Did you hear? A racist (falsely!) purporting to work at Merrill Lynch has been sending out hate-filled emails to a number of non-famous black people who actually work there! And, weirdly, also to Rev. Al Sharpton.

We're not sure how exactly the political activist's name got thrown into the mix, but we're guessing it has something to do with the fact that whenever there's even a hint of racial tension, you just know Sharpton has to be involved.
