The firing and subsequent review of the firing of Shirley Sherrod is illustrative of the state of race relations in America today.
According to the NAACP, "We are in a moment where there is heightened sensitivity and concern, including within the N.A.A.C.P., about discrimination against white people."
At the White House, "Gibbs also sidestepped suggestions that the administration was too quick to abandon African-American subordinates, including former Obama environmental aide Van Jones."
A cynical black (only Tavis Smiley comes to mind) would have postulated that this could be expected with a black president. To a black nationalist it would seem only elementary that there would be some blowback to a black president of the USA.
Is it worth it?
Where will it lead?
