I hope this video goes viral. It's time to expose Racism.
Would love to see a public service CONSERVATIVE foundation take this up as a civil rights suit. She needs to be deposed and asked how many other whites she has discriminated against, and if it is official Federal policy to discriminate against white people.
It will help reduce the number of insults, assaults, homicides, takings and may warm the victors heart, if the conquered class, when addressing their superiors, learn to send signals of submission such as a bowed head, mumbling and shuffling of the feet and sometimes dancing.
I watched it and was amazed at how she just “knew” the white farmer was trying to be superior to her. What a dumba$$. More likely he was trying to cover the fact that he was embarrassed to be asking for help from the government. His pride was hurt.
This was just posted on my FB.
She's a bureaucrat, she, like all other bureaucrats, SHOULD be made to feel inferior to the governed, those people who entrust them with power.
Almost unbelievable.
This happens thousands of times an hour in America: a non-black customer walks into a business and notices that they must ask assistance of the mostly female black (and overweight) staff. Common sense and personal history clue you that THIS will be sticky and full of bad attitude.
We are now shocked if it DOESN’T go badly.
Bump.
This video reminds me of the tribalism you’ve pointed out. You are very perceptive. Can it be neutralized?
I am really sick of hearing about racism. Yes, it exists. It is sad, but one can not deny that some people in our society clearly are racist. It is unfair to label all members of the Tea Party as racist due to the actions of one or two individuals out of millions. There are racist democRATS, and there are racist conservatives. It is a sad fact of society, and the media just needs to drop the entire racism issue.

Is the YouTube counter still stuck at 319?
She crossed the line when she described the attorney as “his own kind”. No one should be compared to an attorney.

Shirley’s work began in 1965 as an organizer with the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Southwest Georgia Project. She helped to start the land trust, New Communities, Inc., that had 6,000 acres of land.
Shirley Sherrod was appointed Georgia Director for Rural Development by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on July 25.
Only days earlier, she learned that New Communities, a group she founded with her husband and other families has won a thirteen million dollar settlement in the minority farmers law suit Pigford vs Vilsack.
Minority Farm Settlement
We have wonderful news regarding the case of New Communities, Inc., the land trust that Shirley and Charles Sherrod established, with other black farm families in the 1960’s. At the time, with holdings of almost 6,000 acres, this was the largest tract of black-owned land in the country. Now with a cash award of historic proportions, the group will be able to begin again.
In 1969, New Communities received a planning grant from OEO and was encouraged to expect substantial funding for implementation, but Governor Maddox would not permit further funds for the group to come into the state.
Nevertheless, New Communities built up farming operations to help retain the land. They had highway frontage where they had a farmers market to sell their crops. They raised hogs and sold the processed meat in a smokehouse they built on the highway. Their sugar cane mill on the highway also attracted customers. New Communities was ahead of the times in raising eight acres of Muscatine grapes, which are now widely grown in the area. They also farmed 1,500 acres of row crops, including corn, peanuts and soybeans.

Charles and Shirley Sherrod, and others formed New Communities, Inc. – the nation’s very first community land trust
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and othergovernmental agencies did not grant loans or allow the restructuring of existingloans. This factor, when combined with debt and a drought, led New Communitiesto lose all of its land by 1985. However, the story was not over
A lawsuit was launched, claiming discrimination by the USDA. In 2009, nearlyforty years after the founding of New Communities, an historic cash settlementwas awarded. New Communities is slated to receive nearly 13 million dollars,mostly for loss of land and income.
Not just racism - these people are out to get “whitey” and they want to “kill cracker babies.”
Keep watching TV and you will be supporting this.
Should we hold our breath until the racist hack, Shirley Sherrod, tax leech and gov’t payroll extraordinaire, is fired?
