I hope this video goes viral. It's time to expose Racism.
Can’t wait to hear the response from the NAACP and its defenders......cause all I hear currently is the sound of hypocrite color-blind crickets.....go figure. =.=
No excuses...Fire her.
A FEDERAL OFFICIAL REJOICING she caused a white farmer to lose his home.
CELEBRATING!!!!!!
If this was reversed the MSM would be screaming for the president’s resignation.
(Kagan would have no problem with this)
Will this thing get fired? Placing bets?
Beyond disgusting.
Beyond the shock of her racist comments, I noticed that she made a statement about learning that it is not about race, but about money. In other words, she was schooled by someone that to be a good progressive/revolutionary, that economic justice and social justice are the motivating factors.
So, in her words, the race battles have been replaced by the more progressive social and economic battles. If we are to stay in the game, we need to change our tactics as well.

That was powerful, but as we both know nothing will happen to this woman from the NAACP. They tolerate systemic racism in their own and excoriate it elsewhere.
Blog about this and write letters to the editor. It will DESTROY Obama in 2012, especially in context with the racist content of “Dreams From My Father.”
Transcript:
--"The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he took a long time talking but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing, but he had come to me for help. What he didn't know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me was, I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him," Sherrod said.
--"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough," Sherrod said. "So that when he, I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him."
Great post. Thanks.
Up at Drudge, Headline : Racism At NAACP Event?
Can you say “Law Suit”
It will be interesting to see how much the MSM covers this, given the coverage they gave to NAACP racial accusations against the Tea Party.
There’s nothing newsworthy about a black person acting in a discriminatory manner towards a white person. It happens all the time.
BOOM!
She has resigned - good riddance
WOW! Thanks to whoever took that video and shared it.
EXCELLENT! GO ANDREW!!!
