The guy knew what was going to happen and what the end result would be. He's no dummy. Al Sharpton couldn't have done better if he'd done it himself.

How would a yes answer to questions 1-3 indicate that he has a cause that he is seeking to further? I would answer yes to all 3 of those questions as well, and the last time I checked I didn't have a cause to further.
I'll ask you again, what was he supposed to do when he felt like his rights were being trampled on due to his race? It sounds to me like you're calling for him to shut his mouth and deal with it.
