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.
“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.”
How the hell could you possibly get that from what you saw on the tape? Her point was just the opposite. And when she said the part about God opening her eyes to her own bigotry, thats where I heard the loudest “Amens”. This lady’s firing is the big scandal.
You nailed it, my friend. The woman is a nasty, vile — and, yes, unrepentant — racist. And those who applauded her vicious story are representative of streak running through far too many negroes who seem to conveniently forget the past 40 years of welfare, affirmative action, quotas, massive entitlement spending, and PC in extremis.
Just because she finished off her little tale of “get whitey” by condescendingly saying the God had told her to be nice to the honkies — as long as they are poor or female — doesn’t let her off the hook for being a demented racist of the worst sort. One who would use the power to government to discriminate against those whose race she hates. Just as her former boss Obama did with his Hate Crimes Bill, in fact.

I know that I am coming late to the game, but while I was reading the thread, your comment elicited precisely the point I made on a prior thread; i.e., not many of us have sat through a Black church service.
Some of my favorite preachers are Blacks. They really get the crowd into it. The interaction between the preacher and the congregation is different than in most white churches. When the Black preacher is talking about how bad the bad person is in the story, the crowd is just warming up. They will chime in with "preach it" and "amen" and other accolades intended to affirm the preacher, NOT the evil person being depicted.
Given that she had prefaced her story with verbiage explaining the coming "parable"; albeit true, I can certainly believe that the crowd is cheering her story, but not her confessed racism.
