Bwahahahaha! USDA official resigns amid race controversy

[Truthmatters]

The full force of what she could do was not in the job discription.

The thing you fail to see is she then went back to these people and did do everything and indeed saved their farm and the Old couple she went back and helped ADORE HER!

She did what the job required at first and then had a revelation that it was about being poor and not about skin.

The story she told made that clear but the right wing media only showed the part that made her look racist.

This is not going to help the right win elections folks , its going to kill your party if you keep lapping up these stories on a knee jerk basis.

I'm beginning to truly hate the dems and the reps. None of them seem to believe that anybody in this world can think for themselves.

It will kill the republican party to keep using tacitics like this.

They keep getting caught altering tapes and lying about the full story.

The moment she brought race into it,she exposed herself as a racist. I would say this about anyone who brings race into their decision making process at work. Race has nothing to do with her doing her job. She should have been let go. It was the right decision. I don't care that CNN (Clinton News Network)/(Communist News Network) is now defending her. They have their own agenda so i don't believe much of anything they say at this point. It would actually be refreshing to see CNN defend someone with an 'R' in front of their name once in awhile. Don't hold your breath waiting for that though.

I am insulted by your spin of what I said. It is an attempt on your part to call me a racist, when, in fact, there was nothing racial meant by what I said....and can only be taken that way with spin and someone ONLY hearing or reading your spin.

And yes, THAT is exactly how it happens.

But whatever works for you is fine with me.

But I again say, in my years I have never referred to someone by their race unless someone asked me their race. I have an accountant, an attorney, a landscaper, a contractor, a host of friends, an auto mechanic, a paper delivery person....etc.,...etc.
I never say I have a white landscaper or a balck accountant.

Anyone who does, such as you did, is pathetic.

I'm sorry that you are so cowed that you think black people can't be referred to as black people.

I'm just curious to know why Brietbart has now released another edited tape targeting black people.

Your implication is disgusting.

It is people like you who intentionally twist the meaning of ones sentiments to imply racism that ihas created the problem with our racial relations today.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

I do not refer to people by race just like I dont refer to them by religion. It is not out of fear. It is based on my not really caring about ones race or religion...just as I dont refer to people based on their weight.

Do you believe it is OK to refer to someone as "the fat one"

How about "the fat jewish woman standing next to that big chested black woman"

Is that how it should be done?

What kills me is the inference here that the White House would have fired or asked this women to resign over a film from the “right wing” web site. NO questions asked. Makes no sensse at all. Why not just say—here is the real tape/whole tape that was altered to show something that was not.

Have you ever been to a Southern Baptist church service? There is a lot of yepping and amening and clapping and EMPATHIZING when people admit their mistakes.

I have indeed been to a Southern Baptis Church service. Very exciting stuff. And I'm not even a religious man.

The was not a Southern Baptist Church service. This was an NAACP gathering.

Or perhaps you are attempting to use a stereotype to dismiss the reactions that so concern Benjamin Jealous...

That's kind of racist, Ravi...

See how easy it is?

I say we demand to see the entire video. And if what I suspect is true the one's that should lose their jobs are Vislack and Jealous.

I agree, but as I have stated, Sherrod's character I do not question. I do not believe she is, today, a bigot.

Why is that racist?

I was goofing on the stereotype of Southern Baptist Church services, Ravi, that's all. That and pointing out just how easy it is to twist stuff around and read into a comment something that is not there.

I do not think you are a racist.

Okie dokie, for a minute there I thought you believed that Southern Baptist was a race.

The tape was not altered. Not showing the whole tape doesn't fall in the parameters of "altering" the tape.

They didn't even show "snipets", they showed one portion of the tape. It will be interesting to see the rest but none of what she says will be able to excuse, I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I took him to a white lawyer, one of his own.

Well, the are in a league of their own!

 

[LibocalypseNow]

You can't bring race into your decision making process at work. It's just not right and it's not legal either. I'm glad she ended up doing the right thing and helping these people but that does not excuse her bigotry. CNN and the rest of her apologists can go on defending her but the moment she allowed race into her decision making process at work,she was wrong and possibly broke the law. If she were white i would say the same exact thing. It is what it is. A racist is a racist.

You're being retarded. And no the implication is valid. Why has he attacked black people in this manner? He is now claiming he didn't edit the tape and yet he is calling Sherrod a racist on the basis of what the tape contains...and the tape is obviously cut off before she makes the point she was making.

If he's not racist he's incredibly stupid.

why are you saying such mean things about obama???

Resigned USDA worker: White House forced me out
Resigned USDA worker: White House forced me out - Yahoo! News

I think she was misquoted on that...she's on video saying someone called her three times claiming the White House wanted her out.

Which was probably a cop out on the part of the person that fired her. No way the White House would involve itself in some petty government official's affairs.

you're talking about an immature president who involved himself in a harvard professor's arrest....

until you have proof otherwise, i'm going with the story as she claimed it happened....but go on ahead and call her a liar

 

[Yurt]

looks like the WH may have nothign to do with it

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack told CNN on Tuesday that he "didn't speak to anyone at the White House. ... I made this decision, it's my decision. Nobody from the White House contacted me about this at all."

A White House official also told CNN that "the White House did not pressure her or the USDA over the resignation. It was the secretary's decision, as he has said."

 

[LibocalypseNow]

What she engaged in may have also been illegal. You cannot bring race into your decision making process at work. There are clear laws that address this. So the CNN loons and the rest of her apologists really are missing the point. She may have violated the law. This should be the real issue being discussed.

I'll wait for her to clarify herself...something you apparently cannot do. She did state that someone claimed the White House told her to resign.

One thing is for sure. The Socialists/Progressives have definitely divided our nation. They really have played that Race-Card stuff to the max. I said during the election that this guy was no "Uniter." That was all just another Liberal Media scam. The Democrats have worked tirelessly to divide the nation by way of endless Race-Baiting. This might just back-fire on them though. I think most Americans are getting pretty sick of being called Racists 24/7. The Democrats have done nothing to unite America. They have instead only worked to tear it apart. It is very sad but it is what it is. Make 2010 count people.

So you looked at Obama and concluded he was a racist.

I really do think the Democrats are vastly underestimating how p*ssed off many Americans are at constantly being called Racists. Hopefully they will pay for that awful stuff. Get out and vote people. Make 2010 & 2012 count.

Amen , I'm sick of hearing it. I'm not a racist I'm an anti socialist.

PS - I'm fine with her being fired.

Klansman pulling the race card is hillarious thanks.
