Shirley Sherrod

I'm not sure what to make of this issue. But since Fox News seems to deem it important, I thought I should dedicate a short post to it.

This woman, in my mind, is probably a racist. I know, I know, but her whole story was about racial transformation! I'm aware of that. But I'm also aware of the probable fact that more stories and more comments from Ms. Sherrod will likely surface regarding race. Because you have to look at the issue on a personal level. The woman's father was murdered by an unprosecuted white man. I could see the possibility of her being leery towards other white men because of that. However, that fact does not give her a pass to be racist to white people, for just because one white man was a bad person, does not allow the prejudiced grouping of white people as a whole to be bad people (a fact that some blacks were perfectly content with using in the case of King Samir Shabazz and the New Black Panther Party, but seem not to think relevant on the issue of slavery).

As Laura Ingraham so eloquently put it, Sherrod is not the Mother Theresa the biased left-wing media is making her out to be, but neither is she some racist raving lunatic ordering others to kill white people and their children. And thank goodness for that, because I just don't think I could take another one of those kooks.
