Holder Wants Race Preferences and Benefits . . . Forever
Some are surprised by Holder’s brazenness. I am not. As I like to say, I wrote a bestseller about Holder’s racialist DOJ. Nothing surprises me anymore. The only surprise is the dumbfounded, stuck, GOP response — which would be none.
If the GOP nominee does not make this a presidential campaign issue because he is afraid to talk about such unpleasantries, then shame on him. In tough economic times, the last thing middle America wants to hear is the attorney general grousing about people of color getting benefits because of their color.
The Obama administration obviously exercises no restraint on racial issues, or perhaps has the courage of their convictions. What price is paid for this racial radicalism? None.
Instead, we have a whole assortment of Republicans, inside the government (oh and I could name so many names), afraid to pound Obama for this. Let’s hope they come out of their shells and fight.
Obama has paid no price for this rotted, unfair, and un-American employment philosophy, and continued GOP silence will preserve this peace.
I am a little surprised at Holder’s brazenness as well, however it is reflected throughout the black media almost to a man. The Left and the politically correct not only do not challenge such suppositions but actively support it. This has given the black elite a feeling of invulnerability even with the most obvious acts of racial advocacy but it may be that fate is giving such people enough rope to hang themselves.
The problem is that those opposed to men whose philosophy echoes that of the KKK rather than a group seeking justice are not making smart enough arguments to call out the rather silly thoughts that emanate from a man like Holder.
You know we have a problem in America when a network like MSNBC cozens utter racists like Al Sharpton, Melissa Harris-Perry and Michael Eric Dyson as if they are mainstream. Also, the Southern Poverty Law Center seems intent on fighting, not racism, but only white racism and has gone so far off kilter as to portray Horowitz’s historical context regarding actual players in the old African slave trade as itself being a form of hate speech.
We have our work cut out for us but it is plain to see that the black elite, by taking things way too far, is not making friends but enemies. It might be time to start going after the advertisers on MSNBC and providing some context along with the reality of business and saying enough with this saying all white people are endemic racists throughout all of recorded history and the entire future. We can’t allow racism to pay. It’s really sad to see what the Dem Party has become which is, simply put, a party of almost complete idiots with 3rd rate thinkers with 3rd rate arguments.
Have we all forgotten how to spell ‘reparations?’
As to the universities, I’ll believe that affirmative action is a general principle when they institute programs to redress the underrepresentation of men in departments like nursing and social work. Until that happens, I’ll continue to believe that “affirmative action” is a cover for a racial spoils system.
There’s a movement underway akin to the “Affirmative Action (AA) bake sales” of years past: petitioning around campuses for AA in college sports teams…more whites, handicapped…heh. *Love* it!
I got to take a tour of the Denver Broncos’ visiting locker room. In order to comply with the ADA, professional football teams have to have a locker that is wheelchair accessible. Yes, the ADA assumes a professional football player who is in a wheelchair.
The Americans with Disabilities Act is more F*CKED UP than that…they carry it down the line, and justify it with some towel carrier or sports reporter who *might* be disabled, and therefore “all” areas must be “accessible”…KILL THE A.D.A.!!!
No fan of intrusive government intervention or the ADA, but it seems that having a wheelchair-bound player is not equal to having the locker room accessible to one in a wheelchair. Maybe you have an injured player who wants to enter. Maybe you have a disabled contractor doing wiring. Maybe…
“affirmative action” is a cover for a racial spoils system.
BINGO!! Let the scales fall from thine eyes.
well said
Social justice is an entitlement for life
There’s no difference between Eric Holder and Van Jones – NONE
Should we start calling him “Reverend Holder?” Although “Steadman” is more accurate, with Obama as his loving Oprah.
I attained a Master’s Degree (Nurse Practitioner) from a Louisiana University and witnessed firsthand the destructive results of “Affirmative Action”. The government initiative Healthy People 2020 includes a goal if increasing diversity in health care providers. This goal is to be met with the ends justifying the means. Minorities are admitted access to the program with a lower collegiate GPA and lower test scores. We were all BSN, RN qualified to enter the program. Of the 4 African Americans who started in our class 2 failed and two graduated. Only one of those 2 who graduated should have been allowed to. The other “student” never arrived to class with her work done and copied from others. This was brought to the attention of ALL of the professors via end of semester evaluation and was never addressed. This student was also reported to the faculty by 2 of her clinical preceptors for not completing the REQUIRED number of clinical hours to be a candidate for graduation. When questioned she turned in clinic hour documentation with FORGED MD SIGNATURES on the logs. At this point she should have been REPORTED to the Louisiana State Board of Nursing to be dealt with accordingly (RN license suspension at least). When asked to appear before the faculty and Dean of Nursing this individual brought a lawyer from the NAACP and declared that “she had a lot of stress and pressure” which led her to do this. She was disciplined but not EXPELLED. It is clearly stated that cheating or document fraud is grounds for EXPULSION at his University. In the end this individual was allowed to graduate and is treating children and adults as a Family Nurse Practitioner. The rest of us were AFRAID to report this in fear of losing our own licenses. I would NEVER allow this individual to treat any of my family members. If she altered documentation as a student AND GOT AWAY WITH IT I believe she would alter medical records in the future. Affirmative Actions DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
By the Way~~the rest of us had stress in our lives during school as well and none of us CHEATED.
I believe every bit of this and it is very sad. Just as we teach our children, cheating hurts everyone. It hurts the people who are around them because they are cheated of being to show a difference in their abilities vs. someone else’s; it hurts the people that are treated by the cheater; and it hurts the cheater because there is probably not a single person that knows about what this lady did that respects her or will ever trust her again, for anything. I wouldn’t.
Years ago a black lady that worked with my husband asked for a reference for a physician. She told him that she only wanted to see a white doctor. She offered up something like, “I want a white doctor because black doctors are not as good.” While that is a generalization, all of the black doctors I know now are excellent, she was relaying how she felt and indicated to my husband that this was common practice in the black community – to only go to white doctors! What a shame.
Just a year ago I was a student at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. They were having trouble keeping their nursing program acceptable to the State of Wisconsin because so many of their nursing students were flunking their nursing boards. A friend told me his sister transferred from that university to the local technical college to do her practicums, took the tests there, and then transferred back to the university to get her RN. The explanation was that the university was accepting too many academically unqualified students for diversity reasons. Scary.
Another web site showed the acceptance rates by racial group for GPA and MCAT scores. The Asians were shorted, and the Blacks were accepted at an incredibly high rate compared to Hispanics, who were still ahead of Whites, who were ahead of Asians. Sad.
And with immigration coming almost exclusively from the Third World, you can in reality extend a de facto affirmative action to the entire country and with similar devastating results. If everyone was so equal to us, they wouldn’t be coming here in the first place in such numbers. Political correctness acts as the shock troops and the rest is left to sheer numbers to overwhelm the country.
Newt Gingrich is the ONLY candidate running who has the strength and intelligence to clearly point out this racism in the campaign. It’s now all a matter of timing….
Right on!
Holder needs to take his mentally retarded ass to live in Detroit where it’s 80% blacks run by blacks!
Oh yippee kay yay, Eric! YOUR people runnin’ thangs have been doin’ gggggggreat!
Git them thar dangeruss gas stations armed with un-armed security guards! That should solve things!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
he “can’t actually imagine a time in which the need for more diversity would ever cease.”
And there it is, laid bare for all to see. The true Racists expose themselves. Whites are, always have been, always will be, the enemy. Every gain they make is off some poor ethnic’s back; every loss they suffer is a “win” for the oppressed. It won’t stop; it’ll never end.
If the name weren’t already taken, I’d dub it the “Forever War.”
Sounds *A LOT* like Rev Wright’s Black Liberation Theology right there…
When will we start calling it what it is?
Slavery.
When the proceeds of the labor of one particular group is mined by another group, who do no work, supply no capital, take no risk, provide no genius, what can it be called but slavery?
When one is ordered about like a paeon; when merely going about one’s business every day results in becoming a criminal of some sort; when the most important thing one can do to become secure and rich is to be part of the imperial enforcement apparatus, what can it be called but slavery?
Isn’t there one of those amendment thingys that proscribes that? I hope it doesn’t require another John Brown to set this revolt in motion. That never turns out well. For anyone.
Hmmm. Holder did not define exactly what benefits he thinks blacks are entitled to, but at least Bollinger was deft enough not to ask for a definition. I have a pretty good idea what an ideal world would look like to Holder. Imagine the social structure of the Antebellum South with the racial roles reversed.
You can’t reverse rolls with folks who have low I.Q.s.
Have you seen Detroit? That’s the ‘black run America’ in a pot boiler.
They [blacks] revert to their lowest common denominator.
Welcome to the jungle, brutha.
rolls=roles
I’m TWOC (typing without coffee).
TWOC?!?!
Triple Espresso…STAT!!!
Fank you, Ed…
I needed that!
Just put me on the caffeine drip!
I don’t know, Delia. I think Detroit is what happens when Liberals run things for extended periods. I don’t think it has anything to do with skin colour (except that blacks are mostly Liberal Democrats.)
I’m not trying to pick a fight, by the way. : )
Oh really?
The folks they vote for are Black, Low I.Q. dipshits too! They don’t care. They just want ‘they EBT cards’ so they can jungle f*ck like animals and create more babies on the dole.
I’m thinking you need a rather laarge chill pill. And maybe some time in the reeducation camps. You can oppose stupidity without ascribing it to each and every member of the opposing side.
And I’d fire Holder in a Georgia minute.
delia, your words and ideas are ugly.
the problem is not ‘color’ or dna. there are plenty of black people perfectly capable of managing a city.
I agree that it’s the Liberals, Stupid. I work with plenty of Black folks who are just as competent as anybody else. Unfortunately there is a cadre of Poverty Pimps (think Holder, Jesse Jackson, and Rev. Al Charleton) who benefit from the present system.
Spoken like a provocateur with an exceptionally low IQ. Go back to your faculty lounge and try to rethink that.
Wot? Nothing sufficient to say about our feral black youth rampaging and attacking whites?
Oh. I see. You are SUPER PEE CEE man! TA DA! He is fearless! He wears a cape! His naked, shriveled penis is another matter!
/guffaw
Yes, I’d always suspected the driving force behind most Liberals is being issuficiently endowed.
Come to think of it, that’s why many of them (suburban liberals) buy Hummvees and Pickup trucks.
I was wondering just how you were going to respond to that. You did not disappoint. It’d be so nice if people could just point out the nature of their disagreements with a given POV without being jerks about it.
I presume you mean Delia?
I do tend to throw out some sarcastic humor once in a while, myself. Mea Culpa.
“I presume you mean Delia?”
That would be correct (& I did appreciate your rejoinder above).
OK, just checking.
There’s a fine line between snark and nasty. I try to stay on the right side of that.
Oh puhlease!
My response to Insufficiently Genius was just as snarky as his reply to ME.
Ha! And double HA! Evennnnnn.
Hey there, Delia. We got your back……..:-D
Okay, bobbcat. All is forgiven.
*grabs your junk*
TINY!
I KEED. I KEED.
I don’t got your back; you’re as bad as Holder.
“*grabs your junk*”
ROFL. I don’t have that sort of “junk.” “I am woman, hear me roar….”
Affirmative Action has become, for the left, atonement for sins committed long ago and, for the most part, upon people no longer living by people, for the most part, no longer living. And, much like the riots and demands in Afghanistan over the unintentional “disrespect” towards some burned Korans, the debt will never be settled, but will always spark a demand for a higher and higher price.
Affirmative Action has become, for the left, atonement for sins committed long ago
Not really – just an excuse to create an apartheid scheme in the here and now.
Exactly. The left (who are the champions of elitism) certainly does not want to help any group it considers to be on the outside in its ability to compete & take its rightful place at the table in their midst. Oh noooooo.
If affirmative action is atonement for past sins, for what sins are the countries of Northern Europe atoning? Somalis in Norway can only be atonement for being White Norwegians.
I am not surprised by Holder’s comments, only that they go unchallenged. Just as I resisted David Duke’s efforts to bring bigotry back, I’ll resist Holder’s as well.
Later this fall the Supremes will have an opportunity to comment on diversity and education. If they find for the individual, I suspect that many Americans will say “about time”. Support for widely varying test and grade score minimums by skin color is eroding. SAT, LSAT and other prep books are not just sold to Asians. The endless playing of the race card has undermined the efforts of this administration to permanently establish a “more equal” class.
Don’t hold your breath.
Agree, Snake, and I am so sick & tired of being told that I must pay for the “sins” of my father’s committed long ago against Eric Holder’s “people”. My fathers went to war & shed their blood in order to bring freedom to Mr. Holder’s people. I think, by his standard, that means that his people owe me, not the other way around.
That’s right: the NAACP should be building statues of the 2 Minnesota regiments torn to pieces in the Civil War and arranging some reparations for the descendants. No, no, no. It’s only the bad things done by white folks TO black folks, not good stuff FOR black folks. In Holder’s universe, there is no FOR. Once again goose/gander is an insurmountable intellectual Rubik’s Cube for the black Left.
About 12.5% of the electorate is black. Another 12.5% [approximately] is Hispanic. The Democrats own about 1/4 of the white population. That is why the GOP candidates will not discuss this issue in public. Probably a wise move.
The money has gone away and it will not return; When taxpayers are struggling
to pay for the necessities of life, they will not elect, or support, or allow
to remain in office those who attempt to transfer their wealth to others;
Persons of all colors will stand as equals, except for those who turn to
violent protest, and end up disenfranchised.
“people of color getting benefits because of their color.”
Sure Eric, keep them on that plantation. Because heaven “knows,” Eric, they can’t stand on their own two feet in this world and make it on their own. Nope they need the Federal government to house them, to feed them, and to get them jobs, just like on the Plantation. The only difference is that you’re not buying and selling them. Oh, wait a minute, you are. You buy and sell their votes through organizations like ACORN all the time. So tell me Eric, how does it feel to actually keep black people on that plantation of yours? It will take generations for African Americans to work their way out of this mess, thanks to people like Eric Holder.
Agreed…..generally, but what can we do to improve the situation of the blacks that’s hasn’t been tried before? Help for blacks simply must come from inside the black community itself.
A dominant worry of ours as a Nation should be that despite all of the pushes, entitlements, brilliance of a few…too few….black leaders, writers, religious motivators, the Administrations of such as Lyndon Johnson’s and Franklin Roosevelt’s…..despite all of these years and generations since Emancipation, affirmative actions of various sorts, we still have severe educational problems of little or no achievement except among too few; we’ve got alarming illegitimate birth ratios, absence of father participation, problems of general un-employability and a prevalent attitude of “stick it to th’ man” among the blacks.
This malaise seems to feed upon itself; but this must be overcome…somehow…..the Obama administration is just perpetuating these chronic problem we’ve had since Emancipation.
Someone once said, paraphrased…”… we cannot legislate social change.” The urgently needed changes in the black “attitude” need to come from within the black community itself.
A boy becomes a man when he realizes he must face his own life, his own mistakes and become self-sufficient. Blacks historically have been shielded from all three. Thus, they will never become true producers and participants of society. And this is why they have chosen to voluntarily segregate themselves from the rest of society; Because it’s easy. It takes courage to admit you’re failing.
I think you’ve hit it right on the head: it’s denial by any other name and I’d wager even politicized black Americans don’t believe half the nonsense they spout and that lack of confidence combined with the ability to see simple truths is why they’ll never willingly embrace the concept of a meritocracy, something they despise.
Such people say “we can” out of one side of their mouths but really say “we can’t” by never wanting to actually put their rhetoric to the test and be put out completely on their own and so the umbilical cord to a culture they profess great disdain for is never broken though stretched to the limit in cities like Detroit and Harrisburg.
Third World immigrants to America and the West acknowledge both the power of this umbilical cord and American exceptionalism with their actions plain enough and so the black elite is seen for what they are: people never stupid enough to be in the Third World in the first place if they can help it who say bread is buttered on one side but live the truth of the other.
That one picture is worth a thousand words and itself denies all the silly excuse-making rhetoric that emerges from the politically correct Left.
I can’t speak for black Americans but if I lived in a country where I thought the number one problem in my life was white racism I’d move to Africa so quick people would think I was never in America. My earlier reference to denial in my opinion denies the simple reality of where exceptionalism emanates from and so increasingly bizarre and complex and self-sealing arguments to explain away failure are the order of the day. The fear is that America blacks in Africa would sink into the background without trace and distinction in 2 generations.
The black elite in America blusters about the one thing they’ll never actually do with their actions because if black folks are that great and America that racist then Africa, not America is the place to be to show that oppressed and short circuited black exceptionalism on a stage where it cannot be denied and where excuses will be cut off at the hip.
Good stuff is where you find it, regardless of whether you want to or not or our stupid ideas of politeness and so an idea as simple as keeping score is a concept hated on the Left unless it can be turned upside-down. Were we to apply this concept to the Super Bowl the winner would be decided by debate and the Left’s team win every single time.
“This malaise seems to feed upon itself…”
It will continue to do so as long as the left works as hard as it does to perpetuate this while those on the other side of the aisle simply ignore it (because, for them, it’s too much like diving into a hornet’s nest with the left shouting accusations of “racism” at any attempts to turn it all around).
Good article, Mr. Adams. But why not call it what it is? You wrote “Holder’s racialist DOJ”. I believe the proper term would be “Holder’s racist DOJ”.
Haven’t we, all of us, had enough of this “entitled to” Bulls**t?
The greater lesson here, folks, is that we should use this current Obama “administration” as the benchmark for exactly what is to be avoided all costs in the future of our America.
I’ve posted elsewhere that I used to have great faith in the innate common sense of the American voter doing the sensible thing as long as he’s given ALL of the information needed for an intelligent voting decision.
No longer.
We’ve been snookered, deceived, hoodwinked….folks….into voting for a chameleon. We American voters should be ashamed of ourselves; however, we should also be aware that there will always remain a faction in this country who will vote for black incompetence simply because that candidate is black.
The former re-elected Mayor of our nation’s capital, Mayor Marion Barry, is the classic example of blind-black-bloc voting regardless of his widely publicized drug problems, woman problems and patronage problems, and general incompetence in being a mayor. The record is there for examination.
We must admit this hypocrisy amongst us and fight it….and recognize that our work is cut out for us.
Political Correctness is dangerous to our national health.
The package delivery guy here in my neighborhood is black. He’s an affable, happy guy who’s very sharp. He’s also a conservative. He doesn’t like Obama and he quoted a family member as saying, “I can’t see how anyone can work for the ACLU”.
So, take heart, America, they are here and they hear us and they are part of us and they want what we want. I would like to think there are more of him than there are fewer because we definitely speak the same language and understand the precarious position the nation is in.
But they do exist.
Agreed that they exist but there is faaaar too few of them in number yet to make a difference. The left has to be defeated somehow or it’s all for naught.
Yes, they exist. The problem many of us ( people in general,, but I am refering to the conservative/libertarian crowd ) is that we confuse culture with race. See Delia above. She is correct in her criticism, but incorrect in ascribing it to race…..it is a particular culture that has created the nightmare she points out.
“When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”
Here ya go Eric (you dolt)
That sums it up really nicely. Glad you posted that.
“When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?” We used to have something called a ‘work ethic’ for that.
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on some white guy’s face — forever.”
Holder isn’t merely another Obamunist ideologue; he’s also an inheritor of a dichotomy of mind that I’d hoped was gone, or at least weakening, among American Negroes: the master-slave dichotomy.
If a man knows only two social positions — master and slave — he will be compelled to see himself as one or the other. The years after the Civil War saw a slow movement among freed slaves toward self-acceptance as free men, but it was badly retarded by the counteraction of Jim Crow laws and the general assumption among Caucasians of Negroes’ racial inferiority. Those things helped to keep many of the newly freed in the slave half of the master-or-slave mindset.
The problem has persisted into our time, but with a difference: those afflicted have decided that if one must be either a master or a slave, they’d rather be masters. The distinguishing characteristic of a master in this view is his claim to the earnings of others as his due. They pursue this end through political methods.
Needless to say, not all American Negroes suffer this mental malady. But that it afflicts the coterie in power in Washington near-endemically has become quite clear.
It goes beyond just a matter of a master-slave mindset. They shield themselves behind an anti-work, anti-education, drug-trade, sleazy, baggy-pants, gutter-dwelling culture that I am not at all sure just how it originated. I get the impression that LBJ’s “great society” welfare programs helped to prompt it. Perhaps it’s their answer to the whites’ sleazy ’60s hippy, free-love, drug-loving lifestyles that some still have yet to outgrow. The trouble is, too many black communities have been hijacked by their underclass, & they have not fought very hard to get those communities back. I wonder why that is.
Translation: up the status quo, because these votes aint gonna buy themselves
It’s the Constitution, stupid!
Hopefully Christian Adams and D.Issa will be able to make serious contributions for the great loss at Breitbart.
What really gets my goat is the persistent ingratitude Africans-in-America show for their ancestors being rescued by Europeans from the hellhole that was – and is – Africa.
Bonus points for writing something many, I am sure, think but are hesitant to write.
And they should kiss the soil of America everyday and give thanks that they live here, instead of back in Africa where a competing tribe would be hacking them to death with machetes.
Well the Dems have created the welfare class that votes for them regardless of how bad they are. Is that the plan eric? Everybody on welfare and no one works?
eric I have read up on the history of blacks in the US. The Dems were the party that voted against abolition, voting rights and equal rights. The Reps. supported those measures.
eric the best thing you can do for your country is plead guilty for Fast and Furious, New Black Panther voting fraud and the dead voting. Incompetence does not have a colour.
“When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”
Amen to that. I say we continue race preferences until we have both a black president and a black attorney general.
Wait. What?
Affirmative Action, racial preferences for admission to universities as a function of some idiot’s assessment of racial balance, preferences in employment, the whole nine yards, has led to individuals achieving positions that they would possibly or even probably never have achieved on their own merits.
Would Barack have been admitted to Columbia & Harvard, would Michelle have been admitted to Princeton, would the Wise Latina be on the Supreme Court…on their own merits ?
Holder is one of those guys that Booker T. Washington, over a century ago, would have seen as a race hustler. At the outset of his tenure as AG, Holder said that Americans are “cowards” when it came to race.
We can’t be cowards when it comes to morons.
Is he currently yakking about race to distract from the fact that so many in Congress have called for his resignation over the idiocy of Fast & Furious, not to mention all the other idiocies ?
How did we move from “Ask not what your country can do for you,” to “Pay for my birth control pills!”?
Start off with FDR & continue on with LBJ. It’s all been a downhill slide since their stints at the helm of the WH.
Start off with Woodrow Wilson, skip to FDR and then continue with LBJ.
I view the racialism of the present administration and the DoJ as an infection on the body politic, now coming to a head. If we, the American people (and I mean ALL the American people) have the courage of our convictions, we will lance the poison and finally clean it out of our system. Only then will we get a society where race doesn’t matter at all.
The first step is to get rid of the present administration and sweep the DoJ clean.
Hopefully, as the true state of our national affairs becomes more evident, great/greater numbers of the Democrat’s white base will peel off, once they realize that a thimble-full of crumbs is about all they’ll have out the shrinking pie if the Obama/Holder/Pelosi faction of their leadership has its way. I have dim expectations for American blacks. So much dysfunction, sense of entitlement and anti-white hate in so many levels of their community. I can’t help but think of the video footage of giddy blacks cheering and clapping when O.J. Simpson was found not guilty. O.J. Simpson – a multiple murderer whose guilt many blacks accepted as fact but who was nonetheless given a mulligan because of the color of his skin – and perhaps because of the color of his victims’ skin. Disgraceful.
I’ve been saying for about a year that the Democratic Party is an anti-white hate party.
The media are always asking “WHAT are the Republicans going to do to appeal to hispanics/blacks/whatevers?!?!” Well, what are the Democrats going to do to appeal to whites? The Democrats hate our guts and vilify whites as evil monsters all the time for the sake of their own political gain. The two headed media/Democrat-government monster that rules America is our mortal enemy.
Why any white person would vote for Democrats I can’t say. Voting Democrat is voting for white suicide. I wouldn’t vote Democrat if they held a gun to my head.
And I say these things as a lifelong California resident and formerly young and ignorant liberal. If the US (whites in particular) don’t start honestly admitting and discussing certain realities, this country is going to look like some combination of Yugoslavia and Mexico.
Django: “Why any white person would vote for Democrats I can’t say. Voting Democrat is voting for white suicide. I wouldn’t vote Democrat if they held a gun to my head.”
Outstanding!! The only reason is the sheer lust for power. Whites like Piglosi, Durbags and other Demoncratic whites and the elite whites of the MSM, 527s, unions and colleges know their bread is buttered by each other and they all share a lust for power. The only way they can get this power is to divide the nation by race (and class) and then seek to enslave blacks and hispanics with their power. They know blacks/hispanics are easily manipulated and deceived. That evidence is abundantly clear in any inner city owned by Dems.
Porgressive whites have convinced white Americans to actually vote and support programs inherently disadvantaging them as white Americans. And either through thought control, guilt or stupidity many good white Americans still vote for Dems. Call it cognitive dissonance to the nth degree.
I doubt America will become a balkanized Yugoslavia. There will be a second civil war before it gets that bad. At least I hope there are enough Americans who will not let America die.
I spent a lot of years in and around government and consequently spent a lot of time working for, with, and around tokens of various stripes and all sorts of AA and preference hires. A few, a very few, were actually competent and diligent. Most had to be surrounded by people who did their job for them and left the speeches and other public appearances to the ceremonial token. In my experience the tokens came in two varieties. By far the largest group were oblivious to the fact that they weren’t doing anything resembling the job they were being paid to do and simply presumed that everyone else at that level had a similar entourage of briefcase toters and fixers. They commonly thought that putting your latest cutie on the payroll was what everybody did. They commonly thought that abusing travel privileges and claiming all sorts of perks was what everybody did. They generally assumed the worst of what they thought people with power and position did and felt entitled to do it themselves. I think this alone goes far to explain the endemic corruption in Black-run governments. The other variety is a much more complex and often very angry and difficult person: s/he knows s/he’s not really qualified and not really doing the job. Some of those just sullenly take the pay, benefits, and perks and let their supporting cast do the job but others use the position to angrily lash out and to settle old scores.
Your problem as an administration with dealing with the upsets these people cause is that if you try to rein them in, the first thing out is the race card. Then you’re placed in the position of trying to prove that no, not everybody DOES rent a Cadillac or Lincoln instead of the government contract economy car. No, not everybody does decide they’re not dressed right for the meeting and go buy a new wardrobe on a government credit card. And, all too commonly, no, not everybody is sleeping with half the females around them.
Few administrations are willing to take the heat so they just cover for a token’s bad acts. I’ve only seen one high-level token pushed out, and he was pushed very gently. That one went so far as to hire his boy toy into a fairly high-level job with authority over people who had real jobs to do; that’s a guaranteed revolt and it didn’t take long to happen, but it took a lot of skillful work to get it under control, hush it up, and push the guy and his “friend” out. ‘Course, they were holding four aces; minority and homosexual, so they’d have been media darlings if treated “badly” by partisan and mean-spirited Republicans.
Since practically everybody in the Obama Junta either got to power and privilege through AA or got there in academia where the only standard for perfomance is whether you agree with the herd, there are NO adults in charge and no entourage who are really doing the job and trying their best to keep the incompetent or self-serving token from doing something stupid. We simply must get rid of these people in November and vow that we will never let it happen again. It is hard enough to afford a few tokens in an otherwise reasonably functioning organization, but the US is being run by a government made of of tokens and frauds – and they all think they’re just doing what everybody else who’s had these jobs did. We are also seeing the worst effect of a left-leaning media and political correctness. I will guarantee you that there are high-level merit system supervisors and managers – the level just below appointees where real work gets done- who would be screaming bloody murder about the things that are going on if a Republican were doing it and those people would have a ready and warm reception from the media where they’d be glorified as whistleblowers. If you try to be a whistleblower on a Demorat Administration, if you’re noticed at all, you’re derided as a disgruntled employees who is a poor performer or who was denied a promotion or appointment or the reporter just calls the appointee being complained about an tells him/her, “Joe Blows says you’re doing so and so,” whereupon the whole administration coalesces around the beleagured appointee and hunts Joe Blow down and shoots him like a dog in the road. And then they release a story about how they’re dealing with people who got unauthorized access to confidential materials and leaked them – and the press applauds their efforts at having a responisble workforce. Any of this sound familiar?
Thank you, Art, for articulating so well just what is behind our cowardly team of Pubs in the House & Senate who refuse to do what is needed to impeach Obama & put Holder on trial for blatant criminal activity. Now, we have to count on enough voters having the good sense to arrive at the polls this November with a mind to support whomever is NOT Obama for POTUS.
There’s no way I’d support a move to impeach without 60 absolutely committed votes in the Senate. Frankly, I don’t think any Democrat officeholder can be impeached with the Democrats’ ownership of the MSM.
Particularly with some of Holder’s bad acts, there is some room for a Republican state AG to put some pressure on him and his minions. Where we should be fighting Comrade Obama’s illigitimate junta is with the state governments we control. There’s hardly a union in the Country whose dues system could withstand any scruting. Most of the non-profits and other Democrat front groups that live off federal funds transferred through state governments are nothing more than money laundries for the Democrats and few could withstand any scrutiny of either their performance or their financial management. We need to start seeing some union and “community” leaders wearing orange.
There’s a way around that problem- force Obama to fire Holder by holding funding for the Justice Department hostage until he does.
“It is hard enough to afford a few tokens in an otherwise reasonably functioning organization…”
ain’t this the truth
Art Chance = VOICE OF REASON
Art, I, too, worked with people who considered themselves, “special.” The darker shades of our office (that was headed by a ‘minority’) would walk into our office two hours late from lunch, heartily laughing so all the lighter skinned minions would hear and know that they were ‘special’ and could come in whenever they felt like it. When we all went to lunch together, (seldom) the darker shades would leave either no tip or $1. I, especially, having very light skin, blue eyes and dark hair was called, “Snow White.” I was cited for working late when I just straightened up my office, readying it for the next day. Sorry I can’t fix my punctuation, this thing won’t let me move my cursor the way I want to. Anyway, we were well aware of what the score was….this was a state office. Sad, I left, had to move for husband’s work, but a friend that stayed wrote me that the ‘head’ was working hard to get rid of all whites in that particular office, and had succeeded except for her. This woman hated white people and made no secret of it.
“Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin. … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”
Ol’ eric just can’t leave the cotton fields back home, can he!
“Entitled” eric? Shirley you jest..
The GOP has proven itself useless, in responding to the Obama administration. I would have to assume that if they are afraid to oppose the Democrat agenda now, they would continue to be afraid if they increase their power by wins in the Senate, and/or White House. Then the fear would be that they would be voted out of office again.
Do not expect any changes from the Republicans, they have become collaborators with the Democrats in big government.
I have to wonder how many of the supposedly Tea Party candidates we elected, were only using that mantle to get into office, because too many of them have reverted to business as usual.
It’s interesting that you bring that up because before the 2010 elections I was assessing the republican leadership that way. In that the freshmen electees would have a come-to-Jesus meeting and Boehner et al would lay it out for them.
“We’re not going to have any cowboy renegade do-it-yourselfers start making waves and making the party look bad” would be a typical opening sentence. If it’s one thing crusty, wingtip-wearing guys like Boehner hate, is having the newbies making him look bad.
But this is not unexpected. From our days at school, through our careers in our chosen professions, and even at the poker-table and the local bar there is the “pecking order” where the “old-heads” lay it out for the “newbies” or “outsiders”. It’s pretty typical human behavior, really but has done more harm than good, I say.
When someone used to tell me in the military, “You just don’t DO that!” I would reply, “Why not? Why hasn’t someone told him the truth?” and the stories of how speaking your mind would get you hung on the cross. That part of human behavior has always been a display of cowardice to me. Not just the people afraid to speak openly, albeit respectfully and politely, but the reactions of the people being spoken to. When they retaliate by ruining someone’s career, it’s just as childish as when a kid has a tantrum.
I have fought against this all my life. Some people seem adept at just doing their jobs, ignoring the abuses, inconsistencies, illegal activity, lies, etc etc and letting it go. For me, it’s a source of frustration though I like to leave work at work and have slowly gotten better about not caring about it.
But it also seems to be something that both sets of kiddies in their respective parties seem to count on heavily..the status quo, the “accepted way of doing business” and “clearing” everything through a senior government dweeb to make sure the party isn’t embarrassed or made to look bad. Ugh. Sickening.
I’d like Holder to define what “more diversity” means. You either have diversity or you do not. I think “more lollipops” would have been more accurate.
In any case, the stated goal of affirmative action is to, in liberal terminology, “level the playing field.” If we need affirmative action forever, the obvious conclusion is that affirmative action simply doesn’t work as currently designed. Holder ought to explain why we should continue require more of a remedy that clearly doesn’t provide a cure. Of course, liberals are consistent in expecting different outcomes from repeatedly failed practices. Just look at how they hurl money at public schools.
Exactly. If we must have racial/ethnic preferences in perpetuity, it can only mean that affirmative action has been and will continue to be an abject failure.
AA will never go away. Notice how AA does not effect certain areas of American society…like the Dems staffs, msm, college professors and administrators, WH reporters, lefty 527 groups (how many blacks are their in the Sierra Club, etc) and progressive foundations and the legal system. As long as the Dems control these areas they will support AA and continue to win over blacks. And stay in power.
I say we use economics to decrease the power of each of these Demonrat controlled parts of America. Tax union dues, tax 527s, tax progressive foundations and organizations. Pit these groups against the lefties they say they support: For instance, tell blacks that we are going to tax union dues amd lefty 527s and the money will go toward welfare. We should demand a black replace Matt Pantload. We should demand blacks be put in charge of HuffPo and MM. We should demand that 50% of every college professor and administrator be black.
Get our side together and do what progs have recently done to Rush. Which brings up a good question: why do we always let the left control our speech through protest? Where is our side supporting Rush? How come we don’t threaten companies who support the left?
My ancestors helped run the Underground Railroad before and during the Civil War. Am I entitled to retroactive fares from descendants of black Americans they helped because of this? By Holder’s logic it would seem so if whites are still supposed to pay reparations, and affirmative action is certainly a form of reparation.
In 1861 my great grandfather, at the age of 14, ran away from home in Old Lyme CT, lied about his age and enlisted in D Compnay, 12th Conn. Volunter Infantry … and in 1864 he re-enlisted as a veteran volunter and had to lie about his age again. If I’m not entitled to compensation from today’s Zinjanthropic chronic malingerers then they’re not entitled to anything from me.
Black victimhood will continually be cultivated or instigated.
Otherwise, the entire industry and government bureaucracy that administers, consults to, teaches, publishes about, etc, Affirmative Action and its related policies has no reason to exist. Careers would be decimated. Therefore victimhood must be stoked.
As well, were blacks not constantly encouraged to act as victims they may actually turn their loyalties away from their Democrat handlers and an important Democrat voting block could be lost.
Too many vested and entrenched interests to ever want to see an end to black victimhood – whether real or exaggerated.

Calling me white is racist as is the use of “minority” and “people of color”. Allowing the use of that language forfeits the debate before it begins. Who is Eric Holder to demean the suffering of my ancestors? Who gets to say who is Hispanic? Should Obama’s children get racial preferences?
“Holder Wants Race Preferences and Benefits . . . Forever”
Well, that’s pretty much what Democrats have wanted ever since their fascist-like political party crawled out from under a rock back in the 19th century.
Why would anyone axpect that to change?
It’s what the Radical Republicans and later the Progressives wanted. Remember: the Dems used to be the party of Jim Crow. They got taken over by socialists later.
No, it was the Democrats who wanted special privileges and penalties for people of certain races…just like they do now.
What the Republicans wanted was for ALL MEN to be treated equally under the law, and to end the abomination of race-based slavery (or any kind of slavery that wasn’t a piunishment for a crime, for that matter).
I think he is referring to the GOPers like TR and the like who historically thought of big government as the savior of America. Other progs dressed in GOP are W, Nixon (I believe he first introduced AA), McLame, Grahamnesty, any GOP from the NE, etc. We have too many blue-blooded progs in our party. Thus the switch from GOP to conservatives/TEA party Americans.
Sorry, Dave – I did mean *Radical* Republicans. Republican Republicans were satisfied with keeping the Union together. Radical Republicans wanted to forcibly re-engineer Southern politics and society so as to make former slaves into full citizens. In this they were radical statists. Like all radical statists, they believed that they could legislate into existence the kind of society they dreamed of. Don’t get me wrong – I believe the Radical Republicans were morally correct as far as race relations went. The problem was, they tried to use state power as a shortcut to Utopia. They ignored the complexities and refused to listen to the wisdom of the opposition. Their legislation succeeded painting a temporary veneer of citizenship over black people’s lives while ignoring the deeper issues that would later undo Reconstruction. When the Radical Republicans faded away, so did the state-enforced “equality” of black people in the South.
This shows the essential weaknesses of statism. The State is people. Politicians come and go, doing expedient deals all the while. Laws can be repealed. The State giveth and the State taketh away. “Fundamental change” has to come from the bottom up. That’s democracy.
One irony of AA is it actually makes it harder to hire people from AA-favored groups, so they concentrate in very large organizations where the quotas and such things actually matter. In small business, even a threat of an AA-related lawsuit will bankrupt you, so the last person you’ll take a chance on is a person who may sue you under the various AA laws if they don’t work out.
So, you set the bar extremely high to hire someone from those groups: if they’re a rockstar, ok, you may hire them. If they’re more ordinary, why take a chance? And you’ll get into far less trouble hiring an illegal worker and getting caught than you will hiring a worker from an AA-favored group and getting sued.
And in my experience, most of the business owners making this calculation aren’t European-descended whites themselves, or if they are, they’re first-gen immigrants, so blaming evil whitey won’t really work here.
Near the end of a working life in which I was responsible for hiring many people, I got to the point where I wanted to consider only white, middle-aged, Christian, heterosexual males because they’re the only ones who don’t enjoy special legal protections. They still might have been able to sue me, but they would have had to come up with something pretty damn good to do it. Such is one of the main reasons employers look for off-shore help.
“The only surprise is the dumbfounded, stuck, GOP response — which would be none.”
If you are surprised by the indifference shown by the sissyboy bullies and lickspittles in the repube party, then you are still fantasizing about being rescued by Prince Charming. Face it: the power-worshiping warfare wing of the current regime is not really going to do battle with the power-worshiping welfare wing, and certainly not over something of interest limited to the taxpaying masses – and something linked to race. Just shut up, roll over like a good and servile flunky, and thank you for your vote for the two-party system and your continued contributions to the Republican Party.
“When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”
I would say that since the person who holds the highest elected office in the nation is a person of color, that people of color DO receive the benefits to which they are entitled. It seems that the left is completely flummoxed by this obvious evidence that there are not race based opportunity limits. It is almost as if they fear they will no longer be relevant since they have won the civil rights battle.
Bobcat. Check out Losing Ground by Charles Murray for a frightening description of what LBJ’s Great Society and its descendents did to the black family which was relatively intact beforehand. The same good intentioned people are still around, there are more of them, and their message dominates the culture.
I can just imagine what Murray might have to say; I admire his work. Prole Models, a piece he came out with a few years back, is stellar.
Basic problem is that the people who push entitlements never tell anyone what it is they believe they are trying to accomplish. What are their criteria for success? When and how will we know that affirmative action has “worked?” How do we know if it is or is not working now?
They hesitate to say that it is working, always maintaing that we’re not there yet, the goal is still far off, more work and money and laws are needed. At the same time, they won’t admit that if the present measures haven’t moved us closer to the goal then maybe they’re the wrong measures.
I wonder if this vagueness isn’t an intentional strategy. If nobody knows what you really want, you can ask for anything. Seems to work for the North Koreans. Nobody knows what they really want but we have to keep giving them whatever they ask for just to keep them quiet. After a while, it starts to seem more like an extortion scheme than a program designed to produce a definite result.
Liberalism is on dislay every day. Just look at Oakland, Newark, Detriot, or East St. Louis. They are caldrons of degregation, despair, and drug users. Heck most of the people in Detroit can’t read and write. Liberalism, communism, fascism, utopianism, kingships, dictatorships, or statism is a loser whereever its been tried. You can’t give hands outs and make people strong; it only weakens their character. We have proof, but no politicans with any guts.
They’re still stuck on stupid, the past, and their own survival.
Drove through East St Louis and Cahokia recently to check out one of my Alma Maters. The college is shutdown and the area looks like photos of 3rd world countries.
They are creating idiocracy on purpose.
If we institute Affirmative Action for blacks permanently, we must assume that they are permanently diminished and cant keep up with society in general.
And yet blacks can’t see this. Are the geniuses like Cornell “I got my Ph.D. at Walmart” West, Michael “I talk to fast to know what I am saying” Dyson and Mark Lamont “I live Bill Oreally” Hill and Maxine “I don’t care how totally ignorant I sound” Waters and others eally too stupid to see this or just playing along with “da man who be white” because he gives me money and the opportunity to be someone special? If they are the best that blacks have then they I guess they really do need help.
Maybe it would help if he would explain which benefits “people of color” are entitled to that “people of non-color” aren’t. Maybe then we could arrange for the PoC to get them.
Maybe Holder could explain what possible diversity “people of color” bring to the table if color doesn’t matter? He’s a moron who doesn’t read Orwell. Either color does matter or it doesn’t. The United States of America is as complex and sophisticated a nation as has ever existed. The idea it needs an infusion of failure from the Third World or new idea from those totally different/not different black Americans is absurd. We were doing just fine dominating the world in every possible way.
What the hell is Holder even talking about? Of course he’s talking about the world through the racial lens of 12% of the populace who see the entire world as a failure on their terms while bewilderingly decrying ethnocentrism. Well, who’s ethnocentrism are you going to criticize more, European Americans who have embraced a goggling arrays of interests that cover every possible field of interest or the narrow interests of black Americans that has 3 times the population of Greece or Portugal and 10% of the diversity of interest and thought. America doesn’t need the help, thanks anyway. Holder should be asked to resign. He doesn’t even pretend to be the Atty General of anything but black America anymore.
I have often wondered why the Republican Party – hell, Conservatives of all stripes – don’t keep hammering at the Democrats about the world their policies over 45+ years have led us.
All of it: the inner-city ghettos full of nothing more than the dependent, the drug-addled, and the predatory, sociopathic Gansta. The destruction of the black family. The sheer weight of the entitled for literally fluff reasons. The obscene use of our laws, manipulated and perverted to allow for ludicrous laws that micro-manage you to the nth degree.
As a Party, they’re very big on “ownership” of a thing; as was said in the movie [i]Rising Sun[/i], “Americans seek to fix the blame.” Well, damnit, perhaps it’s time to use that same rule against them.
If it be said that the “Great Society” program of LBJ was a vast social engineering experiment, then it is time to declare it a failure.
That’s a strength the GOP has, whether they realize it or not. Given the rhetoric over those four plus decades, there is no way the Democrats can try to finger the blame for all of it on the Republicans.
Sorry, that was a Lucy Van Pelt moment, waking around, yelling, “Aggghhh!”
Holder says he “can’t actually imagine a time in which the need for more diversity would ever cease.” Except, perhaps, on the campuses of traditional black colleges where it was never an issue in the first place. Odd, that.
his bunch of lackeys sold illegal arms to the mexican drug cartels to inflate some statistics in order to do an unconstitutional ‘gun grab’, that got hundreds of people dead. and he is still on the job as oenema’s strong arm guy, and still spouting racial crap to enflame the enemies of his boss.
gosh, is this a big hearted, forgiving country or what? next few months are going to be interesting. i’m still betting on the mayan’s to be right (12-21-12). interesting numbers, eh?
Eric Holder is just continuing what has been drummed into most blacks since the NAACP found out there are dollar signs in racism. The main problem is a lack of a good education and instead of putting their money into better teachers and schools they prefer to pocket most of what they take in and blame Whitey.
Here in Daytona we have one of the finest Black Colleges in the world in Bethune Cookman College. Bill Cosby is one of their biggest donors and the students are first rate. The problem is, nobody puts any money into the elementary schools and they have a very hard time finding and keeping good teachers. They were on the right track back when they came up with the idea of busing in that it was originally designed to get the blacks out of the run down schools and into the more modern white schools. Problems arose when the blacks resented being told their schools were second rate (which they were and still are) and the whites resented being dragged down by the black students that didn’t have the knowledge to keep up. Now, instead of bringing the black schools up to standard, they’ve decided to dumb down the white students in the name of racial equality.
If Reverend? Jackson , the NAACP and others like them had just shut up and helped their people get a better basic education we wouldn’t be having this argument now. Instead of crying wolf (racism) we would be equal now. Instead, they seem to prefer to keep the black people under their thumbs, rake in the money and blame everything on the evil white man.
Wait like Sukie @46 alluded to, isn’t a black college a racist institution? How come blacks can have a single color only college and white Americans can not? How come blacks can have it either way. Either integration is bad (black only colleges) or segregation is good (black only colleges), which is it?
“When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”
When they earn them?
Affirmative action in America is nothing but a liberal racial hate crime; wherein there is a definitive PC hierarchy in the spoils system.
That is:
Muslim greater than > equal to = Black; greater than > White.
Transgendered = Double wild card
Female = Wild card only
Example thus:
Transgendered Muslim Female > Muslim Female > Muslim Male
Muslim Black Male > Black Male
And note:
Conservative Black = “Acting white” = White
I could go on… but YOU get the idea.
I think that this is one of the poorest written articles I’ve ever read on this blog site. Eric Holder is a racist….dahhhh! Who doesn’t know this? Let’s write a couple of paragraphs on it and bate everyone to comment on it.
There is an old expression: cut the head of the snake off and the rest will die. Get out there and make sure Obama is not re-elected. The rest will happen by itself. Vote! Get your friends to vote! Work for the Republican party! Send money!
Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin. … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?
As far as I’m concerned, we’re all people of color. And I mean that in the most literal way possible. Given that there are no (literally) transparent people – at least I’ve never met one – we all have a color. That color may be black or brown or white but it’s still a color. Therefore, if anyone is entitled to benefits, WE ALL ARE.
I’m really sick of political correctness and what it has done to our language. I am a person of color and so are you. EVERYONE IS. Let’s get rid of this noxious term which makes no sense whatever.
I’ve asked this before but still no real answer. How is it that 12% of the population demands 50% or more of jobs, opportunity, education, and any other services that anyone else might actually get as reward for their (not the 12%) work or effort?
Well, that 12% commits about murders 40% in any given year.
What is your data point?
A job is a job.
I have had a more personal reason for questioning affirmative action. Prior ro having surgery I met the anaestheologist, a young asian man. However, just prior to the surgery I was told he had been replaced by a young black woman. Thoughts of affirmative action entered my mind. I had taught classes which had involved some affirmative action and had a definite opinion. in retrospect, perhaps I should have made a complaint after the surgery. The female physician may have been a wonderful doctor but one does not know and it could be a very sticky issue.
Just to cheer you up guys here is the way Obambi will get himself re-elected. First the Racist Blacks who voted for Obambi 95% last time will vote for him again in the same Racist way so thats 13% of the vote then you have the 20-25% of the American voters who are irredeemably Left Wing moonbats so that 33-38% locked in votes Obumbler has without even trying. Now add to that the 20 -25% of the American voting pubic who are gullible, naive, non investigative and just plain stupid and you will see that Husseins re-election is not just possible its probable. Think not ??????? Well it happened last time and whats the difference now ? You think that people did not know what Obambi was before ?
If Blacks are so successful, intelligent and hard working why is it that most of Africa is a basket case and all Black run cities in the USA are corrupt violent cesspits. There is not one single country in Africa in which the inhabitants are better off now than they were under the wicked Colonials. Zimbabwe the erstwhile Rhodesia has gone from Africa’s Bread Basket under Colonial rule to Africa’s Basket Case under Black management. South Africa , the mugging and murder capital of the world, is way down the slippery slope following it as is Kenya where Obambi’s Muslim Cousin rules. No need of ‘Affirmative Action’ in these cases as the Blacks have had full control for 50 YEARS NOW and its perfectly obvious what the results of that are.
White prog’s heads exploding….David Brock out on a ledge. John Podesta caught running naked down Pennsylvania Ave. AG Holder threatens an investigation on how racist America is while speaking to himself in a DOJ bathroom.
Deviating from the concept that all men are created equal under God-given unalienable rights will perpetually enable the devil’s work via devisiveness.
Well this moron thinks he actually has brains.
So Holder and George Wallace (another Democrat) have a lot in common:
“I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever”.
20 years from now hopefully we will look back on people like Holder as the clowns that they are for actually advocating for justice based on skin pigmentation in the 21st century. The only way, in our multiracial society, for us to even tell who is member of the “people of color” or “my people” as our Attorney General refers to them, is to have the equivalent of German Blood Declarations – no mischlings allowed.
Eric Holder is a bitter, bitter coward who either believes in the superiority of “people of color” or in the inferiority of them. How else to explain his devotion to the “more equal” school of justice? Funny coming from the man who is supposed to administer equal justice under the law for all 300 million Americans. For those of us who really want to advance race relations based on mutual respect regardless of silly things like melanoma, Eric Holder is the worst possible pick for AG that our first black president could have made at the time. He is a racist in the purest sense of the word and a disaster for this country.
Ha, I thought that was the whole reason…
From #13 LaSouthenboy said, “The problem many of us ( people in general,, but I am refering to the conservative/libertarian crowd ) is that we confuse culture with race. See Delia above. She is correct in her criticism, but incorrect in ascribing it to race…..it is a particular culture that has created the nightmare she points out.”
From where else but the black community did this culture come?
reverse discrimination and now reverse apartheid.
…this will end badly
Question for Eric Holder: What happens when American whites also begin to think of themselves as racial victims?
Answer: Eric, baby, you already know the answer…and it should terrify you.
I wish “we” could plaster all the intelligent comments in places where the lefties would have to read some…send all the books to the white house one to moochelle and Barack’s office..(that he can’t stay in) that put a light on the ignorance and illness of all of these horrendous minds that are “NOT MINDS’ BUT
sick people who never owned their crap and promulgate more crap……
Hasn’t he stepped down yet, or been arrested?
the civil rights division of the DOJ has always been a hotbed of anti-white racism. its not afirmative action its racial discrimination. calling it affirmative action is just the old marxist semantic game, like war is hell but revolution is glorious.
it they truely believe in this crap they would be suing black employers until they had the correct percentage of white employees. white employers employ a higher percentage of blacks, hispanics, indians and asians then any of those races hire whites. the DOJ knows this but the only employers that get sued are white employers. and they only suits the DOJ persue are on behalf of non-whites. the lawyers in the DOJ don’t believe that the civil rights laws apply to whites. how is that for equal rights!
The Evil of Censoring Black Crime
I have frequently posted articles relating to the bias of the mainstream media when it comes to reporting incidents involving racial violence and hate crimes, which raises the question of whether commenting on black racism constitutes white racism.
I think not, although the MSM would beg to differ and unless propaganda now trumps honesty.
Various members of the MSM have even admitted their censorship of news and defended the practice on the theory that they are preserving social harmony by selectively editing news stories, not publishing the whole truth, or by totally ignoring racist crimes.
In fact, they are instilling a distrust of all media on the part of those aware of the censorship–as well as shirking their journalistic responsibility and subverting journalistic ethics.
Last week, yet another blatant instance of racially-inspired hatred occurred in Kansas City, Missouri although, based on the coverage the story has received, few people will ever hear of it.
A 13 year old, white, eighth-grade boy was heading home from classes at Kansas City’s East High School two blocks away. He almost made it safely.
He was followed by two older, black males who, according to his mother, may have been students at East Hills. They accosted him on his doorstep, poured gasoline on him and set him ablaze.
He managed to extinguish the flames but suffered first degree burns on his face and possible injury to his lungs and eyes and spent hours in a hospital burn unit.
The attack was horrendous enough, the media coverage almost worse.
The boy’s mother told police that one of the assailants said, “This is what you deserve. You get what you deserve, white boy. . .

we get to vote. vote. vote obama and holder and hillary and the muslims in the white house out. historians will not believe we ever had this strange creepy guy and his minions in an american administration. i doubt they will even speak of it, or write about it. the same way, that we really don’t know that much about reconstruction except in an overview of post civil war southern discomfort. the blacks have not even gotten to the point of realizing they were sold into slavery by neighboring african tribes, or that arabs still hold slavery not to be extant.
personally, i just want an american president with an american head of the department of justice. a merit system reinstated in our colleges and universities. criminal thugs imprisoned and no plea bargaining.
i am embarrassed for black americans.
