Sharpton Praises Mizzou Protestors: 'They Have Given Us a Ray of Hope'

"They led to victory in the highest tradition."

It didn't take long for resident race-baiter Al Sharpton to weigh in favorably on the black University of Missouri students who cried racism and successfully unseated the school's president. Heaping mounds of praise on the entire situation is putting it lightly. Sharpton's response was nothing short of a spiritual moment of messianic proportions.

Taking a break during his radio show, Sharpton addressed the camera for a social media post:

[Students of] the University of Missouri ought to be congratulated and extolled. They showed how you win by using persistence, discipline, building coalitions. They accepted the support of everyone across racial lines, across generations, athletes. They did not beat up on people that stood up for their cause, they embraced them and they led to victory in the highest tradition of how you organize, based on principles and goals and not on personalities and your positioning. They have given us a ray of hope and have proven how young -- real -- activism can and has won. It may look like a little step but it made a giant statement.
