Nor am I surprised to be taking the opposite posiition than you on the issue of civil rights. However, Sherrod's comments at the NAACP dinner, whether in context or out of context, are completely unacceptable on a number of different levels. Unlike you, she gets no free pass from me on that score. However, again unlike you I entirely support her right and the rural farm cooperative's right to seek legal redress for past discrimination, especially as it seems to have been a 'systematic' problem for black farmers throughout the rural South.
Your vaunted Ms Sherrod who actually got 300,000 of the 13 million awarded to her co-op for racial discrimination is a shakedown artist and is now preparing to sue Andrew Breitbart. Does that make you happy too?
Lol! I guess Ms. Sherrod just doesn't know her place huh?
-btw I don't fault Breitbart for editing the 43 minute video, but he clearly identifies the offensive comments as being made in Sherrod's current capacity as a USDA employee which is false.
IMO Breitbart loses alot of ground with this stunt. Whether or not Sherrod can make a case against him remains to be seen, since Breitbart did nothing more than post the video online with some misleading written comments. Furthermore, BigGovernment's video did include some of the so-called exculpatory comments Sherrod made, contrary to what some liberal outposts are claiming.
My guess is she sues the USDA for firing her, and she wins.
You can always be found on the "black" side here even if it defies conservatism.
Lol! Who knows wtf that's supposed to mean, but it sounds like your problem not mine.
My guess is she sues a lot of people. Who wins remains to be seen. So far everything that I’ve seen of her shows her to be a fairly shrewd opportunist.
the Sherrod tape has more to do with her own bigotry and socialist bent than it does your canard of civil rights.
but yes....damn right I do not share your views on civil rights...which means preference for blacks and punishment for whites ad infintum
it's the road to ruin and has no place in conservatism...redress for blacks has been exploited by the 1964 CRA onwards into one big racket which gives them and other minorities tyrannical power over the majority which in turn kills our ability to deal with anything non white and non Christian...and even to some degree non male and non heterosexual
it's a boondoggle and has literally killed black values culture which was quite strong in youth....you know...back when all whites were mean to blacks...that time right...before we learned to suck up and roll over....the black family...almost gone...black crime..good God, it's like a third world country
You can have your basatardized version of "civil rights", in many ways it's worse than segregation...at least on the black family and crime there is no doubt
a small burgeoning continuing liberal black middle class doesn't offset the large collapse elsewhere
