Perhaps it is because people of color disproportionately are in need of representation due to the inequities in the justice system. And like I said, unless you have a complete list of all clients he has defended throughout his career, you can not unequicocally state that he does not defend caucasions. As a matter of fact, in the early 60's he represented both black and white individuals who were arrested during civil rights protests.
After it was proven that Tawana Brawley was a liar, did Sharpton do what he could to clear the names and reputations of the falsely accused cops?
Did the cops hire him as legal representation? Looks to me like it would have created a conflict of interest. [/code][/code]

After it was proven that the Duke rape case was a hoax, did he apologize to those falsely accused students and try to make things right for them?
I seriously doubt that any attorney makes it a practice to apologize after loosing a case, unless it is to his client.

For the benefit of those ADers who haven't been following Sharpton's career, here's a brief history:
