"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Sharpton#Accusations_of_racism_and_homophobia
Sharpton was quoted as saying to an audience at Kean College in 1994 that, “White folks was in caves while we was building empires … We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” Sharpton defended his comments by noting that the term “homo” was not homophobic but added that he no longer uses the term."
Well, actually, this quote is in reference to the myth that Europeans were the beginning of all civilization and schools of thought. It's in response to racist ideology that targets people of color as being from uncivilized and unlearned societies.
The "homo" part was in poor taste and is the only bigotry here.
