Luvvit.
Time to pop some corn.
:)
Ouch!
PIGS...and hypocritical pigs to boot.
Arrogance, shear arrogance.
My family in South Georgia treated their workers better than this.
I used to work as a sub contractor for a Mexican-American guy who paid me properly but would hire illegals for duty around his shop and pay them in pizza.
Think about Zimbabwe. There were thousands of blacks who worked at white owned farms, many learning skills and earning decent wages. Then comes along a black man who convinces them that their enemy is the white farmer. He turns their heart to hate the farmer because he is white and he “exploits” them.
“You should own the farm!” he preaches.
“These men are interlopers who stole your birthright” he claims.
So the blacks kill the whites, destroy the farms and now have no food or prosperity while the same black guy rules them with an iron fist.
This woman is a RACIST, her husband is a RACIST and no amount of white *friends* (that she hasn't seen for decades) or other folks can tell me otherwise.
***Imagine farm workers doing back breaking labor in the sweltering sun, sprayed with pesticides and paid less than minimum wage.***
Been there. Done that in Arkansas with white migrant workers in 1962 and 1963. There is no minimum wage for agriculture work. Got paid 1 1/2 cents a pound for picking green beans.
After a rain the beans were heavy and I made $5.00 one day! Then it got hot, the beans shrivled and I never made more than $2.80 a day even though I picked the same ammount of beans.
Never got sprayed with pesticides as the beans were ready for harvest. As kids in New Mexico we did run behind the truck spraying DDT for mosquitos on the Animas River. Never bothered us.
I've been saying this from the beginning. She and hubby were bought and paid for to go after these reparations.
I think I read early on that these farm workers were volunteers and no one showed up after a while and that's why the farm failed....NO ONE WAS FARMING!!!
The only thing that I have seen about New Communities, Inc. is that it’s something of a halfway house for previously convicted at risk black kids.
Are these kids and young adults also the labor force for New Communities, Inc?
I bet Andrew Brietbart(sp) is building quite a resume of Sherrod’s deeds. This is going to be quite the lawsuit that Shirley will wish she never brought. So lets have that dialog on race.
So, Shirley and Charlie Sherrod were massas of a plantation who mistreated their black workers!?! Did they use this exploitation of farm workers as the basis of their discrimination lawsuit?
