NAACP 'snookered' over video of former USDA director of Rural Development in Georgia Shirley Sherrod speech.

Cooper plays another clip of her speech which helps put what she says under context, that the farmer story she referred to was 24 years ago and was part of her transformation - it's not about black and white people but rich and poor people.

  • When it comes to the subject of racism--Andrew Breibart is like the heroin addict complaining about discrimination because the local pharmacy won‘t hire him---he has no credibility--no standing and he needs to go somewhere and STFU! Why does the MSM, when these people get on TV, allow them to avoid what they have done? Andrew Breibart is himself a racist and a pathological liar. No media would allow one of those idiots in the New Black Panther Party to come on TV and do this!

  • @jabberwolf It's really sad that you hear a criticism of white people in her comments. That's what you want to hear. The funny thing is that she would agree with you about the superiority of hard working farmers...that was the point of her comments. She saying that it's class that really divides people, not race. It's the wealthy classes at the seat of power that use superficial differences like race to divide people and she wants us to see beyond. Too bad you can't see that through your anger.

  • I love this woman.

  • How does the NAACP get snookered when they had this tape since the day she spoke?

  •  I hope Sherrod sues the shit out of Breitbart for his slander. And how gutless is the Obama administration for not even investigating?!

  • Replace Vilsak with Shirley Sherrod.

  • @ActaNonVerba71

    Brilliant Statement!!!! Classism has always been the issue.

  • This women is so smart! Race is an illusion but class is the real issue. Fight the real fight and stop thinking like slaves! We are all being pimped!

  • @jabberwolf - she said her initial instinct was racially motivated, but she soon saw that error and learned from and moved past it. Have you not listened to the whole speech?

  • @jabberwolf 'they' is the establishment. And deep inside you, you know you are not being honest to this story. have a good day
