  • Fake Racist

    The title says it all- from the days of Tawana Brawley this man is an unintelligent racist who exploits the black population for his own personal financial gain. A snake!

  • This man should be in prison

    No public figure has a more repulsive history of pure evil and corruption than Al Sharpton (Tawana Brawley, etc.) Please do not support this person. The fact that Apple chose to highlight this podcast frankly disgusts me.
