Al Sharpton, the original racial grievance merchant, has chimed in on the Claudine Gay firing — and is getting slapped for his trouble by sports media legend Sage Steele.
“This is an attack on every Black woman in this country who’s put a crack in the glass ceiling,” blathered Sharpton.
He blatantly ignored the fact that Gay was caught red-handed engaged in serial plagiarism, including of an acknowledgments section.
And of course Sharpton, who infamously led an antisemitic march during the Crown Heights pogrom of 1991, couldn’t spare a word for Gay’s passive and cowardly backing of antisemitic thugs at Harvard and elsewhere.
Steele, who is biracial, slammed the Rev: “I just wish he would go away. … Al Sharpton pretends that he knows what every single person of color in this country thinks, believes how they should live, how they should act, how they should vote.”
Her justified outrage echoes that of ex-prof Carol Swain, one of the victims of Gay’s plagiarism: “Stop listening to the racist mob of whites and blacks who cry racism while being among the worst offenders.”
