If they reinstate her,another 'double standard' will have been established. Her position does not allow her to 'decide' between white/black or otherwise...

I wonder WHY the administration was so quick to force her to resign,to the point she had to pull over on the side of the road while driving...

Seems very odd.

Of course no-one really cares to delve into the reasoning,instead they will attempt to divert the topic elsewhere.

The POINT of Andrew releasing the video:

» NAACP Statement on Resignation of Shirley Sherrod - Big Government

Quote:
The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action.
The NAACP members in the audience DID NOT know the path her story would take, yet they applauded, laughed and generally agreed with her behavior toward the white farmer.

That is what Andrew has articulated. He had no interest in Sherrod being fired. He displayed the racist tendencies of the NAACP membership through their reactions to her story.

Fox didn't report on this story until AFTER Sherrod resigned, so that old saw of the Left, FOXNEWSFOXNEWSFOXNEWS, is moot.

Do you have a link to an interview from Fox with Mr. Spooner and his wife?

Do you have a link to the complete video so that we can see the attendees reaction to the entire presentation?

That is of course being ignored...

When in reality that is the issue,not Sherrod's initial bigotry 20+ years ago but the reaction of the NAACP members just THIS YEAR....
