Critics Blast Jackson, Sharpton Over Silence On Florida School Bus Beating

Self-appointed civil rights leaders and celebrities remained mum on the vicious beating of a white sixth-grader at the hands of three older African-Americans in Florida, despite a growing chorus of critics who called their silence hypocrisy given their recent, racially-charged condemnation of the Sunshine State.

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, who both blasted Florida in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting and the acquittal of George Zimmerman in Martin's death, with Jackson calling it an "apartheid state" and "our Selma," have not spoken publicly of the brutal beating aboard a school bus caught on cellphone and surveillance video. Neither Jackson nor Sharpton responded to requests for comment from FoxNews.com.

Sharpton and Jackson are cheap thugs who are nothing more than "race pimps."

I believe Sharpton and Jackson are racist. The bus beating was wrong and brutal no matter what colors were involved. I hope the punks that did the beating are punished to full extent of the law and expelled from school. The only school they should be in is reform school, or in Sheriff's Joe chain gang in Arizona.
