http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-474260# Your adminstration has already issued its apology and Ms. Sherod accepted. If this happened under President Clinton or Bush, the media outrage would have stopped at the Secretary of Agriculture. There were many racial incidents during their tenure and they spoke about by them by choice, not by force. Please don't turn yourself into a Black mammy figure, always consoling the guilty people you work for. We as adults should be able to handle this with the example that you set in your administration.

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-472546 If America is going to be as good as its promise, a mosque should be built near Ground Zero. Some are even calling this a "monument to terrorism." We cannot act as if it was only White Anglo-Saxon Protestant males who died during 911. There were Muslims, Christians, Jews, blacks, whites, males, females, Latinos, Asians, etc. In earlier times, we couldn't have a Jewish synagogue in some places or a black church in other places. Granted it wasn't Jews who attacked us on 911, but it wasn't all Muslims either.

http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-474021 In an era of non-fact based journalism, we have sold out Ms. Sherrod. Because of our fear of talking about race, we used video editing to kill someone's career, in this economy. The NAACP sold her out so it could look objective, conservatives edited video, and now the White House sold her out because it's afraid to talk about race. This is shameful. Is the NAACP now going to protest for her to get her job back? What happened to hearing both sides? This is the state of america we are in and we should be ashamed.
