I wonder if this is grounds for a lawsuit against her personally by that white farmer.

only if the farmer uses a black lawyer....

Yes, it should be. If I was him, I’d sure as hell sue.

I hope so. She painted a huge target on herself by those very stupid comments. There have to be more than a few lawyers looking at this! It isn't often that Government officials publicly state open bias against people based on skin color.

But there is something else that intrigues me about how she worded this. She implied that there should be a form of segregation established. White people who need help from the Government should go to their own kind. By inference, if a black person seeks help from a black Government official, it will be granted because it is from his own kind.

So for the sake of pouring more gas on the fire, would Sherrod say that black children who want an education should go to the own kind? Black people who need medical care should go to their own kind? Black people who want jobs should go to their own kind? Black people who want to eat in a restaurant should go to one owned by their own kind?

it should be. criminal negligence comes to mind. She failed on numerous levels and is personally culpable. And you can bet her behavior is only the tip of the ice burg. I would say the whole dept.case history should be up for review and criminal investigation. Time for a special prosecutor to get busy.

How would you determine the farmer? I’m sure she did it to more than one whitey. I guess a lot of white folks that dealt with her could potentially have a case.
