On Wednesday morning, with de Blasio in attendance at the 25th anniversary of the National Action Network’s annual convention, Sharpton jokingly cautioned the mayor and Comptroller Scott Stringer to stay away from the issue.

"Y’all got to leave all these jokes alone," Sharpton said. "Just, don’t even talk about race for a while. There’ll be others. Have a drink of water, Scott."

(Stringer had spoken earlier, employing his familiar refrain that corporate boards are “too male,” “too pale” and “too stale.”)

Sharpton’s remarks drew laughs and applause from de Blasio and Stringer, along with the audience at the Sheraton in Midtown.

This seems to be the appropriate response.
