Default Fact by Fact, Line by Line

this article nails it on the head.

There are a lot of folks who wont be able to see the article for all the text... but its there, makes perfect sense, is factual and calls it like it is.

So this is the incident where someone released a tape and said ooolooky what a racist.
people jumped on the bandwagon and said ooh looky what a racist fire them
people then said oooh loky obama won't fire them cos he is a nigre too and a racist
the woman gets fired for buggring around a farmer who ain't got dark pigmentationm and the farmer who isn't a nigre says hold up she helped me , she didn't ******* me of my farm cos I ain't black.
So this story is a pile of bollox where people clamour "why don't you do something, you are evil for not taking us seriously" followed by the same people saying "why did you take us seriously?"

While I agree with a lot of it, I do have to ask where all the "facts" are? I see a lot of opinion, but not much actual verification.

It is full of "facts" because the opinions in the article happen to agree with GR's opinion.

Platapus...

It has nothing to do with my opinion, and everything to do with the fact that racism IS possible and does take place on both sides. Sad thing is... if you're a white guy who drops an N-Bomb or says something derogatory towards blacks in any way shape or form - no matter the severity, society has names for you...

wife beater, white trash, nascar fan, cracker, blanket stereotypical southerner etc.

When a black person says something derogatory or commits a racist act against any other race... what do you call them?





wait for it








a victim


I have not kept up with this whole Shirley Sherrod nonsense because i mostly was not interested in listening to any more garbage being spewed from either side... im so GD sick of it. Average America - IMHO - wants to move on, and the lot of these types of people and organizations mentioned in the article cant... or simply wont.

however, this article summarizes the Shirley Sherrod situation neatly and presents the cast of characters and the events in this effed up little scene nicely and in an orderly fashion.

I thought it was a well written article.

I also KNOW that if this had been a white person who made her comments - their ass would be lucky to find work or respect virtually anywhere on this planet ever again.

While I was no Obama fan during campaign season (still not), I did expect some change out of people when he became POTUS. Like I told my girlfriend the other day; the most powerful man in the world, the one with his finger on the nuclear annihilation button, is black! So why do we have all this racism bs still?

I had something profound to say to include this quote but I can't remember what I was going to say, but here's the quote anyways for your reading entertainment.

Quote:
There is no racial bigotry here. I do not look down on ******s, kikes, wops or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless.
