Here's the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_xCeItxbQY
And here's the link to what Andrew Breitbart had to say about it - http://biggovernment.com/abreitbart/2010/07/19/video-proof-the-naacp-awards-racism2010/
In a nutshell, a US Gov appointed official is on tape saying “The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he took a long time talking but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing, but he had come to me for help. What he didn't know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me was, I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him."
"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough," Sherrod said. "So that when he, I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him."
As you will see in the video Shirley Sherrod also spoke of referring the white farmer to a white lawyer, thinking the latter would be more sympathetic because of race. On the video you will hear her say "So I took him to a white lawyer that had attended some of training that we had provided because Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farm. So I figured if I take him to one of them, that his own kind would take care of him."

Write your representitive and demand an investigation and removal from her position if proved that she said what has been recorded on this video.
Sounds like a good basis for termination and a sec. 1983 civil rights lawsuit for race-based discrimination.
Zimbabwe did the same thing, but openly admitted it to the world. This hate filled piece of trash thought that noone would find out.
Not racist...communist.
Which perversely makes Zimbabwe more honest and open. I am SO sickened that we have such people in this country. This whole miserable term of Obama’s has shown me the real face of a lot of people in this country and it makes me sick.
Definitely more racist than communistic.
“...his own kind would take care of him.”
The more things change the more they stay the same.
“What he didn’t know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me”
And how was he doing that? Talking about how he ran his own farm/business, how he had a ‘real’ job? Or were you looking at his skin color and deciding he was automatically superior, or believed he thought he was superior?
Interesting construction - "he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him".
Ah, petty officialdom, the hallmark of goverment everywhere.
Ain’t it great!
She’s a lib. She can read minds and hearts. They are all gifted in that way.
How wrong they are. One day, all the ‘racist’ farmers and businesspeople will move to other countries and they can starve all they want, at least there won’t be racists!
“”This whole miserable term of Obama’s has shown me the real face of a lot of people in this country and it makes me sick.””
I read a simple comment on a blog about this woman’s actions and the guy related a conversation he had with a coworker who had served prison time. He didn’t mention the person’s color but he told the coworker he didn’t care what color obama was and the coworker replied “you may not care what color he is but he cares what color you are.”
I think that summed up very simply what we are up against. Those of us who have not led lives full of bigotry will find out that when obama gets things stirred up enough, THEY will not be as discriminating as we have been and that’s what is frightening. None of the advances in civil rights made since the mid ‘60’s will have any meaning. They will start at ground zero to get even with whitey.
MLK - they will deny ever hearing of him. Why does his “I Have a Dream” speech mean more to us (whites) than to them (blacks)???
This video will be circulated widely and we’ll all be waiting to learn when this woman’s last day on the job will be.
The time will come.
I watched “Beyond the Gates” and “Hotel Rwanda” and what freaked me out is how the previously easy to work with Hutu became so EVIL.
In “Beyond the Gates” this one worker named Francois, who had been so decent, ended up participating in the murders and was the one who killed the elderly priest. Before the massacres, things seemed easy enough and while the Hutu complained, they didn’t lash out.
In “Hotel Rwanda” this one hotel worker named Gregoire had been an employee and then took over the Presidential suite and was the one who tipped off the Hutu as a UN convoy was making their way out with refugees.
“None of the advances in civil rights made since the mid ‘60’s will have any meaning. They will start at ground zero to get even with whitey”
All that blood and treasure wasted. What a WASTE. No point to it at all. I look at how things are between whites and blacks and I am utterly bewildered at why they are still like this. I wonder if the census take was part of some list making. Like they did with the Tutsi.
It’s been bad, but it’s going to get worse and I am not going to be so stupid as to stick around. I might be a coward, but really, this is freaking Satanic. The other part is, that thankfully it won’t be whites on their own, it’ll be Asians, Hispanics, Indians thankfully not interested in seeing this country get handed over to the animals who are so intent on destroying it.
What evil resides in these people? What dark hatred is part of them that they are like this?
I can tell you a huge part of this racism seeding was when the MSM decided W, who tried every avenue to get Blanco to let him in to help with the assured devastation, was flatly turned down, as he hated black people.
Kanye West articulated it, and the rats clamped down hard on it, paving the way for Zippo in the wings and the new race problem we
never had before until the ‘race victims’ forced it on us.
There was every example of every conservative city building shelter and helping with housing, food, clothing for every Katrina refugee.
A good deed never goes unpunished.
Coservatives are making a huge mistake by buying into the RATs equivalent of “When did you stop beating your wife” argument.
So the TEA Party is racist? Response should be: Democrats are the Party of Genocide.
To them anti communism is equal to racism.
