Al Sharpton Tore Down The House!
Posted by Media Outrage on July 8, 2009
Rev. Al Sharpton delivered one of the most heart-felt speeches we’ve ever heard during MJ’s memorial service. Sharpton reminded us of Michael’s humanitarian efforts. Sharpton reminded us of the countless barriers that Michael erradicated. Sharpton reminded us of the way Michael united an entire globe. Sharpton reminded us of how special Michael was. Sharpton thanked Michael and his family for the gift they gave the world. But most of all Sharpton addressed his children by saying “Wasn’t nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with….”
Al Sharpton did the damn thing. We were extremely proud of him. His words were so appropriate. Peep the video when you

Much respect to Al Sharpton for keeping it so real. This was one of the best speeches I have ever heard. He showed Mike mad respect and gave him the honor due.

no i’m not really computer savvy. just like the site and reading the news. he’s a pervert. nothing like i am. been happily married and faithful for more than 30 some years.

IMO, out of all the things I have heard coming out of Al Sharpton’s mouth, this statement….”Wasn’t nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with”…was the most “on point” and “for real” statement I have ever heard coming from him.
I have to give the man many kudos for that one. He hit the nail on the head.

call it a woman’s intuition, but i feel like you are MM, just under a different name. Maybe u can post pick to prove wrong?

Yes he did!
But when I think about it now and not to take anything from the Rev. or anybody else, I wish we’d been able to do this while he was here.
With everything that is going on from the tributes to the memorial, all I can think about is that Give Me My Flowers song.
Mike should have gotten his flowers a long time ago.
