Holder: US is nation of cowards on racial matters

"n things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."





WASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing unresolved racial issues.

In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," said Holder, nation's first black attorney general.

Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but "we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race."

He urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for frank talk about racial matters.

"It is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation's history, this is in some ways understandable," Holder said. "If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us."

He told Justice Department employees they have a special responsibility to advance racial understanding.

Attorney General Holder has called America "a nation of cowards" when it comes to "things racial." According to Holder, "average Americans" are afraid to "talk enough with each other about race."

By using the word "cowards," Holder has gotten himself some attention, at least for today. That's ironic because his long-winded speech is 99 percent content free.

To add to the irony, in the one place where Holder introduces a little content, he demonstrates that he has no interest in genuine dialogue, and reveals himself to be a "coward" on "things racial."

Here is Holder on the crucial issue of "affirmative action" (a coward's name for race-based preferences):

There can, for instance, be very legitimate debate about the question of affirmative action. This debate can, and should, be nuanced, principled and spirited. But the conversation that we now engage in as a nation on this and other racial subjects is too often simplistic and left to those on the extremes who are not hesitant to use these issues to advance nothing more than their own, narrow self interest.

So in one breath, Holder calls for a frank discussion of race, rather than the normal polite talk that evades tough issues; in the next breath, he attempts to rule out of the debate positions that he finds "extreme" while demonizing those who hold them. In the one instance where Holder is willing to be specific, we learn that his real complaint is not the absence of candid discussion, but rather the articulation of positions he doesn't like.

We have plenty of problems as a nation. I doubt that insufficient discussion of race is one of them. But if it is, Holder's mind-set is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Now we witness the benefits and rewards of affirmative action.

Whale shit has higher ethics than Holder. And probably a better grasp of reality as well.

As pointed out, he is demanding a discussion, but only on his terms with the subject clearly constrained.

In another portion of his speech he clearly states where he intends to do something about the right of 'free association' is a social setting. I can hardly wait to see what form that takes.

When the context of the discussion is soley based on how "you just don't understand black culture", I'll take a pass. The fact of the matter is that I do understand black culture and I don't particularly care for it as it exists today. That being the case, there is little incentive for me to mix and mingle with a crowd that I don't care for. The very same reason I don't attend Klan of Communist Party rallys.

Basically I don't feel compelled to atone for any guilt that may have fallen on the shoulders of my forebearers. And people that insist that I do just manage to piss me off. Why would I want to socialize with people that piss me off?

Bill Clinton attempted to have "town meeting forums" on race during his 1st term.
Later, they were ultimately canceled due to lack of interest,weren't they?

Please stop talking to yourself. People will think you are weird and not stable.

Holder is right that people (whites) don't want do discuss race (blacks) relations. White folk fall into three camps with respect to discussions of black/white relations (and that's what he's talking about - not black/Chinese relations):

1. Politically correct parrots who nod, agree, and feign outrage at the black man's plight - this group has no bearing on the discussion because they have no real opinion.

2. Those who do want to engage in a discussion, but as soon as they do the blacks and group 1 whites shout them down by calling them racist or that they, "just don't get it."

3. The rest of us that know its a no win situation so we just smile and go about our business letting groups 1 and 2 waste their time.

I am!

But

Holder is STILL a PARANOID ASSHOLE!

Talk about creative interpretation!

Where does he demand a discussion?

Where does he say that white people don't understand black culture?

Where does he ask you to atone for any guilt?

Remember how, back in July 2008, Obama jumped all over Phil Gramm for saying we were a nation of whiners?

What Holder said today is far worse. It is a slap in the face to our brave military, as it is to all civilians who have worked very hard to promote diversity in the workplace. It ignores all of the progress America has made in matters of race relations since the Civil Rights Movement.

What Mr. Holder said today is right on par with words from another one of Obama’s buddies, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. To me, calling America a “nation of cowards” is as bad as shouting “G-D America”.

Obama didn’t hesitate to pounce on Phil Gramm. It will be interesting to see if he says anything substantive in reaction to Mr. Holder. I will not, however, hold my breath on this. Obama has shown a predisposition to hanging around those who love to insult not only this country, but also its citizens.

I, for one, don’t need some political hack preaching to me about race relations. Adolph Holder can go F himself.

Just ruminating here…

300 million Americans.

12.7% [38.1 million] living below the poverty line.

12.8% [48 million]of the population Black.

80% of the population white.

7.3% of the population Asian, Hispanic, Native American or other. There is fuzziness in the numbers due to the dual listing of Hispanics…some Blacks can claim both…as can Native Americans, and Whites, and so forth…this official racial numerology just mucks things up terribly, really.

13% of the population committing 52.7% of all murders in America?

[Figures cited based on US Government Census and DoJ crime figures.]

IF indeed poverty is the major determinant of the commission of crime, as states the liberal mantra, why are not more non-Blacks out there killing everyone they encounter?

Or, are Blacks the only Americans living in poverty? Are there no poor Hispanics? Are there no Hispanic criminals/murderers? Are there truly no poor white Americans? No poor American Indians? Are Blacks really committing ALL the murders? Why are grocery stores not being robbed wholesale daily?

There is a very false assumption that poverty means one thus is forced to or has to choose to become a criminal.

Criminals in America are opportunistic, and not generally driven by economic status. The commission of a murder, for example, is a choice, not a necessity based on lack of income.

So, why then are so many Blacks seemingly committing all these murders, as compared to all the other identifiable segments of the population?

Maybe there are other reasons other than poverty?

Disregard for or contempt for the law? A lack of education? A desire to skip the hard work to get ahead? Opportunism? Perhaps in some segments of the population even a cultural imperative?

Unless one can examine on a case by case basis why a murder was committed, for example, and then, and only then, gather together all the data on causation of murder in America and extrapolate trends and outliers regarding the data on murder, then any blanket statement that poverty makes one more prone to murder (or engage in crime) is a lie.

One cannot address a real issue or problem if one’s start point is based on a lie.

Why are not the thousands of non-Blacks in Appalachia living below the poverty line out there killing everyone they encounter?

Why are not thousands and thousands of rural Non-Black Americans in poor counties in Ohio, Indiana, Alabama, Maryland and other states daily committing murder and other heinous crimes? Or poor Hispanics in the Southwest? Or American Indians?

Obama called for an honest conversation about race in America…but immediately when one attempts to do so, one finds oneself being labeled a racist, and the scope of the conversation is immediately limited, or shut down completely, by the restraints of political correctness.

As much as I differ with Dr. Bill Cosby (based on his politics) at least he is willing to get out there and try to discern why Blacks in many many parts of our nation are still living in poverty, are still perpetuating the stereotypes, are still more than willing to be involved in or condone crime, are more than willing to abandon their responsibilities as a male parent…and a lot more.

Over breakfast last week, while in DC, a recently-retired fairly senior FBI official [and lifelong friend] told me that a huge number of murders in America (he didn’t have the exact figures on him at the time) are committed within a mile or two of a Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard or Malcolm X Street…and this FBI official was born and raised in East St. Louis, Illinois, and he was visibly angry over this bit of crime trivia.

I disagree wholeheartedly with our new Attorney General.

For his “cowards” statement alone, he has disqualified himself from being able to address matters of law in this Nation with impartiality…and that does nothing to address real problems.

He is a political hack…a mouthpiece for the new month-old Administration, and not, by any standard, acting in the best interests of ALL America, nor the Constitution, in his role as the second most important law-enforcement official in our nation.

Wow! Do you actually expect those of us who are caucasian to believe that Holder is talking about everyone? We are constantly told by the Left and people like Holder that we are being racist if we even look at someone wrong. Blacks and minorities cannot be racist they tell us, only white people.

The reason “white” Americans do not bring up race is because we are accused of being racist if we do. We walk around on eggshells because of politicians like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Charlie Rangel.

As someone who is caucasian or “white”, I am quite frankly sick of all the race stuff. I am married to a half Mexican, half European, and live in an 80% Hispanic city, where the Hispanics are still calling themselves the minority, and I am a “majority”?!! Ha! I am the one who’s the minority here, but because of all the stupid PC laws etc in this Country, I am discriminated against in business and education because I am not Black, Asian or Hispanic, (I would have to meet other standards to get the female minority benefits - also stupid).

Why can’t we all just stop griping about race and live with each other as fellow humans, what a concept! Obviously not one that is going to be grasp by the current administration in spite of being elected by all colors of people.

And whale bile, ambergris, has higher value and smells better.

Why does Holder Hate America?

Why does he call us cowards?

Holder bemoans the fact that white people don't share a bud on 'Saturdays and Sundays' with other races. Or is it because racial minorities don't share their weekends with white people? WTF is that about!?! The shaming of White America pffffffftt to you Holder

Mr Bananaman Holder does not belong there as our AG!
