If the Administration and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, are too quickly and their reaction to Shirley Sherrod, the Department of Agriculture employee who has resigned (ie, fired) for alleged racist remarks?The video clip posted on the Internet shows Sherrod Monday, speaking at a banquet March NAACP, where she talks about her failure to help white farmer who was on the verge of losing his farm. Her advice: If he was black, she would have moved heaven and earth to help him.
"There is zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA, and I strongly condemn all acts of discrimination against any person," said Minister of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, has accepted the resignation of Sherrod. NAACP, which last week accused of racism Tea Party, ran searing condemnation of Sherrod: "We are shocked by her actions, as we have with abuse of power against farmers of color and women farmers," said NAACP President Benjamin Jealous.
But I'm not sure that this is obviously a quick and sharp peak, so the decision was fair. The incident happened Sherrod says more than 20 years ago, when she worked with the federal government and while she was working for the organization of Georgia, who assisted the farmers.
One of the fragments of the online shows her everything, but they say that it's wrong, and explain that this episode has helped her to understand that race should not play a role in this matter. Sherrod has since told CNN and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, she worked for two years to help the white man to keep his farm and that she and her husband's family eventually became friends. White farmer's wife, who died, apparently confirmed Sherrod version of events.
Is Ag Department fully vet this issue before ordering removal Sherrod in? But the White House or the politicians have a hand in this decision the staff? Sherrod was allowed to fully describe its side of story before an ax? I would like some answers.
