THE RACE ISSUE: VOLUME 118, ISSUE 146
WHITE LIES, BLACK CONSEQUENCES
by Malik Isasis
When it comes to discussing anything about racial matters this country becomes completely paralyzed. There is a Pavlovian reaction amongst the white supremacists who truly believe that being called a racist, is actually more worse than actually being one. Fox News for the past several weeks have been race baiting, pulling Obama into the fray of racial politics with trumped up stories on the New Black Panther Party, the building of a Mosque near Ground Zero, Arizona Immigration Law and now, Shirley Sherrod.
Ms Shirley Sherrod, an African American woman, was fired from her federal job at the United States Department of Agriculture after a cleverly edited video tape of a speech she'd given at an NAACP back in March 2008, made her seem as if she was a "racist" as she was telling a parable about her experience, but the way the tape was edited, it made her seem she denied a white farmer help in keeping his farm. The tape was put out by political hitman, Andrew Breitbart, at Big Government.com, a rightwing cesspool of misinformation.
Fox News smelled blood in the water and began promoting "Reverse Racism" on every show, linking Obama to a conspiracy to oppress white people. Fox News understands that Obama cowers from anything having to do with race, and so they get a free hand at discrediting him.
Fox News was so hungry to destroy Obama, and black people, that they didn't bother researching the tape. Here is Fox News, salivating at an opportunity to re-shine the turd that is the Tea Party:
Here is the truth:
Surprisingly, most of corporate media have not been going along with Fox's agenda to defend the Tea Party by any means necessary. Just like the ACORN story Fox manufactured, the Shirley Sherrod story is also fiction, to race bait, poor angry whites.
Obama being the coward he is, still supports his Agriculture Secretary Bill Vilsack's decision to fire her. Obama threw Ms Shirley Sherrod under the bus, where she still lay, unemployed. Rightwing, wins again, and Obama slowly, and painfully revealing that he has no interest in being anything other than weak, and lame in the face of adversity.
