Days after the NAACP clashed with Tea Party members over allegations of racism, a video has surfaced showing an Agriculture Department official regaling an NAACP audience with a story about how she withheld help to a white farmer facing bankruptcy -- video that now has forced the official to resign. (snip)
The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after FoxNews.com published its initial report on the video, that Sherrod had resigned.

She’s located in Albany, GA in the southwest part of the state. Reporters and lawyers need to go down there and interview white farmers. They need to expose the corruption.
Just like there is a class action discrimination case of black farmers against the Federal government, maybe this is the beginnings of a class action suit by white farmers. Also, it is certainly plausible that this overt racism by the Obama Administration is not confined to agriculture. How many more landmines are out there just waiting for those with the determination and financial backing to take them to court?
Oh it’s been posted all right- it’s ALL over the web. Thank God for Breitbart!
I can’t wait for the lawsuits to start. For the first time, I support them.
R - I - G - H - T.
\sarc.
Thing is, she got away with this sort of mentality for so long, and still would be today (actively waging economic war against White America), if not for the video.
OBambi. . .thanks for making us a “post racial” nation.
You can tell how huge & toxic this story is by the unprecedented immediate reaction from Tom Vilsack and now the NAA(R)CP -- National Assoc for the Advancement of (Racist) Colored People. Normally the leftist media and 0b0z0's socialist racist gubmint would have first tried to ignore the story, then let it fester & percolate for a couple weeks, and then finally have let her go. Instead because this is so volatile & toxic, that points out the hypocrisy of the left & the racist blacks in this country, not only does Vilsack immediately fire her, but now even the NAA(R)CP has apologized for "one of their own kind". Unbelieveable! That is what really clues me in as to how toxic this would have been and perhaps still could be for the racist mongering blacks & 0b0z0's racist regime. I have no doubt there are hundreds of similar stories & videos from other racist black gatherings & groups around the country, including racist remarks from the Congressional Black Caucus or Hispanic Caucus. BTW, when do we start a Congressional White Caucus?
Yes she was - SOMEBODY at that meeting released the video, anonymously as far as I can tell.
>t isn’t often that Government officials publicly state open bias against people based on skin color.
Perhaps not publicly, but they certainly do personally in the arena of official government business affairs.
I represented one (white)woman whose husband died & when she went to apply for food stamps she was basically kicked out of the office in Norristown, Pa.
The black caseworker stated to her: “Its people like you who are taking money away from our people.”
Were it not for the fact that she recorded this on her cell phone, the entire affair would have been ignored.
As it turns out, nothing whatsoever was done to the caseworker and she still holds that position today.
Black racism is well entrenched in the NE. - Learn to fight because it isnt going to get any better - ever.
Just a lil more evidence of what everyone already knows.
It’s not just ‘toxic’..it is against the law. This HAS to be investigated and charges brought against this woman and the USDA. We should demand an accounting of every federal dollar this woman had her hands on to ascertain whether reverse discrimination has been institutionalized at the USDA and other government bureaucracies.
Google the lawsuit this woman was involved in. It will blow your mind. Obama and Holder awarded the claimants 1.25 BILLION DOLLARS in a suit that had gone no-where since the 1980’s because it was nothing more than reparations through the back door. Not even Clinton had touched this ridiculous suit, but it was one of the first things Obama did when he took office. This woman and her husband got over 13 million dollars right before Vilsack put her in the USDA seat. They don’t want us digging into where this money has gone. That’s why she has been canned so fast. They want this to go away.
Here we are, in the worst recession in a decade and Obama and Holder give these clowns 1.25 BILLION DOLLARS! Congress has not funded the whole amount yet and we need to make some major noise.
They have alrady segregated themselves. Look around...
You need to send this information to Hannity. He will blow this wide open.
Plausible? You can bet your 401k on it.
See for yourself. Accompany one of your parents when they go to the social security administration and experience first hand how you are treated by someone of your own race versus someone else. I have. It took the intervention of my local congress person to undo some of the damage that was done - I believe - intentionally.
‘White farmer’?
Has American become just another South Africa or Zimbabwe now?
My guess is that many people are already looking into this and/or know about it. I’m certain Breitbart does. He has more tapes coming out that will probably tie it all together. We should call the Agriculture Committee in Congress and demand an investigation into the USDA and this woman. Here are the links for those interested:

The NAACP released a statement late Monday condemning Sherrod’s admission.
“We are appalled by her actions, just as we are with abuses of power against farmers of color and female farmers,” the statement said.
“Her actions were shameful,” it continued. “While she went on to explain in the story that she ultimately realized her mistake, as well as the common predicament of working people of all races, she gave no indication she had attempted to right the wrong she had done to this man.”
So where’s their “apology” for having FarrahCon-Man and “Rev.” Wright as speakers? Or for the thousands of white and Asians who’ve been screwed out of admissions, jobs, or promotions because of discriminatory quotas?
DU`ers are claiming she and the farmer became great friends and are accusing conservatives of trying to stir the racial pot.
Look for her to become the Reparations Czar.
