Farmer's wife says fired USDA official helped save their land

[Peikko 1,575]

There are two categories that fall for this type of divisive nonsense, the affable people who really want the US to be the way they think it is, a nice level playing field with everyone able to jump to the top if they just put their noses to the grind stone, and those who really do feel that blacks are simply uppity n*ggers.

OK I'll post it here, you know, the un-Snickered part that got Faux Newsed:

When I made that commitment, I wasn't making that commitment to black people -- and to black people only. But, you know God will show you things and He'll put things in your path so that -- that you realize that the struggle is really about poor people, you know.

The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he -- he took a long time talking, but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing. But he had come to me for help. What he didn't know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me, was I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him.

I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So, I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough so that when he -- I -- I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the -- or the Georgia Department of Agriculture. And he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him.

So I took him to a white lawyer that we had -- that had...attended some of the training that we had provided, 'cause Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farmer. So I figured if I take him to one of them that his own kind would take care of him.

ZOMG! Lets read that again!

or the fact that she still believes its about black and white but more about rich and poor.

That's to do with the empirical numbers Simpson, what's so hard?

so she made a mistake and then did her best to fix it but now she is supposed to be forever tarred and feathered for that mistake??

after he called her back - she did not call him back to see how things were going.

a saying we have in the army "an action passed is an action completed."

Your color shouldnt be a factor in determining how much help you get, plain and simple.

Charles is always played by VW, who clearly has a very nasty anti black agenda, brought on (I am going to go out on a limb and guess here) by the fact that black muslims do not get victimized in the US whereas muslims who look like arabs do, because of the stereotype that arab muslims are terrorists. If you notice, she always tries to 'enlighten' the VJ folks to how many black muslims there are as a % of the muslim population total - and her hatred of Obama is palpable, which can't simply be laid at the door of his librulism (as even by US standards he isn't which an educated person would know )

yeah, i'm just a sock puppet for vw

I see the BJ post needs to be bumped again.

Sometimes, you are. You remind me of Bush, an affable guy but not that smart and you get played, as did he.

No, it shouldn't. Guess what? Sherrod found that out all by herself without your help or mine.

so agreeing with someone on some issues makes one played. amusing.

That was the point of the woman's story.

She thought one way, then she had a real-world experience that forced her to challenge her preconceptions.

mel gibson is in the news again?

No Charles, agreeing with someone without knowing what you are actually agreeing to, that's being played. I am amused, always

No really? Could this be true? Could this have been the whole point of the story all along? Say this isn't so!

In this thread you were, most assuredly, played.

I'm wondering how stubbornly people will continue to defend their position, even after reading the transcript.

I'm willing to bet that the thread probably still has a few pages of life left in it.

if you and your sidekick like to think that, feel free.

Thank you, I will.
