    According to msnbc she resigned because she wasn’t helping a white man to the best of her ability and preventing him from loosing a farm. This is nonsense, I bet you wont see it the other way around. She was being honest which would be the only good thing in this story because if it was the other way around the truth wouldn’t be told at all for a black person loosing anything.

    First thing first CNN and MSNBC and others are now talking about rush to judgement and out of context. Correct me if I’m wrong didn’t they do this to Rev.Wright,Rev.Jackson,Rev.Sharpton,Farrahkan,Acorn Van Jones and so many other Blacks over the years. The NAACP and Black Journalists for years have allowed the media to distort anything we have said or done. But this really ticks me off how the President and has Administration has tossed Blacks to the side when Fox Klan and the other white owned News Organiztions started to yell about so-called black racism. Remember what Rev.Wright said about Mr.Obama and the people around him,and yet again has let white racism to get him to react. And if people took time to understand how and why she felt that way.Her dad was killed by the Klan and she had issues with whites but realize she could not judge all the same. Mr.Obama and his people and the Dems did this to Acorn and guess what it came from the same source as this story.The Person is Andrew Breitbart who helped lie on Acorn and the media help but once known that he lied the media soon shutup about it. I said to other blacks that Mr.Obama may look like us but thinks and react like them. Is that harsh? Heck No! Look at his track record. He diss Rev.Wright,but picks and defend Bill and Hilary Clinton,Forgive Joe Willson,gets pissed at Eric Holder,Forgive Harry Reid,Diss Black mothers.Honor Robert Byrd in public but diss Michael Jackson calls Kayne West a Jackass. Defend Henry Gates,but let the media right and left go after Desiree Rogers and Van Jones. And for the NAACP they have or always been a Joke. Notice how on CNN Campbell Brown spoke to the gentleman on her show tonight. Rachel Maddow is the only one in the media who have called out this stuff out in the media. Which is sad seeing that she a white women and lets not forget Tim Wise as well. I voted for him and I had issues with him and I caught hell for speaking about them. And now it seems that I was on point about him and those around him. Black Journalist need to do their job better since whites and other will give cover and aid to those who would do our people harm.

    See how wishy-washy you can come off, when trying to protect your position rather than protecting the truth. I wonder if Roland now supports the NAACP recanting of that initial statement and issuing one that opposes it? Following NEGROES is hazardous to your mental and physical health!

    @4:52 after being hit with a purely logical question, listen to this NEGRO stutter as if he is shaking in his boots. NIGGE.RS MAKE ME SICK TO MY FCKN STOMACH, AND UNFORTUNATELY, IT WILL ALWAYS BE THE ROLAND “CHICKEN GEORGE” SMITH’s WHO ARE CALLED UPON TO SPEAK TO THESE ISSUES!!! MIGHT AS WELL GO GET “FIDDLER.”
