It's disingenuous to title the thread "Racism from the Obama Administration". If someone on a church board made such an inflammatory statement, you cannot say the the entire church board or the Pastor is racist. The individual that made the statement is. I think the more appropriate title for this thread is 'Racism from Shirley Sherrod'. I have not watched the link, but, I will do so momentarily.

Let me ask you a question or two...
Who gave her the job?
Who has said nothing and has not demanded her resignation?
She is a member of the Obama administration, and by doing nothing about it he is showing that it is okay for people in his administration to act this way.
Nothing disingenuous at all.
If the pastor didn't remove that person from the board, I would say he is a racist.
