“The Problem Is Not Trump. The Problem Is Us.” Rev. Sharpton's Blunt Warning At Jackson Tribute Rev. Al Sharpton delivers a fiery tribute to Rev. Jesse Jackson — warning that the greatest threat to progress isn’t just political opposition, but forgetting the movements and sacrifices that made Black political power possible. Rev. Al Sharpton honors the life and legacy of Rev. Jesse Jackson while delivering a blunt warning about the present moment. Speaking about Jackson’s lifelong fight for civil rights, economic justice, and political empowerment, Sharpton challenges the audience not to leave the memorial inspired but inactive. He argues that the real danger facing Black America is “Negro Amnesia” — forgetting the struggles, movements, and organizing that created today’s opportunities. Drawing on Jackson’s legacy, Sharpton calls for renewed political engagement, reminding the audience that the victories of the civil rights era were never guaranteed and can be rolled back if communities fail to organize and vote.

I completely agree with what Rev. Sharpton said that the problem is us in so many ways. But I have to be honest. Every time I hear messages like this, I hear the applause, I hear the amen, I see people standing up in agreement, and yet it seems like very few actually take action. I am not here to bash people that look like me, but this is something I see all the time. We need more of us to really take these messages to heart and turn them into action. As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. I want to speak to anyone raising a child in our community. Even if you do not feel like you have all the knowledge or skills to raise your child the right way, I beg you to keep them close and nurture them as best as you can so they do not fall into the hands of the streets. Even though your children may already see negativity and violence in the hood, do your best to guide them and expose them to better opportunities and experiences outside of it. I am not saying the hood is inherently bad because I truly believe the majority of people are living upright. But we have to do more to lift our children, our communities, and ourselves.
