I watched most of the video and I don't think Ms. Sherrod said anything bad. If you want to nit-pick, you could say that she had some racist attitudes 24 years ago and she was an adult at tht time. She was 38 years old at the time.
But that was 24 years ago and from listening to her speech it sounds like she has totally changed. She seems like a decent woman. I don't think she deserved to be fired.
This is one of the few cases where you can legitimately say that a person's words were taken out of context.
I admit that my initial take on this woman and this story was totally wrong. I'm not too proud to admit it when I'm wrong.
