I will cop to the fact that many black folks hate white folks. I would argue with good reason but I will even let that go.

To say there is little or no evidence of racism in the Tea Party is retarded. Even for you.


I would argue with good reason how long are blacks going to have a racist chip on their shoulders? I will even let go that fact that conservatives, not liberals, freed blacks from slavery in this country.

To imply there is similar (video) evidence of racisim in the Tea Party, without posting one/more links to thereto, is moronic. But that's typical for you.


Pat yourself on the shoulder.....

Here is how RacistJim refers to our President....

Thank you for that plain, simple, and irrefutable FACT. What our milato racist POTUS's black racist AG's racist DOJ effectively did was pardon two black racist thugs who were fairly and justly convicted FELONS.

It is the premise of your position that she did not say that the farmer was racist?

E



Perspective is a sons-a-bitch, we have the woman's side of her story. But she was dealing with a man that most likely was getting a good does of humility before he ever met her. His farm was going under, his confidence in his ability as a farmer was most likely suffering and that, I assume, is surely something he took great pride in.

I remember in the ealier 80's when the farm recession hit many really good farmers and that crisis was sparked in no small part by the fuel crisis of the late 70's, accompanied by massive inflation and soaring interests rates. None of which can be controlled or prepared for often enough by the farmer. In such a crisis the results of such hit us all different, so perspective is always a matter of position and relative effect. Many proud farmers were left to surrender family farms or beg for help. How many of us, no matter our field of endevour are eager to face such a challange.

That being said this farmer may have been a racist, I have no idea, but it seems to me that often enough simple personality clashes, differences of business opinion or just plain cultural seperations tend to be labelled as racist sentiment when they are not.

Just remember that when a man takes pride in his craft and he comes upon hard times he will often go out of his way and over emphasize his abilities, perhaps to the point of sounding superior, in order to not sound incompetent.

But not having sat in on the meeting these people shared I'm left to wonder about a great many things.

Just an opinion from America's heartland.


Perspective.......................

Very nicely written. I agree 100%.

But the woman was fired because she allowed race to enter the picture and cloud her judgment in performing her job.

I went to school with a fairly significant number of farmers. Probably the hardest working group of people I have ever seen in my life.

Maybe the guy WAS racist.  Maybe he WAS trying to show her he was superior to her.   I would like to think that he wasn't, that he was just pleading for help, trying to show her that what he was capable of was worth saving.  But what if he was the biggest flaming racist any of us have ever met? 

She had a job to do, and she allowed her own personal assumptions to make the decision for her.  THAT is a problem.  How many more people slip through and allow this to happen?  How many other people are making decisions based on their own racist/discriminatory views?

It was just standard boring stuff - events coming up, Treasurer's report, etc.  All procedural - no talk of race relations at all.

I am sure all white people are proud that no white person in a position of power ever used that power to be less than helpful to a person of color.
I am equally sure that all white bigots are dancing with joy that they have found an instance of a black person using a position of power to fuck over a white person, thus they are now totally exonerated for any and all bigotry perpetrated in thier name.

There are probably white people out there that do it too.  That's wrong on every single level possible, regardless of skin color. 

I'm not dancing with joy either.  I think that it's good for the public to see things like this, though.  It seems like every time I turn around, I'm  being blamed for being white because of what happened for so long ago.  It seems to me that there's a lot of racism from every corner of the color wheel, whether white, black, brown, yellow, red, purple.

Until we stop blaming each other for the color of our skin, racism will thrive.

Meaning what exactly?  That I fully admit that there are white people who are racist and allow that racism to cloud their judgment?  That's wrong?

Breitbart took you in again. How many times are you going to let the same guy lie to you.

The clip is edited so you didn't know that the events in question happened 24 years ago. She was not a federal employee at the time but was working for a private non profit. She overcame her racial issues and she and the farmer became friends and she did help the man save his farm. This woman just lost her job because a liar found a way to manipulate her telling how she became a better person into a bad thing and you people fell for it, again.

Breitbart is proof that PT Barnum overestimated the intelligence of most people.

When did this whole reverse racism outrage start?

Was it somewhere about the time we elected a black President?


You have never heard the term reverse racism before Obama. Seriously? You really believe this is something they just made up in the last year?



No, I believe it is something that has been actively promoted since Obama took office.

So maybe you can explain to me why it has become such an issue only recently.
