The audience knew where she was going with the story, because she told them that she once thought everything was about race, but then learned that she was wrong. The story about the white farmer was an illustration of that change.
Knowing where she was going and knowing the exact nature of the ending is not exactly the same.
The responses that I heard form the audience really don’t jive with that explanation in my mind.
They were essentially amening the most racist parts of the story, and I was disgusted by it.
The story about the white farmer was an illustration of a government employee thinking about and using a person’s race as a negative factor against them while employed by funds forcefully taken from them. I’ll take your money, you can’t stop me, and when you come and ask me for it, you may not get it, because you are another kind.
RACISM, PERIOD, END OF STORY.
She deserved to be fired, and the NAACP deserves to be exposed.
Try again...is the NAACP racist, or not? Is a lady who talks about sending someone to get help "from his kind" a racist, or not?
I'll wait...
