HOLDER: Whites Can’t Be Victims of Racial Injustice Because They Haven’t Suffered Enough

Johnathon Burns

March 2, 2011

Or, The Continuing Media Narrative of ‘Acceptable’ Racism.

Dr. King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Apparently, US Attorney General Eric Holder didn’t get the memo.

As reported and applauded by Politico, Holder announced Tuesday that he was fed up with listening to whining whites who claim the justice department deliberately blocks investigations of black on white racism. Predictably, the Establishment media sides with Holder.

“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate .. .to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people,” said Holder, who is black.

Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.

“To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, to say some Black Panther incident is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history,” Holder said with evident exasperation.”

So the obvious takeaway from this is that some racism is worse than others. Some racist injustice is worthy of prosecution, other racism is not. Apparently, whites simply haven’t suffered enough. They don’t deserve legal protection. So, any injustices committed against white people should be swept under the rug. It’s not worth Eric Holder’s time.

One might be shocked by the statements. One might even wonder why the media chooses not to attack Holder for his patently racist statements. After all, were a white man to suggest this, his career would be over in a hail of media machine-gun fire. Reporters would fall over themselves to attack him, and his family would be ruthlessly attacked in the community. His kids would have to stay home from school (assuming their teachers weren’t on strike, anyway), and he’d get hate mail and death threats for decades.

But the Establishment Media’s lack of moral indignation isn’t surprising. In America, it’s blasphemous to even suggest that whites could be victims of racial injustice.

Whites are the permanent “oppressors” in the mainstream media narrative, while all other races are the permanent “victims.” In fact, “white” and “oppressor” are essentially synonymous — meaning: whites are the bad guys. All whites have been lumped together and typecast in a bad reality TV show. Because whites as a group do not have clean hands, therefore, they are denied the right of seeking justice.

If that isn’t stereotyping, I don’t know what is.

The larger issue, of course, is that “whites as racists” constitutes the fundamental lens through which Holder views issues in America. During the healthcare debate, Holder likened opposition of Obamacare to opposition to civil rights. Not civil rights in the sense that, “all Americans share civil rights,” mind you, but “Civil Rights” as in the struggle for black legal equality in America during the 40’s-60’s. Translation: those who oppose Obamacare are racists. Such language is naked race-baiting and scapegoating. But Holder doesn’t care. Whites are the bad guy bogeymen, trotted out when it gets tough to pass legislation. And his recent comments reveal his paradigm: white Americans are generally racist and any time they oppose any Obama policy or “injustice” at the hands of a racist group, they’re either being racists or they’re simply not entitled to equal protection because they haven’t suffered as much as other groups.

Nobody is seeking to belittle the suffering of other people, here, but America seeks equality. This means equal protection under the law, not equality in historical racial suffering.

Holder’s statements are completely sadistic, and they betray his motives. He has a score to settle, and by his figure whites have a lot more suffering to endure before they have a right to expect justice from the “Justice Department.” Satisfying vendettas is for Mob Bosses, not the US Attorney General’s Office.

The Establishment media’s silence regarding his racist statements demonstrates agreement and approval. Such hypocrisy. Such shame. Such racism.

“What is interesting is that this is easily the explanation for WHY he has not prosecuted the Black Panthers for voter intimidation. He is a racist, for NOT enforcing the laws of this nation.”

I have little doubt he is reluctant to prosecute the panthers due to race.

I agree. He’s crying out for it.

Plus, “his” people”? He’s so light skinned it’s obvious he has white ancestors.

Every time Holder opens his racist mouth, I am reminded that I am not allowed to refer to HIM as a nigger.

That’s probably a good thing, as I wouldn’t want to inadvertently offend God fearing, honest, patriotic, non-racist, country loving, all around good folks of ANY color.

For his racism alone, Holder should be fired. He won’t be, because Obama hates Whites just as much as Holder does.

I think MLK would be very disappointed in Holder, Obama and the rest of these Black racists.

“Holder is just not qualified to be in the position he is in.”

I strongly doubt that he would qualify to clean out portapotties either since he doesn’t know $h!^^ from shinola.

I pray that a future administration brings this racist communist thug to justice and puts him behind bars.

Equal justice for all is just a bunch of words to Holder. For him it's above equal justice for "his people." His words scream of inequality favoritism.

It seems to me that he needs to update himself to this century - it’s not about any suffering way back, it’s suffering now - assuming that there is any and having two thugs stand outside a voting area is suffering for white as just the opposite would be suffering for blacks (he would be on that like flies on poop). We need to remember history and keep it in mind but not re-live it every day. It’s gone with the wind.

His family is from Barbados.>>>>>

Holder’s wife is also the offspring of Barbados immigrants. Holder has no standing to complain about American slavery and reparations because his people lived in Barbados. He could go the UK and complain about past slavery. But Holder and his wife aren’t very black anyway. More like half same as Hussein Obama

“When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans. . .” —HOLDER

[In Chicago,(1966) (Ralph) Abernathy later wrote that they received a worse reception than they had in the South. Their marches were met by thrown bottles and screaming throngs, and they were truly afraid of starting a riot. King’s beliefs militated against his staging a violent event, and he negotiated an agreement with Mayor Richard J. Daley to cancel a march in order to avoid the violence that he feared would result from the demonstration.]

I am not the least upset by this...

I am thrilled that we have finally had someone willing to let is slip what we ALL know is true...

it not about equality-— it is about revenge..

According to him whites are due some additional injustices and only when they are enslaved is the score settled.

What would you call it when the fruits of our labors are forcibly extracted to be given to others, without compensation? (Hint: It ain't freedom!)
