Through junior high, girls couldn't wear pants to school, only skirts or dresses.
Oh for the good ol' 60s when a man could beat or force his wife to have sex, and there weren't any laws against it.
The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after FoxNews.com published its initial report on the video, that Sherrod had resigned.
"There is zero tolerance for discrimination at USDA, and I strongly condemn any act of discrimination against any person," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in a written statement. "We have been working hard through the past 18 months to reverse the checkered civil rights history at the department and take the issue of fairness and equality very seriously.
The NAACP released a statement late Monday condemning Sherrod's admission.
"We are appalled by her actions, just as we are with abuses of power against farmers of color and female farmers," the statement said.
"Her actions were shameful," it continued.

I was laughing because you people buy into whatever your party lines say hook, line, and sinker...
This is just a fine example of canned 2-party politics at it's absolute best.
One of the FEW times both sides agree, and they BOTH come out looking like a bunch of retards.
And hilarity ensues.
As to your knee-jerk reaction to Saint's knee jerk reaction to a shitload of misinformation...I would guess that the NAACP wasn't all over this one probably because they had the full content of the speech.
Who was it that released the chopped up video in the first place? A TEA partier wasn't it?
