I say Shirley Sherrod is correct; Obama needs to get acquainted with the southern Black experience.

It is about understanding the path to progress that our kith and kin made from slavery to freedom in America and throughout [...]]]></description>

In the wake of MJ&#8217;s death, the question of race and color looms in the background.  Yeah, yeah &#8211; your boy had a red thriller jacket, black pleather pants, glitter socks and penny loafers in the second grade &#8211; I idolized Michael, along with millions of his other fans.
