Your Government, Working For You
— Ace

Sherrod, the video informs, is responsible for distributing $1.2 billion in federal grants to Georgia Agriculture.

Faced with a white farmer whose farm was in Chapter 12, she decided she wouldn't do "the full force" of what she could do to help him, because she was concerned about black folks losing their farms. She admits here she did "enough" so that if he spoke to others in the Department of Agriculture, he would have to admit she'd done something. But that's it.

She took him to one of "his own," a white lawyer, regarding Chapter 12. Apparently that federal money was personally earmarked by Sherrod for the exclusive use of black farmers.

This is all going to end very, very poorly - with all credit for that going to The Uniter In Chief and his post-partisan, post-racial, world-class temperament.

heh...Isn't this fun one side pretends not to care that the other side are a bunch of blatant racists. If whites had voted for McCain simply because he was white, as blacks did when they voted overwhelmingly for Captain Kickass, they would have been branded racists...

Post racial indeed...what is happening are a whole bunch of folks are having the blinds ripped from their eyes about everything they have given up these past few decades in an apparent vain attempt to get closer to the otherside. They hate whitey pure and simple....all that remains to be seen is will whites return the favor, giving Captain Kickass the excuse he needs to declare martial law.

21 Reverse the races in this, and imagine the firestorm.

Thank you Osama Obama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Shabazz Holder, NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus and the Black Panthers. Your efforts have destroyed racial harmony in America. You have done what Exalted Cyclops and his idiotic hordes couldn't manage.

White people bear some responsibility for this, too. If we hadn't learned our "lessons" so well, we would have rejected the whole lunatic notion of race guilt and would have followed Dr King's teachings about character versus race. Instead, we helped build a massive pile of steaming preferences of the kind that have allowed the Traitor-in-Chief and other race-hustlers slither through life without ever doing an honest hour's work.

35 "He was trying to show me that he was superior to me.."

How would the farmer be in a position to do that?   He had already filed for Chapter 12.  That this farmer was going to this woman for help meant that she was his last resort before losing everything.  Did he not acknowledge her "superiority" enough? 

The farmer should sue the ass off this woman for discrimination.  Oh wait, whites by definition can't be "discriminated" against because they're in the power structure. What fucking bullshit.

#39, amen.

I should ban myself from the Internets and bid myself adieu for my racism, but white middle-class America's view on the "fuck Whitey" industry is kind of like white middle-class America's view on Islamic terrorism. "Oh, I can't be the one they're mad at. Why are they mad at me? I never did anything to them...."

At the risk of cribbing from Web Griffin, the reason Islam caught on in America among the blacks (I've met Africans, these fuckers ain't African any more than I'm German) is the Islamics and the blacks have both been left behind by the modern world and both groups need a scapegoat. Us white people who have jobs got picked to be the scapegoat.

Until they take all of our shit and destroy what they don't want, we're going to be their target. It's not a color of the skin issue, except for them, it's a culture issue.

And denying that we are living on their bullseye target is going to get us absolutely nowhere.

Posted by: SGT Dan at July 19, 2010 10:47 AM (GgXZc)

92 I think the big takeaway here needs to be that a people who have been historically oppressed can still be as flawed as any other of their fellow humans. Saintliness must be earned--it cannot be awarded by fiat because it is desired for it to be so, rendering the recipient immune from all criticism.

We can understand the historical flows and forces that brought us to the point where Ms. Sherrod said what she said--indeed, it would be more remarkable if feelings like this did not eventually bubble up to the surface. Honor demands they do so. They were hit. They have not yet been able to hit back fully.  And even those who may not wish to hit can be forgiven if the well-being of the group that oppressed them in former times is not their highest priority.

But a continuing Oresteia can not be a solid basis for a constitutional Republic--and the strength of numbers is not such that people like Ms. Sherrod will ever be able to hit back fully should those they would wish to hit not acquiesce.

We simply have a choice. We can understand the faults of humanity, celebrate the victories over those faults; remonstrate against our losses in the fight (knowing that those who dealt us the losses may also have been the architects of the victories); and resolve to do that which continues the work of the continuing progress of man towards greater knowledge and responsible liberty--or we can wallow in our common baseness, forever engaged in the same old struggle which says "this for me and mine, and nothing for you". Whether the ape with his first club, or the Hun coming over the hill, or the African enslaving a captive, or the Englishman who bought him, it is the same old story. The use of power because we desire something; the use of power without regard to righteousness; and the use of power that does not treat each as we wish to be treated. But it is a story that can change, has been changed, and can continue to change--if we want it to.  

I am American. Americans do not do as Ms. Sherrod says. I am an American. Americans can and have done exactly as Ms. Sherrod did, for it is our common humanity that causes it to be so, and the very liberty that allows for the success can also create the failure.

It is up to us to determine which kind of Americans we will be.

#92, you're an optimist and an idealist. Gods bless you. 

Me, I think the entire planet is backsliding into tribalism and violence. The prosperity we've taken for granted is an aberration in human history, and I think the party is about to end.

Read down the last half dozen posts on the main page, and look at the themes tying them together.

Economic institutions are crumbling. Various combinations of ink and paper will be worth less than their ingredients, and all those electronic accounts will go away when a functioning electrical power grid is beyond our capabilities.

Political power is devolving into the hands of a worldwide unelected elite. At the local level that power is being used in classic banana republic fashion to reward the politically  connected. Amnesty will bring in umpteen million of the newly politically connected to be added to the Democrat coalition the same way LBJ bought the black vote in perpetuity.

That same government power will be turned against you if you have something that a politically connected constituency wants. They can "eminent domain" your house away from you, shut down your small business, confiscate your personal wealth, and soon will be able to withold medical care.

The ability to light, cool, or heat your home or preserve food with refrigeration will be up for grabs if Cap and Trade is passed.

We the disarmed and dependent peasant class will be expected to live in huts or tents in a less than medieval lifestyle while the ruling class drives by in limos or private jets en route from one gathering of the priviliged to another. Rhodesia times a thousand.

Fuck that shit. I won't go out like that.

I am American. Americans do not do as Ms. Sherrod says. I am an American. Americans can and have done exactly as Ms. Sherrod did, for it is our common humanity that causes it to be so, and the very liberty that allows for the success can also create the failure.

Bullshit...when one side is at war you telling the otherside that they have to refrain because it makes us better persons is just simply bullshit. This fuckers are planning on fucking you over and you are feeling their fucking pain. Please. Fuck them...to hell.

99 We are going to have to face this racist crap head on.  We have been muzzled too long now.  Dancing on the head of a pin to keep from providing the race mongers any ammunition to use against us does nothing but encourage more charges.  The word "racist" has been hijacked for the exclusive use of minorities against whites.  What we are seeing now is racism against whites from every angle available.  These race mongers are doing more to hurt themselves in the long run than they think they are doing to "get even".  These affirmative action post turtles are making caricatures of themselves that won't long be forgotten.  What do you call people who want to be more than equal?

Apparently this government drone believes in "separate but equal" application of the law.  On little problem, that has been ruled to be unconstitutionaly by the U.S. Supreme Court decades ago.  She said that the white (I heard "cracker") farmer talked too long and tried to show his superiority to her.  Maybe the poor guy was embarrassed and way trying to explain away mistaken decisions.

Regardless, she has certainly admitted to nonfeasance.  I've worked cases with victims that I didn't particularly like or have a lot of sympathy for them.  However, I did my job as a professional.  I sure as hell never thought to myself, 'That person's black, they need a black cop.'

A number of years ago, I worked a drunk-driving case in which a intoxicated pedestrian was killed by an intoxicated driver.  It just so happened that the pedestrian was black and the driver was white.  There were enough aggravating circumstances (speeding in well-lit residential area) that I got a conviction for Vehicular Manslaughter.  Apparently, I don't have a sophisticated racial outlook.

I've never owned slaves.  My father never owned slaves.  My grandfathers never owned slaves.  I've never oppressed minorities of any type, nor have I seen it done by the government.  I have, however, been exposed to reverse racism via affirmative action.  I have, however, seen many instances of minorities using racial profiling as a means of being above the law.  I have, however, seen my tax dollars being used for the welfare of minority classes.

Now please point out to me the real racism in America today.

107 FYI: Shirley Sherrod was a litigant in a plaintiff's case suing the USDA for failing to give grant money to black farmers at the same time she was appointed by Secretary Vilsack to her position in Georgia. http://is.gd/dytoM In February of this year the USDA announced a settlement in that case. The USDA pledged to issue 1.2 billion in grants to black farmers pending appropriations approval from the Congress. http://is.gd/dytqn

108 Just a guess here since I am not a farmer, but if I really wanted or needed USDA grants to operate my farm I would probably file an application seeking funds for soybeans, corn, or wheat since that is basically 99% of USDA grant fund crops. Expecting funds for me Mescutin Grapes is rolling the two dice trying to get a 13.

114 This isn't an NAACP scandal -- this is an Obama scandal. 

This woman is a bureaucrat working under the USDA, an executive agency headed by a Cabinet-level secretary, tasked with being in charge of acting as a MAJOR conduit for Obama's "Recovery" program. 

The Obama administration just admitted to overt racial discrimination, to handing out your tax dollars to blacks just for being black, while sending whites out the back door to "one of their own." 

This is a huge political scandal, not just another embarrassing moment for the NAACP.

This racist cyst says the farmer was trying to prove he was better than her.  I don't think her interpretation is correct.  Just as her view of her job description is ... ahem ... colored by her racism, I'd be willing to bet the farm her racism colored her interpretation of the situation. 

The farmer thought he was there to see a gov't moneyman; someone who could save his farm.  I'll bet he was indeed talking a lot.  He was probably presenting his case to impress on her that his farm was worth saving.  That if the gov't gave him the money, he'd be a good investment that would thrive.  He probably suffered from the delusion that she was giving him a fair hearing.  He didn't realize she was a disgusting pig who would intentionally withold resources simply based on his light skin tone.

119 Black farmers WERE discriminated against. It was and is a national scandal. It went on for decades. The USDA screwed them over, royally, because of their race.

It had nothing to do with this White farmer.

I understand Sherrod's desire for payback. To "get even." On any White guy. Particularly one she has to make a big point of how she is superior to him.

But here's the thing. Us White guys can't change our skin color. We can't. We would if we could, to something other than White, but we can't. We're stuck being White.

And we know, positively, through this video, that any Black official (or Mexican or Asian or what have you) can very likely harbor racial animus towards us based on our skin color and screw us over while doing things to deny the plausibility of it, i.e. Sherrod's words that she did the minimum possible.

If Government was a distant thing of no concern to us, oh well.

But this ought to be a wake-up call to every White guy who has a net worth of less than $50 million. Your risk for being screwed over by the Government through a non-White official is huge, and really unbounded.

You can't tell if a non-White official will decide to screw you over, or not. There's no way to know. And Government controls now every aspect of your life including your BMI fat index.

So ... the way to min your risk is to make sure as few non-Whites are in Government AS POSSIBLE. This means no Michael Steeles, no Col. Alan Wests, no Bobby Jindals, regardless of party affiliation. The temptation for racial/ethnic payback (because Whites DID do terrible things to non-Whites) is just too large, and the damage too great. I can't afford the downside of a West or a Jindal if they turn out to be closet "punish the White Guy" types like Sherrod and I don't see an upside.

No groveling apology for things that had nothing to do with you will change anyone's heart. You can however prevent a Sherrod from ever taking office by voting against all Dems and against all non-White candidates. Is that ugly? Sure! No one likes it. I certainly don't.

But I'm concerned with the practical. About being screwed over in any one of a myriad ways by a non-White determined to punish me for my White skin over things that were done, evil things, that I had nothing to do with.

Again, if Government were distant, irrelevant, and small and unimportant who'd care? I wouldn't. But because it is none of those things this is how I vote.

I never owned slaves nor did my family. We are farmers and have never taken government money but I lnow plenty of Georgia farmers and I am sending this to all of them. Fuck her.

You pitiful piece of shit....that is the sorriest comment I have ever read in 10 years of reading comments.

I am proud of being white.  But I won't mention it unless those stacks of shit insist on acting like I owe them something for being white. Slavery sucked, it sucked for white folks who were slaves, it sucked for yellow folks who were slaves, it sucked for the black folks that were slaves...slavery sucks.

Btw white folks stopped slavery....not yellow, brown or black folks.

124 This pisses me off for so many reasons...  anyone who is looking for a loan isn't going to "talk down" to the person they need help from. If you go into a bank for a loan, you're not going to be an an asswipe to the banker. So I call Bullshit on that  bit.

I could see her point of not wanting to help him if she'd said the guy had a history of making bad business decisions, or he was a crappy farmer who had regular crop failures. I could almost see her reasoning if the guy was a certifiable jerk because he just pissed her off... but she treated him the way she did because he was white.  The beotch has no shame.

86 I wonder what percentage of farmland is owned by blacks and what percentage is owned by whites in Georgia, especially the ones that went to her department.

Then it would be nice to know what percentage of the $1.2 billion went to each under the direction of this bigot in order to get a rough idea of how much she did in fact discriminate.

 

This could be a huge freaking class action lawsuit... could result in reparations.
