USDA Official Saying She Didn't Give 'Full Force' of Help to White Farmer

For the past week, Americans who consider themselves aligned with the Tea Party movement have suffered the indignity of being falsely labeled racist by the NAACP and their pro-bono publicity managers, the main stream media. The constant calls to “repudiate the racists from your ranks” have not only been insulting, but have also served to force a false standard upon America’s fastest-growing and most vibrant political movement that no other group could ever live up to nor would ever be asked to live up to.

We are in possession of a video from in which Shirley Sherrod, USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, speaks at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia. In her meandering speech to what appears to be an all-black audience, this federally appointed executive bureaucrat lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.

Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.

Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn't Give 'Full Force' of Help to White Farmer

(excerpt)

Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy -- video that now has forced the official to resign.

Shirley Sherrod, the department's Georgia director of Rural Development, is shown in the clip describing "the first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm." Sherrod, who is black, claimed the farmer took a long time trying to show he was "superior" to her. The audience laughed as she described how she determined his fate.

"He had to 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," she said. "I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have 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."

The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after FoxNews.com published its initial report on the video, that Sherrod had resigned.

===============================================================

Breitbart confirms the resignation.  So much for the "post-racial" crap.

Didn't 0baMao say to judge him by the people he surrounds himself with?? So, I think we can safely assume that he is a bigot, a liar and a thief.......

We can certainly start there...and add on Van Jones, Soros, Andy Stern, Tim Geitner, etc., etc., etc...

[Kimberly]

She's resigned.

[Lacarnut]

I betcha 99% of the NAACP members in attendance did not think her statements were racist.

[docstew]

any bets on whether she'll be brought up on "honest services" violations?

[rich_t]

Won't happen.

[Boudicca]

Won't happen.

It'll happen as soon as the NAACP and Zer0 come out and call HER a racist.
Oh never mind, that's for us Arizonans and the Tea Party members.

[Boudicca]

I have to wonder if this white farmer existed anywhere besides her mind.  It would be beyond hilarious if she made up a  for some street cred while screeching and preaching to the NAACP and had to resign as a result.

  Give me a friggin break what is this woman doing but to reenact the Gentleman Agreement from the 1930's.

Turn about is called fair play.

So now we Crackers,  have to face what the Catholics, Jews and blacks lived in within the life time of our grand parents.

Not nice is it, to be living the life of our ancestors now that we are on the end of the stick.

Too bad for us crackers, now we are outraged that the same thing we did to others has turned against us. We Crackers now have to explain why what was done in the past to others was OK, but in todays world is wrong to be done to us.

Funny that things have a way of turning around and biting us in the Ass.

Hey nothing to see here it happened like 24 years ago.

I'm sure if a white republican said the N word 24 years ago you would yawn about that too.

2. It's the only story on CNN
   
Some lady has been fired in Georgia for saying at an NAACP meeting earlier this year that she discriminated against a white farmer. She was talking about an incident 24 years ago.

And slavery ended over 100 years ago I bet anything this goon thinks reparations are needed for that.

And how is that a story worthy of the "news"? Breitbart is just a sh*t stirrer.

Edited: I see what the story is now. I'm at a lake house and haven't been watching TV this morning or last night.
   

*yawn* discrimination against a cracker.

That's what they want. It's called selective editing. Turns out that she did help them out and they remain friends.

uh huh I buy that.

[PatriotGame]

She's resigned.

Pathetic racist. Of course she resigned and if not for Fox News, the story would have never surfaced. If I hear a white taxpayer employee spouting off using their official job capacity to discriminate against a black person, I would immediately stand up and chew their ass to the bone then filed complaints with every government agency and media outlet I could access. The black racists in her audience? Not a chance.

These racist 'progressive' filth on the left are crossing a very thin line in this nation and will find themselves in over their heads. So much for 0bama uniting everyone.

So the racist actions of YOUR ancestors justifies discrimination against me?
You ignorant ****! Bad behavior or crimes on ones part does NOT justify bad behavior or crimes on another's part. That is nothing short of anarchy and there is NOTHING to justify it.

Take your white guilt back to your sewer where it belongs.

If some militant Black Panther caved your head in with their club, I would blink nary an eye. "Biting us (you) in the ass" as it is...

Liberal white guilt is EXACTLY why we are saddled with that asshole Zer0 for president.  Affirmative action at its worst.

So the new rule is....."Do unto others as has been done unto your ancestors, keep doing it and never let up lest it be done unto you again."

OK, I got it.

Since when did two wrongs start making a right?

Oh, and for the record, I'm Catholic.  Does that mean I now have to discriminate against myself?  Or am I not as "protected" as some other folks?

Here's a wild ****ing idea--how about just letting all the shit drop and start off from zero again?  Ever consider that possibility?  Many of the minorities in this country today haven't endured racism or discrimination (well, unless self-inflicted.)  Likewise, many of the white people/males/straights/whatever have never subjected anyone to any form of racism or discrimination.

So now it's somehow "fair" to shove our nose in the shit for what we never did?  Nope--try again.

Sherrod: White House worried about Glenn Beck

(CNN) – In an interview with CNN, Sherrod said she repeatedly fielded calls on Monday during a long car ride, during which officials insisted that she pull over to the side of the road and quit her post.

"They asked me to resign, and, in fact, they harassed me as I was driving back to the state office from West Point, Georgia yesterday," Sherrod told CNN. "I had at least three calls telling me the White House wanted me to resign…and the last one asked me to pull over to the side of the road and do it."

Sherrod said the final call came from Cheryl Cook, an undersecretary at the Department of Agriculture. Sherrod said White House officials wanted her to quit immediately because the controversy was "going to be on Glenn Beck tonight."

Sherrod Blames NAACP For Firing

The Agriculture Department official who has resigned after a video surfaced showing her saying she withheld assistance from a white farmer insisted on Tuesday that she really lost her job over the tea party’s clash with the NAACP...

The former Agriculture Department official also said she never heard from the NAACP to hear her side of the story prior to its statement on the video. “The NAACP has not tried to contact me one time, and that's why this happened,” she said. “I would have appreciated having the NAACP at least contact me … to try to get the truth about what happened.”.

Stupid bitch. You got caught voicing your true views. Live it, love it, own it.

Wonder what her DU name is.

[rich_t]

She changed her mind about being interviewed on Fox.

 

[thundley4]

This has got to be confusing the hell out of the DUmmies. Glenn Beck is defending her on his TV show. 

[Eupher]

Well, it had been some time since the next Obamaite found themselves under the LZ Bus......

[PatriotGame]

She changed her mind about being interviewed on Fox.

 

...only because the NAACP told her to do so...
