Al Sharpton on Sonys Amy Pascal: Im Gonna Give Her a Lotta Heck about the Hack (Watch)

*Al Sharpton isnt playing! Sony headAmy Pascalhas some explaining to do or as he said,Im gonna give her a lotta heck about the hack.

Either she needs to really see the error of Sonys ways when she meets up with Sharpton before the release of Annie or her job could be in jeopardy after the hack of revealing racist emails.

I was very offended by the emails that were hacked. She called me. I told her how I felt. She said she wanted to sit down in person., Sharpton said.

He added, Marc Morial of the Urban League, Cornell Brooks of NAACP and myself representing National Action Network will sit down with her.

He continued with, and well determine there if whether we are going to join in cause for her resignation or whether shes going to really serious deal with the fact that Hollywood really reflects a lot of what was said in that conversation.

Sharpton told TMZ there are no blacks with any realdecision-making power at Sony let alone muchdiversity at the top in Hollywood.

But right now Hollywoods like the Rocky Mountains.. the higher up it goes, the whiter it looks, he said.

Hes not buying into the whole Quvenzhane Wallis, a young black actress, taking on the role of Annie claiming theyre simply selling a product findingthe studio problematic when it comes to race.

Bow Wows Got Words For Rev. Al Sharpton and His Hair Grease

Bow Wows Got Words For Rev. Al Sharpton and His Hair Grease

Dec 16, 14 by Qwest7 24 Comments

*The Rev. Al Sharpton may have kept the plight of those protesting the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner in the public eye with this past weekends March on Washington, but rapper/actor/TV host Bow Wow was not moved.

The 106 & Park co-host voiced his opinion about Sharpton and his motivation for being amongst the protestors with the following post on his Facebook page:

Stationed outside the U. S. Capital, Sharpton stood next to the families affected by the loss of loved ones at the hands of police as he proclaimed the movement to bring wrongdoing by the police to light will not end anytime soon.

You thought youd sweep it under the rug. You thought thered be no limelight. We are going to keep the light on Michael Brown, on Eric Garner, on Tamir Rice, on all of these victims because the only way Im sorry, I come out of the hood the only way you can make roaches run, you got to cut the light on, Sharton said.

Bow Wows post apparently struck a nerve with a few folks. Some who saw it agreed with what he wrote, while others wondered exactly what he was doing for the cause. The post is the latest shot fired by the entertainer, who criticized Sharptons presence in Ferguson in August after Browns death. According to Bow Wow, the MSNBC host has a habit of always being where the TV cameras are.

Bow Wow isnt the only one coming down on Sharptons knack for attracting public attention to him. The activist caught a thumbs down from the aunt of Akai Gurley, the young man who got shot in a dark stairwell last month by a rookie cop in Brooklyn. In her eyes, Sharpton was guilty of doing too much as the family prepared to bury Akai. So much so that she told the New York Post that Sharpton tried to deliver the eulogy without talking to the family about it first.

So does Bow Wowreally have a point with what hes saying about Sharpton or is it a question of what has Bow Wow done for the cause?

Real estate titan Donald Trump said Monday that Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal should quit her job because of the 'stupidity' involved with asking Rev. Al Sharpton for advice.

Pascal has been caught up in a maelstrom of outrage since her emails were leaked online following a computer hacking spree. Some of those messages were racially insensitive, and Pascal sought out Sharpton to help insulate her from criticism.

'The [co-chair] of Sony, Amy Pascal, when she goes out and says "I'm going to seek the advice of Rev. Al Sharpton," who I know very well, she should probably resign for stupidity reasons,' Trump said.

'Al Sharpton will toy with her, use her and then dispose of her.'
