That's a really cool story Jerry, thanks. I can't imagine that being a black farm coop in Georgia in the the 60s through 80s was an easy thing to do. I don't imagine that it is all peaches and cream now either. Sounds like Sherrod helped found an important group and has pushed hard for self sufficiency for a long time. > And, > > Ex-Ag Official Says White House > Forced<http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/07/20/ex-ag-official-says-video-showing-white-farmer-story-excludes-key-context/>Her > Out Without Hearing 'Truth' About Video That sounds about right. Political expediency over courage. I wish I was more surprised at that sort of behavior but I'm not. The administration is overly sensitive to charges of black on white racism, so they'd rather look tough than do the right thing. Pretty pathetic. Looks like Breitbart got just what he wanted though. He may be a scum bag but he does a good job of distracting people and redirecting the conversation.
