NAACP Racist resigns

Shirley Sherrod was the administration's appointee to the Georgia USDA.
She gave a speech to an NAACP group at their 20th Annual Freedom Fund Banquet where she admitted to treating a white farmer with less respect purely because of his race.
One telling remark by Ms Sherrod was her assertion that the farmer was attempting to establish his "superiority" over her during their conversation.
Somehow that makes me believe that Sherrod was the one with superiority issues.
After the NAACP essentially called the Tea Party racist, Andrew Breitbart posted the video of Sherrod's speech, leading to her resignation and the NAACP's acceptance of the assertion that she was overtly racist in her speech.
It is nice to see the left painting itself into a corner and forced to throw their own under the bus, but the real wrong committed here is that the NAACP knew this woman made this speech and did nothing until they were forced to.


Update: More video of the speech has been released revealing that Sherrod may have pointed out later in her speech that the incident woke her up to the reality that her job was about who needed help, not what skin color they possessed.
She claims the speech was about making people realize that all of the poor need the NAACP's help.
If this is true, she is owed an apology by all.
