two wroungs...

There are two types of racist's in this country people that hate other people bassed on the color of there skin and people usually past victims of racism that can't get beyond race.
The Administration faced both of those cases in recent weeks and reacted to them badly.
In Nov. 2008 the New black Panthers sought to intimidate pole workers that might actully cheack if felons were eligible, wearing there garb and standing outside the polls one brandishing a club. There are only two reasons for this either intimidate white voters or as I mentioned before distract pole workers from doing there job. This is obviously a threat to democracy no one has the right to intimidate anyone into not voting even poll workers. The Attorney General showing the same cowardice on race that he lectures the American people on choose not to prosecute.
Conservatives and most Americans I believed were shocked that this example of reverse fascism was allowed to stand in this country. Consequently we have the case of Shelly Sherod who at a NAACP meeting expressed an unwillingness to help a white farmer who was talking douwn to her. The White House most likely said o.k here's an example of how this Adminastration can show that were not reverse racists. One problem Mrs. Sharrod recounted how her actions were wrong and she no longer felt that way she also did help the white farmer who now regards her as a friend. While liberals in the media are currently going crazy about how Conservatives hipped the story.(they have a point we Conservatives must do better at not jumping to conclusions on stories on race) they ignore that the justice Department lack of response to the New Black Story most likely caused the overreaction to Mrs, Sharrod comments which when taken in context are actually touching.
