The meeting was a regional one and Ben Jealous was not present.
The real NAACP tape was edited, not by the NAACP, but by Breitbart.
Ms. Sherrod was told by someone that something was coming, but she was not told what it was.
USDA Secretary Vilsac acknowledged an email had been sent which he and the Undersecretary (Ms. Sherrod's manager) should have received, but they did not due to some error in the email addresses.
Breitbart was NOT setup - just the opposite - he set up Ms. Sherrod and smeared her knowing his post & video would go viral.
The back story, Wildwood, is that it all goes to intent - Breitbart's intent when he posted the video and wrote about it, his intent when he partnered with FOX News making this totally incorrect information go viral and his intent when he agreed to be interviewed on CNN and ABC news showing he could not come up with any logical explanation as to why anyone should remotely believe that he could possibly be a credible so called journalist.
The attendees at the regional NAACP nodded their heads and a few people said something like Uh huh, acknowledging that they had experienced similar things that Ms. Sherrod had experienced.
The hate and bigotry that Breitbart and his followers spew forth on this site, the other Breitbart sites, similar right wing nut blogs and on FOX News is despicable. Nothing positive comes from any of this - only more hate and bigotry surfaces. It is time that all of you people grow up and decide you want to have an open, honest and fair discussion about race and ethnic issues in our country. Then, and only then will all people in our country gain understanding into each others' lives and culture and believe that we all will be better for it.
Just stop the hate!

Nothing is going to stop Breitbart from posting his ignorance - not a lawsuit or people like me writing a comment to a post or replies to a post. He just didn't count on media outlets practicing good journalism to quickly show his motivation for the post. By the way, I one of the "white" people.
Thank you Delta for your post!

The absolute best response to your ignorance was Rachel Maddow's broadcast on MSNBC last night. Read the transcript - several times. There is REAL logic in Maddow's response and guess what? The majority of people believe the same way she does!
You have, quite simply, have given a wake up call to the Democratic base, centrist Democrats and Independents to shake off any apathetic attitude they may have acquired during the difficult economic time we are going through as a country and realize it's time to start shaking up the conversation about the real motivation of the Tea Partiers and you right wing nuts! Applause!!!
