Shirley Sherrod blasts Fox News as racist
Washington Post ^ | July 21, 2010 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 07/21/2010 9:15:49 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

"I think they should but they won't. They intended exactly what they did. "They were looking for the result they got yesterday," she said of Fox. "I am just a pawn. I was just here. 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."

“They would love to take us back to where we were many years ago.”

November 1983 would be far enough

"As Breitbart explained, this is not about her, it’s about the racist cheering of the NAACP audience as she discussed her bigotry and before she mentioned her epiphany."

And that white guy that's president of the NAACP was in the audience...his obvious desperation to demonstrate that he can pass as Black no doubt motivating him to be one of the vocal supporters of her when she was recounting discriminating against the white farmer before referring him to "one of his own".

Although it goes without saying there's a double standard (as compared, for instance, with the recent excuses made for Robert Byrd's KKK involvement as part of his personal evolution to Progressive Enlightenment) to not give the foolish woman credit for the point of her story, the terms she used in describing her referring the farmer of "one of his own kind" and the fact that she was willing to play to an audience that wanted to hear her talk down about whites shows that she still has a long way to go in overcoming her racist past.

These accusations against Fox confirm that.

She's still trapped by her hate.

She's making sure she lets the other haters know she's still one of them, so she doesn't have to worry about ever being abandoned or broke.

There is, after-all, still a twisted "honor among thieves"...and haters.

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?)

For the last 50 yars I have viewed government jobs as the "other welfare."
I know it. She knows it. And now it is slowly dawning on the working taxpaying American citizen.

Has anyone ever determined how many trillions$ have been spent on welfare since the War on Poverty?"

What happened? Did the crackers get it all? The Federal "employees?" What? The more we spend "solving" poverty, the bigger the pool of victims gets.

So much for the “post-racial” president.

Back to the 70’s.

The best news in all of this is that the “racist” epithet is becoming meaningless...

When I hear "racis", I stop that nonsense in it's track by stating:
"I'm sorry, but your race card expired 20 JAN 09 with BHO's election, and furthermore, your card will never be renewed due to overspending".

....have used it half-dozen times and I get the deer-in-the-headlight look.

They can't take us anywhere if we ignore them, there 'are' more of us.

Ignore them with prejudice & they will go away.

Focus on you own life, it's more important.

This whole mess was over and done with before anyone on FNC said ONE word.

But the lies continue.

upChuck Todd is such a stooge.

No ma’am. We want to bring blacks into the modern era.

Competing for a job on the merits.

Competing for college admissions based on merit.

Being judged by the content of your character rather than the color of your skin.

Unfortunately, that's what's being lost here - by design I would guess.

" Sherrod's family reportedly got $13 million of the $1.15 billion distributed to date under the Pigford civil rights class action suit against the USDA for allegedly refusing to help black farmers. Sherrod was hired by the Obama administration for her USDA post very soon after her family "settled" for a fortune in taxpayer money.

Sherrod's husband had a Student Nonviolence Coordinating Committee SNCC) background (ermember them?). Her own background suggests she knows more about growing and packaging profitable grievances than about growing crops.

So the lady isn't an innocent nobody "victim" at all.

She's got a long history of chip-on-the-shoulder race-based hostilities.

Instead we've got the MOST-racial president.

“... 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.”

That is where a good many of them are headed... but by their own hand, their own stupid mouths and by their own racism.

-Kill the crackers and their babies, isn’t a stated wish that makes me want to warm up to anyone.

Fox didn’t fire her and neither did Andrew

The people who DID fire her...did so without all the facts...

Her beef and suit lies with the employer who FIRED her...not people who were sharing a VIDEO of her speaking to the NAACP...

funny the same media on the left are allowed to spew lies and when proven wrong...no recourse...

typical double standard...a la Black Panthers and voter rights...

So much for her “seeing the light” and having a change of heart about her racist ways.

Which means every racist thing she said on the video, she meant.
