Let poor Shirley speak for herself.

"You know, I haven't seen such a mean-spirited people as I've seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn't it surface? Now, we endured eight years of the Bush's and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President."

In my estimation, these comments are even more important than the part of the tape in qustion. So if she was trying to indicate she got over her racism, what do these things say? The ocmment about Health care, Obama and racism is later on in the same speech. This makes it clear she HASN’T changed. And the comment about trying to go back to the time of slavery is just totally insane. I think she may be misguided, but every time she tries to explain herself she digs herself into a bigger hole.
