Enough of the Racism



I am sick to death of hearing about all the accusations of racism. Prior to the election of the first black president, nobody was discussing race except the typical race-baiters, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. It's like we're reliving the 60's without the violence.

When I first heard the story about Shirley Sherrod and her racist comment which was taken out of context, I actually felt sorry for her. However, I no longer feel sympathy for the woman. She is nothing more than a race-baiter. I take that back; she is more than a race-baiter as she has accused those who oppose Obama’s “let grandma die” healthcare plan of being racists. It's the socialized medicine we object to, not the black president leading the charge.

The far-left woman is also a commie who promotes class warfare. How many people do you know who have named their child “Russia”? My, she fits in perfectly with the rest of the Obama Administration.

Not surprisingly, the American Pravda has made this incident all about Andrew Breitbart and Fox News. What does Fox News have to do with this? A little too obsessed with Glenn Beck, aren't they? I suppose they knew Beck would cover this story because he's one of the few who hold Obama and his minions accountable for their actions.

Breitbart has had this video clip since April and chose to release it now because of the unfair classifying of Tea Partiers as racists. The NAACP, the real racists here, were quick to laugh when she confessed that she treated the white farmer unfairly. Where’s the outrage over their reaction to her comment? Of course, Sherrod is quick to say that there was no laughter over her comment from those at the NAACP. Liar!

And speaking of Breitbart, he offered $100,000 to anyone who could come up with a tape that showed racism by Tea Partiers during the incident at the Capitol with John Lewis during the healthcare debate. Surprise, surprise, not a soul has come forth with evidence and claimed the big prize. Apparently, the great civil rights hero John Lewis is also a liar.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack lied when he said the White House was not involved in the decision to fire Sherrod. If that were the case, then why did she say the following:

“’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.’”

Why would Shirley mention the involvement by the White House if it were not the case? Vilsack is covering for Obama.

Interesting that this surfaces as we remember the event that occurred last year at this time when President Obama was quick to rush to judgment without all the facts when he accused the Cambridge police officer of “acting stupidly”. It seems Obama and his regime “acted stupidly” when they rushed to can Sherrod before getting all the facts.

Incidentally, Shirley Sherrod and her husband's group New Communities, Inc, sued and received $13 million in the Pigford vs. USDA lawsuit claiming racial discrimination. Is this a case of reparations?

What’s most disturbing is the fact that this nonsense is a huge distraction from Obama's destructive policies which is what we should all be discussing.

Nobody in YOUR circle of friends may have been discussing race relations, Ms. MoreLies, but you live in a pristine white Republican fantasyworld... either Stepford or Pleasantville. (Cue the "I have a lot of Negro friends" comments from Ms. MoreLies.)

We're not RELIVING the 60s... we're trying to grow PAST the 60s. Some folks seem to think that civil rights were finalized in the 60s and that nothing more need be done... and most of them are white.

What does Faux Noise have to do with this? Oh, I don't know. Could it be Faux' website posted this story right off of NotSoBrightbart's website Monday morning, and kept up the drumbeat all day? Or Bill O'Reilly choosing to lead his program with the story on Monday night, calling for her firing? (To O'Reilly's credit, he apologized the next day.) Or Sean Hannity following that up in the next hour, interviewing Newt Gingrich, who applauded her firing? And then Dana Perino (Bushie's ex-press secretary) subbing for Greta van Susteren, talking up the story? And then, the next morning, Faux and Friends piling on?

Yeah, other than that, Faux had NOTHING to do with this story.

NotSoBrightbart MANUFACTURED this story and slimed a good woman, simply to "justify" his Teabagger friends. You tell me: how does "proving" the NAACP (or any other group, for that matter) is racist "prove" that the Teabaggers are NOT racist? That's nothing mre than a second grader wailing "But he does it too!" on the playground when the teacher catches him doing something wrong.

NotSoBrightbart clearly intended to mislead viewers, and he got caught at it. Faux is sooooo tied into the Teabagger movement that it jumped in with both feet without looking or caring if it was true or not. And the administration incorrectly jumped too fast because they were trying to prove that they had no tolerance for racism within the administration.

As for Vilsack covering for Obama, you can't make that assumption based on what Sherrod says about her conversations with Cook. It seems pretty plausible that Cook would intimate to Sherrod that this call was being made "high up" which may have led Sherrod to believe it was the White House. Maybe Cook thought it was the White House and said so to Sherrod, when in fact it was Vilsack. Or maybe somebody in the White House actually put pressure on. One thing is almost for sure: odds are the President of the United States didn't get involved with this issue at that early moment. It may have been some lower level guy in the White House, trying to "solve" the problem before it was even brought to Obama's attention.

As for what the Pigford case is about, why not READ about it, instead of speculating that it's about "reparations" which is, of course, code for black people trying to get money from white people that they're not entitled to. Who's race-baiting and promoting class warfare with talk of "reparations", Ms. MoreLies? From what I've seen, that lawsuit is about decades of racial discrimination against blacks by the Department of Agriculture. "Damages" is the correct term, ma'am.

And this issue isn't a distraction. It caught rightwingnut bloggers and Faix Noise square in the headlights, and they're blinking as rapidly as the proverbial deer. THAT'S the issue, finally!

And if you doubt that Faux Noise did all this, rightwingnuts, feel free to see the clips on YouTube:

This woman is a prime example of the racism blacks harbor in America. Do you honestly think racism only occurs in a white persons mind? Blacks have the problem of "looking a gift horse in the mouth". And do you honestly think NBC is an honest network? They are 100% liberal. America will end up a third world country if things don't change, and promoting class warfare does not help. A black doesn't have the right to the fruits of my labor just because he is a black and i am white. The taxpayers of all races are the new slaves, by design. shirley sherrod is not a good woman, she is a racist idiot who feels she is entitled based on her race. And all her naacp friends seemed to agree with her remarks and cheered her on. But you turn a blind eye to this bacause it doesn't fit your agenda. You are a gov't employee idiot of the highest order, just like sherrod. Bash the folks paying the bills, what a concept!!!

JustaDumbass, of course there are racists of all different colors. Sherrod's whole story was about how she had been looking at her job through a prism of race, before she realized it had less to do with race and more to do with socioeconomic status.

What does the "honesty" of NBC have to do with this? NBC ha virtually nothing to do with this story. It was Faux serving up the lies and CNN countering with the truth.

You claim Sherrod "is a racist idiot who feels she is entitled based on her race". Really? Where did you get that insight from? What, exactly, did she say that justifies that conclusion you reached? I didn't hear anything that suggested she felt entitled to anything, except maybe receiving basic fairness in the system.

"And all her naacp friends seemed to agree with her remarks and cheered her on." Actually, while NotSoBrightbart made that claim, he's flat out wrong. Listen to the tape. There's a couple of voices that seem to be murmuring assent to her early race-based judgments, but there's certainly nothing remotely like "cheering" goging on, and the whole audience did nothing to indicate that they all agreed with her approach. SHE ultimately disagreed with her own approach!

No, sadly, justaDumbass, you have clearly given yourself away with this latest comment. In the past, you played along with the "I'm not a racist" routine, and you complained about lazy people who took advantage of government largesse, while you had to work your butt off. But this time, you took off the gloves (or,more symbolically, your hood) and exposed your TRUE thoughts:

"A black doesn't have the right to the fruits of my labor just because he is a black and i am white."

For you, it's all about those lazy black bastards stealing from hard-working white folk, ain't it, cracker?

Good to see you're out of the closet.
