DISGRASIAN OF THE WEAK! The Sherrod Charade
Shirley Sherrod
Back in March, Andrew Breitbart wrote a post called “2010: A Race Odyssey — Disproving a Negative for Cash Prizes or, How the Civil Rights Movement Jumped the Shark” for Big Journalism, one of his five websites, in which he claimed that accusations of racism are merely a “trick” of the Left:

How To Prove You’re Not A Racist
How do you prove definitively that you’re not a racist?
It’s easy!
Just add a black friend!
(Asian and Latino friends will suffice, in a pinch, and gay friends, too, are useful when accused of being a general bigot.)
Cuz that’s what friends are for!
Keep smilin’, keep shinin’, knowing you can always count on me…
