Sunday on MSNBCs PoliticsNation, host Al Sharpton said African-Americans diverse in age and gender are now increasingly taking up legal arms because They dont trust the Trump administration to protect them from the rise of white supremacists aggression that we have seen in the past year.

Sharpton said The story of legal gun ownership among black Americans is as combustible as it is complex. Some have contended that modern gun control begins not with school shootings but with the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Who in May of 1967 legally entered the California state house, brandishing shotguns and pistols to protest a bill proposed specifically to restrict their gun rights. The visual of legally armed black revolutionaries promised then-Governor Ronald Reagan to sign the bill into law forbidding public carrying of loaded firearms. That and other incidents of the era prompted lawmakers to pass the first national gun control legislation of the postwar era, launching the gun debate as we know it.

A debate that dogged the Obama administration where sales exploded under the right wings assumption that ownership would be restricted. But NBC News has found that its African-Americans that are now increasingly taking up legal arms in the Trump era, he continued. While the buyers are diverse in age and gender, the reasoning is singular. They dont trust the Trump administration to protect them from the rise of white supremacists aggression that we have seen in the past year.

Bill Cosby is reportedly stung that even Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are refusing to play the race card for him.

Cosby, who has been accused of sexual assault by nearly 60 women, has reportedly been charged with drugging and assaulting former Temple University athlete Andrea Constand, then 31, in his home in 2004. His legal team plans to play the race card when Cosbys trial is set to start on June 5. Cosby has denied all of the charges and reportedly faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.

A source from Cosbys camp told the New York Post over the weekend that, Jesse [Jackson] claims to have forgotten Bills number and Al Sharpton wont even return his phone calls.

Both of them were vocal in their support of Michael Jackson and the charges against Mike involved kids, the source reportedly added. So, is this really that toxic when you compare the two? Any other time theyd at least rally to say something about innocent until otherwise proven.

As the Associated Press noted, when the prosecution struck two black jurors during the jury selection process, Cosbys lawyers attacked what they claimed was the prosecutions systemic exclusion of African-Americans.

Two black jurors were ultimately selected for the 12-person jury and two more were among the six people chosen as alternates.

Cosby reportedly spoke to a black media outlet last month about the racist history of the United States and his daughters reportedly have claimed that the racist mainstream media have been lynching their father.

Loyola Law School professor Laurie Levenson told the Associated Press that Cosby may be signaling to jurors that you have a mission on this jury, to make sure hes not treated as a black man whos come on aggressively to white women.

She also pointed out that Cosby is not the average black defendant because he is the African-American celebrity who crossed the race divide. He had enormous appeal to white households.

James Braxton Peterson, the director of Africana Studies at Lehigh University, told the Associated Press that it isstriking and ironic that Cosby is playing the race card given that hes demonized poor black people in the past.

Reverend Al Sharpton thinks that in order to win elections, Democrats must stop trying to get the Archie Bunker vote and instead focus on maximizing the partys minority vote.

During a Friday afternoon MSNBC appearance, Sharpton railed against elected officials and consultants who want Democrats to try and become elephants with donkey skin on, emphasizing that it was pointless to appeal to Archie Bunker voters who support President Donald Trump. Sharpton insisted that these Archie Bunker voters will never cast their ballots for Democrats. He made his remarks a day after Republican Greg Gianforte won his special election for Montanas open House seat by six points even after he allegedly body-slammed a reporter the day before the election.

In a recent interview with BuzzFeed, Sharpton said Hillary Clintons biggest mistake in 2016 was that she did not mobilize in the black community.

You lost Michigan, by what, 15,000, 20,000 votes? You couldve got that if you mobilized two housing projects or three churches, he told the left-wing outlet. Never touched them. So in many ways I think that the whole question of, Oh we gotta reach out to the Appalachian and the blue collar workers and stop the identity politics well, thats one strategy. But what Im saying is that you never worked your own base. You took your base for granted, so its not that you need to go another way, you didnt identify with those in identity politics, thats why you had the lowest turnout you had around blacks in a long time.

Sharpton said though Clinton came to his National Action Network convention, her campaign never engaged us in the campaign.

And I think thats where they did the wrong math in the Clinton campaign. They assumed that well go get all of this because everybody will stay here: young voters, black voters, Latino voters, like Obama, and it didnt happen, he said.

As Democrats plot their electoral strategies for 2018 and 2020, the party is split between those who want to double down on identity politics and those who think Democratsneed to appeal more to working-class white voters.

Twenty-four years ago, Rev. Al Sharpton said something immensely sick about the police, and when rising star and political commentator Jesse Watters recently tried to confront the notorious race-baiter about his previously made statements, Sharptonof course started making excuses.

First he claimed that he never made the statement. Then he claimed that the Fox News correspondenthad simply misinterpreted him.

But unfortunately for Mr. Sharpton, there was no denying what happened.

Like Watters himself said to the mans rat-like face, Facts are facts.

The facts are that Sharpton said some very disturbing things 24 years ago while delivering a speech at Kean College.

I dont believe in marching!' he yelled while recounting the words said by one of his opponents. I believe in offing the pigs! Well they got pigs out here! You aint offed one of them!

What I believe in, I do, he added. Do what you believe in.

Now obviously, Sharpton was not saying that he wanted to off any pigs. He was making the point that his opponents who talk about offing the pigs should back their words up with action.

And Watters felt that Sharpton should apologize for having made this devious recommendation, but Sharpton,course, disagreed:

Would you like to apologize for that? Watters asked.

You dont have footage saying that, Sharpton first claimed. You had me where I said that a guy was talking about offing pigs, and I said, you aint gonna do nothing, and I mocked him.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. For a guy who claims to keep it real, Sharpton has about as many ties to reality as an insane asylum patient.

Nice try, Sharpton, but in a slightly modified version of your own words, Watters got you!
