ATLANTA — A black federal worker has resigned from a Georgia agricultural job after a video clip showed her saying she had not helped a farmer as much as she could have because he was white.

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a statement Tuesday he had accepted the resignation of Shirley Sherrod. Vilsack says the USDA has no tolerance for discrimination.

National NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous welcomed the resignation because the group opposes racism of all kinds.

Track her. She’ll get a job with some loony leftist organization within an Obamafibsecond.

(Obamafibsecond is the time between Obama’s first lie and the second one refuting it.)

She worked for the USDA and spoke at a NAACP function. The opening is in the federal government.

She resigned? Why wasn’t she fired? I’ll bet she gets some nice benefits for “resigning”.

She needs to identify this man.

Or else, she needs to be audited for EVERY person she worked with who was white and sued by every one of them.

We have always known it was there.

It is time to start calling it out when you are dealing with other races and believe you are being treated with discrimination because you are white.

Document it, go to store manager, the agency head, or the owner when you perceive you are being discriminated against.

Make sure you make your case and SUE them!

This racism, as whites become a smaller and smaller segment of the population, is going to get worse before it gets better if we don’t call it out when it happens.

This will disappear from the news forever, beginning now. But watch FR carefully, cuz in the next year or so, this thing will have a high paying job high up in the 0bama administration where she can be discriminate against achievers all she wants.

There are some black people that have an incredible chip on their shoulder when dealing with white people. I ran into one at LAX at the Hertz counter. She was really nasty, was incredibly annoyed by any question I asked, and was projecting that I was really wasting her time by renting from Hertz.

I finally said, “You have quite an attitude, don't you. Can I speak to your supervisor?”.

At that point she said that talking to her supervisor was not necessary and she was nice as could be for the rest of the transaction. Go figure.

Paging the white farmer guy who lost his farm....

Went to the doctor for a sinus infection two weeks ago. The nurse’s aide had zero time for me and let me know it.

Asked me what was wrong and I said I was pretty sure I had a sinus infection because over the years I have had a number of them. She said in a snide fassion “you aren’t doing drugs are you”.

I am 60 years old. Never in my life has a Doctor, much less a nurse, asked me anything like that, and then to be asked it in such a demeaning manner! I never said anything at the time, but I should have complained about her manners, demeaner, and statement. Never again.

The media focuses oh her.

She’s a racist, but no one in her audience objects. In fact you can hear remarks like: “that’s right...” in the background.

It’s about the whole organization, not just this crazy woman.

And they got millions for ‘the largest black owned, farm land’...

More telling than on racist Democrat operative is that she said this in front of a crowd and didn’t get booed or heckled because of it. Flip the races and imagine the reaction from the crowd. Unless she’s speaking for a KKK rally, she’d get some negative reaction for her racism.
