Shirley sherrod made a comment 20 years ago in an effort to educate her listening audience on the power of change. In an effort to diminish her chracter & to stick it to the NAACP, the conservative blogger created sound bits that portrayed Ms. Sherrod as a racist. Within hours the Secretary of Aggriculture Vilsack coerce Shirley Sherrod to submitt her resignation. To add more insult to injury the media & news pundits dubbed her as a racist (the only exception was CNN, who supported her). How in the world can the NAACP, the white house & America be upset at the comments of Shirley Sherrod that was made 20 years ago but we over looked all of the racist comments & discriminatory behavior that occurs daily. How is it possible that the USDA forced her to resign but Imus recieved a slap on the risk when he called Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos". I am eagerly waiting to see how will the white house and civil rights leaders respond to this miscarriage of both justice & power!
