FACTS & CONTEXT: NAACP VS. BREITBART VIDEOS & TRANSCRIPT OF
USDA official Shirley Sherrods speech at the NAACP 20th Annual Freedom Fund Banquet on March 27, 2010.
First are the excerpt videos released by Andrew Breitbart. Transcripts and timeline have been added. Once the NAACP released the full video of their March event, Breitbart published the full video as well. The NAACP full video proved that Breitbart videos were continuous excerpts of Sherrods speech without being cut and edited as many in the press are reporting. FoxNews has also provided a timeline of their coverage. (video, report) At the bottom is the full video released by the NAACP. Full transcript has been added to the NAACP video.
Highlighted in yellow is Sherrods so-called redemption or revelation (that it is not about blacks vs. whites) which was included in the first video released by Breitbart.

".....does anyone know who killed him and why?" He was shot by a white farmer (name not revealed as he was not indicted) during a dispute over the ownership of some livestock.

Who knows.
The point is that it need not have been excerpted.
Unless one is trolling for blog hits.

Does this include her recent remarks that Barack doesnt understand because he did not grow up as other Black Americans did?I knew that eventually Barack's sqandering of the first black presidency in relation to black interests would bubble up to the surface, just like a Gulf oil spill.

you know, its sad that we dont have a room full of white and blacks here tonight, cause we have to overcome the divisions that we have. If I want to sit in a room with people telling me how wrong I am, I will invite my mother-in-law to join my wife and I for dinner.

His staff was texting her to let her know that he wanted to meet with her to discuss this.
He still has not met with Cindy Sheehan (although President Bush DID).

I wonder what Shirley thinks about the thousands of blacks who were slave owners? or the ones who were slave breeders and sold their own children into slavery.

Many blacks in America lay claim to slave ancestry, he cannot because his ancestors sold them. Hussein is from Kenyan stock. They sold slaves back in the days of the slave-trading.

Thank you very much for saving me the homework. :)
To: Cyber Liberty
And blacks in this country
sold their fellow blacks into slavery. Some were slave breeders, thousands of blacks were slave owners.
These facts don't fit the liberal narrative so you don't learn about them in government schools.

Many blacks in America lay claim to slave ancestry Yeah, and the British held the Scots as slaves or worse for a couple of hundred years.
Where be the outrage!
Those bastards OPENLY considered Scots as subhuman and barely capable of language.
Granted, Scots in large were hillbillies and fairly crude.
Heck, some of us still are.

Her hubby Charles was a real activist...I'm thinking they had already married and the father was killed because of his activities. That's why she doesn't pursue anything. Was hubby one of the witnesses??
As far as life long friends with the white farmer....that's been proven baloney...they haven't talked to each other in years and Shirley thought Mama Spooner was dead.
I can't find a date for her birth date or the Sherrod marriage.
I also found a story that she was trying to register to vote...the law was just being changed...almost sounds like she was lying about her age in order to register.
IMHO, The real story is about reparations.

VIDEOS RELEASED BY ANDREW BREITBART
7/19/2010 AT 8:18AM BREITBART RELEASES THE FIRST TWO VIDEOS Blog title: Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism2010, video link
TRANSCRIPT OF BREITBARTS VIDEO:
Shirley Sherrod: The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he he took a long time talking, but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing. But he had come to me for help. What he didnt know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me, was I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him. [audience chuckled]
I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So, I didnt give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough so that when he I I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the or the Georgia Department of Agriculture. And he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him.
So I took him to a white lawyer that we had that had
attended some of the training that we had provided, cause Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farmer. So I figured if I take him to one of them that his own kind would take care of him.
Thats when it was revealed to me that, yall, its about poor versus those who have, and not so much about white it is about white and black, but its not you know, it opened my eyes, cause I took him to one of his own
I didn't see the original release, the one that has called all the dust-up, but was going on what was being said, first by Beck, later by FReepers, some other media types. From the very beginning, I was under the impression that the first video released by Breitbart did NOT include this last paragraph, the "opened my eyes" baloney that Glenn and the rest seem to consider *exculpatory*. Now come to find out it WAS there the whole time, that part was not excluded from the initial excerpt (which is not an EDIT) at all.
HOW IN THE WORLD HAVE SO MANY FALLEN FOR THIS TRIPE, THAT MS. SHERROD WAS WRONGLY CHARGED, FALSELY ACCUSED, TREATED BADLY??

Why not post it here? Why post excerpts?
Are blog hits more important than getting the information out?
Pick a priority, do.

I'm thinking they had already married and the father was killed because of his activities. No. He was killed in 65 when she was 17. She met her husband in college. Her father was killed in a dispute with a white farmer over livestock.

"Her hubby Charles was a real activist...I'm thinking they had already married and the father was killed because of his activities. That's why she doesn't pursue anything. Was hubby one of the witnesses??"In an interview with her that I heard yesterday, she said that she was a seventeen year old high school senior in 1965 when her father was killed. Since she is 62 now, so that matches. She also said that prior to her father's death she was determined to go to college in the North and meet someone there to marry, and never, ever to return to the South. After her father's death she decided to stay in Georgia. When, sometime later, the civil rights movement became in earnest in the area in which she lived, the man who was eventually to become her husband came there and was involved as an organizer. That was how they met.
