Former NAACP leader accuses Sharpton and Jackson of ‘exploiting’ Trayvon Martin

Former NAACP leader C.L. Bryant is accusing Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton of “exploiting” the Trayvon Martin tragedy to “racially divide this country.”

“His family should be outraged at the fact that they’re using this child as the bait to inflame racial passions,” Rev. C.L. Bryant said in a Monday interview with The Daily Caller.

The conservative black pastor who was once the chapter president of the Garland, Texas NAACP called Jackson and Sharpton “race hustlers” and said they are “acting as though they are buzzards circling the carcass of this young boy.”

Jackson, for example, recently said Martin’s death shows how “blacks are under attack” and “targeting, arresting, convicting blacks and ultimately killing us is big business.”

without reading more than the headline THEY ARE!!! and Trayvon's parents aren't outraged because they really feel like their son was without fault so whatever publicity they can get for him they will take it...I'm not defending Zimmerman because I don't know what happened I think though that there might be some truth to his version...I say "SOME" there are always two sides to the story and Trayvon's not here...I am sure the 911 call didn't give Zimmerman a broken nose though...just saying..

Trayvon's Mom is real upset. Thats why she hustled her self to a lawyer to get dibs on his name being used on products like the recial shirts the flunkies had made.

Rev CL Bryant is absolutely correct and it's because he is educated and can see the forest through the trees as opposed to those who follow Jackson and Sharpton's every word like it's gospel.
It's all about IQ. Those in a low percentile are quick to jump on most any bandwagon without knowing all the facts.
