Back in the Tawanna Brawley days,Al was a jerk . We all hated him . There was an incident where someone tried to stab him with a butter knife.
It was so funny .....but ,he learned a lesson from the Tawanna thing.
He's not racist .He's just pro black ,because he grew up during a time,when a much more repressed society ,abused blacks, as a whole .
He was fighting for equality . He cried racism ,because it was,and still is,a factor ,in many ways.
Bill Clinton works with him sometimes too . He's not an idiot ,he just plays one on TV

With more equal rights now,he's toned down his act a lot,except in cases ,that even we would say were racially motivated .
When I was in the hospital ,in 2004 ,on all kinds of ivs and things,suffering from sepsis and in infected hand ,I got from a cat bite ,he happens
to be visiting someone on my floor.
My room mate ,a little old Jewish woman ,wanted to meet him .Someone told him . He came to our room .Sat with us .Chatted ,and even helped me out or bed ,while he asked what happened to my swollen hand.
Then he told me all about his cats .
He was kind ,gracious ,and spent time with us,when he didn't have to . No press was there .He had no reason to do any of that ,except he was
nice .
He gets a bad rap in the press if you ask me .
