Stefan Molyneux The Truth About Al Sharpton - Video
Rev. Al Sharpton will stay off the dance floor but keep to the airwaves.
The publicity-prone activist insisted Monday that he drew the line at appearing on Dancing with the Stars in order to bring attention to his causes.
You often hear people say, Oh, there they go again, Sharpton and them wanting publicity. Thats exactly what we want, he said Monday morning at the National Action Networks D.C. breakfast in honor of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Part of the role of activist is to get your attention. You dont see me on Dancing with the Stars.
You see us dealing with social issues and to draw the attention to those issues and if you dont do that, people are not going to deal with those issues in the dark. Our job is to put the lights on where they dont want to go. And once you do, youre going to get a reaction."
Julian Castro, Obamas Housing and Urban Development Secretary, was among the speakers at the morning event.
Sharpton praised the 40-year-old Democratic star as the next whatever hinting at rumors the Texan could be the partys pick for Vice President in 2016.
Sharpton kicked off the holiday with the Beltway breakfast before heading to New York for an afternoon forum with Mayor de Blasio and Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer.

Al Sharpton held a holiday breakfast for 300 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., where the goal was not so much to remember the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as to pull his teachings into the moment. What would he have done? Sharpton asked, as the crowd watched a video that combined some of Kings greatest speeches with recent footage of protests in Washington and Ferguson, Mo.
Two members of President Obamas Cabinet spoke about the importance of health care and low-income housing, but the crowds ovation was loudest when Sharpton showed a slideshow that included photos of Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner and Michael Brown all unarmed black men who were killed in confrontations. Martin was shot in Florida in 2012 by a member of a neighborhood watch. Garner died last summer after being placed in a chokehold by a police officer in Staten Island, and Brown was shot by a police officer in Ferguson in August.
We have to keep these issues in front until we resolve this, Sharpton said. We are in another pivotal moment, and we will be judged by how we respond now.
Sharpton finished his speech and rushed out a back entrance to leave for the airport. He still had two rallies planned for the afternoon in New York to highlight police violence followed by an evening prayer vigil with Garners family. The work is not done, he said.
