3. I was hoping we'd hear from the white farmer in this case, glad to see the truth come out

The second I heard this story I thought "either this is just her making up a story for a speech for some reason, or there's more to it we need to know from the white farmer".

It's even crazier that this is something from 24 years ago that pops up now, not something from her current job, shows how desperate the neocons are. I bet Sherrod is probably on the right track when she said that this was retaliation against the NAACP for accusing the Tea Party of racism.
