I just wonder what they don’t want us to be aware of

What they don't want us aware of, is the NAACP crowd's reaction to her speech, and the obvious racism depicted there. Breitbart 's target isn't, and never was Sherrod. It was the crowd she was speaking to...

This is weird. Why wouldn't he just give her old job back to her?

Did Obama really want someone else for the position and that's why this has all played out? Another Chicago crony in need of an influential job?

Or she may have set herself up (had a friend send Breitbart the partial—and damning—video) so she could lay the groundwork for another lawsuit.

OK, so maybe the woman was railroaded in this particular instance. However, it’s also obvious she is a drooling liberal (I’ve heard enough of her quotes by now).

Guess what I’m saying is I’m sick of watching people kiss her ample arse over this like she’s some sort of saint. Disgusting.

She claims to have had an epiphany, but the fact it she admits to having wronged a white farmer 25 years ago. Therefore her firing came 25 years too late.

And she’s still a racist, no matter how many apologies she gets.

i am confused... how did the story become, “she’s not racist”

just because the people she “helped” were unaware that she wasn’t helping as much, doesn’t mean she is not a self admitting racist.

color me confused.

t

and i always talk to government employees like i am superior to them, because i pay their salaries and they work for me... so i thought.

Thanks for that link. A search yesterday yielded some info but not that article. There appears to be quite an age difference between the Sherrod spouses, assuming he is the Charles Sherrod of SNCC fame. Another fine example of following the money...
