Al Sharpton: White Supremacy On Its 'Last Breath' After Royal Wedding

[oberliner]

Al Sharpton—Baptist minister and civil rights activist—shared a message of hope in light of the recent British royal wedding at his weekly National Action Network rally Saturday in Harlem, New York.

Praising Bishop Michael Curry’s sermon, he said the wedding signalled the “last breath” of male white supremacy in a speech broadcast live on Facebook.

"When you got little white girls in Wales saying, 'I want to be like Meghan,' there's a shift worldwide that white male supremacy is on its last breath," the civil rights activist said. When small white girls aspire to the beauty and intelligence of Michelle, Sasha and Malia Obama, he added, “That's where that white supremacy is questioned.”

U.S. actress Meghan Markle—famous for her work on television show Suits—married the U.K’s Prince Harry Saturday. Markle is biracial, with a black mother and a white father.

1. Never underestimate the stupidity of racist bigots.

I would say white supremist have taken a real hit.

2. Maybe Kamala Harris should run for president.

That would be perfect. She would break the gender barrier and continue the success of people of color holding the highest office in the land. It would go a long way to cleaning up the stench the present occupant is now emitting.

4. Agreed

She absolutely should.

3. Hope he tells Theresa May

in relation to the Windrush folks from the former British Caribbean territories - you know the ones they've been deporting and treating like shit.

5. That is a good point

Not sure how on top of those issues Sharpton is.
