Broadcast – Race Hustling

Every town has its race baiters – guys who make race an issue where none exists! Their role model is Reverend Al Sharpton.

25 years ago Sharpton accused an innocent man of rape. He said the perpetrator was part of a “white mob” that kidnapped and raped a young girl; then left her in a garbage bag with racial slurs written on her body. A grand jury later found the entire story was a hoax and Sharpton was found liable for defamation.

Bishop Bobby Hilton is Cincinnati’s race hustler. He threatened action against the all-star game because the prosecution of Tracie Hunter was unjust – but he can’t prove any injustice. Lately he claimed Fairfield police broke the ribs and jaw of a 12 year-old girl, but couldn’t produce evidence the injuries occurred.

Much like Reverend Sharpton, Bishop Hilton never lets facts get in the way of a good story.
