** Sharpton: ‘Baby Trump’ DeSantis Using Race to Energize His 'Far Right' Base For 2024 Run
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday on MSNBC’s Deadline ([link removed]) , lifelong race hustler Al Sharpton ([link removed]) claimed falsely that Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) is opposing the curriculum of an African-American AP history class because he is “Baby Trump” attempting to energize the far-right base for a presidential bid.
Discussing a Tallahassee protest, Sharpton said, “The rallying cry came from faith leaders, student leaders, a lot of students, hundreds of students and many civil rights groups really standing up saying they’re not going to let this governor tamper with history. They’re really talking about censorship here. And even though they said, no, we’re doing black history, but they’re being very selective, and they’re really trying to tamp down parts of the story that points out the contradictions in American history and what we had to overcome. And it’s not in a negative. It’s to show the strength of people. You can’t talk about American history without talking what about what blacks and women and the LGBTQ people went through. DeSantis wants to pivot his campaign for president. I call him Baby Trump. He wants to be Baby Trump and do it in a different way to pit us one against another.”
This is outright projection, coming from a man who has made a lucrative career from using race to pit people against each other.
Sharpton added, “He wants to make a racial divide to energize a far-right base that his mentor and political daddy Donald Trump did to win the nomination and go on and run in the general election.”
Trump never used race to energize a far-right base, and DeSantis is no race-monger either, unlike Sharpton and his network MSNBC. Neither is DeSantis “censoring” black history, which is required to be taught in Florida. What he opposes are the ugly lies of Critical Race Theory ([link removed]) , which Sharpton knows full well is not unbiased historiography but insidious indoctrination designed to foment racial tension and resentment.

The Racist Kean College Speech
In 1994, Sharpton delivered an incendiary speech at New Jersey’s Kean College, where he said: “White folks was in the cave while we [blacks] was building empires … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was … we taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”^[5] ([link removed])
The Kean College speech also featured Sharpton explaining that America’s founders consisted of “the worst criminals, the rejects they sent from Europe … to the colonies.” “So [if] some cracker,” he continued, “come and tell you ‘Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,’ you better hold you pocket. That ain’t nothing to be proud of, that means their forefathers was crooks.” Sharpton later defended his use of the word “cracker,” calling it merely a colloquial term used to describe a certain kind of equal-opportunity bigot: “It’s certainly not a racist term and certainly not an anti-Semitic term,” said Sharpton, “because a cracker hates [both] Jews and blacks.”^[7] ([link removed])
