Shirley Sherrod unmasked

If you had the impression that Shirley Sherrod was still the racist she named herself in the video that got her fired, but still believed that it was only whites that she was OK with mistreating, you may want to read an article written by a Liberal activist about Sherrod's New Communities Incorporated (NCI).
Ron Wilkins tells a story of long hard hours of work for less than minimum wage, exposure to pesticides, unjustified firings and even trumped up arrests of NCI employees who had the temerity to complain.
Even the United Farmworkers Union saw the treatment of workers (many under 16 years old) as cause for action and they moved in to organize the workers.
NCI hastily paid off the workers in an attempt to stop unionization.
Sherrod blames others for the eventual failure of NCI, but fails to "confess" these facts as she confessed her mistreatment of a white farmer.

Will the "objective" media let us hear this story, written by a Liberal and posted on a Liberal website?
Will they trumpet the truth as loudly as they shoveled their spin on her "undeserved" dismissal?
