The Shirley Sherrod story of a black administrator that was biased against "white" people and was subseqently fired and then rehired will not be taught in history books of government school children. As the story progressed to its conclusion she grew as a human being and realised her destiny in helping the "poor" people in her jurisdiction and not just the black race. The forest of the problem, however, is that the group of people she was addressing at the time was a group of black racists that were eating it up as they were entertained by the "white man" getting his. Any form of separationism e.g. Black Caucus, NAACP, Miss Black America, La Rosa are a form of racism. If anyone belonged to the "WASP Society for a Better America" there would be outcries of racism but not for other ethnic and racial groups? This just doesn't sit right.
Another small point that was brought up as Shirley talked to her racist listeners is the implication that she was compelled by her race to make sure those of her ethinicity were better taken care of than anyone else. I have experienced and heard of black favortism in the government workplace. Once again the head of discrimination rears its head. I am sorry that the leader of America got egg on his face again but he choose these advisors that just do not check their facts before they present them.
