She speaking to the NAACP for God's sakes! She knew who her audience was! White people?! Give me a break! The NAACP is one of the most racially divisive outfits out there!

No, I think that You abhor it.

However, I know way more white people than you probably know black. I went to a majority white college and am in a field of profession where most teachers are white. I live in a mostly white suburban area of Philly, and like I said my family is white and black. You and me are two different people. I was raised color blind, while you hold some sort of grudge. And your posts are evident!

Please stop talking to me on this thread unless you would like to DM me.

The audience was still the NAACP. The audience still cheered her anti-white actions. For that reason, this story is not without merit. While she herself may not be a racist, its clear that "racist elements" are alive and well. I didn't hear any boos or verbal disdain from the crowd. I heard muffled cheers and laughing. For that reason, Sherrod may get a pass, but the NAACP does not. Amazingly, Sherrod herself blames the NAACP for her conflict.

No way...she was in effect 'bragging' and not one of the NAACP leaders at that speech protested or rebuked her story...instead,they applauded....and she made light of it trying to make jokes.

The NAACP was founded by several white people and also had a white female chapter president. The NAACP also has Hispanic chapters within its ranks.

Is this a joke?

She should be thrown in jail for 1) extorting the federal government of millions of dollars in a frivolous lawsuit and 2) admitting to denying help to someone initially because he was White.

That's nuts. If the lady was white and acted like that towards a black person you'd be screaming to have her house burned down.

True but many of us jumped on her and we shouldnt have. She rose above much if what we hate, and some of our quick reactions and mis placed harsh words were wrong.
The obama admin screwed up too by forcing her out.

The first black president of the NAACP wasn't elected until 1975. But you have to keep in mind that the extent of AeroGuyDC's knowledge of the NAACP comes from what O'Reily, Beck, and Hannity tell him every night on Fox News.
