The Sherrod incident is troublesome on many fronts.
recently, helen thomas lost her job when the same thing
happened to her. like sherrod, her comments were distorted
and she was vilified by sound bites and hair-trigger
reactions. (for starters, thomas was asked about 'israel',
but almost every headline had her talking about 'jews'. big
distinction! but a viral holocaust card will trump
everything, no question.)
if sherrod is given different treatment than thomas as a
result of media-created firestorms and politically-fueled
agendas, we are, unfortunately, back to square one: racism.
(not disagreeing with any of the 'wows' or 'geez' here, just
adding another note, one year after obama's 'teachable
moment' beer summit that was supposed to put dialog before
reaction.)
