I read a story in the July 22 USA Today about unfairly fired U.S Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod.
This is the woman fired because a right-wing blogger took comments she made about issues of race out of context.
I often do read USA Today. I’ve been gettiing the paper of late delivered at the door of my hotel room in Seattle. I’m in that hotel room right now writing this blog post.
In the USA Today article, Ms. Sherrod says that the real issue is not about race but “about the poor vs. those that have.”
Damn right. I could not agree more. I wish some of our fellow working people could see the facts as clearly as does Ms. Sherrod.
