How ironic in hindsight with Bill Cosby being on this documentary. If that's not the pot calling the kettle black.
+Matt Barringer not really. Cosby hansnt been found GUILTY of rape. You killed JFK. Just because I accused you, doesnt make it so.
Considering he has sworn testimony of giving girls drugs in order to have sex with them, well, might was well call it the magic bullet here huh bucko.
Yo whatchu meeean da ketta B blaq? Das raiciss!!
It was delicious seeing him on the video but what he said was icing on the cake.
Matt Barringer definitely thought that too
"I was not going to ask a 15 year old what happened" so he literally admits fully, 100% going on hearsay...
Pamela Morris great comment- well said
@Pamela Morris May I have a source?
@@borla08 Did you not watch the video? That's the source... 3 attorneys lost their licences and Sharpton was charged with fraud after this. Everyone knows this case was a hoax. 🤦♂️
@Pamela Morris Wasn't aware of this info. Was aware that Sharpton /Jesse Jackson were friends/associates of Pres. Trump. Strange that these two beacons of black empowerment were rubbing shoulders with future racist President(sarcasm included). Politics make for strange bedfellows.
I mean that was how the Tulsa Race Massacre started.
Lol Bill Cosby talkin about how wrong rape is 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
And also how are you gonna have an article "Blacks seek a special DA" come on 80's lol
+Mrcarter44 yeah. That sucked
+Mrcarter44 LOL I find it VERY ironic.
lol
Mrcarter44 shhhhhhu
I love how Al Sharpton and the rest of them now are backpedaling trying to say that they had nothing to do with it
Oh yeah. Like when he said he didn't make any accusations. Simply amazing.
Lol, yea, "I mean that's all Tawanna....."
Politicians are going to politic.
God Bless that Mackinnon guy.
I like how Al is incapable of just saying I was wrong.
I HATE how he's incapable of just saying he was wrong
joseph gabello he wasn’t wrong... I think that’s important to understand; he believed this child, he had no reason not to, so the idea of wrong is different when what you did you believed was right... that child lied, she comes across like a liar in my opinion but they didn’t see that...she was just off grounding and was late coming home again so instead of face trouble she made herself a victim and in my opinion only a very manipulative sick child could go to that length to get out of trouble, she was obviously very fearful of her stepfather and her mother wasn’t her advocate in life so she felt she had no choice? I don’t know what she thought, I think back to being a teen coming home after curfew.. the worse I ever lied was maybe “my friend had car trouble” but I also wasn’t a child who feared for my safety... now I agree with you that it is concerning when all these years later hes saying “something happened” that does show that he can’t own the truth I can’t say what he thinks now but I think at the time he believed that child because who would think a child would go to that extent to get out of trouble?!
He was/is wrong. And he’s also wrong to *ignore* all the black on black crime and all the black on white crime. It’s a narrative ... don’t be lazy ... research it.
And thats why history has repeated itself. He defended Jussie, and has nothing to say now that we know he lied. He can't pick a winner
joseph gabello hahaha The art of the lie! Lie to the death!
Boy Al Sharpton left half of his body weight in the 1990s.
I'm dead with that comment,yet feeling guilty because he is a legend.
J kasaya 😂😂😂😂
I was lookin for this comment 😭😭
I’m done 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol 😂😂😂
Al Sharpton should be SHAMED that he will NOT admit when he’s wrong! He’s the poster man for a true narcissist 🤦🏾♀️!
He admitted it at 6:59
Feeding fries to the low IQ
Al Sharpton is a racist
So, he's Trump, but black
Spike Lee too! In his movie _Do the Right Thing_ , there was graffiti that said "Tawanna told the truth".
Jessie Smollett has a shrine dedicated to Tawana in his home.
Juicy
Lol
🤣🤣prolly🤔
Go Jusseiy
Well Tawana's case really does seem like the Jessie Smollett case on steroids doesn't it.
They solved that faster than the Central Park 5 and Emmit Till case.
yeah and we all know why
And sadly If the race was switched around and she was white like the Central Park jogger case things would’ve been completely different
yeah, was thinking the same thing
@@TayTatum we definitely know why
@@mariahalex8355 exactly!
So I'm going to take a wild guess UA-cam recommended this video because I've been watching a lot of this Jussie Smollett Hoax mess.
Kizzy Wizzy absolutely 😂😂😂😂
I'm surprised you tube didn't take this one down.
Exactly right.
I'm in the same boat.
same
Sharpton's refusal to accept real responsibility, apologize, and acknowledge that he was wrong is pretty frustrating.
That’s been his MO for decades
Typical jive
HE MADE A KILLING ON PEOPLE GIVING CASH TOWARDS HER DERFENSE. What a joke. NOBODY HAs a number except GOOD OL AL.
black thangs
Wowwwww....look how so many lives were ruined because of her lie. Years later, I saw an interview with her where she's still maintaining this lie.
What if shes telling the truth
@@ba1765 she's not. If you go back and look at all the proof they had that she was guilty of committing these acts against herself you'll see for yourself.
@@novalove4790 what is that proof? This video doesn’t explain much
@Vannessa Rangel If you don’t want to believe evidence no one can force to do otherwise, but that doesn’t make you right.
Just like Carolyn Bryant and Emmett Till. DEATH & Ruined Lives Behind Lies Told….🤔🤔🤔
Bill Cosby's comments on this case have a whole new meaning now.
Ha..
Ain't it though?!
Bill Cosby became critical about black people after his son was killed in 1997.
Marks Spencer LOL its not just him but black people are critical about black people
@@kierah6087 True Kiera but public figures ( I hate using the word celebrity) have the biggest impact on the community about what they say and what Bill Cosby said in the past about the black community consistently really placed all black people in a negative light. Sure the black community has their problems just like all other cultures.
So, nothing about Carolyn Bryant's lie that got Emittt Till murdered in 1955 , huh?
Thank you...
Facts plus let’s not forget Susan Smith and the Scottsboro boys.
michael preston Never has a White Man been wrongfully accused? Come on! Get over yourselves! You, personally, were never slaves & never will be. You don’t like America? Go somewhere else & see if you’re treated better than you are here! Stop trying to be the Victim & start Managing your own lives! Then realize that most states that have the worst Poverty in America are the ones run by Democrats. Why can’t you see that?
karend99143 this is about the history of jurisprudence in America. This isn’t about one individual case. Did you know it was illegal for a black person to even testify against a white person? Yes in the 80s a Boston man falsely accused a black man of killing his pregnant white wife. It’s okay to be mad at Tawana Brawley but are you angry about the majority of miscarriages of justice against black people in general? That’s the question. Btw my dad was alive during Jim Crow so I’m actually the first generation of black people in America that have my full citizenship civil right. In the context of history slavery and Jim Crow for that matter was NOT that long ago. Why can’t black people talk about their history as it pertains to American history. When the confederate flag is constantly flown it’s okay but black people cant talk about slavery. BTW Mississippi is a red state run by republicans yet it’s the poorest state in the union. Gtfoh.
@@karend99143 naw, it don't matter if we don't like America or not.
How about this? If you got a problem with people of color speaking facts then how about you Leave!
Remember you're not indigenous to any land!!!
White women have been lying since slavery times.
FOH!
This country didn't learn anything from Tawana Brawley.
Taught not to trust these professional victims
We learned from it, THEY didn't.
Ben Hull Specifically, the Left leaning MEDIA didn’t learn anything! Lamestream media jumped on Jussie’s case even much faster than a New York minute! It fit their agenda just perfectly! And the Democrats had a hey day with it! I REALLY HATE MORONIC PEOPLE!! 😡
We wont learn anything from smollett either
This country??
I think you mean a specific set of people...
Al Sharpton: "We want a special prosecutor".
Also Al Sharpton: "We don't trust the special prosecutor"
Gee, nothing suspicious about that...
Its disgusting that they solved this case so quickly but it took years to solve the Central Park 5 case
They're fine as long as black people are the perpetrators. Once a black person is the victim, something just "isn't right". Granted, it wasn't right in this case, but still.
No, the Central Park 5 case was solved quickly. The 5 perps did it.
CorvetteKid no they didn’t there’s ZERO evidence
The Central Park 5 had the whole police station, it was covered up a whole lot better.
Tania Santos Central Park 5 was a hoax.
It's like Christopher Hitchens said, put 'reverend' in front of your name and you can get away with anything.

This is embarrassing, for victims of sexually assault who are really hurt and need help but you got these ppl, ppl please if you don't want it done to you don't do it to someone else
Jussie Smollett didn't learn that lesson.
Don't do what?
@@rosaiglarsh9987 lie

+Rex Richardson You'd buy a car from that man?
Travis Bickle LOL, I don't think I would.
Rex Richardson lmaooo
Rex Richardson Lol
Strange, use of commas, there.
I watched the live interview where it was disclosed as a false story and I remember Rev. Sharpton saying that it did not matter that it did not happen because it could have happened. I was very disappointed and thought that he had probably hurt the advancement of his people more than he knew. When lies can be accepted as truth, then no story has any reason to exist. And the people who tell them have no reason to be believed.
Jussie Smollett supporters say the same thing about his fake hate crime.
If that's so, how about the lady that accused Emmitt Till of whistling at her, to comeback decades later and say she made it up and the poor child was beaten to death.
@@aarondigby5054 ..Yes totally agree with you.
@@aarondigby5054 That lady never said she made it up...... Why must you lie?
It was a RACIAL THING. If you remember it was 3 white guys, maybe they were cops ? they were investigating ? WHAT A SCAM. When they found out ,Sharpton and JESSE Jackson hid for over a year, Couldn't get a question in. They had a ENTOURAGE OF SECURITY EVERYWHERE THEY EENT ! They should still be hiding.
I remembered this case when I was living in Brooklyn. The reason it wasn't nation wide was because even most black ppl in NYC had a feeling she was lying and it was solved so quickly!
I heard tawana told the truth and this was a cover up to protect the white cops
@@cornellynch730 of course you did
I remember how Al Sharpton said in the early 90's he thinks she made it up.
Was it confirmed she was lying or it was just a suspicion?
@@josesosa3337 it is literally explained in the video Jose
Maybe this is where Jussie Smollet got the idea.
STOP 😂
Just when things calm down here comes Al Sharpton to stoke the ashes up. Very dispickable(🧐🤬)
MissTiny Stockton& CaseyJohn 😂
You Mean Juicy Smollye' 🤣
I think Smollett got the idea from the lie "hands up don't shoot" seeing the damage that can be done if a lot of people believe your lie and he was trying to stir up hate on Trump and his supporters...that's why he made up being attacked by Trump supporters sayin "this is MAGA country"
The basic fact: She lied. That's it in a nutshell. Bill Cosby has nothing to with this.
These devils
Alao bill cosby offender alert
You missed the point!
Tawana Brawley didn't lie
@@roycurtis5669 uh wtf?
I REMEMBERED A LAWYER WHO WAS FALSELY ACCUSED BY BRAWLEY WHO ENDED UP SUING HER FOR HER LIES.

@@liamn.watson4867 ...yes, Asst. DA.
It baffles me how anyone can still believe OJ was innocent.
oyinbo pepe That's not true and you know it. His race and that of the jurors may very well have played part in his walking free, but to claim that "black women celebrate when a white woman is killed" is not only race baiting, it is also baseless and idiotic.
oyinbo pepe "everybody knows"
speak for yourself. Also, my guess is they probably let him off because he was a black celebrity, not because they hated the victim.
May he rot in peace.
United States of Embarrassment the jury did hes free end of story
We still need to find the real killer!
I always hated Al Sharpton and this is another reason why
You knew when her body was found behind her old apartment that something didn't sound right. That would have been a weird coincidence for the cop to just dump her at that location.
If those men had done that and racist enough to carve kkk she would've been dead there wouldn't have been story to tell
That's where she was hiding. Tawana would wait until everybody left the house then go home to do whatever. Then she left before everybody got back home. A neighbor testified to seeing her. The neighbor also witnessed Tawana smearing feces on herself and placing herself in a large plastic garbage bag
Why would that be weird?
@@indigostarseed7603 you are absolutely right about that
And her neighbor SAW her crawling into the bag.
“I didn’t say it, but if I did...”
Yeah. Totally credible.
"I spent my life fighting for social justice....as long as I could make money off of it."
drdeath223:
That is what Sharpton is all about - MONEY.
Every year, on average in the U.S., about 7,000 young black men are killed by other young black men.
Where are the race hustlers like Sharpton on this issue?
Where is BLM and the MSM on this pitiful fact about blacks in the inner cities?
Answer: No money to be made nor is it politically expedient.
You hit the Nail on the head!
@@MOTORCYCLES-ANDGUNS What about white lives?
This is one of the most disgusting incidents in the "career" of Al Sharpton! Even when he knew the girl was lying, he latched onto the story as a way to further his political ambitions. That is *not* the way to draw attention to the very real problems of racism, rape and police abuse of power. It only hurts the cause.
Stock Market Guru
What cave have YOU been hiding in?? Those *MAJOR PROBLEMS* you've mentioned are *NOT* rare!
Happens everyday!
Do you have a citation on that?
Some people don’t know how to say I lied or maybe I took it too far. But karma does handle those kind of people right here on this green earth!!!Such pure evil to lie, where you can break homes or cause grief. Who does that and lives with themselves!!!! I would be tossing and turning and turn myself in screaming I LIED!!! 😰 I don’t know how people can lie in the clear face of the truth!!
He's been doing the exact same thing since!!!
I knew a woman who was on a jury in 1998 for a sexual assault case and she was absolutely sure the accuser was "pulling a Tawana Brawley" and ended up swaying the rest of the jury for a not guilty vote. So... that is a thing that happened.
Perhaps the accuser did lie. This sort of thing really happens you know.
must not have been any compelling evidence to suggest otherwise. Either that or your friend is super manipulative and a horrible person.
Lies.
@@ThailandDantotherescue which means you think Tawana is too
Blame it on Tawana she messed it up for alot of the real victims out there
When Tawana Brawley refused to work with the special prosecutor after they demanded one to be appointed, that pretty much proved to everyone that this was a buII$hlt case from the start. Brawley to this day sticks to her story and will take that disgusting lie to her grave. I also believe that Jessie Smollett will do the same.
Both are racists and the fact Brawley works as a nurse is both frightening and sick.
the problem here is not race, its about corrupt manipulative people in power.
Kevin Miedema IT IS ABOUT RACE
Kevin Miedema who are racist the
Tawana Brawley made it all about race, and Al Sharpton and his two corrupt cronies used it to make themselves look like crusaders. Does anyone know what Brawley changed her name to?
Terrence Anderson: 😂😂😂😂 Thanks for the chuckle. Anyone who believes that America was founded on "FREEDOM" when our nation largely supported enslaving black people got to be a bit touched as they say.
almost everyone thought slavery was perfectly normal back then it took a long as time for people to start changing their minds. ... and I don't think 'freedom' was the core value, but it was a big one, and ironically at first that included the freedom to have the opinion blacks are not actually people and slavery is okay too - that wasn't such a crazy mindset back then after all.
This is why I knew Jussie Smollett was lying from the jump. When so many things dont add up always be skeptical no matter what
Yes, jussie Smollett might have lied I'm not 100% sure, but I'm not going to polarize it or degrade him amongst other people. He is still a brotha. Polarize all the lies that you've learned in history class. We don't have any problem being opinionated when it comes to one another .

They believe all the lies.
Brodie Keown she has an extremely large fine to pay to the state that after 20 years, she’s not even paid 5% of. Don’t take one false incident from 20 years ago and undermine the racism and sexism that is present here.
I thought that award went to Susan Smith?
Harmony Ivette Who?
That Sharpton ever showed his face in public after this debacle is amazing. But there he is on CNN as some sort of expert.
Robert Wood PA It's CNN A CRAP SHOW WHAT DID U EXPECT
Not only was he invilved in this but he directly participated and incited blacks in the race riot in Crown Heights in the early 90's which were started after a car accident.
That's right. After a car ACCIDENT.
Sharpton chanted anti semitic tropes and led a march agaisnt the Jews of CH while his "people" "vented their rage".
He never apologized for his actions in those riots.
Glad you watch CNN. We appreciate your viewership.

Sharpton wants credit for being a social justice warrior. Yeah, right. His motivation has never been social justice. It has only ever been personal glory and profit and he makes me want to puke.

Wild!!!!
I served on the jury that found that an assistant DA in Dutchess county was defamed by Mason, Maddox and Sharpton. We actually based charges on comments they made well after the NY Times exposed this is "most likely" a hoax. We gave the benefit of doubt that their motives were pure up to the point where it became clear that the Assistant DA could not have been involved. We also hit the two lawyers harder because they ought to have known better while Sharpton was just a spokesperson. We caught flack from both sides-The NY Post called us "pinheads" which was a little hurtful because it was 6 people trying to "cut the baby in half" and no one was 100% pleased with the numbers we came up with.
Mount, you shouldn't have cut the baby in half....you needed to send a message to The Three Stooges (Sharpton, Mason, and Maddox) that smearing and lying doesn't pay. You needed to award Pagones 50x the amounts at least -- and I say that as someone who usually looks with disdain on "Lottery Lawsuit" awards.
You realize that the locals and the Dutchess County Sheriff's Dept. exposed this as a hoax within 2 weeks, right ? That was 10 months before The NY Times gave us their opinion. And you have to realize that Sharpton was not just a "spokesman" for the trio and family...he was the #1 racial rabble-rouser to the black community. Their motives were NEVER "pure" -- they knew it was a hoax from Day 1 and that explains why they acted the way they did. They could never have Glenda or Tawana Brawley face the media or the Grand Jury or AG Bob Abrams: they would have indicted the 3 clowns as guilty in framing 3 innocent white men.
You were dead WRONG to give them "the benefit of the doubt" -- they knew from Day 1 the girl was lying. That's why they paid the Brawley Family $400,000 to go along with The Hoax. It's why they wouldn't let Tawana or Glenda testify -- they would have either committed perjury OR indicted Sharpton & Co. as liars and exposed them as racist frauds.
I don't know if you were "pinheads" -- you clearly saw the defamation and slander but didn't sent enough of an award to really punish the bigots. Reading what you wrote above, I don't think you had a clear command of the early facts of the case which proved to all that it was a hoax with Glenda and Tawana trying to fool her abusive, drug addict, drunk BF Ralph King.
Sharpton & Co. had nothing to do with that, true...but they then continued the lie and hoax when Glenda and Tawana got nailed by a neighbor and the cops (nobody was supposed to see Tawana covered in dog poop except Ralph King). They lied...they paid the Brawleys to say nothing and go along with The Hoax.....they engaged in obstruction of justice, mail fraud, and bank fraud among other crimes....this was all lost by the media and it seems based on what you wrote, even the jurors in the cases (Grand Jury, Defamation suit).,
Thanks for your service, I know you did your best, I just wish the media had done a better job of informing you of the facts as you might have issued a much stronger decision to punish Sharpton & Co. for their lies, slander, and bigotry.
Rev Sharp-tongue never misses an opportunity to crawl out from under his rock.
As much as I would avoid the NY Times for current news, I actually like these retro reports. They're done very well, and are quite fair.

Gon Don related lol
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Tawana went much further than Jussie. She accused real people.
GizmoMaltese the Osundairo brothers are real people
yes
Tawana has already admitted that it was all a lie. Sharpton will never admit he was wrong.
I've always felt there was something off about Sharpton.
His behaviour is odd... it feels in-genuine and erratic.
Definitely something off
They write about the snake in the Garden in the bible, and Al Sharpton defines that snake perfectly. he's a joke.
No one has seriously heard of Tawana Brawley before Jussie? LOL
@Halo Soprano yes it was
Most are too young
This story was huge...I recall and I was like 10yrs old!
This was a big deal case back in the day
No thats crazy
It's tragic how much damage Sharpton has done to set back race relations. The man has no shame and no responsible media outlet should ever give him platform...but yet they do.
And he has the luck to live to 110 years old.
I'm surprised they didn't say Santa Clause was involved too.
Carol Napolitano getaway ride. No tire tracks.
“Santa” is just an anagram for “Satan”.
Tawana enrolled at Howard university -the same yr i was a freshman. She lived in the girls freshman dorm but we were not friends.
I was there as well.
Last I heard about her it was said she moved to VA near my area but I dont know how true that is.
It says she's a nurse in va in the video
Yeah I heard that in the video but I was trying to explain that the area is where I live.
No one cares
I never heard of this case. Happened before I was born, and I guess people kept hush about it because of the controversial nature on all sides.
Disturbing, strange, and sad all around.
Anna I'm in my late 30s and black. I was a kid when this happened and never heard about it until today. Now when accusations come up, I can say candidly....don't be a Tawana Brawler
I was barely 5 years old when this happened and was too young to understand what was going on but I lived in NYC and I remember it being it being all over the news for quite a long time. Being so young I didn't pay attention but as soon as I saw Tawanas name I remembered. Interesting to hear this now that I understand the situation. What a mess..
with a cameo by Bill Cosby
Anna THIS WAS JUST A SNIPPET OF INFORMATION FROM THIS CASE IF YOU REALLY WANT MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK, RESEARCH THIS CASE , I PERSONALLY THINK IT'S WORSE THEN THE JUSSIE SMOLLETT CASE.....BECAUSE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER THIS CASE VERY WELL...
I was only 3 but I from the UK so maybe that I never heard of this case
It's funny how they found themselves the perfect scapegoat in a cop who committed suicide
15 visiting a boyfriend in jail and they believed HER lies? My goodness.
Be kind kiwi Jails don't allow visitation for a 15 year old. So that was a filthy lie. No way would that girl get justice. That was the only time Sharpton did something for someone else.
@@ctruth6185 I wouldn't have thought so but American jails are crazy man..I'm Not stupid I know America is racist af..
She was 16🤦🏾♀️
@@goldenpaka7060 So you can visit at 16?
A 15 yr old can not visit someone in jail without an adult.
Divide and conquer!! United we stand divided we fall. 🇺🇸
"I didnt bring him into the story. Miss Brawley did?" Really? How does Sharpton sleep at night? He is a piece of crap. No wonder he is a joke in the community he swore to protect. Good lord. Why was Tawana never held accountable for the lie she started? It is ridiculous.
Carlee Russell is the new Tawana Brawley
Juicy Smollett says, "Where's AL Sharp ton when you need him?"
That Bill Cosby clip really aged well
Like fine wine.
You knew it was faked. You were apart of it Al.
I think, what happened was, she created a story, like the boyfriend said, to avoid a whooping. But, it blew out of proportion, and when all these people got involved, she got scared and had to continue lying.
It's just sad how other people made it all about themselves and that policeman's family had to suffer.
What a coward. I would’ve just taken the whooping.
The real lesson that everyone needs to take from this, Stop putting children’s names out in the media until the case has been investigated. It saves the child rather she lied or not the lifelong red X. Children especially teenagers tend to make things up to not getting in trouble with their parents.
Not to mention it puts her in the position of having to defend herself and feeling like she needs to double down on the lies!
You think THAT is the lesson from this? 🤣
It's difficult to tell who put her name in the media. There are laws when it comes to police, medical, social services, other agencies about giving names to the media. I don't believe there are rules about parents and activities giving names. Look at how many children go missing and of course their parents want their pictures and names in the media because they want to do anything to find their children. I'm just getting into this, so I don't know if it was just Tawanna or her whole family in on the hoax.
Smh, I can’t take fat Al Sharpton with a Perm serious 6:48
I liked fat al. Now he just looks like a used up to highlighter
It was in the 80s dude, what you expect
🤦🏾♀️😂
He looks like big mama
Keenan from SNL should play him in a biopic
Ellen DeGeneres, thinks we should just believe someone. This is why we should Trust and then Verify, Ellen 💯
Sharpton was an FBI informant going back to the 80’s. It’s no wonder he got aquitted while his cohorts paid the price
Somebody did their homework ! All Americans should , They will find out how bad the DEMOCRATS REALLY ARE.
who came here to write something negative about al "the rat" sharpton
julio pagan Last year Al's half brother, a reverand too, was arrested for being an accomplice to murder a day after he marched in a anti gun violence protest. The hypocrisy of some people is over looked & over whelming
Was a physical examination not done?
They can't force a physical examination on a victim who refuses to cooperate.
carultch I believe her parents refused one on Al’s advice.
She was afraid of her step dad. made it up to cover her tracks for days...
Yup
I was afraid of my step dad because he was an abusive drunk , never made up a horrible story and accused innocent people of doing horrible things to me because I was afraid of him .
Shedevil
@@melissakessler4323 I mean sure you didn't but others have. Not defending her, she went very extreme to avoid wrath of her step father.
The OG Juicy Smooyay!
I don't know if I can trust a black Man still wearing a perm in 2019... wanna be a activist for the black community but steady putting that mess on your head.. whatever happened to being black and proud🤔
Darnel White 🤣😂🤣 oml
Never trust a man with a perm or jerry curl they don't tip either.
Billy Cosby?!
Yeah...that didn't age well...:/
He and Sharpton stepped right up, back then. I remember that clearly.
@BMWTRIP81 Why is this in all caps?
jesse gonzalez gross
@@cynthiahawkins2389 exactly and never apologized for attempting to destroy several careers or admitting they were wrong or just playing up racial tension
Seeing Bill Cosby in this has really aged well
liked spiked punch
A turd flushed down the toilet has more positive affect on this world than Al Sharpton's entire life.
You're right, and that's his own fault, through his own narcissistic and race-baiting actions.
My favorite part was seeing bill Cosby speak out about this!
Jussie Smollett The Modern Tawana Brawley
U betta stop, lol
I thought the same thing, lol
He is an embarrassment smh
K. Floyd yep!
10:01 "I believed there was a reason to pursue the situation." -Al Sharpton
Notice he didn’t say because he believed her. Yeah Al, we all know what the reason was.
He is just the worst kind of person.
"She went to go visit her boyfriend in jail"... THAT ALONE SAYS IT ALL.
