And isn't it ironic that she's telling the NAACP how she discriminated against a white farmer due to her "feelings."I would very much like to see someonefrom the Tea Party pick this up and point out the glaring double standard.

This was all over Fox News and talk radio. Apparently, the woman has resigned her position. Anyone who is shocked or surprised by this woman's attitude is a fool. It is common knowledge that blacks revel in the opportunity to gain a position of power to "stick it to the white man." My advice: don't ever get yourself in a position where you are groveling to the government for a handout.

Apparently, the incident she was referring to occurred nearly 25 years ago. Supposedly, the footage released by Fox News only shows the beginning of a story she was telling at the NAACP"¦.and in the remaining footage she purportedly states that after meeting the farmer and his wife, she realized that she shouldn't have mistreated him (due to his race) in their initial conversations.

I'm not trying to defend this woman (because whites get fired for this sort of thing every single day)...but this sort of "convenient editing"Â￾ is constantly performed by the media in order for stories to appear more "controversial"Â￾ than they actually are.

If what she claims is true (that her comments were part of a story in which she learned to quell her own racism against whites), then this it was certainly unfair than she resigned. Although it's quite likely that she was hired in order to fill a racial quota. This sort of story only adds power to the imbeciles who disallow any straight talk with concern to racial issues.

I imagine the "conservative"Â￾ media hand-chose this story in order to prove that "blacks get in trouble for racism too!"Â￾

The NAACP also condemned her actions but that's just a bunch of hogwash. The NAACP is just a racist organization with an agenda to silence with people and bring them down.

Not to defend the AA hire (& probable avowed "Liebral"), but the NAACP & the USDA were just trying to CYA (& avoid being exposed for a double-standard). Also, fyi...

Couple says fired USDA official helped save their land; USDA won't rehire

Christian Boone

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Despite being defended by the white farmer she allegedly discriminated against, former U.S. Department of Agriculture official Shirley Sherrod will not get her job back.

Sherrod "kept us out of bankruptcy," said Eloise Spooner, 82. She and her husband Roger Sooner, who own a farm in Iron City, located in southwest Georgia, approached Sherrod in 1986 -- when she worked with the Georgia field office for the Federation of Southern Cooperative/Land Assistance Fund -- seeking assistance.

Sherrod, who is black, was asked to resign Monday night by USDA Deputy Under Secretary Cheryl Cook after videotaped comments she made in March at a local NAACP banquet surfaced on the web indicating that she did not work as hard as she could on behalf of white farmers.

"The comments, taken out of context or not, hinder her ability to be an effective rural development director for Georgia," said a U.S. Agriculture spokesperson who wished not to be identified. "Because of that videotape, it would be very hard for her to to be an effective messenger."

The NAACP, which released a statement Monday critical of Sherrod, backtracked Tuesday, saying they were "snookered" by Andrew Breitbart, whose website biggovernment.com released the edited video. Breitbart did not respond to a request seeking comment.

"Having reviewed the full tape, spoken to Ms. Sherrod, and most importantly heard the testimony of the white farmers mentioned in this story, we now believe the organization that edited the documents did so with the intention of deceiving millions of Americans," NAACP President Ben Jealous said in a statement. "The tape of Ms. Sherrod's speech at an NAACP banquet was deliberately edited to create a false impression of racial bias, and to create a controversy where none existed. This just shows the lengths to which extremist elements will go to discredit legitimate opposition."

Jealous asked the USDA to reconsider Sherrod's dismissal but, in a statement, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack stood by his decision.

"First, for the past 18 months, we have been working to turn the page on the sordid civil rights record at USDA and this controversy could make it more difficult to move forward on correcting injustices," Vilsack said. "Second, state rural development directors make many decisions and are often called to use their discretion. The controversy surrounding her comments would create situations where her decisions, rightly or wrongly, would be called into question making it difficult for her to bring jobs to Georgia."

In the video, Sherrod told the crowd she didn't do everything she could to help a white farmer whom she said was condescending when he came to her for aid.

"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 on the video, recorded March 27 in Douglas in southeast Georgia.

But Spooner, who considers Sherrod a "friend for life," said the federal official worked tirelessly to help the Iron City couple hold onto their land as they faced bankruptcy back in 1986.

"Her husband told her, ‘You're spending more time with the Spooners than you are with me,' " Spooner told the AJC. "She took probably two or three trips with us to Albany just to help us out."

Spooner spoke to her friend by phone Tuesday morning.

"She's very sad about it," Spooner said. "She told me she was so glad we talked. I just can't believe this is happening to her."

Sherrod, in her first interview after the clip surfaced, told the AJC the video was selectively edited. She said the video posted online Monday by biggovernment.com and reported on by FoxNews.com and this newspaper misrepresented the message she was trying to convey.

"For Fox to take a spin on this like they have done, and know it's not the truth "¦ it's very upsetting," said Sherrod, 62, who insisted her statements in the video were not racist.

"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," Sherrod said in the video. "So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough."

She said the incident helped her move beyond issues of race.

"And I went on to work with many more white farmers," she said. "The story helped me realize that race is not the issue, it's about the people who have and the people who don't."

Sherrod accused the USDA of cowering to right-wing media.

"They were just looking at what the Tea Party and what Fox said, and thought it was too [politically] dangerous for them," Sherrod said of her former employer.

The release of Sherrod's statements came a week after the NAACP issued a resolution calling some elements of the National Tea Party racist for comments made against President Barack Obama and African-American congressmen during the health care debate.

Sherrod was appointed to her position in by Obama's administration in July 2009 to manage more than 40 housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs, and more than $114 billion in federal loans.

The AJC is working to recover the full video footage of Sherrod's speech to the Douglas NAACP. A production company, DCTV3 in Douglas, recorded the event at the local NAACP chapter's request and is waiting for the chapter's permission to release the full speech.

"We broadcast it on cable," Wilkerson said. "Somebody probably picked it up and recorded it, then put it on YouTube. That's probably why the video looks so shabby."

Sherrod said it wouldn't have made any sense for her to espouse racist comments before the NAACP audience.

"There were some white people there. The mayor [of Douglas] was there," Sherrod recalled. "Why would I do something racist if they were there?"

Mayor Jackie Wilson told the AJC she introduced speakers at the banquet but left before Sherrod's speech.

Wilson said she did not hear of any controversy in the weeks following the banquet, adding she was shocked to learn of Sherrod's resignation.

"She's not someone I know extremely well, but I respected her and thought she was doing a good job. And she seemed to be a fair person," said Wilson, who was city manager before becoming mayor 2 1/2 years ago. "I just hate that this kind of thing happened in Douglas."

Eloise Spooner told the AJC she intends to stand up for her friend.

"She helped us and we're going to help them," she said.

as the truth of this story is revealed (i offer a hat tip to Thrashen and DD), this just offers more evidence on the difficulties of living in a multi-cultural environment. it is impossible to not offend those who are determined to be offended, and scape-goated by the PTB when it suits their purposes ... even if (as Obongo has shown repeatedly) you're one of "their people."

none of these issues would ever happen if Whites and blacks didn't have to live together.

She won't lose her job after all. Big surprise. I know it was edited to look worse than it was, but the double standard remains. No way a white person keeps their job in a reverse scenario. Basically she admitted that she harbored racist feelings at least in the past. That's enough to disqualify any white person from any high government job for life.

On another note, some may remember black farmers getting paid billions via the Obama administrations settling a class action lawsuit that alleged that black farmers were denied loans designed for minorities. Don't hold your breath waiting for a similar lawsuit settlement for white farmers.

A black getting fired for racism against whites? I knew it wouldn't happen. She will most likely take her job back.

additionally, tens of thousands of these black "farmers"received these funds despite not actually being farmers at all. nor did they own land, farm equipment, or anything besides black skin that qualified them for said money. but, of course, the media didn't bother to report this ...

typical.

The double-standard is the biggest issue, followed by the hyper-sensitivity of (mostly) minorities. Everyone seems so dang quick to be "offended"...by minor, trivial things. As stated, this AA hire will be issued apologies & brought back aboard. However, dare a White man speak anything similar (against precious minoooorities) & he'd be fired, sued & prosecuted for a (Orwellian) "hate" crime by the totalitarian DOJ & DHS!

As our media is now demanding everyone apologize to this black woman, they are purposely ignoring what should be bombshells. Sherrod got her job and millions of dollars by sueing the USDA on behalf of a bogus black farmer group she invented. Oh, and her husband was and possibly is a black panther.

Check out the second video in this source. Sherrod admits she has never had an interest in the farming part of agriculture, but blacks with interests in agriculture can get free-bee jobs in the USDA and never get fired.

More keen insight from Pat Buchanan...

Obama team's panic over losing whites

Posted: July 22, 2010
7:28 pm Eastern

On Monday, the Department of Agriculture demanded the resignation of Shirley Sherrod over a two-minute videotape where she appeared to describe to a cheering crowd of the Georgia NAACP how she denied assistance to a poor white farmer about to lose his land.

Declaring itself "appalled" at this "shameful" act of racism, the NAACP said it would investigate the Georgia crowd that cheered her and praised the Department of Agriculture for firing her.

On Wednesday, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was begging for Sherrod's forgiveness, and the NAACP was burbling apologies.

For the video turned out to be an excerpt from a speech in which Sherrod described her growth from a bitter black woman whose father was murdered by a white man into one who found joy helping poor white folks keep their farms.

What was it that caused the rush to judgment by Vilsack, the NAACP and a White House that supported the ouster of Sherrod without talking to her or viewing the full tape?

Panic. The White House fears it is losing white America because of a false perception that it harbors a bias against white America.

Outrageous, rail those journalists who celebrated the NAACP's accusation that the tea party is harboring racists and is too cowardly to confront them.

Erik Rush's brand new book is bold, daring and needed: "Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal - America's Racial Obsession"

Yet, as things perceived as real are real in their consequences, if the White House does not eradicate this perception, its lease may not be renewed. Whence comes that perception? Several incidents.

First was the startling accusation by Attorney General Eric Holder, days after Barack Obama was inaugurated in a gusher of good feeling, that we are all "a nation of cowards" when it comes to facing issues of race.

A real icebreaker for a national conversation.

Second was the instantaneous verdict of the president, when asked about the arrest of Harvard's Henry Louis Gates by Cambridge cop Sgt. James Crowley. With no knowledge of what happened, Obama blurted out that the cops had "acted stupidly."

It took a White House beer summit to detoxify that one.

A third was the revelation that Obama's first Supreme Court nominee, Judge Sonia Sotomayor, the "wise Latina" herself, had gone to extremes to see that the case of Frank Ricci and the New Haven, Conn., firefighters never got to the Supreme Court. Ricci and co-defendants had been denied promotions they had won in competitive exams solely because they were white and no black firemen had done as well.

The fourth was the Justice Department's dropping of charges against members of the New Black Panther Party, whose intimidation of voters in Philadelphia had been captured on tape.

When a department official resigned in protest and went to the Civil Rights Commission to accuse officials at Justice of ordering staff attorneys not to pursue such cases, that explosive charge, too, was ignored by Justice.

Came then the NAACP smear that the tea party was harboring racists, which Joe Biden explicitly rejected on national television on Sunday, before the Monday firestorm over Sherrod.

Now, whatever one's views on each of these episodes in which race played a role, white Americans are being forced to address them. And, surely, the White House understands this is bad news for Obama and the Democratic Party.

For though the black community remains solidly behind Obama and the white majority is shrinking toward minority status by 2042 or 2050, depending on which Census survey one uses, whites in America still outnumber blacks five to one. And if forced constantly to come down on one side or the other of a racial divide, most folks will wind up with their own.

In past elections, Democrats have raised race â€" allegations that black churches were being torched in the South, that George W. Bush's opposition to a hate-crimes bill meant he was coldly indifferent to the dragging death of a handicapped black man â€" to solidify and energize the minority vote. And, today, that vote remains solid behind Obama.

Where the erosion is taking place is in white America, among working- and middle-class folks who voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries but took a chance with Obama in the fall. Now, every time some new incident erupts, these folks are being tarred.

Opposition to affirmative action is racist. Supporting the tea party gives aid and comfort to racists. Opposing health care puts you in league with folks who used racial slurs on Rep. John Lewis. To raise the issue of the New Black Panther Party is to play the race card.

One understand the bitterness of tea-party folks who carry signs that read: "What difference does it make what this placard says? You'll call it racist anyway."

As the National Journal's Ron Brownstein has been reporting, white America is increasingly alienated and distrustful of all our major economic and political power centers â€" the banks, big corporations, the government.

And, for the first time in our lifetimes outside the South, white racial consciousness has visibly begun to rise.

Pat Buchanan is a great American and he once again nails it with this piece. I really hope his assessment in the last sentence about white racial awareness on the rise outside of the South is true. God knows we need that amongst the DWFs when it comes to sports, but at this point, I'll take whatever we can get.

Pat Buchanan is one of the few pundits that gets it right, column after column. foobar75 your right with your last post, his last sentence "For the first time in our lifetimes outside the south, white racial consciousness has visibly began to rise." It is about friggen time.

i don't care about what this mook said or did.
i don't care if she keeps her job or not.
i don't care about the double standard.

what i care about is organizing and building white power. the reclamation of the united states of america as a white country is a lost cause. it's time to focus and start anew.

Great response! as usual from the CF "rookie" of the year!

Spot on analysis of the self importance of govt. officials. One of the most heartwarming trends of late is the woefully low esteem that public polling has discovered for all branches of govt. Only in the govt. media is any importance placed in those dim witted imbeciles. It is a sympathetic parasitic relationship between the servant media and the master political class (or vise versa). The failures of both will eventually lead to a better future for us (hopefully).

Your post reminds me of a recent piece by Fred Reed:

Help, Oh Help, Oh Help, Oh....

Looking back on a disordered life that I occasionally package as journalism, but that actually has more in common with the path of a large ball-bearing through a pinball machine, I don't really think I will slit my wrists. Though it has its appeal. I mean, it's unnerving to sail through the vastness of an unasked-for universe, round and round a minor sun, on a ball of rock with billions of people, none of whom are adults.



Let me explain. (Or maybe don't. Some things it is better not to know. Like who or what is running the country.) Point is, I have now passed sixty-four years on this curious planetary golf ball. This fact carries an epistemological burden. You no longer believe that Mother knows best. You are Mother, which is scary.


When you are fifteen, or twenty-five, you almost per force believe that your elders know best. They mustâ€"mustn't they? Doesn't someone have to? Adolescent rebellion is a pose, but Henry Kissinger sounds like a Nazi bass drum and you figure he must know something.


At sixty-four, you don't have a lot of elders. Besides, they mostly have Alzheimer's. When you are older than our rulers, you take a dim view of august official turkeys. Dumb-ass kids. You look at a corrupt old hen like Nancy Pelosi pecking at bugs in the national barn yard and think, "Oh help."Â Even if she is older than sixty-four.


Shorn of the ennobling aura of personal antiquity, they are straight out of a high-school yearbook, only all wrinkled, like raisins. Secretary of State Clinton? She;s just the pushy gal who made class presidentâ€"moderately bright, OK legs at the time, never lived outside the US (unless you count Arkansas), speaks no foreign languages. Yes, she has a few credentials of a sort most people would hide: former First Basilisk and now retired housewife, but"¦but"¦she's just an over-promoted twit, your generic Prom Queen who went to Princeton or somewhere. BFD. And she's running foreign policy?


Now, journalism: It's a weird gig inside the Beltway. (See? I assume you know that I mean Washington's Beltway. And that I mean Washington, DC, not the real Washington out there with California and Oregon. It's how we journalists think. It's because we are the center of the world.)


The beltway is where everything happens, where the power is, the networks and Congress and L.A.s are. (Legislative assistants: bright kids on the Hill who have no idea what they are doing either).


I somehow fell into this tar pit as a mid-rank journalist of no importance. To be a Journalist of Importance, you have to choose a clear ideological delusion, either Ann Coulter or Nat Hentoff, and screech and yell whatever your lock-step brainless readers want to hear. I just wanted to kill them all. In retrospect I think this a wise decision, but it was not career-enhancing.


As a nobody, but with columns in papers and magazines read within the Beltway, you meet or spew bile against or know of closely, or interview or suck up to, all sorts of people who shape policy. It gets to be a sort of closed club. It is strange to sit here in a small town in Mexico and realize that I know, however slightly or sometimes well, a fair proportion of the names that appear in the news.


Now, if this sounds like name-dropping, it isn'tâ€"which is precisely my point. Reporters don't meet Important People because we news weasels are meritorious, but because the press enjoys power all out of proportion to its worth. If people knew reporters as well as I do, they would emigrate. You could take a blind cocker spaniel with a low IQ and give him, her, or it a press card from the Washington Post, and in three weeks every pol in the city would kiss up to the beast, who would develop delusions of grandeur.


It's the reporter's disease: You come to believe that the Secretary of the Air Force wants a press breakfast with you because he respects the depth of your thought. No. He thinks you are an idiot, and in all likelihood loathes you, but he knows that what you write will show up in the White House clips.


Of course, the reporter may not be all that impressed with the Secretary either. The horrible truth is that the sharpers, martial Boy Scouts, and elephantine pundits who run the world are not much more impressive than the narcissistic twits who write about them. The trick is not to take yourself seriously, since nobody else does. I'm just an upper-middle-brow mutt who discovered, as the great Hunter Thompson said, that "journalism is a ticket to ride."Â I rode. Ask not what you casn do for journalism, but what journalism can do for you. DC is a boss-mama cow if you know how to milk it.


Think about that last sentence, because it is how Washington works.


However, what does matter is what I saw in Washington for thirty years: My high-school graduating class, up-brained a bit and down-moraled. None of us was up to the job of running a laundromat, much less a country. Some were slimier, others not stupid but so wildly attached to some loon ideology, or to themselves. There was an anchorwoman you might recognize who lived in Georgetown (no end toney) and spent her time slobbering drunk and falling over things.


So you meet all these people who start wars and steal anything they can lift and vote for bills they haven't read, and you realize that they are messianic wingnuts or self-seekers and pork-gatherers. A fair few are lightning smart, but remember that most of the truly disastrous decisions are made by very bright people. Hitler was brilliant, but the Thousand Year Reich ended six years later with the Red Army in Berlin. How smart was that?


So once age and realism have eroded any expectation of adulthood or good sense, you realize that there is no hope. The limbic urges that power Washington are exactly those that you would find up some forgotten holler in West Virginia, at Jimbo's Pool Hall and Rib Pit.


"Tell you what, Lou Bob,"Â says Jimmy Jack Fergweiler, leaning against the bar like a bridge getting ready to collapse, "We gotta smack hell out of them Islams or they gonna land in Wheeling. They got this book says we're in-fiddles and they gotta kill in-fiddles. Gimme some change for the juke box. Ain't heard Merle for a while."Â


That's what half of the Yankee Capital thinks, and just about how they think it though in marginally better grammar. But put them on CBS with a few details scraped up for authenticity, like where Tehran is, and the whole country thinks they know what they're doing.


Dammit, I will slit my wrists.

After all the apologies to the racist Sherrod, a new video of her husband spewing anti-white hatred emerges. Shirley Sherrod has now said that she is going to sue Andrew Breitbart for showing snippets of her speaking. I can't imagine how that is crime. If so, every political attack add needs to be prosecuted. Here's the latest video on Charles Sherrod:

Charles Sherrod whitey hater

And as I type this one of the attractive female host on the financial channel is swooning over how President Obama being the most fit president ever. Yuk!
