Does Al Sharpton actually fuel these "hate crimes" that he talks about?

I think some people get ideas from Al Sharpton's raving. Most crimes are hate crimes. The Jena 6 beating was a hate crime yet he was defending the criminal in that case. I think he gives bigots and praknsters ideas. When he and Jackson champioed getting the Confederate flag off the South Carolina state house, we started to see them pop up in people's yards all over the state, making them more visible than ever before. Sharpton is resented by many people.
