The argument has been not her story, but the laughter in the crowd about her "denying whitey" any help, even before she got to the conclusion on how she realize she was short sighted on the topic. If it was a white group who a white women was telling the story too, and they laughed at the same spot, there would certainly be a double standard in how it was reported.

Shaky at best, Breitbart is spinning to defend himself. IMO she delivered the line as a setup - and a few chuckles hardly constitutes laughter.

That somehow the "argument" was about audience reaction. You must be feeling the tingling in the back of your neck about now.

You didn't watch the video or read the transcripts, did you? If you had, you would know that the sentence just before where the video Breitbart edited starts is this:
When I made that commitment, I was making that commitment to black people — and to black people only. But, you know God will show you things and He’ll put things in your path so that — that you realize that the struggle is really about poor people, you know.
This is also after she laid the groundwork by describing her life growing up in the segregated South, and the fact that she had a chip on her shoulder because her father was killed by a white man.
Now look at who she's talking to. It's a group of predominantly black people about her age from Georgia. Of course they laughed. The situation is ironic, and I bet a lot of people in that room may have felt the same way she did at some point in their lives. That doesn't mean that they're racist. She set up the story by letting them know that the opinions she held at the beginning of the story were not the ones she advocates or holds today.
Breitbart is twisting and trying to latch onto anything he can to try to save face, but it's all there in (pardon the expression) black and white.

P.S. I love how the only people I ever hear using the term "whitey" are white people accusing black people of being racist or actors in blacksploitation films.

See Forti, when Tojo and I are agreeing on something it means you need to re-evaluate the situation.
However I would like to add that if Obama keeps shooting himself in the foot at the current rate he will go down in history as 'the toe-less president'. (que commentary from our pretty little 'Toe)
