white n*ggers. I've seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time.
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
I think everybody understood what happened, why this consent decree came about after the Freddie Gray situation. There was tension on both sides.
Al Sharpton
I think that you can't choose leadership. You have to deal with the leadership that the people respond to.

Al Sharpton
