The reaction of the audience to her story is the relevant segment. They had NO PROBLEM with her apparent decision/attitude based on race.

Do you have a link to an interview from Fox with Ben Jealous of the NAACP regarding this incident?

Fox News has played the complete video I believe and it vindicated this woman.

She initially acted in a discriminatory manner to the white farmer but in the end came to realise this:

How do you know? Either you were there and this is your opinion, or you've viewed the video in it's entirety and you're holding out on the context so that we adopt your view.

Haven't you watched the video?

If you watch the video here:
Shirley Sherrod's Full, Unedited Speech [VIDEO]

At 17:30 there is laughter.

Another thing that you might not see is this video was a taped PROGRAM BY THE NAACP.....you might think that group would KNOW the context of her speech...

I believe y'all might find that Foxnews.com DID interview the Farmer in question....if you actually bothered to look.

Is this an invitation to discuss the context?

Throughout America's storied history there are many controversial lines within many speeches when viewed outside of the context of their entirety. There are just as many folks who would argue substance based upon these items, and we know it to be disingenuous at best; therefore, for those of us who know better, there should be no hesitation in doing, better.
