How do you accurately measure ones "level" of racism? I would propose you have to be able to quantify racism, as in what is, what it can do, or what you can do with it, first. Then you would need to know who possesses racism in sufficient enough quantities to be able to effectively use it. Then, do you mean more racist currently, or throughout American (or World) history? -- Neither of the guys (Sharpton or Jackson) in the OP have many racist deeds on their hands as of yet. By racist, I mean fire bombing a church. Dragging a man behind a pick-up truck. Denying one his/her right to vote. Lynching/Hanging. Segregation. Unleashing trained German Shepherds on defenseless crowds of people. Cranking up the Johnny pump and letting it spray the crowd. All merely based on hatred for a race or a skin color. Maybe you mean something other than 'racist'? Like, incendiary or controversial or out-spoken or a trouble maker. Not sure yet. But, if you want pure racism or racists, US History is brimming with them. Pick a southern state and take your pick. -- Even calling an African American a racist does not compute. They have been VICTIMS of the racism that exists in the USA. Not the other way around.
