Matthew Boyle at Daily Caller covers Eric Holder’s nutty explanation of why Fast and Furious is such a scandal – Holder says the controversy surrounding him is because of his skin color.
Holder has crossed a line that must have the political people at the White House climbing the walls. The only thing that could make the Fast and Furious scandal worse than it already is would be for Eric Holder to say he is so controversial because he is black. Of course none of this should surprise anyone who read my book Injustice. The book opens with rotted racialist views that Holder holds near and dear, very near. It describes a clipping Eric Holder carried in his wallet for decades – a clipping from Harlem preacher Samuel Proctor. From Injustice:
For much of his life, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. carried around something peculiar. While most people keep cash, family photos, and credit cards in their wallets, Holder revealed to a reporter in 1996 that he keeps with him an old clipping of a quote from Harlem preacher Reverend Samuel D. Proctor. Holder put the clipping in his wallet in 1971, when he was studying history at Columbia University, and kept it in wallet after wallet over the ensuing decades.
What were Proctor’s words that Holder found so compelling?
“Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else. Black people have a common cause that requires attending to, and this cause does not allow for the rigid class separation that is the luxury of American whites. There is a sense in which every black man is as far from liberation as the weakest one if his weakness is attributable to racial injustice.”
When asked to explain the passage, Holder replied, “It really says that … I am not the tall U.S. attorney, I am not the thin United States Attorney. I am the black United States attorney. And he was saying that no matter how successful you are, there’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.”
What is surprising that Charlie Savage even published Holder’s racialist gripe at the New York Times. Two possibilities. Savage is so in the tank for the administration, something the same article reveals on other points, that he simply did not recognize the volcanic nature of the complaint. Savage perhaps agrees with it. The second possibility is that Holder is performing his best Marc Antony act (the Roman, not the singer) and giving himself up as gone. Nothing stokes the base like a progressive who met his demise because of the perceived evil racial motivation of his enemies. The two possibilities are not mutually exclusive.
Mr. Holder is a racist, pure and simple.
If anyone can argue that Holder’s arguments on race don’t share the same intellectual space as Joseph Goebbels I’d like to hear it.
Holder gets a pass but this won’t be true forever. More importantly, reality cares nothing for Holder’s crazy view of how the world revolves around black Americans.
The problem Holder has with race is not just his upbringing and formative worldview year for some so-called “black” justice that he wants to use as a crutch to overcome some phantom racism on account of others, it’s that he knows, deep down, he just doesn’t have the character to rise above it despite it all should bring him.
Unfortunately for Mr. Holder, he is “not the tall U.S. attorney”, he is “not the thin United States Attorney”, and few know or care if he is “the black United States attorney.” We know him as the corrupt United States Attorney General.
Why is anyone in the world surprised that Eric (“my people”) Holder would think this and say it? Notice he made this remark while his boss was on vacation. Oh wait, his boss probably agrees with this line of thinking so it doesn’t matter anyway. What is it now —- 400 more days?
Is there any truth to this article that links Holder to the Oklahoma bombings?
http://www.coachisright.com/ag-eric-holder-responsible-for-168-deaths-in-1995-oklahoma-city-bombing…and-more/
“Documents obtained by Salt Lake City attorney Jesse Trentadue in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit show then Clinton Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder authorized members of the FBI to provide explosives to Oklahoma City bombing criminals Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols immediately prior to the April, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah building.”
– for trying to move forward by electing Obama the POTUS.
I guess saying “You’re all persecuting me because I’m black” is psychologically easier to say than, “I’m responsible for one of the worst scandals in DoJ history.”

We have seen more Anti-American under the Obama administration than any other administration in American history…Holder,Your Fired You Son Of A Bitch.(people,you have to know who the enemy is..do your home-work)
Here is an interesting thing I have learned in life: when a person states assertively something they couldn’t possibly know is true, in this case not liking Holder because he is black, the only thing actually shown is a view of the mind of the person making the statements.
Holder is therefore showing us something our judgement and instincts about the man confirm: he disdains and advocates by race himself and assumes this is the way the world works in general. Meanwhile I’m playing the part of the horse accidentally shot in the Bugs Bunny cartoon and saying “What’d I do, what’d I do?”
Holder here shows himself to be a third class intellect with such childish pronouncements and which echo nearly the entirety of black Americans writers on the Left which is nearly all of them. When I hear Cornel West introduced as a “premiere intellectual” I can only laugh. No Holder, West and their ilk have such trouble understanding the world since their views entirely revolve around race and the world itself does not.
““Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else.” -Holder
Of course you have to add what Holder is thinking:
“And as long as my heart is beating I intend to keep it that way!”
