She did help the white farmer. In fact, she was appalled by the way he was treated by white lawyers and bureaucrats. Thats what made her "see the light" so to speak.
The white farmer credits her with saving his farm and told CNN that she was the nicest person he knows.
I seen her say that she later realized it was about those that have vs those that doesnt. I also clearly heard her say she took him to "one of his kind"I also heard her say she didnt give him the full resources she could have.
That is great that she finally did help the guy but if she was saying that about me I would be offended.
I've said repeatedly that I don't decry your, or anyones, success. But you still maintain the position that I hate it. What you're exhibiting is exactly why race relations have barely progressed in this nation. You simply can't get past what ails you. I'm not sure what you were raised thinking, but it appears that you believe white people despise black success. You have alot to learn. The scary part is that your a young adult. I would have thought that young adults would be the bearers of a new day in race relations. Obviously, I am way wrong.
I get my lesson's in race relations right here. From older white people like you. Your blind to your own prejudices and I really hope that one day you can overcome them. I see people for who they are from what they say. I have looked at your other posts...not just here and I can INFER from them what you already think about me and my kind.
I'm not going to defend myself against you, someone who hasn't even taken the time to actually read what I have said. You want me to have a victim mentality when actually, I do not and for you to keep trying to twist my words to make it seem like it, says to me a lot about you. I am able to say what I think of you, instead of whites, when in most of your posts about blacks, you generalize.
I was wrong to jump on her with out knowing all the facts. In the words of Obama, I acted stupidly. I don't completely fault Breitbart because that was all the tape he had though he did screw up by not finding out more. I think his main point was the audience reaction.....he should have made that clear from the beginning.
Though the audience reaction is still disturbing. The Obama admin owes get an apology too. I should ve followed Beck's lead on this one. Context matters.
Again, give this woman her job back and we need more people like her. I hope her audience learned somethig too
We may disagree on a lot of politics, but I respect you for admitting you jumped to conclusions.
Anyway, everyone jumped the gun on this issue. This woman lost her job over nothing and she has proven what she did 24 years ago was wrong. But people will still make an issue out of it.

I repped you for this very fair minded post. It seems that not many of us these days are able to admit it when they are wrong- even after finding out more facts and information on a given subject.
Kudos, and thanks for showing us that there is still such a thing as "a stand up guy" (or gal as the case may be).
I will say I think she is a marxist but she is not a racist and should not have been forced to resign. I feel bad that some of this outrage was directed at her and not the audience

I'd be interested in hearing what you think I think about your "kind." Feel free to paraphrase from my past posts. I'm confident there's nothing racist about anything i've said. If you can prove me wrong, i'll be the first one to concede it. But in doing so, be sure you have the proper context included. I refuse to defend anything that's taken out of context. Those who have tried to paint me as a racist have been thoroughly challenged on that claim. You can expect that I will challenge you on it as well.
Something tells me that your inference is nothing but predisposed thoughts on how white people view black success. For every post that you feel i've denigrated black people, I can show you a post proving you wrong. I've posted on this forum more than you have. I know the topics that have floated through here and I can navigate these waters quite effectively. Feel free to be the first to provide some of my own words.
