She's not about to blame the people who fired her, based on nothing more than an out-of-context segment of a talk.

Oh and how quickly some at FR chimed in to defend this woman!

IMHO, the incident she related was just part of a longer "conversion story" in which she saw the inequity of her color and race based prejudice. On those grounds, she was dealt an injustice by the editing an packaging of the snippet that went public. She should not have been pressured to resign on the basis of that.

I hate to have to add a "however" here, but however:

The Obama White House doesn't move that fast on anything unless someone's butt is badly exposed. My advice is follow the money.

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.

What makes this really interesting is that in 2008 Congress extended the time for people to file claims in the Pigford class action thing dispite evidence that many such claims are bogus. We are talking several times more claims than the number of black-owned farms.

“I am just a pawn. I was just here”

I’ll say. What’s a woman with no interest in agriculture doing in the Department of Agriculture? She should have been tossed to the curb a long time ago.

This woman is a waste of space and pisspoor leadership.
