If Shirley Sherrod was white would there be any vindication?

If Shirley was white would she be lynched in the press even before being fired? Would she then have no chance of being rehired even after vindication?

Update:

No, justagradma, the effort wasn't about "reverse" racism. there is no "reverse" racism, just racism.

My point is the splash would been much bigger and there would be no vindication. You know that's how it would be. We've seen it countless times. No excuses were accepted no vindication and reinstating would occur.

Racism from black people, unless really blatant, are typically ignored. When really blatant even then they are often seen as "justified."

Don't pretend this isn't the case. All but irrational bigots, or their indoctrinated see it.

    Political correctness will be the death of us all. Already we can't speak Truth, soon we won't have the words to even think it. There's a definite double standard. Perpetuated by New York Liberals who think the universe ends at the Hudson River. When these idiots finally destroy civilization I'm betting on the people of Kentucky to survive and for wildlife to retake the Northeast.

    A perfect example of what would have happened can be seen with the case of the white cop and Obama's black professor friend. Obama held a beer summit but he never did come out and say that he was wrong and the cop was right. He made it seem like the cop needed to understand more and that the cop and professor should discuss it.

    Since the entire point of the effort was to prove in some way that there is reverse racism and that the NAACP approves of it, I can't even imagine how it could have happened.

    No one would have thought it amazing that someone white would feel prejudiced, and talk about it.

    And truly racist organizations don't have dinners, and speeches, they know that secrecy works best for them.

    You needed to have a minority to even make the attempted comparison that you've made, you yourself are trying to prove reverse discrimination, and the circumstances of this are just impossible to translate.

    HA HA HA.. If she were white and the roles were completely reversed. She would be fired and never heard from again. Period.. and you can be sure Obama would not be sucking up to her.

    No, one standard for the whiny blacks.. another for whites.. all the way!
