Matt Lewis has a great (and short) interview with Andrew Breitbart (both of whom I’ve shot guns with at Red’s Indoor Range) about the Shirley Sherrod saga.
Q: Fox News has been criticized for airing the video and for pushing this story. Do you believe that Fox jumped the gun by running with this story before seeing the full video and putting her words in context?A: The excerpt that started this, to this day, is newsworthy. It served the purpose of showing there was a double standard between the NAACP accusing the Tea Party. It is the White House — I reiterate — it is the White House and [Agriculture Secretary] Tom Vilsack and the NAACP who did not do their due diligence. [That] or they are worried about the political implications of drawing attention to somebody involved in a very controversial matter…

I thought this was a very interesting comment that was posted on another site about this issue…
The most amusing thing is that most of all black Americans are not even pure bred when you travel down memory lane. At best they are 95-99% black, the rest would be up of white counterparts or perhaps some Hispanic descent, which is also a combination of African and European mixed bloodlines. In tracing you’re genetics you will find Dutch, German, French, Spanish (from Spain), and many others. For me it’s English/Irish and Kenyan descent, I’m a 50 percenter. My ancestors were slaves and slave owners. If it were not for slavery I would not exist, which in itself is a twisted fate, but all Americans share this fate. This is our history. Race is a crutch that will splinter if too much weight is placed upon it. It is inefficient, it lacks true purpose, and it weakens those who harness it as a tool of power. It corrupts their hearts and minds, and turns the masses against them. This is why the future will be filled with those who are a combination of many. They will give no allegiance to those who believe they are entitled. They will become the future of man, and they will populate the Earth. Black people need to pay attention, as they become the minority of minorities. Be careful of the races you attempt to align yourselves with to promote yourselves through the plight of others. Read that again. It is the promotion of race, which is the downfall of race, and the rise of racism. Most Americans do not care what race you think you belong to, until you obsessively infringe on their level of comfort and lifestyle with race as your motivation. Organizations such as the Black Panthers and NAACP are relics of the past. The same Democrats that courted blacks through legislation and civil rights were the same Southern Governors, Mayors, and local authorities that beat, raped, and lynched like wildfire throughout the South, but that is history, and when your abuser tells you that he loves you, you will always go back to him. Isn’t it funny that the two parties we have in this country rip and tear their people apart for their own agendas, which are a common one in the end? You have to think globally to understand that. You have to realize that they will use race, strip away religion, promote the wealthy, control the resources, and fund the addictions to keep the people divided. Divide and conquer, it works with any demographic, but I’m just crazy, and racism is the real problem in the world, and I forgot where I came from, or I’m confused who I am, maybe I can think for myself, or perhaps I am a racist… who hates everyone just the same. It is the ones who preach tolerance that often become the most intolerant.
