Social Justice in Crops

How About If the USDA Helps Farmers Spread Dirt Around Instead of Wealth?

Here's what I don't get. The new take is: Sherrod sounded racist at first, but then the story turned into a sweet, totally acceptable riff on how federal agencies shouldn't be obsessing about black-vs.-white, they should be obsessing about poor-vs.-rich, so now she shouldn't have been fired after all.

Wait a minute. When did it become the U.S. Dept. of Social Justice and Wealth Redistribution via Agriculture Policy? How about if she obsesses about agriculture instead?

Update: I keep writing "Sharron" when I mean "Sherrod." Sheesh.
