Sherrod said the short video clip excluded the breadth of the story about how she eventually worked with the man over a two-year period to help ward off foreclosure of his farm, and how she eventually became friends with the farmer and his wife.
"And I went on to work with many more white farmers," she said. "The story helped me realize that race is not the issue, it's about the people who have and the people who don't. When I speak to groups, I try to speak about getting beyond the issue of race."
You know, this does sound like an opportunity to show a growth and learning process rather than just another slam against ignorance.
And if it did indeed happen 24 years ago, then it's completely misleading and inappropriate for Fix/AJC/Breitbart to not mention that.
Breitbart owes Sherrod an apology. I’m disappointed in him.
Why? If it was a whitey who did this 24 years ago do you really think the MSM would let it go? If it was a whitey, they'd literally be calling for this person's arrest and prosecution. Turnabout is fair play.
Let the left suffer some media bias for once.
FIX News? Sort of gave yourself away didn’t you?
Your “concern” over the tape being 24 years old. Brietbart has more tapes. I would believe his point in starting with the oldest would be to PROVE that racism at the NAACP didn’t just start as blowback against “racism” they perceive being directed at our first black President. He is providing the groundwork to prove it has been part of the NAACP for at least 24 years, if not far longer.
The video is from March 27. This is a like criminal bragging recently about her past crime.
