Sherrod: Breitbart wants to take us back to the days of slavery
posted at 5:17 pm on July 23, 2010 by Allahpundit
Via Dan Riehl, I can see that she’s going to do a bang-up job in that new racial-healing position that Vilsack’s lined up for her. Whether this is her lashing out in anger after having been treated unfairly or whether she really believes something this insane about Breitbart, only she knows, but it’s telling that Cooper doesn’t challenge it. One of the lessons of this week, supposedly, is that we should beware of caricatures in racial matters, not only because people are more complicated in practice but because the fallout from misjudgment is culturally poisonous. See, e.g., the initial clip of Sherrod versus her full NAACP speech. But here she is pushing a caricature of her own — with no evidence to support a charge this incendiary — and Cooper the journalist lets it slide, presumably because he’s squeamish about siding with Breitbart against someone who, to his audience, is a sympathetic victim. What a perfectly depressing note on which to end a depressing week.

They’ve already got one. It’s called severer and chronic feeble mindedness.

She just did with the Squishy One. It will go nowhere.
CTSherman on July 23, 2010 at 5:48 PM
he does ? by unearthing filth that settled in the department of agriculture and elsewhere in government ? how dare he ! doesn’t he realize that an army of sherrods will lose their perpetual jobs and will have to find real, performance based work ?! ? if that is not slavery I don’t know what is !

What really suffer, due to such dereliction of/by the media? Real racism.
Tav, too mild for them.
Schadenfreude on July 23, 2010 at 5:49 PM
It made her out to be a racist and wonder of wonders she turns out to be a racist. Your definition of fake is a little shaky.
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 5:50 PM
I still think it was right to fire her, and I still consider her a racist after watching the entire video.
A race-baiter at the very least.
clement on July 23, 2010 at 5:50 PM
Millions are out of a job, no housing, no food, the gulf, the country is going to hell…and what’s on the news, all over, 24 hours a day?
What a country and what a shame!
History will record that the media are thugs, sucking on Obama’s gummy snake.
Schadenfreude on July 23, 2010 at 5:52 PM
Is that in their mission statement?

Well…
… at least the racists Tea Parties are off the front page.
Oh, wait!
Seven Percent Solution on July 23, 2010 at 5:53 PM
I’m sorry, but she is a moron.
WisCon on July 23, 2010 at 5:53 PM
No, it was fake. The video itself didn’t show racism. She may be one, but that video was not proof of it anymore than Rather’s memogate was proof of Bush’s wrongdoing.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 5:53 PM
After making Breitbart’s case last night, I think Ms. Sherrod may well be “encouraged” by the WH, et.al., to STFU.
On the other hand, she may well refuse to be quieted. In which case, pass the Orville Redenbacher’s.
marybel on July 23, 2010 at 5:54 PM
His diagnosis was not too bad … … for an amateur. The correct professional scientific diagnosis is, of course, syphilis induced dementia.
Sigmund on July 23, 2010 at 5:55 PM
It didn’t make her out to be racist at all. It made her out to be a martyr for that ballyhooed post-racial era we’re supposed to be in. Obviously she’s not the same woman who argued on the video that our shared problems transcend race. That’s a shame, that’s all.
RightOFLeft on July 23, 2010 at 5:55 PM
Maybe I’m stating the obvious, but it feels like this was all done from within the NAACP. They baited, he bit.
Bring on the lawsuit. It might be very revealing.
CTSherman on July 23, 2010 at 5:57 PM
The whole thing was just swell.
First there was a report on the evils of the way Breitbart goes about his work, and CNN used Media Matters as the source. Yes, Media Matters assured the reporter, Brietbart is really unethical and awful.
Then it was on to Mrs. Sherrod’s wild accusations.
MayBee on July 23, 2010 at 5:58 PM
Nothing to be sorry for, WisCon.
John the Libertarian on July 23, 2010 at 5:59 PM
She was speaking in the present tense when she said the white farmer she didn’t help was acting all superior to her.
She smirked when the NAACP crowd cheered her saying how she screwed over the white farmer.
She stated on the full tape that it was STILL about black and white.
She tarred everyone who opposed Obama as racist for doing so.
If these things don’t show her to be a racist then what has she said recently to suggest she is a racist?
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 6:03 PM
She’s Dreyfus!1
Brrrrreeeit-B A R T ! ! !
carbon_footprint on July 23, 2010 at 6:04 PM
We ALL want to go back to the days of slavery. Go on, admit it! Being ideologically conservative as regards your philosophy of government is absolutely equivalent to wanting to go back to the days of slavery. Opposing ANY wealth redistribution by government makes you worse than HITLER! That’s right, there’s no use trying to hide or disguise ourselves any more. We gave it our best shot, but to no avail. They figured us out. People like Shirley Sherrod are more than a match for us, we may as well just give up and surrender.
Wow, I feel much better after venting all that sarcastic absurdity. Have a good weekend all!
listens2glenn on July 23, 2010 at 6:04 PM
Cooper’s audience is so small that probably more people saw that video on Hot Air than on his show.
albill on July 23, 2010 at 6:05 PM
Depressing week Mr Pundit? How ya gonna feel when Obama gets a war started on the Korean peninsula?
Skandia Recluse on July 23, 2010 at 6:06 PM
She hasn’t said anything recently that is substantially different than what she said on the full tape.
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 6:06 PM
BO and Vilsack are the ones who really screwed up here. Vilsack should have known better after the Pigford case, but he’s a tool
No one should be dismissed in the manner Sherrod was. There are procedures, and all of this could have been handled quietly by the administration.
The most disturbing result from this to my mind is the panicky, knee-jerk reaction by the WH that occurs all too often. I have no confidence in their ability to handle any situation.
Sherrod is a product of the Dem party, the NAACP, white liberal guilt and personal greed. She benefited in the past from being a professional victim, and she thinks it will work this time. The best part for Shirley is that if she’s right, she gets the whole pie this time as well as few minutes of fame.
She’s a race grifter. Will her antics pay off this time around? I don’t know. A couple of decades ago whites fell all over themselves to make amends, and conservatives were as pathetic and patronizing as white liberals. They treated African Americans like pets they abused in a fit of anger even though most never engaged in racist activities. They stripped black Americans of their dignity once again, but the Dems were the worst. They turned their pets into perpetual voters for a stinking welfare check.
I don’t know if Shirley’s ploy will be a winning one. She’s behaving in a rather Pavlovian manner. I’m not so sure the public will bite, but then again, it’s Zippy’s decision in the end. Sherrod is artless and obvious as is the Precident. It will be interesting to see how he responds to being beotch slapped. If he caves, as he surely will, I guess I’ll build a bunker because A’Jad and the rest of the world will have their opinion of President Panty Waist confirmed.
Cody1991 on July 23, 2010 at 6:07 PM
Look no further than the title of this thread.
But this time when we go back to the “days of slavery,” it’s going to cost us reparations. Big time.

Bashing Breitbart: CNN’s Anderson Cooper Admonishes Conservative ‘Weasel’ and ‘Bully’By Alex Fitzsimmons (Bio | Archive)
Thu, 07/22/2010 – 15:16 ET
An indignant Anderson Cooper railed against Andrew Breitbart with an uncharacteristic angry commentary at the top of his eponymous CNN program yesterday, calling the conservative activist a “bully,” likening him to a “weasel,” and accusing him of posting a video which was “clearly edited to deceive and slander [Shirley] Sherrod.”

OxyCon on July 23, 2010 at 6:08 PM
You mean like this?
You know, I haven’t seen such a mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn’t it surface? Now, we endured eight years of the Bush’s and we didn’t do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President.
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 6:12 PM
This is racist? That a white farmer was acting superior to her, a farmer she later befriended and helped save his farm?
She didn’t screw over the white farmer. She did help him. But she could have done more. That’s her big crime. That she didn’t give 100%.
How many workers do? Considering many employers have not had to hire anyone back, instead getting more out of the workers they still have, it’s obvious plenty don’t.
Yes, she admitted that her reasons were because the man is white, but at that point, your argument against her is the same as the one in favor of hate crime laws.
At a NAACP event. I’m sure that one’s a real shocker. Of course it’s possible that what she meant was that racism still exists, or that racial inequality still exists. The entire context of her 45 minute speech certainly would suggest that.
And that proves racism how exactly? Plenty of white people have done the same.
I’m not arguing that she is one, so I don’t see why the onus is on me to explain that. She might be one, but she hasn’t actually said anything racist yet. She’s doing exactly what she’s mad at Breitbart for doing, and for that, she’s beyond a hypocrite, but I have no proof she’s a racist.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:13 PM
She may no longer be a flaming racist…now she’s just a flaming IDIOT.
FOAD, Ms. Sharrod…soon, ok?
Justrand on July 23, 2010 at 6:13 PM
nice response from jonah on the corner
cmsinaz on July 23, 2010 at 6:13 PM
It was not a fake. It was just taken out of context. Those are her words on that tape and every utterance from her wipe open trap is proving those feelings are very close to her racist heart.
HornetSting on July 23, 2010 at 6:14 PM
You know what would be fun ?
Hannity asking Juan Williams ” Juan , do you think Breitbart wants to take us back to the days of slavery ?”
His answer will shed light on what the latest dictat from the WH is for the weekend.
And if Hannity asks that same question to KP ,
her answer will be a supermega soundbite ….
macncheez on July 23, 2010 at 6:15 PM
Now that’s inaccurate. The crowd never cheered during the story. They laughed when she told them she was thinking about how much she was going to help the white farmer, but there wasn’t much noise at all when she said she didn’t do all she could have done.
Don’t exaggerate. This story doesn’t need exaggeration. It doesn’t help one bit.
Dusty on July 23, 2010 at 6:15 PM
The “proof” of racism was fake. The video itself wasn’t.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:16 PM
This woman has seething resentments against white people and is steeped in self-victimization. To think she transcended her racism is absurd.
NNtrancer on July 23, 2010 at 6:16 PM
Methinks, she likes being under the bus.
franksalterego on July 23, 2010 at 6:17 PM
Simply put I suspect that if the person who said these things was white that you wouldn’t have any doubt as to their racism.
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 6:18 PM
Personally, I don’t think it makes her out to entirely be a racist, but all the same I’m not surprised she questions whether or not she belongs in a position for which the chief aim is to see all with equal treatment before the law. It doesn’t sound like building bridges was ever her strong suit.
I was disgusted by her body language in the video, regardless of context: The last thing I expected her to do was to smile, laugh and roll her eyes.
Ryan Anthony on July 23, 2010 at 6:18 PM
I kid you not.
I think CNN has a special tomorrow night about the remarkable Shirley Sherrod. 7 and 10 pm.
MayBee on July 23, 2010 at 6:19 PM
This whole situation is odd. You bring up an interesting point or idea. I wonder what BO said to Sherrod. Obviously he didn’t ask her quietly contemplate her options. She’s out in front leading the charge against Fox, conservatives and Republicans. Hmmmmmm…….
Cody1991 on July 23, 2010 at 6:19 PM
Swiiiinng looowww…
The Ugly American on July 23, 2010 at 6:20 PM
You suspect that because you don’t know me and probably because you didn’t watch the whole video. Feel free to search my name on this site when this story first broke. I was completely against her until I saw the full video.
Now, I still don’t feel sorry for her and think she’s making a mistake in speaking out like this, but I just don’t see proof of racism. And as a conservative, I’m sensitive to the card being pulled out so quickly. You should be too.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:22 PM
Regardless whether she thinks her speech was redemptive, the tone of her words when referring to caucasians as “their kind” and her concession toward having to help “whites” strikes me as highly racist. Not the type of person that should be representing all Americans at the USDA….
IntheNet on July 23, 2010 at 6:22 PM
What PROOF do you need? She stood and told her tail,though twenty four years ago, about discriminating against a white farmer. She stood silent as the audience cheered her discrimination. Her own words now tell you that the racism she held in her heart back then is still with her today.
Think of it in the reverse~what if she was a WHITE woman?
HornetSting on July 23, 2010 at 6:26 PM
Tale…it’s been a long day.
HornetSting on July 23, 2010 at 6:26 PM
The other night, Dick Morris opined that the Obama administration will come to regret Sherrod. They are stuck with her and any crazy assertion she makes like the above.
casel21 on July 23, 2010 at 6:27 PM
john king must kicking some chairs over…his days must be numbered….
cmsinaz on July 23, 2010 at 6:27 PM
No proof will ever be enough, because she is immunized from that sort of criticism by her skin color.
All she has to do is deny she is a racist, and can spout whatever vulgarities she wants all day long.
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 6:30 PM
The lady is a racist . Only a dingbat could not see it. Hi dingbat.
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:30 PM
And for the record, a good friend of mine had a similar experience as this woman. Like Sherrod, she was a victim. Though instead of her father being attacked and not punished, she was. She was raped by black men who were not punished.
For some time after, she was undeniably racist and unapologetically so. It took her time to heal, and she’s since renounced those ways.
If she had told her story to a group of white people, it could easily have been taken out of context the way this one was, and I would most certainly defend her.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:30 PM
Weird how that is never answered by the left and their enablers like esthier.
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:31 PM
I thought I already told you where you could go.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:31 PM
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:30 PM
Esthier, if you get a chance, click on my name and read my last three posts. I researched her and her husband. They were members of the SNCC and did not leave until several months after Stokely Carmichael took over.
kingsjester on July 23, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Hornet, you know me, so please don’t act like the others here who don’t.
I’ve answered your questions in other posts. If it was a white woman, I doubt she’d be given the benefit of doubt from others, but she’d still get it from me if the context cleared her like it did Sherrod.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Um, I disagree, and I’m not sure I can articulate it appropriately, but I’ll try.
I think a lot of folks who piled onto Breitbart when the left started to hit back and say “He took her words out of context,” have massive amounts o’ egg on they collective faces…and they know it with every syllable that comes out of Our Girl Shirl’s mouth.
If just one of them starts thinking, “Um, gee, maybe there is something fishy here (mixing metaphors, sorry), then that is one more person that is seeing the inequity in the whole race-baiting laser tag thyngy.
I believe it will become increasingly clear–as the left whines, moans and rends their clothing over the fact that AB practiced “Gotcha journalism,”–that he was not targeting Ms. Sherrod personally. He was simply illustrating the inherent racism that exists against whites among some in the African American community…not all.
It simply behooves the NAACP to encourage the whole victomology (is that a word? Im refudiated on it.)meme. The message from the NAAPC and the left is: “No, we don’t want individuals to have power, do we? ”
Perhaps this is going to seem a non-sequitor, but does anyone find it odd that that old chant, “We shall overcome” seems to be replaced by a rant, “We want to be elevated?” Guess that makes me racist.
Individual responsibility for one’s destiny: that is the ideal that truly frees people.
Ole’ Shirls obviously expresses her feeling that po’ folk can’t provide their own leg up, but need to be dependant on the gub’ment.
Chewy the Lab on July 23, 2010 at 6:35 PM
I don’t believe estheier is a lefty enabler, she’s just thoughtful and wants everyone to like her. Kind of like Newt.
HornetSting on July 23, 2010 at 6:35 PM
Hmmm my family has been victimized by people of color mostly and some of no color(lol) and I don’t think of them by race but rather by their evil , selfishness, and nastiness. When someone does me wrong I know that is just one person -not their entire race. It does not take a rocket scientist.
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:36 PM
You mean not everyone but those on the left.
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:37 PM
Esthier, she’s not a victim, though she plays one on tv. She’s a useful idiot and she’s opening up that great race divide with every interview.
HornetSting on July 23, 2010 at 6:37 PM
I appreciate the offer, but I actually don’t have time right now.
I’ll check into it though. As I’ve said above though, I don’t know that she isn’t a racist. She very well could be. I only know that the video doesn’t prove that she is.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:37 PM
WGAF idiot?
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:38 PM
Of course she isn’t. I’ve said before that I have no sympathy for her. She lost her job for one day, all for being treated the way a conservative would be. She’s getting it back because she isn’t one though. And now she’s famous. If only all conservatives unfairly slandered got this treatment.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:39 PM
Okay why aren’t my replies showing up in this thread now?
quikstrike98 on July 23, 2010 at 6:39 PM
I’m not wasting my time with you, which is rare for me, but you proved yourself too stupid and vile for me last time. Congrats.

Stupid? Coming from you that is RICH.
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:40 PM
Sad to say I’m not surprised. The “victim-ologist” mentality has free rein here.
tgharris on July 23, 2010 at 6:41 PM
Yeh you told me that LAST time. Too much. You and Crr should get a room
CWforFreedom on July 23, 2010 at 6:41 PM
Well, you have a point that some bloggers will learn from this, but not as many as we might hope.
That said, the GOP elites and the so-called conservative media will still shun anyone who said something like… well like the things said by just about any democrat you care to name.
We have seen other instances of this nonsense and they never seem to learn. The Tawana Brawley incident springs to mind. A large number of conservatives are emotionally invested in the Neverending Guilt Trip.
Time will tell.
sharrukin on July 23, 2010 at 6:44 PM
Ed Morrisey and Rich Lowry, call your office.
echosyst on July 23, 2010 at 6:44 PM
She called the people against healthcare racists motivated by anger against the first black president.
She’s being consistent — a racialist demagogue.
Breitbart needed to do his due diligence on the video, failed, and lost some credibility. But his original characterization of the NAACP today isn’t wrong.
tigerinexile on July 23, 2010 at 6:45 PM
AP, that was a great post. I respect your cat(s), even!
chaswv on July 23, 2010 at 6:46 PM
Because she isn’t racist? Please tell me what she would have to say to BE racist. It sounded pretty racist to me, and of course, speaking in front of a racist organization like the NAACP, where the members CHEERED what they are supposed to be fighting against.
HornetSting on July 23, 2010 at 6:46 PM
You just really want the attention? Seriously, I’m not playing. I usually do, even with the dumbest of the dumb, but you finally reached the limit of what I’ll take. Again, CONGRATS! But really, you should move on.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:47 PM
1) Whatever else comes of this, Sherrod has used up all the sympathy I did, in fact, have for her at the end of the first day. If she had played the reconciliation card, she could be a national hero right now, despite her bigotry and really poor grasp of economics. But by being “just another cog in the conflict machine,” she’s no different from Sharpton or Rangel now.
2) Nice to see the Circular Firing Squad is still not out of ammo.
Merovign on July 23, 2010 at 6:49 PM
I’m so entirely sick of statements like this from people on the Left. It’s so incendiary and despicable and ridiculous.
These people (and I mean liberals, not black people) are poisoning our society.
CP on July 23, 2010 at 6:51 PM
Hornet, the full context has her admitting she was wrong when she was admittedly racist to the guy. They weren’t cheering for her racism. They did though agree with her when she admonished herself in her speech.
Out of context, everything she said is completely racist. In that situation, even in context, she was racist. But she corrected herself within months and told that lesson to a group who really needed to hear it.
You believe the NAACP is racist? I probably agree. And that’s why this story was so important for them to hear, to hear that racism isn’t acceptable from anyone for any reason and that even in an organization like the NAACP, it would be helpful to include people of all colors.
I’d stay and talk more, but I can’t. I hope you understand me better now, but if you don’t, please talk to me. You know where to find me.
Esthier on July 23, 2010 at 6:51 PM
Oh, and 3) it’s nice to see JournoList 2.0 has peeps at CNN, they’re really on the narrative ball for the left here.
That, like #2, was sarcasm (for the humor-impaired).
Merovign on July 23, 2010 at 6:51 PM
I’m so glad everyone is terribly concerned about another racist democrat.
The freedom hating democrats in Washington DC just passed a financial reform bill that will dramatically affect every single one of our lives in a negative way.
But some are content to bicker about a democrat government worker.
What an abject failure of trying to control the narrative.
Inanemergencydial on July 23, 2010 at 6:56 PM
She’s sure living up to that image of a “redeemed” ex-racist isn’t she?
Breitbart was right and every limp-wristed mealy-mouthed righty who backed away him owes him an apology.
We have to stop running from truth as soon as the Liberal Hit Squad starts operating.
The tape DID show the woman as a racist because it showed her:
- twice accusing the white farmer of being a racist (thought he was superior to me)
- referring to the white lawyer as one of their “kind”
- never apologizing or admitting she’s wrong for those characterizations
- labeling the GOP, the Tea Party and Fox News as racists
She has shown no inclination to forgive and move on – instead she’s looking to better herself at the expense of people she disagrees with AND by throwing gasoline on this little firestorm of racial politics.
Breitbart was right.
Religious_Zealot on July 23, 2010 at 6:56 PM
I’d like to take us back to the days when she was still fired.
Kensington on July 23, 2010 at 6:58 PM
Yup. I’d just love for her to really explain what she means by
clement on July 23, 2010 at 7:01 PM
Actually from the transcript…
The ONLY reason she helped him AT ALL was, she thought he was an undercover operative from USDA.
She was corrupt and engaged in CYA.
Jeff2161 on July 23, 2010 at 7:12 PM
She only felt guilt when she realized he was an honest to goodness farmer fallen on hard times…Why would she worry about an undercover person from the USDA ? Maybe, she had complaints against her already.
Jeff2161 on July 23, 2010 at 7:15 PM
Pure pawn like Anita Hill or not, she received 300K from the Fed Courts using victim-hood. I wish I was born a southern female black farmer. There’s no limit to what I could have accomplished.
pc on July 23, 2010 at 7:18 PM
Furthermore, as I commented elsewhere on day 1, this discussion isn’t happening unless a) the NAACP puts out a statement calling elements of the tea party racist or b) she doesn’t have a pointless job in a pointless department to use as a platform for espousing her political beliefs.
Apparently she handed out loans. I thought banks took care of this. So sick of the federal government. So very, very sick of it.
pc on July 23, 2010 at 7:21 PM
She also said Breitbart’s audience was “racist conservatives”. That’s a pretty broad statement, and I’m sick of it.
silvernana on July 23, 2010 at 7:22 PM
Oh and the best part of this and the part that proves the fix is in, is the fact she got a job, a great job in a department of the federal government she successfully sued. Yeah, sure, that happens every day in the private sector. I remember my granddad telling me how he was made manager at the Piggly Wiggly after suing the pants of the store for leaving too much wax on the floor causing him to slip and fall.
pc on July 23, 2010 at 7:24 PM
If there was any doubt that the woman was a racist, she has erased it with how she has responded to all of this.
Instead of providing real evidence of a “redeemed” ex-racist…
…she is show real evidence that she sees the world through racist glasses – everything is black and white.
Religious_Zealot on July 23, 2010 at 7:25 PM
And to further demonstrate how the only truly free Americans are the special class of American, Sherrod get’s to speak publicly counseling her audience on the virtues of employment with the federal government as a minority – freedom from thw worry of making a profit, threat of firing or being laid off, freedom to speak freely, freedom to live a life of security with the promise of fully insured health for life and an unrealistically rich lifetime pension.
The ruling class has a good thing going.

I imagine that Barry is sitting somewhere in the White House saying to himself “Is there no one who works for me who can shut this woman up?”

Some pretty damming words by the little lady. It’s the same if you bother to listen to the entire recording. That being said as usual it’s being ignored by the MSM. They are still running with poor little innocent Shirley evil Breitbart, “doctored” tape meme.

I’ve asked this here before and I’ll ask again: in whose eyes that matter did Breitbart lose credibility with?
You started a fun game I’d like to continue! Anyone who believes Breitbart has lost some credibility because of his participation in this story has lost some credibility. Fair enough, right? :)

This is growing tiresome. Racist, not racist, and now back to racist. She just lost all of the sympathy she was getting. She just couldn’t keep her true colors hidden.

It appears her speech was not taken out of context after all and that she still holds racist views and values.

Barry is the son of a natural born African man, a man who wouldn’t spare a minute of his time associating with American pickers. Obama is the descendant the African continent’s ruling class, the traders and expungers of the weak, the ones who rounded up the weak and sent them packing onto slave ships. Nobody is clean in the history of slavery. No people, no race.
