... DeGroft says the emails were meant to be political and not racist, and thinks that forwarding offensive emails isnt quite the same thing as originating an offensive email chain, apparently: None of them I initiated, if you look at them. They were all initiated by somebody else, he told the Daily Press. DeGroft sent the emails in question to Vice Chairman Byron Bailey, who went on to share them with other county staff...

What a lame and whiny excuse. Racist pigs like this have no place in our school systems. Let him be an ignorant racist in the unemployment line.
I guess Salon.com and the OP just want everyone to take their word that racist emails even exist. Should I be skeptical of this claim? I think so. How about providing an example and let the rest of us judge for ourselves if the content is racist or political. You made a claim, now back it up.
This all goes back to the Isle of Wight school board member Herb Degroft and an e-mail he sent containing naked women and a reference to First Lady Michelle Obama.
He forwarded two emails from his county email account. One had a picture with bare-breasted, African female warriors with the caption "Michelle Obama's high school reunion." Another e-mail claimed Mrs. Obama was paid $50 to model in National Geographic.
Some board members say they have been receiving similar e-mails from Degroft since January of 2012.
We really have no idea whether the e-mails were racist or political. They haven't put them in the public square where the issue can be debated. We just have an announcement that they are racist. Everyone can now read into the subject what they want to see.

I like the way Repubs automatically started defending and deflecting from this guy BEFORE EVEN KNOWING what he was accused of doing. They defend claims of racism before even knowing if it is or isn't racist at all.
But remember folks...They don't like Obama because of his policies

yeah yeash....all of us just take Salons WORDS on things.. but we are sick to death of these lame accusations of HOW ALL Republicans ARE defending something...
Hayhurst, whose website promises "good clean family comedy always," shocked spectators when he informed them on the rodeo's PA system that Playboy had offered Mitt Romney's wife Ann $250,000 "to pose in the magazine."
But shock soon turned to horror when Hayhurst went on to say that "the White House is upset about it because National Geographic only offered Michelle Obama $50 to pose for them."
