For these sorts of statements alone she deserved firing. She is stuck in the 50s, when blacks were expected to hang their heads. It hasn’t been true for at least 40 years, but she is still stuck on racism.

The idea that ANYONE wants a return to a world where blacks have to say “Yes, Master” is insane. Anyone who uses that excuse is too filled with racial hatred to fairly administer squat.

“They are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person.”

The statement above is stereotyping because she's trying to claim what ones motives are for reporting in the manner they did.

I'm not convinced she's not a closet racist that actually popped her head out for that brief moment and is now backtracking. She didn't correct the audience when they busted out in laughter before her alleged reformation.

What she said on the video IS racist! She is trying to deflect her guilt by accusing someone else! Typical, and typical of the lefty racist loons!

This unfortunate woman is only voices the racial discourse that comes with POTUS Barack Hussein Obama. But, folks, forget this stupid “race” thing. Obama and...his entire Democrat party is not only promoting race discourse and hatred, they are trying to take down the USA and all who reside within it, except for their elitest cronies. And...when I say “all” I mean “all” regardless of color religion or gender. Wake up, folks!!! You have one last chance to save America. Register to vote on Novmber 2, 2010 and.....then get out there and vote against every single Democrat you can. The present Democrat Party must be destroyed if America is to be saved and grow economically once more. Your lives and futures are at stake. Vote against Obama and vote out any and every Democrat!!!!

“and not being able to stand up in front of a room full of bigots and brag about my racist acts committed under color of authority.”

Crying racist is like crying wolf. Say it too many times and people will stop listening.

"I am just a pawn. I was just here."

At least she got that right.

The sad thing is, Shirley is so brainwashed she can't even recognize whose pawn she is.

Obviously Shirley has made a deal that if she continues to be a tool of the bigoted Left, even though on the surface they've thrown her under the bus, she'll be taken care of.

IOW, forget the pity parties for this foolish little tool.

And forget her mea culpa that the racism in her soul is all in her past.

Yo blockhead Sherrod:

Bring to bear all of your dull mental faculties in examining the period at the end of this sentence.

Why, yes... like every electron that surround you, it is clearly RACIST.

If you listen to the whole tape Sherrod repeatedly talks about how much federal money is available and that the black community needs to get some of it. She’s right about that … as long as it’s being passed out like candy why shouldn’t blacks get some ... but where is it challened that all this money should be passed out like candy to ANYBODY?

And in the tape she also encourages young black people to get on the fed-gov-job gravy train. (Again, nothing wrong with advocating blacks get some of the jobs, but where is it questioned that we need so many fed-gov-jobs?)

She also makes disparaging remarks about Republicans protesting the health care bill, implying their motivation for doing so are racist.

If you listen to the whole tape, she is vindicated on the ‘black farmer’ story but there is a lot there to go after in terms of promoting the entitlement attitude ... not just to blacks, but in general ... that the FedGov should be spending boatloads of money on all these programs at all.

In the tape, she promoted the idea of communities chasing after fed-gov money for this that and the other. The fact that she advocated that blacks get some of it is an entirely secondary point.

Bottom line: she’s an advocate for a HUMONGOUS federal government ... no suprise that a fed-gov employee of any color would support that. After all, it justifies their jobs.

She seems to have no tolerance for people who feel the fed-gov should be smaller.

That’s ideological bigotry.

Surprise, surprise. Having complained that she was wrongly tarred as a racist she now has no problem throwing that term at others.

She’s got issues. Definitely sees the world as Us vs Them. Yup. She’s a racist.

She is mainstream.
What do you suppose the UP meant when he said, "Our time in now!?"

The thousands who lined up for days for Obama money knew exactly what he meant.

I must not be racist, for sure, because I thought exactly as they did.

The UP redefined the political mainstream for his administration.

I was willing to give this twit the benefit of the doubt when I read the remainder of that story she told at the NAACP event. But the more she talks, the more clearly she shows that she didn’t really learn a thing. She’s just as racist as she was 24 years ago.
