Attorney General Holder coins America "A Nation of Cowards"
The Daily Change ^ | 2192009 | TDC

Posted on 02/19/2009 9:16:15 AM PST by TheDailyChange

Today Eric Holder, the nation’s first Black attorney general, gave a speech to allegedly commemorate Black History Month. Mr. Holder divisively stated, “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.” This statement and the ones that followed place an inappropriately high focus on race and “racial issues” rather than demonstrating an aim to promote national unity during a most charged and unstable time in our nation’s history when daily survival and the future of American generations to come is at stake. Both Eric Holder and Robert Reich, two top level Obama cabinet members, have both already illustrated their racially motivated agendas rather than serving as proponents of American solidarity.

And what Americans fear is being sued by people like Eric Holder, Duval Patrick, Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and other poverty pimps for saying or doing something that those individuals will perceive as being racist. People are even afraid to say, “Nonsense!” when one of the poverty pimps screams, “RAY-ZIST!”

"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.

Eric Holder is a pathetic and divisive individual who lacks credibility. He is also at best extremely stupid. This can be seen from his words and actions. 9/11 could have been prevented if not for his unbelievable stupidity if not worse. Even though his role in the Mark Rich scandal is well known, Obama chose him and the Senate approved.

"Even when people mix at the workplace or afterwork social events, Holder argued, many Americans in their free time are still segregated inside what he called "race-protected cocoons."

Obviously not Mr. Holder. Have you bothered to check on how many racially-mixed children there are in this country?

“Obviously not Mr. Holder. Have you bothered to check on how many racially-mixed children there are in this country?”

Holder is not interested in facts—the fact that his own boss and he himself are clearly the products of racial mixing does not deter him at all from his attempts to bully.

Any “high yellow” who chose to identify exclusively as black has no business talking about “race-protected cocoons.”

He seems to be speaking double speak.
Is he the coward?
Is he saying self segregation on the weekends is a bad thing?
If so, is it something that needs addressing through government?
If so, what does he propose?

Why doesn’t he just spit it out?
What is to be done?

Where’s the ‘candid’ discussion on his part?
