This whole controversy is taken way out of context. She's talking about how she overcame her racism and, in her words, learned that it was about "rich versus poor." She's trying to defend this white farmer by the end of the clip!

---

how exactly is not helping him but instead shuffling him off to a white attorney because he's 'one of their kind' overcoming racism

---

Watch the entire video. It's clear you have not.

She busted her ass to help the farmer get his bankruptcy and keep the farm.

---

Busted her ass to get somebody else to pay for his farm welfare?  You have a pretty fucked up idea about what busting ass entails.

---

And you have a pretty fucked up idea about what reality entails.

Oh yeah, Spooner really stuck it to whitey. Since it's clear you're not familiar with the background of the story, an interview was given with Eloise Spooner, the wife of the farmer in question who considers Sherrod a "friend for life." The article says that Sherrod worked tirelessly on her behalf to help her keep the farm. Read it. 

But it's clear you're just happy jumping on the reverse racism bandwagon without any information whatsoever to impede you. Did you even think to double check Breitbart's ignorant bullshit before you vomited this thread onto to the politics forum? Of course not.

What's even more hilarious is when you said "I hope the white farmer sues the living shit out of her." You fail really hard buddy.

You have been caught in a lie. I don't expect you to acknowlege your mistake.

The full version was available at the time of his post, he just chose to post selective two minute clips framing Sherrod as a racist.

Available from whom? The NAACP seemed to have some difficulty locating the whole thing.

Breitbart didn't film the event. Someone sent him that section of tape, which he then trumpeted to the blogosphere as an indictment not of Sherrod, but of the NAACP members applauding her self-confessed racism. A number of conservative bloggers who watched it thought something was a little off (The Anchoress, for one), and reserved judgment till they had had a chance to see the whole thing. Even Glenn Beck was on Sherrod's side.

But it took almost two days before the entire clip surfaced. Neither the White House nor the NAACP thought it worthwhile to wait for the whole tape, though - they jumped all over Sherrod. Ironically enough, Ben Jealous - the NAACP president who was slamming Sherrod the hardest - was an audience member of that speech. Was he even listening to what she said? Apparently not.

If, as you say, the tape was not available then Breitbart owes the public an immediate retraction and apology for his erroneous article. What appears and what seems more likely is that the clips were selectively edited to smear Sherrod and the NAACP. 

What evidence do you have to support this assertion though? The NAACP didn't seem to have any trouble finding this tape. Did you notice they were the source of the video I posted above?

Who gives a shit about what the NAACP said? The NAACP buckled under political pressure and tossed one of its own under the bus. Nothing shocking there.

the story she tells

regardless, can I rob a bank, return the money and 20 years later
confess without seeing some repercussions, the woman's racism had no
place in government, it's unfortunate that with each passing year
there's more and more anti white racism and so many continue to try
to deny it

Here's the thing.

If you want to go back and forth on this, tit-for-tat, well..  that just means that at no point should white people have ever freed the slaves and decided to try to move past racism.  what you're saying is, basically, so long as there's more than one skin color on this earth we must always, constantly, eternally, be fighting with each other.

If you want to not be discriminated against, you first should not discriminate against others.  End of story.  I've met, and I'm sure nothing will change in the future, far far more racist and prejudiced black people than white people.

oh this is bullshit, the same reason that people who voted for obama only so that we could live in some pseudo post-racial times. why the hell should we care about the skin color of a president who is only half-white by the way. only policies should matter, i personally expected the first black president to be a tough on crime republican as a tool for the republicans to show they are not racist or so. similar how they use palin and constantly throw the sexist card then bullshit how only the liberals are using the racist,sexist,homophobic accusation.

She was racist in her youth 24 years ago and grew out of it. Get over it. Clearly the farmer's family did.

Also you have once again revealed that you are not familiar with the facts of this incident. She was not in "government" as you said when this incident occurred but was working for a non-profit organisation called the Federation of Southern Cooperatives Land Assistance Fund. Please try again.

Fantastic work in taking this out of context YET AGAIN. She was describing her feelings at the time not what she thinks now! You so desperately want her to be a racist that, like Breitbart, you're willing to be liberal with the truth.

Um, how about the fact that she actually helped the farmer keep his land and became a lifelong friend of the family. Yeah, sounds like a real bigot to me. Get real.

Vilsack threw her under the bus since he, like most members of the Obama Administration, is a gigantic pussy. The moment controversy came he threw up his hands and immediately fired her without even talking to her, the NAACP, the farmer's family or anyone.

Now it's widely acknowledged that the story was based on heavily edited video tape and there's talk of Sherrod getting her job back. The only people that still back the assertions of the original story are a very special collection of fringe crazies. Hell, even Glenn Beck left your camp.

After all the bullshit that Breitbart put out collapsed all you're left is grasping at straws. Quite pathetic.
