Al Sharpton said Saturday that he believes the U.S. government has been pursuing black athletes more aggressively than white athletes in scandals over performance enhancing drugs.
In his weekly address to followers in Harlem, Sharpton compared the treatment of Barry Bonds to the treatment of Roger Clemens.
Sharpton said the members of Congress who were there for the hearing, "treated Roger Clemens like they were at a fan club meeting." He questioned why a steroids scandal had landed Bonds in trouble, but no white athlete of a similar standing.
Out of the mouth of Al Sharpton. He stirs up more troble each and every time he opens his mouth. It bothers me he is given so much credibility in the media. He is a rabble-rousing race baiter who only interest is himself and how any situation can benefit Al Sharpton.

Let's let facts get in the way of a good quote there Pharisee Sharpton. How many blacks have been named so far in the report or have been nailed/suspected for Steroids/HGH? These are the people I can think of off the top of my head...
Rafael Palmero: not black
Jason Giambi: not black
Rodger Clemens: not black
Andy Petite: not black
Mark McGuire: not black
Jose Canseco: not black
Sammy Sosa & Barry Bonds: black
6 vs. 2
Yea, they're out to get the black players all right...
Sheesh
The Vegas Art Guy: Everything is based on race, according to Sharpton. After all, if race was not injectced into every discussion, he would not have a job (if what he does for a living can be considered a job).
Well he has a lot to learn about what it means to have the title 'Reverend' before his name. Last I checked, Romans 12:18 didn't have any racial qualifications attached...
Since he does not act like a pastor, I titled him with the well deserved moniker of Pharisee... The one group Jesus had no respect for during his time here...
