Racism is never justifiable, and I believe that deep down, all humans know this. I can’t be the only one who has sat down with a blatant racist blabbermouth one on one and gotten a confession out of them that their position is wrong, no matter how many examples of people of the distinction they hate can be discussed.

[Sherrod is also highly partisan and frames the Republican Party as being responsible for the problems that face the Black community. There’s no excuse for this type of nonsense that seems to emanate regularly from the Leftwing orgs not excluding the NAACP.]

Agreed. Of course, she has been fed this line all her life, and entities like the NAACP continue to serve it up. I pray that someone, some day, somehow, can get through to these poor folks and reveal that the lies the progressives have been feeding them only serve to enslave them for the sake of votes.

I concur that the MSM and NAACP, along with countless other organizations with the same agenda that slam the Tea Partiers as racist are making up the news. Their hypocrisy is astounding. Still I see this issue of the thread as unresolved and will be a thorn in our side. Even if the fact of the matter is that the other side is running with it without true clarity. I believe OUR side perhaps may be guilty of the same thing. Just sayin’.

Yes she does and I pointed that out on another thread.

I just watched the entire 43 minute video of Shirley Sherrod's speech. I wonder if 0bama will give that much time to find out about her?

It was actually a very good speech with several very positive messages in it. She talked about people "on both sides" (meaning the black and white communities in rural Georgia) finding understanding about how to work together.

But she blew her credibility on that at the 24:00 minute mark by implying that opposition to "0bamaCare" was racist and "the last eight years of Bush" was racist "but now we have 0bama!" She sure doesn't understand where the problem lies.

She blows it again near the end by saying "there has never been a better time to buy a home and we can thank 0bama for that."

I tend to be optimistic about issues involving racism, and don’t consider racial bickering to be a significant problem. Any racism, however, that restricts liberty in any way whatsoever obviously needs to be eradicated.

We need to be smart about the 1st Amendment and not abuse it through intolerance of others’ opinions and anger.
