Yes it does pay off. They have no interest in seeing racism stopped
(although they find it in places it doesn't exist). Those two guys are
poverty pimps, they have a vested interest in seeing the supposed racism
they cry about continue so their gravy train can keep rolling.

Jesse Jackson is another con man. Some "minister of the Lord" he is. He
got tossed out of one college for plagiarism and fathered a child from an
adulterous affair. What an example.

Yeah right, the president and vice-president are saints compared to the like
of big Al.

Ingenious! I wouldn't have thought such a simple question would
have attracted so many potential and dues paying Klan members so
quickly. I hope that's not all. Surely, this is part of a sting?

I thought this is a photography site. I'm shocked that so many people
are so interested in Al Sharpton. This site should offer some advice
and information about serious photography and discussion. Bashing
people because of their political view or race is deplorable. Why
can't we just deal with photography!

For once, a post I agree with.

I'm left handed. My left hand is stronger, more dexterous, etc. I
grew up shooting fully manual cameras. I always thought of them as
being left handed. The right hand pushed the shutter and wound the
film -- how hard is that? The left hand set the aperature and
focused. Focusing a manual camera on a moving targets takes some
coordination -- esp. while also holding up the camera. As one held
the weight of the camera on one's palm, the fingertips adjusted the
exposure (aperature), focus, and later the zoom. Meanwhile the right
hand did nothing but trip the shutter and wind the film -- nbd.

I always thought that cameras were one of the few things in life that
were truly left-handed.
