Stop playing the race card

The juxtaposition in this video is priceless. Some people live in the past, some people see things for what they are in the present. Here we have a white liberal telling a black man why he should still be angry about racism.

Reporters vs. black conservatives

This is an interesting video well worth watching. Some of the reporters were rather incredulous at the notion that there are blacks who would align themselves with the Tea Party.

Howard Dean can't catch a break

Early this week we saw Chris Wallace give Newt Gingrich and Howard Dean a hard time over the Shirley Sherrod incident. In this latest video, Howard Dean is confronted by Chris Matthews (of all people) over the Sherrod story.

NAACP wrap up

Buy now you've certainly seen or heard about the video in which Georgia's Director of Rural Development Shirley Sherrod (an Obama appointee) admits that she has made decisions about who to help based on race. Well, she has resigned and NAACP President  Benjamin Jealous issued a statement condemning Sherrod's behavior. Apparently, Jealous feels the need to engage in damage control after the NAACP voted to condemn the Tea Party movement as racist.




Now they have something else to explain: Alvin Greene. Greene, who is facing felony obscenity charges, spoke at a local chapter of the NAACP and received an, shall we say, enthusiastic reception.



UPDATE: NAACP retracts condemnation of Shelly Sherrod:

“With regard to the initial media coverage of the resignation of USDA official Shirley Sherrod, we have come to the conclusion we were snookered by Fox News and Tea Party Activist Andrew Breitbart into believing she had harmed white farmers because of racial bias,” said Jealous. “Having reviewed the full tape, spoken to Ms. Sherrod, and most importantly heard the testimony of the white farmers mentioned in this story, we now believe the organization that edited the documents did so with the intention of deceiving millions of Americans.”

Shelly Sherrod was also scheduled to appear on Fox News with Megyn Kelley to explain her side of the story but cancelled at the last minute. According to Megan Kelly, Sherrod also claimed that she was pressured to resign by the White House. You can see the full video of Sherrod's speech here.

Geraldo interviews New Black Panther Chairman

I suspect that the New Black Panther Party is a small, but very vocal group. Nevertheless, they have garnered a few headlines of late. I do know one thing, I don't want these guys standing in front of my polling place.

Al Sharpton makes it up as he goes along

Al Sharpton claimed to see a tape showing Tea Party protesters using racially charged language. Problem, he gets called on it. That usually doesn't happen.
