EXCERPT:
SHARPTON: "Well, I think that this is tantamount to sticking a dagger in our back. Because what they have said now is that it is unconstitutional to even consider race. And given the racial history of the country, let's not act like blacks off behind because there's something in our genes that made us behind. It was against the law for us to even read and write until 160 years ago. We were enslaved 246 years.”
