Playing the race card is about as helpful in a debate as playing the "race card" card.

She's irrelevant to the right now that the stampede is on.

Stealing from the pharmacy again doc?

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.

Ironic you put that in a thread about the right accusing a Democrat of being racist.

I do not get your attempt at humor.

Which I think is understandable.

Got anymore of the those "hilarious" internet pictures to post?

If you inject race into your decision making process at work you are a racist and have probably broken the law. It doesn't matter what this woman did or didn't do for these people. She brought race into it almost immediately which does make her a bigot. I would say the very same thing if she were white or a Republican. As usual the Socialists/Progressives are being incredibly dishonest and hypocritical on this. Shame on them.

And she claims she learned that race shouldnt be a factor because of the experience.

Don't know if this has been covered yet, thread is moving fast:

The Agriculture Department has a lengthy history with the official forced to resign Monday over a controversial YouTube clip -- it turns out she and a group she helped found with her husband won millions last year in a discrimination suit settlement with the federal government.

Good for her if she really did learn that lesson, but she still deserved to be fired. Even if it was 22 years ago. Noway this was an isolated incident, and if she had been white Obama would have flown her to the WH for a beer and an ass whipping.

The Democrat party, the Republican party, the NAACP, the Tea Party, the YMCA, AAA, take your pick. You'll find racism and bigotry everywhere. That doesn't mean everyone in a particular group is bad...

That's true......and, it IS all economic, by nature.

When times are bad, economically, people (of the 'Bagger-persuasion) have a limited point-of-reference.....and, have a tendency to respond in a more-"traditional" way.​

"The Great Depression brought mass suffering to all regions of the country. National income dropped by 50 percent and unemployment rose to an estimated 25 percent of the total labor force. At the same time, twenty million Americans turned to public and private relief agencies for assistance. As the "Last Hired and the First Fired," African Americans entered the Depression long before the stock market crash in 1929, and they stayed there longer than other Americans.

As the number of rural blacks seeking jobs in cities escalated, urban black workers experienced increasing difficulties. Black urban unemployment reached well over 50 percent, more than twice the rate of whites. In southern cities, white workers rallied around such slogans as, "No Jobs for ******* Until Every White Man Has a Job" and "*******, back to the cotton fields—city jobs are for white folks." The most violent episodes took place on southern railroads, as unionized white workers and the railroad brotherhoods intimidated, attacked, and murdered black firemen in order to take their jobs. Nearly a dozen black firemen lost their jobs in various parts of the South. As one contemporary observer succinctly stated, "The shotgun, the whip, the noose, and Ku Klux Klan practices were being resumed in the certainty that dead men not only tell no tales, but create vacancies."

You have got to be fuckin' kidding...

Amazing hatchet job by Fox News..they should be very proud

Haven't seen the OP for a while...

 

[JimH52]

The video of her statement was edited and spliced to make it appear that she was talking about her feelings now. Then the far right media sold it as fact. You know like "I quit" Palin kept talking about death squads in the HC Reform law. I guess if the far right cannot win by outright lying, they will change the tape and edit people's statements. Very sad...

Again Dipshit, Fox News had NOTHING to do with this story or her being fired. Prove differently or shut the fuck up.

no it wasn't you dishonest hack...she whole time she is talking about the past, back when chapter 12 bankruptcy was enacted for farmers....tell me...when did that occur?

the tape wasn't edited, like nearly every news org out there, it was shortened to the relevant section and she fully admitted she didn't help him as best she could because he was white

bigot
