Sherrod Reader Comment

September 2010

Patricia Kaminski, a Nevada City, California, farmer and microentrepreneur, wrote about the media coverage of the Shirley Sherrod firing. Kaminski wrote she had hoped the media coverage might turn to Sherrod’s actual work – “helping poor rural families no matter what their skin color.”

Sherrod was fired as the Georgia USDA Rural Development Director after her comments on helping white farm families survive the 1980s farm crisis were distorted by a blogger. Sherrod was subsequently offered a new position after her full statement came out and stressed the importance of helping people who need help, regardless of their skin color.

Kaminski’s point is well taken. Political discussion in America could be elevated if the media focused less on the charges and counter charges, and more on the critical issues confronting America that lie beneath the controversies.
