It's a symbolic reference to the stereotype of Jews. But you've conceded that it is a potentially offensive reference. Not inherently racist on the part of Sharpton but bigoted and potentially offensive.
Aren't you the one who is always telling people "don't tell me what does or does not offend me", or " as a black woman don't tell me how I should feel.."? If a Jewish person feels that remark to be inherently racist on the part of Sharpton or more than just "potentially" offensive, than who are you to judge?
