Thousands converged on the nation's capital Friday demanding long-lasting change to end systemic racism: with

The House has passed both bills, but Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell refuses to bring them up for a vote.

To address these disparities, King challenged the crowd to register to vote, join the fight for equality in their communities and peacefully protest. “If you’re looking for a savior, get up and find the mirror,” King said. Kentucky Rep. Charles Booker, the state’s youngest Black lawmaker who recently ran for the Senate, invoked Taylor’s name and called on America to"wake up" during his address.

“It’s worth the risk,” Fly said. “It is absolutely a historical event that hopefully won’t have to happen again.” Kendra Butler, 49, of Arlington, Texas, said she was in Washington visiting her cousin, Narvin Gray, and they decided to come to the march. Butler has two sons and said she’s here for them and their future.

What a bunch of hot air.

I think Rev Al should get a job and stop living off what he steals.

VoteRedToSaveAmerica DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Democrats are the party of hate 👇

Why is this shyster still around I support this movement but this man is a disgusting liar

He's gotten wealthy off the race card!

You need jobs to get good health insurance and to pay taxes to cover the police’s salaries. Get out of the System, take pride in yourself, and others will treat you the same.

Rev. Al is nothing but a con artist.

You phony ! Stop your preaching. You get free health care, free food , lower housing cost. Some day ( not in your lifetime) they will be pissed off because you ruined a good thing! MAGA!🙏

Pay your taxes

Made all his money trying to stir racial issues. Has robbed the black community. Shame on him. He is know Rev.

Corruption created by civil rights, mass murderer created by civil rights, Healthcare destroyed by civil rights, educational system destroyed by civil rights, our economy destroyed my civil rights and now the wrath of God this coming down on the blacks for molesting the world.

Why are none of these people complying to what the officer tells them to do?

Conman

Sharpton...so a complete shitshow...

I had to turn off the March. Sharpton is so filled w/hate. Does he really feel all white people are awful? Support helping to stop racism. But how can I learn more when his rhetoric makes me turn him off?Same on MSNBC. Don’t slam me, explain him. I can’t change my skin color.

When Sharon apologizes for Tawana Brawley, I’ll start to listen

Anything about the lethal amount of fentanyl in Floyd’s system?

it is not your skin colour, it is your moral standard

you have higher rate of law breaking and hurting citizens, don't u matter?

So nothing about covid issues Two face fucking news media

hypocrite

A bigot lecturing about bigotry

He's ha lf the problems, only thing he cares about is he's bank account and how much is in there. If you don't see this then your blind.

Want to loot others?

Are they social distancing?

HA!! Poor Al's gonna look a bigger fool when the drug test results come out on GEORGE FLOYD. He overdosed on FENTANYL. The Knee did NOTHING to him. He couldn't breathe while standing up. It's on body cam footage!! HA HA HA

He’s nothing more than a snake oil salesmen.

He organized a march to support crackheads and women beaters

Look out the conman, tax cheating racist TheRevAl is on the loose.

So when is Sharpton going to pay the millions in back taxes he owes and gets a pass on paying? That money would pay for a lot of bennies for the people he claims to speak for. Sharpton wouldn't miss a meal in order to actually help someone, I'm pretty sure.

Let me guess...not one case of covid will come from this but if you go to a trump rally or to sturgis bike rally or to the beach...covid everywhere!!!🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽

What for World ?

The race-profiteers who have done NOTHING for Black Americans.

Is sharpton talking about the unfairness of the Biden prison bill towards minorities.

He wants his money by sundown😏

Well honestly the worst spokesperson ever The victim talk is appalling. Sure do miss MLK talked unity. This bozo talks race baiting. We are all created equal & many of the stats he talks about are fake news. Perception is not reality. Most blacks and whites get along famously

Funny thing is...fentanyl killed him. Not the cop.

93% of black murders are committed by black people. But let's not talk about that. Let's instead worry about the cops, which is a fraction of 1% of black murders. Makes sense!

The same people who tell you that in person voting in dangerous

Scam artists

Are face masks or social distancing more important?

has he organized a rally in chicago for black on black murder! oh yea, that gets him no attention just like KingJames

How much will he skim for his participation?

The nationwide popularity of cellphones makes it possible to abolish police patrols. We can change the law to limit cops’ power of arrest to 9|11 phone call complaints The word “Phoenix” occurs in Nostradamus

The fbi information?

Blah blah blah

The same people yelling voting in person is too dangerous

MLK Jr’s protests where peaceful. He didn’t encourage looting, vandalism, arson and violence. His people did not protest in the middle of the night He didn’t represent neither Democrats or Republicans. He wasn’t promoting marxism, black supremacy or the Islam Nation.

Can't expect things 2 change if the don't come from within condemned hip-hop & rap culture that glorifyis thugs, the use of the N word, dropping of school. Stop telling kids they're acting white because they go 2 school or they speak proper English, black on black violence

Good thing the media told us COVID doesnt spread at protests

That's a wad that should have gone down the toilet

This victim syndrome has to is not the system that is the problem. It is the behaviour of the black people that has to change. I find BLM protesters to be ignorant and a black female i cringe with embarassment

Systematic racism doesn't exist.
