The resolution correctly noted that Sharpton had:
♦ “referred to members of the Jewish faith as ‘bloodsucking [J]ews’, and ‘Jew bastards’”;
♦ “referred to members of the Jewish faith as ‘white interlopers’ and ‘diamond merchants’”;
♦ been “found guilty of defamation by a jury in a New York court arising from the false accusation that former Assistant District Attorney Steven Pagones, who is white, raped and assaulted a fifteen year-old black girl”;
♦ “refused to accept responsibility and expresse[d] no regret for defaming Mr. Pagones”;
♦ “incited widespread violence, riots, and the murder of five innocent people” during the Freddy’s Fashion Mart debacle in Harlem;
♦ “incited violence, riots, and murder” during the Crown Heights debacle in Brooklyn;
♦ once led a protest in which he’d marched “next to a protester with a sign that read, ‘The White Man is the Devil'”;
♦ “insulted members of the Jewish faith by challenging Jews to violence and stating to Jews to ‘pin down’ their yarmulkes”;
♦ and “made inflammatory remarks against whites by characterizing the death of Amadou Diallo as a ‘racially motivated police ‘assassination.'”
The accusations against Sharpton are readily accepted as the gospel in the real world.
