Sherrod: “We Must Stop The White Man And His Uncle Toms …”
First, a note of heartfelt appreciation for Joan Walsh of Salon. Her moving post on Charles Sherrod - in defense of his wife, Shirley – provided the inspiration required to dust off my Google skills. I simply had to fulfill her stated desire to share the actual words of Civil Rights icon Charles Sherrod with her readers, so touched was I by her profound tribute. And she's been swamped on TV, justifying Shirley Sherrod calling Fox and Andrew Breitbart racist. I can only hope she will be kind enough to direct her readers here, so we can all share his unique wisdom on race relations together, as one. That is, after all, the way it should be, is it not, Joan?
The civil rights heroism of Charles Sherrod
Andrew Breitbart sure picked the wrong people to symbolize black "racism."
If there's anyone more clueless about our civil rights history than Breitbart, as well as more abusive to it, I'm challenged to think of who it might be. He tests my commitment to nonviolent social change, but I'll share the work of Charles Sherrod to remember my values.
If I get a chance to talk to Charles Sherrod, I'll let him tell you what he thinks, in his own words, here.
Okay, Joan, though I do confess to being somewhat puzzled by the first quote I stumbled upon, especially as it came relatively recently – a full year after America had installed its first black administration in the White House.
Charles Sherrod: "We must stop the white man and his Uncle Toms from stealing our elections."
Gee, Joan, can you tell me what's so heroic about telling a room full of young black minds not even out in the world, yet – that if they ever embrace political, or socio-economic ideas that don't jibe with your hero's, the one elevated in a room before them, that they will be denounced as race-traitors? That is what Uncle Tom means, after all. What REALLY is heroic in that? It looks to me like what your hero does is build up their black identity to an extreme, then sends them a message that, if they don't vote, or act the way he wants them to, he and his community make them outcasts, stripping that very identity from them as traitors to their race. Is that the message heroic Civil Rights leaders are passing on to young blacks today? It sounds like it to me, Joan.
Maybe it's your hero's racism there that keeps young blacks on the Democrat plantation year after after, generation after generation – and not some non-existent racism you imagine on the other side. Why is your hero poisoning young minds, Joan? Or, is that just too much for you to grasp?
Shouldn't young minds be taught to think and explore the world for themselves, and not be infected with such poison perhaps before they even know who they are? Or, are you cool with your hero, there, Joan? How are you going to rationalize, not my reaction to your hero, but the not so subtle message he is delivering to those young black people looking up to him in a room?
But then, and I must admit to this being extremely troubling for me, Joan – I learned from your hero, Charles Sherrod, that because you are a white liberal, I shouldn't actually be reading you. See, I thought that when white liberals like you in the mainstream media provided significant coverage to black candidates at election time, it was because you wanted to be fair, perhaps even wanting to help them out. I would have never guessed that you were actually engaged in a nation-wide conspiracy to invoke fear and hatred into your white readers so that, come election day, they'd be all riled up at the black candidate, turning out to beat him.
But that is precisely what your hero tells me you are up to, Joan. Here I thought you were only trying to be fair. But then, I guess, you are white.
Charles Sherrod: "The tears that we've shed, so many times…. When the TV and the newspaper comes out the day of an election, or the day before an election. And tell white folk, all over, wherever we are running somebody for an office … that blacks are going to TAKE that office over. And thousands are coming to the polls. And you gotta get it."
Geez, Joan. I'm really kind of disappointed in you and your hero after all this. I'll just let him tell you himself. I'm going to move on down below and write on some interesting things I discovered about the Sherrods and their New Communities project. I mean, racism is one thing, … but separatist black-Marxist liberation politics? Is that what this is? Wow, you sure does have some interesting heroes for a white gal, Joan. I'll give you that.
Here are some words for your blog from Charles Sherrod, Joan:
Given the length of this, already – I'm going to cut to the chase - mostly just giving you the facts. In the video below, Sherrod claims they couldn't get funding because they were a corporation. He says nothing about racism being involved – though he does again display some of his own. But that is the grounds they sued upon – racism. And his son offers two views of what New Communities actually is, or was – family farm, non-profit corp., black-Marxist commune? Take your pick.
Kenyatta Sherrod remembers when his family’s farm was in foreclosure in the early 1980s. It was huge — 6,000 acres — and several people lived on it, raising vegetables and livestock that they would share with each other. Though several people had a stake in it, the property was in the Sherrods' names. “They lost the farm,” Kenyatta Sherrod said. “Life was different after that. We didn’t have a lot after that.”
The Sherrods also have a daughter, one with a rather interesting name. Pretty cool naming your kid after the Berlin Wall coming down, right? Well, not quite, unfortunately.
Son Kenyatta and daughter Russia defended their mother from charges of racism which led to her resignation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture position as director of its Rural Development program in Georgia on Tuesday.
Further research indicates she graduated high school in 1985. If she were 18 at the time, that would mean she was born in 1967. That's an interesting time for an American to name their child Russia – and it also happens to be the year Russia celebrated the 50th anniversary of the revolution. Hmm. But her actual birth year is unconfirmed, for now.
Russia Sherrod 1981-1985
But, is anyone else starting to get a Jeremiah Wright-like vibe here folks? I am. And if so, why would Obama appoint a racist black-Marxist to the USDA, fire her in kneejerk fashion, then grovel on the phone to her, offering her a promotion. By the way, she may just go fishing, instead.
The two joked afterward, Shirley said now that's she's unemployed she might have a little bit of time to do a little fishing a favorite hobby.
Mark Knoller mentioned a potential wrongful termination lawsuit in passing. And now the media and the administration seem intent on making her disappear. One theory on that I've heard is, they don't want people asking questions about her lawsuit. What I'm wondering is, maybe they don't want people asking questions about Obama.
He worshiped with Jeremiah Wright for years. He potentially appointed a racist black liberationist Marxist to the USDA. Just how many of them does he have around him, as he sits in the WH waging war on capitalism? And, finally, what might all those college documents of his they won't let us see tell us about him … especially given this?
Ultimately, given all this now beginning to come out as a result of Andrew Breitbart's original work makes him a hero in my book. These are the tough questions the press doesn't even want to ask. It brings to the front important issues on race and racism, black, or otherwise, the press and the WH don't wish to confront. But that's what's suppose to happen in a genuinely free, open and democratic society.
As things stand, an extremely controversial woman is sitting there with a free ticket for a promotion at the USDA from an incompetent in the WH who created this mess by appointing her, then firing her too quickly for some reason. This isn't Breitbart's mess. This is now Obama's mess to clean up, or justify, as far as I'm concerned. Heckuva job, Barry. Heckuva job. At least we're starting to get used to it. I believe the word is: incompetent.
Obama really does seem to have some of the strangest friends, just like Joan Walsh, of Sherrod's white media conspiracy against blacks. Who'd a thunk it?
The Examiner piece referenced at end of video is here.
9:00 AM Blockbuster of a post. No wonder Ms. Sherrod could not be found on any Sunday talk show. She seems to have vanished.
I’m betting President Obama wishes Gore had not invented the internet.
FANTASTIC WORK!!!! Of course none of this will be reported anywhere, unless someone at FoxNews goes racist again. Seriously, Mr. Riehl, you’ve done a fantastic job that no one else would. I figured that this woman would turn out to be and have strong ties to some of the more nasty elements of liberal politics. Thanks to you, the deification of this woman has proven to be yet another clusterf*&^ by the Obama Zombies.
Great job and thank you.
This blog is obviously RAAAAACIST (notice there are five ‘A’s in Racist).
/sarc off
Very well done, Dan.
Can’t wait to see how Little Green Mothballs spins this!
Brietbart used a classic move that media bomb throwers have historically used against conservatives. Kind of a new media “Made you Look” moment. The more we learn about and hear from the Sherrods the more we understand why the White House wants this to go away quietly.
a 6,000 acre farm that can’t generate enough revenue to cover the mortgage ??? what am I missing here ???
from:
http://www.ces.uga.edu/Agriculture/agecon/pubs/comm/pdf/CASH%20RENTS%20PAID%20FOR%20GEORGIA%20FARMLAND%20IN%202007.pdf
Dry land, no particular crop: 42.27 per acre (average)
lease out 2,000 acres for $84,540 annually …
on a 6% mortgage 84K would service $1.4 million … since they have been on that land for decades I would suspect their mortgage was alot less than that …
Marxism in action, inherit a 6,000 acre farm and run it into the ground …
I really HATE the Internet! http://www.LIVESHOT.cc
Bob Johnson on CNBC now saying we should dramatically expand affirmative action. He is suggesting blacks get a special income tax break – among other things. This is truly amazing.
About Ms Sherrod, she is just plain stupid. If opposition to ObamaCare(tm) is because he is black, then why did we oppose HIllaryCare(tm) and RomneyCare(tm)? Racism makes you stupid. Or stupid people are racist. Both?
Excellent!
Wow. Just wow. If there’s any attention paid to this at all at this point, this will be a bombshell. These people are truly insane.
Fantastic work! Dig deep enough and you can always come up with some dirt, especially when it’s out of context and you read deep, dark things into it. Why are we going after this woman, seeking to destroy her? We’ve all said things we regret. You can always find something bad. Why the campaign to villify a woman who has been through so much, and who acknowledge the dark feelings she has had and comes to terms with them, overcoming them and becoming a true role model? I can imagine the kind of language you might have used years back had your father been murdered by Muslims or blacks. Context, my dear boy, context.
This is so wingnutesque. It is so sickening.
“As things stand, an extremely controversial woman is sitting there with a free ticket for a promotion at the USDA from an incompetent in the WH who created this mess by appointing her, then firing her too quickly for some reason.

Cue to Don Imus talking to historian Michael Beschloss,
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Yeah. Even aside from the fact of electing the first African American President and whatever one’s partisan views this is a guy whose IQ is off the charts — I mean you cannot say that he is anything but a very serious and capable leader and — you know — You and I have talked about this for years….
DON IMUS: Well. What is his IQ?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Our system doesn’t allow those people to become President, those people meaning people that smart and that capable….
DON IMUS: What is his IQ?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Pardon?
DON IMUS: What is his IQ?
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Uh…..I would say it’s probably – he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President.
So now we go from denying the Sherrods’ racism to justifying it. Well done, Richard.
This came out real, real nice- I too respect Brietbart’s work, as well as your support, great work here.
The race-exploiting Obammunist era is a golden opportunity for us to draw a line in the sand on this ceaseless double standard crap- I’ll be damned if I’m going to be held to standards that somehow don’t apply to the race-pimping industry
And does Dear Leader even know ANY normal people?
“Kenyatta” is another charming name. Jomo was quite the racial and ethnic divider in his own right!
MICHAEL BESCHLOSS: Uh…..I would say it’s probably – he’s probably the smartest guy ever to become President.
Oh, and the crease in his trousers! I just can help it, I simply HAVE to touch myself…
Smartass. And God bless you for it!
No wonder Shirley was AWOL from all the Sunday talk shows.
Gosh, I can’t imagine that this would be why the WH canned Sherrod without knowing “the facts”. Maybe they were acting on a different set of facts other than the NCAA speech?
The most ironic thing is, I don’t think that Andrew Breitbart was targeting Shirley Sherrod – he was letting the NAACP know that they’d better cool it with their baseless accusations of RAAAAACISM against Tea Partiers. Who knew that BamBam could move that fast? And now he’s got another embarassment on his plate – one that isn’t going to go away, since she now holds all of the cards.
Interesting what comes scurrying out when you shine a light…..
With the way you guys think, you might not wanna be so against minority rights – cuz (thankfully) you certainly are one
Be grateful nobody is trying to suppress the dipsh*t vote.
And as for context, I’ll give you guys credit that you actually help in that respect.
Gonna be fun watchin’ you all circle jerkin’ this b.s. and the next CPAC…
The Sherrod’s just recieved $150,000 apiece in a law suit and another $13,000,000 in that same judgement has disappeared. The Sherrod’s were also a part of the $1.15 billion settlement that Obama and Holder had set up early last year, thats the one where there were 3000 litigants to begin with and 80,000 at the end of it. $13,000,000 and $1.15 billion are such small sums in the Obama scheme of things, he thinks in the $$Trillions but since its tax payer money could someone find out just what this is about. Maybe Joan Walsh could write something on this, maybe an Uncle Tom or White Devil ran off with it and gave it to that red necked farmer Ms. Sherrod was speaking of at the NAACP meeting where every one was laughing.
So, Unlike Sarah Palin, Shirley Sherrod really CAN see Russia from her Living Room!
Hey dare baby cracker 2penny,, glad to see you hold’n up my end up in here!! You tell ‘em good 2penny cracker, you tell ‘em good cracker boy!
Richard …
you think this woman is a role model ? really ??? after what she has said in the last couple of days ? you obviously haven’t heard what she has been saying …
Al Sharpton in a dress …
Oh and one mo thang 2penny,, even thouse yous my favorite cracker, jus remember dis,, I don’t like not one iota ’bout no cracker, not one!!!

Good job putting out the words of the true racists in this story. The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King’s words on what our country’s racial goals should be stand out in stark contrast to the words of these Black Racists. Complete racial and ethnic equality with identical fair treatment for all is the only rational goal.

You had better try to get copies of those videos. Dan. You KNOW they’re coming down shortly.
I’m sorry but for the Sherrod’s all video must be played in its entirety.
Vote black. Not vote for the best person. Vote black and you’ll get something back. Our nation is becoming a competition between gene pools manipulated by the hate-filled.
Some people just don’t know when to shut up.
This is amazing. No one makes more clear than Sherrod that there is no “American” interest- there are only “black” interests and “white and Uncle Tom” interests.
Obama sure helped bring us together by appointing people like this.
The Sherrods can see Russia from their house. Great work, Dan.
Dan, this is why Obama wanted Sherrod gone immediately. He knows what else is out there. I certainly hope you have contacted Walsh at Salon to fill her in on this matter.
It’s incredible how dumb lefties are – the more these dyed in the wool racists blab – the worse it gets.
John Bibb -
You are truly fooling yourself if you think most of the folks here hatin’ on Shirley Sherrod have great respect or admiration for MLK and the Civil Rights Movement.
Do keep tunin’ in.
The black racists myth is just a part of all this…a small part.
None of this changes my opinion that Breitbart played this badly. THEY trumped HIM with the valid accusation that he put out a misleading tape by omitting her lead into the story. Now the IMPORTANT parts can be dismissed by all mainstream because no one will quote Breitbart or ANYone who does.
BAD move, IMNHO
Dayum!
That’s gonna leave a mark.
I went to YouTube and watched the entire video from which this clip was pulled. First of all, I learned from Mr. Sherrod that until white Americans came into it, slavery was just fine. It was good for all involved until US WHITE FOLKS in the US of A got involved and then, WHOA, we made it a bad thing.
Having been born after the Civil Rights Era, I guess I don’t understand something. Didn’t Dr. King want us to all live as one people, judged only by the content of our character? Mr. Sherrod (and many, many others) never seem to want to be one with “us” because we are evil. The leaders from this era don’t want to live Dr. King’s dream. They want us to pay for the evils of the past and want to keep us separated by race – otherwise, who could they blame for the failures of their society? Are people blind to the problems this thinking has caused? By continuing to act like we have segregationist policies in place and that white people (mainly Republicans) want to oppress all black people, blacks have actually held themselves back from succeeding.
One only needs to look to other minority groups (Asians, Indians, etc.) to see groups that embraced the freedoms that America has and the opportunities available to them. The Chinese were treated poorly when they came, Roosevelt sent Americans of Japanese descent to detention camps – do you see those groups complaining that they need to stop the white man from stealing their elections? NO! They are participating in society, adding to the fabric of the nation. They embrace the entrepreneurial spirit upon which this nation was founded.
The Dems have cultivated the welfare state in the black community and this is what they want to harvest. Blacks voting only for blacks who want them to stay on the plantation, not those evil Uncle Toms who actually think for themselves.
I am sad for my country. Instead of going forward, I think people like Mr. Sherrod, Al Sharpton, etc., are dragging us back into racial discord.
I suspect Rastaz is a satellite of M2cents, a Think Progress phony. The “old Klan” was an action arm of the Democratic party, much as some folks would like to forget.
And Mike…are you from the UK, or from Canada, NZ or Australia?
Cordially….
“Just a bunch of RACIST BLAK SCUM!!!!
Where is the OLD KLAN when you NEED THEM!!!!!!
Posted by: Rastaz | Monday, July 26, 2010 at 12:10 PM”
Sorry, Rastaz, but Robert “Sheets” Byrd (D-KKK) just passed away. You’ll need to go elsewhere to find old Klansmen. Try Daily Kos or FireDog Lake. They were pretty fond of Sen Byrd.
Guilt by association. Yawn. That worked so well in 2008, didn’t it.
Sorry, Rick…wrong on Rastaz.
Do you think maybe ‘King Simar Shabazz’ is a sattelite of Dan’s?
Or maybe it’s more of Mark William’s ‘satire’….
I’m from US (and keep my papers handy in AZ to prove it!).
I know from a previous post that you suspected my spelling of ‘humourless’ was some sort of indication of foreignness. That’s actually perfectly swappable with humorless here – sort of like ‘grey’ and ‘gray’.
Not in league with ‘cheque’ for example.
Cheerio, mate!
You mean like VP Cheney and “Big Oil?” George W. Bush’s grandfather and the Third Reich? Still tops the charts after all these years.
Cordially…
The racial obsessions of the rightwing nutjobs never cease. Do y’all really think that your never-ending war with brown people is going to turn out for you well, electorially or demographically?
Mr. Sherrod’s description of the 5 years drought, then the 3 years fighting the USDA to ‘save’ them reminded me of “Democrats on an Escalator.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QFwso2gTTM
So many similarities!
Maybe he needs to read Star Parker’s column today… Here’s an excerpt:
“In January of this year, well into our recession, and well into the emergence of the Tea Party movement, the Pew Research Center surveyed black attitudes.
In answer to the question, “When blacks don’t make progress, who or what is to blame?”, 52% of blacks responded that “blacks” themselves are “mostly responsible”, and 34% said “racism.” This is the reverse of how blacks responded to this question just 15 years ago, when 56% said that racism was the impediment to black progress.
In the same survey, blacks responded almost identically as whites to the question of whether success in life is “determined by forces beyond one’s control” or whether “everyone has the power to succeed.”
Seventy seven percent of blacks and 82% of whites said that “everyone has the power to succeed” and 16% of blacks and 12% whites said success is “determined by forces beyond one’s control.”
And when blacks were asked in this same survey about the main problems facing black families, the response was overwhelmingly exactly the same as the general result of the Gallup poll of last week. Jobs.
So, Americans of all colors today generally feel responsible for their own lives and the main concern of most is the sick state of our economy.
So let’s have that discussion.”

Perhaps reading this article will give you some idea of Joan Walsh’s mindset.
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2000/02/17/guilty
Great detective work, Dan.
Keep exposing these racists.
2cents
you truly are a dumbass. MLK would be rolling in his grave to hear this black/white BS. I’m sick of the racists holding up MLK as a shield to spout their BS. “Content of their character” seems to mean nothing nowadays.
As someone whose family had a farm in Georgia for generations, I can tell you that 6000 acres is not a family farm, its a corporate farm. Most family farms run 100-300 acres. Anything larger is too big for a family to run. To give some perspective, 6000 acres is over 9 square miles
Nice google work. I have a few lingering questions: 1) Obama offered Sherrod a fancy new position at the USDA (when she was still being characterized as today’s Nelson Mandela or Rosa Parks). Is it standard procedure for the USDA to invent special positions just for people they have erroneously fired? What are the Civil Service rules for that sort of thing? Will this position be filled if she declines it?
2) Why did Shirley Sherrod get her original position at the USDA only days after winning a big judgment against the USDA? Is it standard procedure for the USDA mto appoint people who have won a lot of money from them?
3) She said she e-mailed her superiors to warn them that the video of her speech was going to come out, but that they did not respond to her. HOW DID SHE KNOW the video was going to come out?
The whole speech really didn’t make her look that much better; worse in fact. Didn’t even A.B.’s clips show her saying “I realized it wasn’t about white and black, it IS about white …. but it’s not, it’s about rich vs. poor. (paraphrasing).
But in the full tape she’s exposed as really just a redistributionist. She’s running a large arm of an unofficial reparations program. Isn’t that perhaps the reason they wanted her gone? She was being too vocal about THAT? Especially with poll numbers dropping?
I don’t think they were “snookered”. I think some hack in the WH told them: Here’s how we can spin this. We can cut down Breitbart and Fox and R/W bloggers in general with this spin. And my buddies in the media will run with it, guaranteed.
Trouble is, even this new info on her husband will be viewed through their falsely created prism as un unfair racist attack. It’s too bad Breitbart didn’t have this from the beginning; but he does now.
It’s no wonder they wanted Foxnews marginalized from the beginning in people’s minds. It’s no wonder they threatened other outlets for repeating anything they broke. Because they’re about the only place outside of blogs that Dan’s video will get any play. As someone once brilliantly said: Their problem is NOT that Foxnews is not a real news channel, it’s that it IS.
You tell ‘em 2penny cracker,, you tell ‘em boy!!!
RWC,
We agree…MLK would indeed be rolling in his grave.
And I’m for judging people by the content of the character.
Like Breitbart, for example.
I like “Big Oil,” am grateful for “Big Oil.” One way and another, everything I do depends on “Big Oil.”
I can eat, drink, cool, heat, shelter, write, sleep, travel, paint, publish and adjust my method of eating asparagus because of “Big Oil.”
“Big Oil,” among other benefits, drives the technological development of the modern world.
Even the Monsters of Mohammedan love “Big Oil,” now they are accustomed and feel entitled to its payoffs.
“Big Oil” is the world’s friend. Only God is bigger and better. I am grateful for “Big Oil.”
No wonder racist Shirley suddenly disappeared. I guess they didnt want anything about her doubly racist hubby making it on air. Poor Salon, once again, a commie generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.
“…you suspected my spelling of ‘humourless’ was some sort of indication of foreignness. That’s actually perfectly swappable with humorless here – sort of like ‘grey’ and ‘gray’.”
For the sake of comity, I’ll accept your strained claim about being swappable, and view you as a domestic lunatic-fringer. All good now? No bee under your bonnet? And by that I don’t mean “hood.”
Cordially…
And by the way-I would name my children after Jomo Kenyatta(kenyan Ivory thief and commie) and Russia(?). Why name your daughter after a communist country(is her middle name Soviet, Mikhail,or Yuri?). That tells one a lot.
And Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wept…..
Great question:
“Why is it that LEGAL immigrants in this country succeed and appreciate the liberties while native born minorities continually need assistance … from the government? ” (Credit to Storykeeper)
So long as the NAACP/skin-color-group-rights crowd stays in the public eye until November, the election ought to be a walkover.

Is Charles Sherrod a racist?
Simple yes or no.
After you answer, you can explain your answer.
Right here, right now.
how is this racist?
have you read about what happened in 2000 and 2004? I know you don’t want to acknowledge it but there were widespread voter supression campaigns in both of those years targeted towards minorities?
In MD—micheal steele literally bussed in homeless people to pass out misleading fliers that suggested that he was a democrat
why don’t you dust your google skills off to read about that?
p.s. the word uncle tom is offensive in the specific sense—if i call you an uncle tom then that’s offensive—but speaking generally i don’t see it as racist or offensive…
tim;
put up your sources.
Yeah, still not convinced Barry sat through 20 years of Rev Liberace’s flamboyant race drenched spittings and that he heard any of it, at all, a single word. Nothing to see there.
Yes, CT, let’s explore every possible angle to bash Sherrod. Let’s saerch under every rock. We can get her, if we all stand shoulder to shoulder and try our dangest. Hey, she was awarded money for abuse she endured. Let’s pillory her for that! Who does that brown lady think she is? Come on guys, we can do even better. Dig, baby, dig!
Joan Walsh is not White.
Joan Walsh is Liberal Fascist.
Therefore, Joan Walsh is Useful Idiot.
Exactly how are blacks going to stop whites from outvoting them? If the total number of blacks really are 1/8th of the population, and about half are adults who can vote, that means only a little more than 6% of American voters are black. In order to win any election nationally, blacks are going to have to develop the support of whites, or they can control access to the polls or they can control the counting of the votes. Alone and without any special power, blacks can have little national voting power.
“Who does that brown lady think she is?”
Apparently, she is someone in a position of power who has the ability to decide who gets federal dollars for assistance and she makes her judgments based entirely, not just a little, but entirely based upon the skin color of the person she’s entrusted to help.
Now, how in the WORLD is that ok? It is now?
Care to elaborate lefties, the veil has been lifted. Isn’t it nice to see what you leftists are all about?
Woooo-hooooo,, dat richard is move’n up on my favorite cracker boy list! But, don’t go gitt-n all excited cracker boy, ’cause I don’t like not one iota ’bout no cracker, not one and,, well, dat includes you too cracker dick. But I sho do like duh way you be thinking.
‘For the sake of comity, I’ll accept your strained claim about being swappable, and view you as a domestic lunatic-fringer. All good now? No bee under your bonnet? And by that I don’t mean “hood.”
Your acceptance not necessary. Really.
Don’t get your knickers in a twist.
Only question, Rick, would be are you humourless or humorless?
Mike watches,
What interesting logic.
I’m hoping you get hired by any & all Palin endorsed candidates for polling work.
I’m so disappointed. I mean, the CNN documentary (the fastest shot and produced in history, I think) paints her as a benevolent saint, who’s lived through cotton-picking (literally), institutional racism, and KKK attacks. Now to find out she’s not the reformed, redeemed, “can’t we all just get along” champion of the poor we’re being told to believe… well, I’m crushed.
“Vote black” eh…mmm…sounds like racism to me.
Could a white man purchase an acre from Sherrod and his commune?
“…total liberation…” From what..whom? “Our elections”…I always thought they were the elections of the USA. Guess I was mistaken…while I was busy raising my children to think beyond color the black Mama was teaching her children to think exclusively about color. Funny…now who is a racist?
Dat’s it 2penny, dat’s duh way to come in there cracker boy!! Don’t stop now, you gott’ ‘em on the ropes. Have I told you lately that yous my favorite cracker? of course I don’t like not one iota ’bout no cracker you understand,, not one!
LOL Riehl.
You are pulling a Breitbart!
You post a highly editted tape (we all saw the pauses and heard the repeats) taken out of context and publish it as your attempt to tarnish someone’s reputation.
How Breitbarty of you! Tell a LIE often enough and the illiterate will believe it is the truth! Shades of Hitler!
“I’m hoping you get hired by any & all Palin endorsed candidates for polling work.”
Anything to put an end to the current DC kakistocracy, of which Ms. Shirley is but the latest plaster saint.
If you actually are a domestic, corn-fed lunatic fringer, I’ll ascribe your affectation to wayyyy too much PBS viewing. That would explain a lot, actually.
Cordially…
And the other shoes begin to fall.
Oh yes, watch out for us PBS watching types.
That’s that dang network the sells all that “Eyes on the Prize” stuff…right?
The never ending FoxNews mini-series is much more up your alley…much more dramatic, and easier to follow.
….you likeing “post racial” America so far….hum?
Consider the inoculation value of Mrs. Sherrod’s “out-of-context” speach to members of the NAACP. Many have now recently seen this high profile example of a video clip taken out of context and called racist. Henceforth anytime a racist video surfaces the Shirley Sherrod Out Of Context incident will be trotted out, with plausibility, to inoculate the offending person/organization/party from the claim of racism. And don’t even bother with the ‘yea-but-that-could-work-against-them-also’ response. Not in the present environment.
Those of us who have been working for racial justice since well before the birth of “2cents” are utterly appalled by the Sherrods and other cartoons (e.g. Sharpton, et al) The Republican Party, founded to oppose slavery, supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964, when a majority of Democrats had filibustered the Civil Rights bills for years. Had it not been for Senator Everett Dirksen of Illinois, I am not so sure that we would have ever eliminated the White Only water fountains, hospitals, hotels, etc. To try to claim that people born after these bills were passed, who never learned anything in school about any race being inferior, probably not from their parents, either, but, to the contrary learned that skin color is no indication of intelligence nor any other desirable quality, reminds me of the nasty game that the mean girls played on one another in middle school. “Laura’s got cooties”
“Oh, no, you touched her, Now you’ve got cooties, too.”
Racism is just an outmoded anthropological notion, quite au courrent in the nineteenth century and early twentieth, no longer believed. To decide that someone has these “cooties” of racism, whatever that might mean, is silliness on steroids.
To allege that all opposition to Comrade Obama’s nightmare of Third World Socialism, as if Conservatives could object to nothing else in these horrors,has only one advantage: It allows the callow youth and senile Democrats like Jinny Carter to prop up their tumbling self esteem.
You can see the full 26 minute speech on YouTube for those skeptics out there trying to say this was edited.
Go to YouTube and type in:
Rev. Charles Sherrod Delivers Keynote Address at Race and Law Conference
“That’s that dang network the sells all that “Eyes on the Prize” stuff…right?”
I was actually thinking specifically of taxpayer-supported crackpot Bill Moyers, and assorted Frontlines. Firmly in the America “centre.”
“Eyes on the Prize.” That’s where Blacks had to overcome the oppression enforced by the southern Democratic power structure, right? They did, they busted it right up. Only took a century or so for that party to get it right. And now…down the memory hole.
Cordially…
Kudos we found this little ditti online with around 300 view on late Friday night-
good to see we aren’t the only one’s who see how ridiculous this situation it.
Shirley and Charles Sherrod got and OEO/USDA planning GRANT to start their New Communities , Inc.
The Sherrods incorporated so they could qualify for the CDC (Community Development Corporation)planning grant. This was in 1969.
I fund an article where it was mentioned that the group was “promised” more funding, but Governor Maddox cut funding(the nerve balancing the budget and all).
Needless to say there is question as to if the Sherrods got more grants.
Now is this a corporation of 2?
The NC, Inc went out of business in 1985.
Shirley Sherrod went onto get her master degree through RLDN program-her sponsor was SOCO-federation of Southern Cooperatives (SOCO) that in part is funded through USDA.
Shirley went on to become the directer of SOCO for some years.
The masters degree appears to be fully funded.
SOCO has a full link regarding Pigford Claimants on their website.
USDA is funding their own financial demise by promoting these lawsuits.
So I ask how can one sue the USDA if the USDA/OEO gave them a GRANT in 1969??????
To get the grant-incorporation was necessary-yet they apply for USDA loans that are earmarked for sole proprietorship farms and corp. do not qualify-suddenly it is discrimination.
Seems this is not the only instance where incorporation is a matter of convenience.
A Corporation’s officers cannot sue as individuals ($300,000 pain and suffering award as individuals).
The entire reason for incorporating is to provide the individual a level of insulation through incorporation.
Consider this. Was there a co-mingling of funds? Did the Sherrod’s pierce the corporate veil?
If so this is fraud.
Did the case Settle in arbitration?
If so, then the US government is complicate in this fraud.
This has been sent to some folks that might or might not give it some coverage-let’s see if it makes it out of the gate.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT RACE!!!!!!
This is about social justice-social justice meaning cold hard cash.
Pigford I has already cost over $1 billion -according to USDA tables.
this was a pet project of Obamas as he co-sponsored the additional $100 million for Pigfor in 2008.
This week the House will vot on HR4899-supplemental defense appropriations bill.
Pork attached is $1.15 billion for Pigford II cases.
The track B cases from Pigford I average settlements doubled from 2008 to 2009 to almost a cool million each.
Vilsack and Dr. Joe Leonard, JR (assist Sec of Civil Rights at USDA) are promoting the immediate arbitration and settlement of all Pigford cases. Some suggestions from congressional committee record testimony indicate that the USDA was in dire need of liaisons to handhold the claimants and walk them through the process.
Pigford I was settled in 1999–only to be reopened.
yesterday Chris Wallace interviewed Jesse Jackson and Jackson stated there are 100,000 Pigford claims and that is just the beginning.
Issue-there were about 22,000-27,000 farmers during the Pigford claim period.
now consider this Jackson mentioned what i have known about for some time-the Native American version of Pigford and coming soon is the Hispanic version of Pigford.
Key word being “intend” to have a farm.
And Jackson mentioned the bank version of Pigford-but Wallace cut him off-so Wallace could ask about race. seriously, Pavlov’s Dog.
This IS NOT about race.
This is straight out of the Cloward and Piven strategy to work within the system to bankrupt and collapse the system.
This whole thing will cost trillions when all is said and done.
We need to quit feeding the monster.
“This is about social justice-social justice meaning cold hard cash.”
You bet it is.
Or you betcha it is. The social justice-eers love junkets and cold hard cash, and the trappings of wealth, and sticking it to whitey is just gravy, white icing on the cake.
Excellent, Buddy.
A one-word equivalent of Cloward-Piven…”reparations”, which is what this regime is all about.
Most whites like myself support equality. However when events demonstrate that black people don’t really want equality but rather want a turn at being dominating and a chance to pay back retribution for every slight and injury with interest then the support they had – and which put Obama into office – will vanish.
Matt Taibbi – spot on.
You are a gleeful bunch here…

“It’s just not necessary to say whether or not these people are racists. All that needs to be pointed out is that when they get a chance to gape at a video purporting to show a black Obama official confessing to having mistreated a white farmer (it turned out to be the opposite of that, of course), or a tape of Black Panther King Shamir talking about “killing cracker babies,” the word that best describes the emotions they display at these times is glee.”
I’ve been saying for a while that this is about reparations…but the lefties don’t see past Barry’s skin, to who he is.
They didn’t before, they won’t now. There are a few that know what’s up, but they like it. Most don’t quite get it…they simply aren’t aware or bright enough to see things clearly.
Social justice, reparations, leftism…Barry’s all about this stuff. But let’s focus on Palin…sure. We have a USDA official giving aid to black farmers over white farmers, and the story is how the people attacking her are racists.
This must be what Russians were witnessing in the lovely days of the USSR. Unreality.
“We have a USDA official giving aid to black farmers over white farmers”
NO..we DON’T.
Man, you guys just eat up every fabrication that gets spat out and spun around.
And you add ‘Unreality’???
Geez, the effin’ mind blowing effin’ irony.
At some point, rank racism will indeed be the only explanation for this b.s.
For now, we’ll just go with rank stupidity.
“…the word that best describes the emotions they display at these times is glee.”
Odd…the disappointment I feel in such atavism isn’t nearly joyous.
But, if a moral titan from Rolling Stone says so, I gotta mull it over. Gobsmacked, you know.
Cordially…
Another quote out of context. Are you allergic to adjacent sentences/paragraphs?
I bet you have even more info. on them!
Kinda like the acorn stuff…..watch out left wing media…here comes the truth!
mikeNOsense…
You avoided the question.
Is Charles Sherrod a racist?
Yes. Or. No.
“There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”– Booker T Washington
Now how about some Booker T. music?

“It’s incredible how dumb lefties are . . .”
Hmmmm.
They started out by completely funding every wish-list pie-in-the-sky moronic project that they’ve wished they could have passed over the last 20 years or so, spending trillions in each other and on their families and friends and then making us buy highway signs on which they get to brag about how much they stole.
They stole carmaker companies and then sold them to their friends who own unions, and they’re letting them pay the purchase price via campaign donations every two years from now until the we no longer need elections.
They’ve just about completely shut down all oil drilling.
Health care has been nationalized, and has only begun to suck. The Health Rationing Czar just chuckles quietly when I ask him when Grandma can get in for the liver biopsy.
We’ll very likely have a VAT within fifteen months.
Israel, England, France, Germany, and China all now think we’re silly self-absorbed chumps.
Hugo Chavez feels superior to us.
President Calderon is right now drawing up a new map of the Northern Mexican Resource Zone, putting in new city names in place of all the old Texas names.
I suspect we’ll see a new lawsuit against the U.S. within two years in which illegal aliens sue because we’ve denied them their right to vote in our elections even though they live here. I bet Justice Kagen writes the majority opinion affirming the aliens’ victory.
- – - -
I could go on, but it strikes me as somewhat silly to call them dumb when their stealing is slowing down because, at this point, there’s not much left to steal.
Dan,
You gotta see this:
Morgan Freeman tears Mike Wallace a new one on the race question:

No.
How about True/False for you?
“We have a USDA official giving aid to black farmers over white farmers” T/F?
“(Sherrod) is someone in a position of power who has the ability to decide who gets federal dollars for assistance and she makes her judgments based entirely, not just a little, but entirely based upon the skin color of the person she’s entrusted to help.” T/F?
“Racism is just an outmoded anthropological notion.” T/F
“Andrew Breitbart” T/F
Who are the muslims who own more land than the Sherrods but not in a single track (1:38 in video)?
Bet you’re just itchin’, Cannon53.
But I’m sure folks here will take you to task for this.
Remember, they are truly really so so much against racism. Really.
“Remember, they are truly really so so much against racism. Really.”
Well, you have *finally* gotten with the program. Kind of like Ms. Sherrod, only she has a ways to go yet. Her husband lags, though.
Cordially…
Modern American conservatism has ceased to be a part of a thought process. All it is now is a gut reaction to the worst nativist and xenophobic impulses.
@FeFe
The Muslim organization that Sherrod refers to is the Ministry of Agriculture of the Nation of Islam.
The farm Sherrod refers to is Muhammad Farms.
Found this a few years back, quite enlightening I must say.
Go here and click on the link Muhammad Farms-link on left
http://www.noi.org/3year-econ.html
the link will take you here-seems they already got an article about Sherrod
http://www.muhammadfarms.com/
and you may click on “the farmer’s newsletter” for further enlightenment

Andrew Breitbart=true in the main, and particularly with regard to this controversy. Shirley Sherrod’s speech and its responses, along with many other examples, shows the NAACP to be quite accommodating to racists. One of its main trusts is racial preference in law and regulation.
Sherrod has since proven her racism and general bigotry, which you sniff at, but which I find unacceptable. You won’t find it at any TEA Party event to which I have been.
Sherrod should watch THIS…..

True, especially as pertains to the NAACP being very accommodating to racists. One of its main thrusts is to promote racial preference in law and regulation.
Shirley Sherrod has within days proven she’s a racist and several other kinds of bigot, which you sniff at.
I do not. And I’ve never seen any hint of racism at a TEA Party event, and I’ve attend many.
“…a gut reaction to the worst nativist and xenophobic impulses.”
And we are indeed reacting to it. You seem like you might be defending it. Why do you want to make Baby Barack cry?
Cordially…
There is a group of hateful, race-baiting Marxists in this country – and Barack Obama has obviously gone to great lengths to surround himself with them. One or two I might write off to coincidence, but not this many. Nice work, but no real surprise here anymore. They seem to think that they can create reality with their spin machine, but it’s not working this time.
What does this have to do with the Sherrod / Breitbart story?
The Sherrods are Marxists and Racists. No wonder the Obama Admin did not want them on the Sunday talks shows. They want this story to go away as quickly as possible.
Sisu FTW! Hehehe.
Gee, another edited clip. I’m sure it’s just a total coincidence that there’s a cut right before the “we must stop the white man” bit. It’s not like anything has happened over the last couple weeks to bring right-blogger’s video-editing credibility into question.
Is he saying Obama stole the election from McCain?
It appears that Charles Sherrod wants a separate (but equal, I presume) economic system for black folks’ so that black folks’ money doesn’t end up in white folks’ hands. Didn’t we fight against that in the ’60s?
“It’s not like anything has happened over the last couple weeks to bring right-blogger’s video-editing credibility into question.”
That’s a true statement.
Scroll through the comments, and you’ll find the whole speech. Nothing was distorted, just as in the Sherrod tapes. Then you can come back an apologize.
What was distorted was what they portended. They were posted to show the racism of the NAACP, which they do…along with LOTS of other evidence.
SNAP
Whenever I see stuff like this I really am shocked even now.
It is very difficult to imagine crazy of this caliber existing anywhere outside a padded room. Yet there they are, and the news media is backing them and trying to cover up the truth about them.
What does that say about the state of our society as a whole? It is easy to point a finger at the news media, but those people don’t exist in a vacuum.
When a civilization loses the ability to distinguish truth from lies, insanity from lucidity, it is lost.
Here is what they mean by being against healthcare is racism. Its not because its obama’s plan—its because Blacks will be the biggest beneficiaries of the healthcare money. In their eyes we don’t want to give up our money to help support them. Well, I guess I’m a racist. I’m tired of supporting everyone else.
I’m tired of this racism game.
The husband and wife have a reoccurring theme going on….
“Our people”, “Our interests”
I have no doubt that if those people had their way they would slit my “cracker” throat. please excuse that horrible, racist word but that’s exactly what they tell their children. THANK YOU for exposing them for the racists that they are!
As a white male from the upper middle class, I have long suspected that I am systematically oppressed and the victim of a vast coordinated effort to disrupt my absolute hegemony over this country’s culture, wealth, and power. Thank you and your wonderful blog for confirming these suspicions. Go Packers.
Great work! I was trying to look up the circumstances of her father’s death. Nothing! Someone will have to drive into Albany and do boots on the ground research.
Kenya was then and is now a communist country btw.
If white men and Uncle Toms stole the last presidential election, does that make Obama a white man or an Uncle Tom?
Wonderful blog.Keep up the excellent work.I would say Joan Walsh,You are the best and deserve all the praise one can give…
It amazes me how some people are making statements that they cant understand why Shirley is being attacked over her comments..WELL your right..WE should have gone after her husband..HE’s 100% racist! Democrats have used tactics like these for EVER!!!!!! Going after Republicans, Whites and anyone who makes ONE COMMENT..Not even a SPEECH like Charles Sherrod did. They go after people with a VENGENCE…UNRELENTLESS witch hunt..Until the person they are attacking no longer has a job. BLACKS living today..HAVE NEVER EVER ONCE experienced SLAVERY..nor did their parents or grandparents for that matter.. SO BLACKS need to stop letting themselves be used by the likes of Jesse Jackson, REV SHARPTON and REV WRIGHT.. And Move along. YOU are all entitled to an education..same as us “white folks” It’s not our fault many choose to drop out..and turn to the life of CRIME…and lately POLITICS….
“White folks”…like middle class white people who work hard for themselves and their families, only to be insulted by assclowns like Charles. Evidently, they’re supposed to supplement successfully accomplishing goals with a heaping helping of guilt.
“Uncle Toms”….like Thomas Sowell, Kenneth Gladney, Ken Blackwell, Bob Parks, Col. Allen West, Herman Cain, those “Uncle Toms”? Charles and Shirley are two of the biggest racists on the planet. Both are mealy-mouthed neo-Black Panthers who demonstrate that racism ain’t a one -way street. I’m sensing a Jeremiah Wright “Black Liberation” theology somewhere in the mix.
Crackers!
All I can say to this about the Sherrod problem is it goes to show you that since Obama became President he has divided whites and blacks worse than it has been since the 50′s and 60′s. Dr MLK must be rolling over in his grave!
Ragspierre -
You got 75% on the quiz.
Not sure how to grade your Breitbart answer as it seems to be a bit of a cop out.
Glad to know you’re able to spot provable falsehoods. But sorry to know that you’ll just sit silently by while such b.s. is spread around, or offer up supportive comments to the gang.
You’ve got folks here at this cocktail party suggesting that it might just be ok to start using the N-word again, and you’re just walking around passing out hor d’oeuvres.
Do I detect a hint of the “R” word. Racism? No way. I must be hallucinating just like I didn’t see those black New Black Panther Party thugs standing in front of that Philadelphia, PA polling place. I have to chalk it up to age, after all I am 74, so I guess my Communist genes are dying off and I only see the world as it really is. The best thing this old coot has going for him is on 8/3/10 I’m firing up my motorhome and not stopping until I land in Apache Junction, Arizona, the land of “Open Carry”. On election day, I’m going to strap on the big iron and head for my polling place. I will have dropped to my knees asking for devine help in making sure one of those thugs is trying to intimidate me. If I should be so lucky, I hope the black thug is a muslim as well. At least his trip to his heaven will be rewarded with 73 virgins.
Wally Pieper, big man -
Settle down. If you do get to AZ, just take a drive around…beautiful place.
Try a nine iron instead on a big iron.
If you need to shoot something, find some tin cans.
Or maybe the tin hat you’re wearing.
Whadaya say Dan, Rick, Ragspierre…wanna keep fanning flames for folks like Wally?
Maybe you gonna go down there with him to make sure he doesn’t shoot himself in the foot.
I guess by ‘uncle tom’s’ he means any black person who isn’t a liberal victim. This is what liberals have done to Martin Luther Kings dream, made it a nightmare.
Nah…in the words of Billy Joel, “We Didn’t Start The Fire.” If *you* can’t direct a stream of water on the blaze of racism (and that seems to be the case), you might at least hold the hose.
But no…”our goons are the Good Guys,” and the conflagration only grows. Big help progglodytes are.

What Are Obama’s Critics For? Plenty
One thing we’ve heard a lot since President Golden Calf took office is that his opposition represents the “Party of No.” There’s no principled reason (as one liberal friend phrased it last year) for this stubborn opposition. As long as Obama is in power, the GOP is mainly going to say “No” on everything. Even as recently as last week, Obama accused nay-voting Republicans of obstructing change. This was as he signed into law the Dodd-Frank bill—named after the two crooks who were directly responsible for the housing crash and who, as is the rule in the Democrat Party, were rewarded by given the privilege of spearheading the wreck-tifying 2,400-page piece of cr@p.
And when Obama’s critics (a.k.a. regular Americans) aren’t being called “the Party of No,” they’re being accused of not being for anything. “They’re not for anything, these tea-bagging racist Republicans! They’re just against everything! Against hope! Against change! Against little cute kittens and puppies!” Etc.
Don’t believe the hype. For one thing, I’ll be the first to admit the “Party of No” moniker is essentially accurate. But the reasons are hardly unprincipled, or even racially charged as we’ve heard ad nauseam. The GOP for the most part says “No” and even “Hell, no!” for very principled reasons: Because it’s the right thing to do. Plain and simple. The failed “stimulus” bill? Hell no! The disastrous liberty-sucking health (s)care bill? Hell no! And now the economy-squeezing financial de-form bill? Hell no again.
As long as this human wrecking ball of a president is in office, and as long as the Democrat Party controls Congress, I am proud to be a member of the Party of No.
Now let’s get to that “We’re not for anything” meme. That’s a lie. We are for lots of things. And it’s not—as Obama’s sycophants will have you believe—putting blacks at the back of the bus and women back in the kitchen blah blah blah. What we conservatives/Republicans/tea partiers are for is restoring America to be closer to its founding principles. Why? Because they worked! Not perfectly, naturally; nothing human-made is perfect. But light years better than this Marxist utopia the Obamaniacs in power have in store for us, that’s for sure.
If you have been wondering what us on the right are actually for, or you are on the right and have had a frustrating time explaining it to a lefty, this piece ought to help you out. This conservative manifesto as it were was written back in February:
Why I am a Conservative
February 22, 1:32 PM | Philadelphia County Conservative Examiner
I am a Conservative because I believe in American Exceptionalism; I believe that Democracy and the rule of law is man’s best hope on Earth and that our way of life must be defended. … I believe that in the absence of American as the defender of Freedom, the world would dissolve into chaos, leaving Totalitarianism to rule the day and enslave the people.
I am a Conservative because I believe in Open and Free Market Capitalism, and that Capitalism is the engine for economic growth and a nation’s prosperity, not wealth redistribution. …
I’m a Conservative because I believe in the 2nd amendment. I believe that the 2nd amendment is essential if we are to protect the First. …
I’m a Conservative because I am a Citizen of the United States of America, not the world. I believe America is a sovereign nation and that our national security decisions should reflect our interests, not the United Nations. …
I’m a Conservative because I believe in the US Constitution and that it is the Ultimate and Supreme authority on all laws enacted to govern the country. I believe that when a Judiciary becomes rogue and forgets it constitutional role as a Reviewer of Law, and not an Author, that court should be brought under control by the Congress or Abolished …
I am a Conservative because I believe in the provisions of the 10th amendment. I believe that all powers not specifically enumerated by the Constitution to the Federal government belong to the states and thereby to “We the People”.
I am a Conservative because I believe in America. America is a place where anything is possible if you work hard and apply your natural gifts and talents. America is a place where a child can grow up on welfare to become the Leader of the Free World. America is country where your place in society is not cemented at birth because of a less than desirable socio-economic status. In America, the “Dream” is still possible.
I am a Conservative because I understand that 2+2=4, no matter what the State says.
I am a Conservative because I believe it is immoral to steal from one man and give to another. I consider it theft for the government to seize the assets, through taxation and regulation, of private business ventures and use the funds as a piggy bank for social experiments. …
I am a Conservative because I believe in fiscal sanity and a mandated balanced federal budget; if everyday people must cut expenses to balance their home budgets, the federal government must be required to do the same.
I’m a Conservative because I believe in the freedom of choice in education. I’m a proponent of merit pay for teachers that produced results and penalties for ineffective teachers who don’t. I believe parents should have the choice to remove their children from failing public schools, and with State and Federal assistance be able to send their children to private institutions. …
I am a Conservative because I believe America’s greatness is ahead of us, not behind. I believe that if the federal government would get out of the way of the American spirit of Ingenuity, Americans will pull the nation out of this recession and into a real recovery. …
I am a Conservative because I understand that the only way to save the bankrupt system of social security is to privatize it.
I am a Conservative most of all because I believe in individual liberty and the natural right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Click on the link at top to read it in full. It really is a great piece.
By the way, the author of this manifesto? His name is Jamal Greene. “Jamal”? That’s not a typical name for an Obama-opposing tea-partying racist white cracker.
That’s because this Obama-opposing tea partier is in fact a black man. Well slap me on the @$$ and call me Sally!
Stick that in your hash pipes and smoke it, you pathetic race-baiters at NAALCP, MSNBC, and NYT.
The only discussion Mr. Holder wants to have about Race, is how to punish White America for the Sins committed by 20% of White Democrats who lived 150 years ago. Or to punish all of America for the Sins of the Southern Democrats 50 years ago! I’d love to have that discussion with you Mr. Holder! Mr. Holder, WHY ARE YOU AND OBAMA A DEMOCRAT!
Most of you in here are so misguided that it’s actually pretty funny. I don’t know any of you but your parents obviously failed you in that they passed on their narrow world views to most of you. Let me ask you this, who steals elections in this country? Is there not a history of voter intimidation of blacks by whites throughout this country? Is there not a reason for blacks, especially in the south to feel a certain way about whites? To sit here and try to make Charles Sherrod look bad makes you all look very sad and racist. This man could have helped fuel many violent responses to white oppression during his younger days but instead he chose to take a different course of action. Do any of you realize what it was like for men like Charles Sherrod in their youth? The fact that most of you here don’t attempt to understand his frustration and anger makes you look very small. Is there not institutional racism in this country? Maybe the Klan isn’t riding around burning crosses anymore but many racists have embedded themselves in govt and businesses and have actively worked to screw over blacks in this country for too long. Where’s the sympathy for Mrs. Sherrod’s situation? Her father was murdered by a racist and this murderer was never brought to any kind of justice. Now if the remaining members of the family would have decided to take justice into their own hands, they would have been wrong. They lost their farm and eventually won their case…why? Because of institutional racism and discrimination. Some of you racists here just won’t come out and say that you don’t like blacks or minorities, that would be much more “respectable” and preferable than what you currently do. Which is to actively look for perceived black racism only to make yourselves feel better.
FYI just because you can quote some of Dr. King’s words doesn’t mean you’re not a racist.
Hilarious…..sherrod’s no bigot…..but her husband is…..wake up America…..these two are a couple of pieces of sh.t……black socialist bigots. Filth is filth….
suibne
Thank goodness that the many of you with this limited world view are becoming smaller and smaller in numbers. Your daughters will love ni&&ers and w#tb#cks and they will breed with them, and then you’re line of thinking will become a remnant of an ignorant past.
President Calderon is right now drawing up a new map of the Northern Mexican Resource Zone, putting in new city names in place of all the old Texas names.
Considering that the land was stolen from the Mexicans in the first place, it seems fitting that he would rename some of the old Texas names.
Suibne -
Come on in…you are welcome here!
Ragspiere will be by in a moment to bring you a snack.
In the meantime, you can finger paint or use your crayons.
If you need to use the potty, Dan will take you.
Conservatism is for people who don’t travel, people who do not ever want to learn new things, for people who refuse to see what their eyes show them. One of you tro//s said that…
They started out by completely funding every wish-list pie-in-the-sky moronic project that they’ve wished they could have passed over the last 20 years or so, spending trillions in each other and on their families and friends and then making us buy highway signs on which they get to brag about how much they stole.
This is funny as hell to me, considering that Conservatives have been running the country into the ground since the 80′s. They only celebrate the know nothings in our society. Ronald Reagan, Joseph McCarthy, George Bush, Don Rumsfeld, Sharron Angle, Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Fox News, Breitbart and list goes on.
They complain about welfare, medicaid, medicare and unemployment while many of them benefiting from those very same programs. If you don’t like those programs, don’t use them if possible. Tell your families not to use them.
You dumb @ss right-wingers stayed remarkably silent while GWB lied about Iraq, they say Obama “pals” around w/terrorists but after 9/11, the only family allowed to fly was the Bin Laden family. GWB has been tight with that family for decades, no mention of that. Why are they so remarkably loud about Saul Alinksy or Karl Marx, but silent when it comes to Prescott Bush?
Like I said before, you ignorant conservatives are only shrinking in numbers, even your children realize that their parents are on the wrong side of basically every single issue. Your children will produce mix bred children who will definitely not share the same narrow minded views that you all love to brag about.
Most of Fox viewers are racist scum.
Someone in here said blacks living today never experienced slavery, so basically we should just shut the hell up about slavery since most of us never experienced it. Again, your ignorance makes me laugh, and I’m truly thankful for the entertainment. Talk about ignorance, one of you dumb b*tches in here says they’re going to drive to Arizona to wait for a black thug muslim to intimidate them at the polls so they can send them to heaven to get their 73 virgins. WOW. LMAO!!!!
You know I try to be peaceful, but I wish one of yall would try that dumb sh*t down here in St. Pete, FL.
Most Conservatives blindly support Israel. Well I wonder what they think of Netanyahu’s comments in which he calls them absurd for supporting Israel. He also goes on to say that they easily moved in the right direction. LOL. Don’t believe me though, I lie all the time. Don’t look it up on Google. Or matter of fact, don’t use this link, it stinks of Liberal bias…

Of course context matters, but this context pretty much plays on an even keil to that of his own wife.
You bunch of RACISTS!
“I don’t know any of you but your parents obviously failed you in that they passed on their narrow world views to most of you. Let me ask you this, who steals elections in this country?…”
Mostly urban Democrats, of course.
” Is there not a history of voter intimidation of blacks by whites throughout this country?”
Yes, by southern Democrats seeking to prop up their Jim Crow laws.
You were saying about history?

My bad, responding to RiteIg leading with his chin. Upon further reading, RI is a barking moonbat. Rick out.

Obamas’ #1 Problem IS Black and White!
I can almost hear the staccato clicking of keyboards hammering out the word ‘racist’ ad nauseum… save it. Let me break this down with one word.
Race card – This one gets played more than ‘Stairway to Heaven’. The white voters signed up for this guy for only 1 of 3 reasons:
A. Fear of looking like a racist if they didn’t.
B. Bush was so bad that the spill-over doomed anything with a (R) next to it. Seriously, I think Carter could have beaten anything the republicans could have mustered.
C. They were the ‘average white person’ who doesn’t see the world through colored glasses and were willing to take candidate Obama at face value and give him a shot. I mean he couldn’t do any worse than Bush right? RIGHT?! (hindsight is painfully honest)
Obamas’ major problem now?
I. Everyone from category C (above) has, in the great tradition of Elvis, left the building. Bigger problem? The Democrats have a better chance of picking up net seats this November than Obummer has at getting even one of these voters back.
II. A majority of the people from category A (above) feel vindicated having voted for him in ’08 and have been significantly desensitized to the baseless charge.
III. The people from group B? Well… Nothing like the jarring stench of progressive to prod one to their senses. Sure, Bush was anything but a fiscal conservative, but this is financial ‘Caligula’…
(Personal musing) You know it is going to be a long two years for Obambi when he is losing to a generic ballot… Obama needs a LOT more HOPE… Or just Card Check…
Another potential problem facing Obama is a small but noticeable shift in his usually solid Black voting block. Last I checked, every black person who doesn’t sing the progressive line of social justice is still, by NAACP standards, an ‘Uncle Tom’, but, there seems to be a rash of free thinking blacks, and even a few running for office. Here is to hoping it goes viral, we need a lot more of the former and latter.
Trust me when I say, Glenn Beck, Fox News, those people in ‘fly-over country’, et al, are not the biggest threat to Obama, the next Martin Luther King is.

MMonides–you are an idiot. Republicans aren’t at war with “brown” people. That is your delusional fantasy so that you have an excuse to be a failure. Always blame “whitey” for keeping you down and never allowing you to succeed. At a certain point that grows stale. We’re not at war with minorities. We’re at war with our enemies (omg many of them are white) who are trying to destroy this great country. Did you think whining and crying about it forever was going to keep working??
The Sherrods are typical racists that infest our minority comunities, making it difficult for others to move ahead and enter the mainstream. “Uppity” is the stereotypical term that comes to mind when I watch either of them speak.
There are more Caucasians that have worked hard to blunt or minimize their racial bias than there have been blacks doing the same. Just by sheer numbers alone. It seems that the equal treatment of others, taught by my grandparents and parents, was a sham, part of the early snookering of whites by the socialists and their newfound foot soldiers- the blacks. A half-century blown.
The hatred Sherrod expresses seethes under the surface, emerging whenever the “crackas” are out of site. It’s passive-aggressive, faux sweet time when the whiteys show their washed out faces, eh?
Black churches have institutionalized the notion of ongoing enslavement by whites and their Uncle Toms or house boys. They justify every ordinary harm as a slight, and any attempt at reigning in budget as a prelude to civil war. At a time when we all suffer, blacks scrambled to keep the title of most disadvantaged. The Hispanics now are their “useful idiots,”to inflate their numbers when needed and to brush aside when underfoot.
When Sherrord denies that “it” is not about white and black, she makes an outright lie. Listen to her speech and, soon, the rich versus poor rhetoric becomes drenched in anti-white racist code.
I’m tired of it, tired of turning the other cheek, tired of ignoring the subtle and not-so-subtle insults, tired of being seen as a bad guy because I choose to donate to the less fortunate — it never seems appreciate or enough. Between Obama and the all-star cast of Obama-picked black role models that have been thrust into our daily national exchange, I can tell that Sherrod is not a one-off but “typical.” She defines a sterotype. A very real stereotype of a large group of people who’d better suck it up and work together with all peoples in this nation, or they’ll forever be considered traitors in our midst.
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY IS RACIST AT ITS CORE. JIM CROW AND THE KLAN WERE BOTH PRODUCTS OF A SOUTH CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS.
The Sherrod’s “farm” wasn’t a family farm. I don’t know if they had farm land to begin with, maybe they did, but what One Communities was, was a plan that involved other black farmer’s pooling their land, signing it up to this corporation. They didn’t lose it to a bank, but when the other farmers started pulling out of the corporation, some wanted to sell off their land. This is what I’ve heard and read online in various discussions. I do believe that the Sherrod’s should be investigated and forced to document what they did with that 13 million dollars, because from what I’ve been given to understand, there was supposed to be an equitable distribution of that money.
This is blatant racism as its most subtle. Race card, race card, race card is all we’ve been hearing since we elected a black president.
We elected a black man to dispel racism, to unite! What a joke on us! He’s fomenting a race war so he can declare martial law and become the socialistic dictator he aspired to be from the beginning!
His racist intent is to punish every white person for the sins of slave traders committed before you were born! You are fair game if you are white!
What a travesty! We trusted him to do the right thing for America
and his goal was, and is, the destruction of America for personal revenge for perceived ancient history offenses and transgressions.
What a fool! He had the opportunity to be a decent president and leave the door open for other black men and women. Instead he slammed the door, maybe forever! How very sad for all Americans, black and white! Racism comes in all colors and the sooner that is recognized by all races the better.
Heya, “RightIgnorance”, tell the Honorable Louis Farrakhan, I said “howdy”.
And while you are at it you can take your antisemitism and racism with you and don’t let the door hit you in the a$$.
I am extremely educated about your organization. Say “hi” to Dr. Ridgely for me.
Warmest regards,
Someone who is sick of your crap.
ps don’t forget to put flowers on Khalid Mohammad’s grave this year.
pps have you found that spaceship yet?
Andrew’s a loose cannon, a little kid with a rattle. Tick him off and he goes ballistic and that is the FIRST lesson in what not to do when dealing with Alinsky’s Socialist scum.
okay mmondies i guess im at war with myself of hate myself?
I’ll bet she’s named after someone named Russ, rather than the former USSRussia.
I think Andrew Breitbart was set up for this to happen. It was just three days before that the NAACP had breakfast w/Mrs. Obama. I feel like the NAACP had this tape and Breitbart picked it up. I feel like the woman is still a racist and her husband is full of venomous bigotry. This woman helped win a lawsuit filed by disgruntled black farmers started at three thousand litigants and Obama himself,intervened to continue the case for the other blacks that had never heard of this case being filed, so that they could file. Even this woman got money from the settlement that now has at last count 90,000 black farmers( how many really own farms of all these??) and they all will get in the millions of dollars each for some how perceiving that they were not given adequate treatment by the U.S. Gov’t and were denied help to hold on to their farms. The obama’s had to have known about her and set up with the video w/naacp and breitbart picked up what the NAacp put on the net. Of course the ‘white ‘ prez. jumped on it. And of course, he back tracked after supposedly just hearing about this woman. He knew it before hand and played his role very well. Breitbart should get to the bottom of this himself. There is more to this than meets the public eye. How could we have 90,000 black farmers when they all contend they were slaves???HUH??
