This story is so strange!
OK, Yesterday Breitbart posted a story about a woman (Shirley Sherrod) A video of her saying she didn't do as much for a white guy and how she felt he was trying to put her in her place. The part of the video he posted had her saying she did what her job said she must do but in effect she didn't go the extra mile. (no crime in not going the extra mile) the point is she did her job.
I think Breitbart should have told the WHOLE story instead of just the shocking stuff. It turns out that man she was speaking of has since been a family friend and spoke out for her. It turns out the reason she was telling this story is because she was telling a story about how she used to see skin color but that event changed her view on race and helped her realize it was not about race.
None of this was posted on the breitbart page and they should be ashamed of themselves.
BUT what is worse is she was fired yesterday. She said 3 different times she was told to resign because the white house wanted it. Now of course the white house denies her claim.
Also, the place she was working for when this event happened is not even the same job she currently does. They have nothing to do with eachother. If obama can over look racist feelings from the past ( and we know he can, just look at how he dealt with Robert Byrd and his preacher of 20 years) how come he can not over look this? This is an actual woman who has repented from her past racist feelings, came to terms with them and more importantly never did anything against the rules at work she just said she didn't go the extra mile for this guy. But in the end she did go the extra mile and saved the mans Farm.
This is a woman who should be celebrated. She is a woman who was brave enough to admit she had in the past had racist tendencies and or views and over came them. but instead she gets fired!
this Country is butt backwards!!!
