No Place Nowadays for Eric Holder’s ‘Nation of Cowards’ Rant
McCain voters were closet racists; people that complimented Obama’s poetic speaking style were subconscious racists (“what did you exect a black man to sound like?”); The Duke lacrosse team were open racists; Don Imus was racist; anyone questioning Illinois senator Burris’ qualifications might be racist. People questioning ebonics were called racists.
Every white knows the safest way to avoid being tagged as a racist is to make a wide –real wide –detour around any racial issue. Coward? Try common sense and a desire not to gratuitously offend anyone that has shown a pronounced sense of touchiness: (I don’t propose a frank discussion of General Sherman in Georgia, or wear fur coats walking by a PETA meeting either).
Any white foolish enough to factually discuss street crime, absent fathers, or kids in school that think studying in uncool might be tarred as racist. 42 years ago Moynihan noted the rise in fatherless black families after the enactment of welfare and was called a racist.
I never discuss racial issues with anyone including black friends. We have enough to discuss as it is. Holder must be clueless about the source of this so-called cowardice.
