I watched the video and thought what most thought, that she was a racist. Until I saw the bit at the end where she said (approx 1:50 in): "that's when it was revealed to me that it's about poor vs. those who have. It's not so much about white . . . it IS about white and black . . . but it's not, you know . . . it opened my eyes. Because I took him to one of his own".
The video is cut off and I don't know what else she said. If this experience did, in fact, open her eyes that it is about poor vs. black and white . . . then why did she resign?
I don't like her "that his own kind would take care of him" statement or attitude. "Own kind"? Imagine had that come from the mouth a white person.
