What’s Going On? If you haven’t heard about this fiasco yet, then let me catch you up. Before vetting anything or performing the most cursory of investigations, the USDA Secretary, Tom Vilsack, recently decided to can federal appointee Shirley Sherrod for making allegedly racist remarks at an NAACP banquet.  The NAACP went in on her, then White House officials went in after them.  Who was behind the video’s outing?  Why, Fox News and conservative bloggers.

Now Hats off to the President, from where I stand he has received a range of grades personally from an A+ to peace relations with the Muslim world and Health Care to a D- with respect to the economy and Pakistan. With that said, I want to add how I am some what disturbed by the blind allegiance people give to anyone. In the African American community...
