NAACP member racist comments

You are such a fucking apologist! She did not work for a "group" that helped predominately black farmers. She worked for USDA in a program that helped troubled small farmers. That she admits to using her position of power to abuse a person because he is white is inexcusable and that is why she was forced to resign.

Leave it to you to attempt to diminish what she did. Her conclusion was that he, the white farmer, was better helped by "his own" meaning white guy lawyer. Though she admitted that she could have helped much more than she did, she chose not to because he was white...period end of story... and she is now thankfully off the government payroll!


She mentions "the first time" a white farmer came to ask her for help. If you check out her bio, this woman worked for the Federation of Southern Cooperatives/Land Assistance Fund since 1985. As a preliminary matter, I think it likely that in her 25 years working for an organization dedicated to helping farmers, predominantly black farmers, keep their land a white person or two came to the organization for help.

Second, she gave a clear date marker in her remarks, mentioning that at the time of this event Chapter 12 of the Bankruptcy Act had just been enacted. Chapter 12 was enacted in 1986. In 1986, she worked for the SCLAF. None of this has anything to do with her working as the USDA.
 
And for those who wonder why a private group to help black farmers keep their land was necessary in the mid-80s just do some basic research on the recent USDA settlement with black farmers.

The dishonesty of this particular attack is remarkable.

What's remarkable is the lack of common sense you seem to have..

Are you justifying reverse discrimination?

No, I'm not. Are you saying that you are offended that in 1986 this woman worked at a cooperative that existed to help out black farmers (who for decades were discriminated against by the USDA) and only helped out a white farmer a little bit and not to the fullest extent possible and learned from the experience that rural poverty is an issue bigger than race?

No,,, I'm more focused on her "good old boy" mentality. Not to mention her own commen sense of why she would be so dumb as to make such statements in public.

OK, I was wrong about who she predominately served. That said, so what! This does not change the fact that she was a person who was in a position of power to help rural small farmers get government help. She acknowledges that she had to help him some because she knew he was likely referred by the USDA. It also does not change that her attitude and susequent behavior was racist.

She desreved to be fired. I guess that works against her theory of why you should work for the government...


Her full comments about the incident:
SHIRLEY SHERROD: The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he took a long time talking; but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing, but he had 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.

I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farm land. 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 so that when he -- I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture. And, uh, he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him. So, I took him to a white lawyer that had attended some of the training that we had provided because Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farm. So I figured if I take him to one of them that his own kind would take care of him.

That's when it was revealed to me that it's about the poor versus those who have. It's not so much about white. It is about white and black but it's not, you know, it opened my eyes. Because I took him to one of his own.

You're really an apologist

LOL liberals: How do they work?
 
You know what, this is bullshit. She was talking about something that happened about 25 years ago while she worked for a group that focuses exclusively on helping out black farmers.

I want to see the entire video of her remarks because in the video that I saw she seemed to be indicating that following this incident she looked at the issue of struggling farmers not as a racial issue but a rural poverty issue.

So basically; she was a racist, before she wasn't a racist?? :palm:

Can you imagine the screams of bigottry and racism; if this had been a white person commenting on how they didn't help a Black farmer, to the best of their ability, and how he would be better helped "by his own"!! :palm:

So you're saying she lied!! :good4u:

What's more remarkable, is that you're nothing more then an apologist for the Liberal left.
 

Her statement means what? She admitted to using the color of a mans skin to descriminate against him when she was in a position of power! That's the long and short of it nigey. She was forced out of the USDA with cause and good riddance. If she was transformed good for her...but it changes not what she did which was racist.

A person can steal and then spend years volunteering to try and make-up for it...it does not change that they are still answerable to their theft.

She chose to use her job as a means to vent her racism and delight at finally being able to control Cracker's life in her hands. Pay back's a BIG FAT BITCH, tyvm!

Nigel will always try to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear with anything opposite his looney left beliefs.
 
This whole bit of 'You're a racist," "No, you are a racist..." has way worn out its welcome for me. I know that it's just beginning though. Obama's presidency has not lessened, but increased the racial divide in this country.

Simple enough for me to understand why 95% of the blacks that voted in 2008 voted for him. I doubt the Irish Catholic vote was much different for JFK in 1960. That doesn't mean that 95% of blacks agree with all he does, though many paranoid 'white folk' seem to see it that way.

OTOH there are all these 'groups' that are trying to blame 'the man', (who now looks more like them than ever before) on all their ills. It's simply time for those that agree with mores join together whether as liberals, conservatives, libertarians, greens, regardless of skin color. Time too to stop with the excuses.
