SAN DIEGO – Shirley Sherrod, the black federal official who was forced to resign last week after a conservative website posted a selectively edited video of her, said Thursday that President Barack Obama "needs a little lesson" in race relations.

Speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists, Sherrod also said she planned to sue the blogger who posted the misleading video.

“...Sherrod also said she planned to sue the blogger who posted the misleading video.”

Is she referring to Breitbart? Could that be the whole object of this stupid little vignette? Or perhaps just an interesting bit of fallout.

“Maybe if the secretary would have had some African-Americans around him, they would have gotten him to see” that he was wrong to demand her resignation without even hearing her version of events, said Sherrod, […].
Or they could have simply asked Glenn Beck who had said the same thing. And he isn’t even “African-American!” Guess what, Shirley: What people think and say is not determined by the color of their skin. Imagine that! Perhaps you could use a little lesson, too!

She is just another Black Racist. Her Husband is one too. Blacks who favor blacks can not comprehend the fact that they are Racist. It does not compute in their pre-programed minds.
They think only Whitey can be racist.

Selectively edit text? No that would be what Couric did to Sarah.

There ia no doubt in my mind that obamma approved of this firing. A white dept manager, working in the black obamma administration, cannot fire a black employee without obamma’s okay, especially one that had the media’s attention. And now obamma is telling everyone the manager went too far, as if he did not have anything to do with it.

This is hilarious!

The democrats are busily trying to smooth things over with the white voters they’ve alienated over the past couple of years and Sherrod just keeps popping up to keep RACISM! alive.

You know, part of what I realized was that if the world saw me as African American, then that wasn't something that I needed to run away from. That's something that I could go ahead and embrace. And the interesting thing about the African-American experience in this country is that we are sort of a mongrel people. I mean, we're all kind of mixed up.

So accurate. And, Americans need to step up and start speaking out against these Black Ku Klux Klan types....Sherrod and her ilk are total racists.

“a selectively edited video”

It wasn’t selectively edited. In fact it wasn’t edited at all. It was a section taken directly out of the full video - not cut and pasted, not rearranged - at worst it was out of context but it wasn’t selectively edited. And it wasn’t even meant to illustrate anything about Sherrod - it was meant to so the racism of the NAACP.

Blogging is the new media, and the 1st amendment decisions of the past century make it possible to run with stories in ways that others might not carry them.

There is no way that Breitbart, even if selective, was reckless or criminally negligent in reporting on an ACTUAL section of verbiage that WAS in that tape.

If it were any other media outlet, I think they’d not worry about the outcome of such a lawsuit. However, given the Clinton judge who ruled on Arizona’s law, it’s possible that more partisanship will rule on this decision, too.

Judges really need to lose lifetime appointments. They are as partisan as any overt politician.

They are all members of the Marx Race Klan.

And it's doing nothing but making me prejudice whereas I was not before all this crap...going to backfire on them. People are fed up with the blacks attitude and constant race baiting......methinks they are setting race relations back to the 50's
