She stated that at first she did not do as much as she possible could have for the white farmer. Is that not racism? If those words were uttered by a white person to a crowd of all white people where the person that he/she failed to give her full attention, they would be also labeled as a racist and rightly so. Now Ms Sherrod intends on suing Brightbart or whatever his name is for bringing the video to the public's attention. Are there not video's of people within the tea party that are shown on tv with people labeled as racists? You cannot have it both ways.
