She got what she deserved. Even if she helped whites as much as is possible, it still does not negate her racist speech in front of the other racists.
The contention is that the speech was an historical account of how a business meeting took place nearly 25 years ago. Her statements of racism were related to how she felt during the meeting. The contention is also that the rest of the tape would reveal a change of heart on her part resulting in her meeting the needs of the “white folks”. That part is substantiated by Georgia farmers who stepped forward to vouch for her actions which saved their farm.
That being said, the reaction of the crowd during the speech would certainly indicate that her racist sentiments were blessed by those in attendance. When she said she intended to not help those folks all she could, they nodded and voiced approval.
Do you realize that the she was reportedly pointing out how she thought 24 years ago--and that event turned her viewpoint (and that she's friends with the farmer now--that they credit her with saving their farm)?
It remains to be seen from when the full tape is released, but the evidence seems strong that she is telling the truth.
I agree with you, she has to go because of what she said in front of a camera. What’s good for Don Imus is good for her. By the way I don’t hear any outrage about this racist rant from the “Justice Brothers”, Al Sharpton and Jesse “Shake Em Down” Jackson.
