Shirley Sherrod: White House Ordered Me Fired; Obama Can’t ‘Fully Grasp’ Civil Rights Struggle



(Breitbart.tv) - In an interview with radio host Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Shirley Sherrod said she believed that the order to fire her came from the White House, not from Sec. of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, as Vilsack has claimed.

She also revealed that in her private discussion with President Obama following her firing, the President advised Ms. Sherrod to read his book to prove that he understood the civil rights struggle in America. Ms. Sherrod has still not read the President's book.
