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.
Autherine J. Lucy, the University’s first black student, attended her first class on February 3, 1956. Holder’s SIL was much later.
This entire Administration is about nothing more than payback and revenge. Period.
So, exactly when did blacks become victims? What is the time frame during which they didn’t suffer enough... to when they did? Is Holder saying that the first boatload of slaves (sold by black-arab-ancestors of Zero, BTW) were not victims in the boat? In their first few months working for nothing in the cotton fields? When, exactly? Slippery slope and all...
Perhaps the racist HOLDER should watch some tapes of Martin Luther King and see what he would say about denying justice to ANYONE.
“A right delayed is a right denied. “
“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
His family is from Barbados. They thought well enough of this country to immigrate here of their own free will. But HIS PEOPLE are not Americans, or Barbadian-Americans, they are black people.
You are right. The man is a total racist. He thinks his job is to posture about injustices that happened decades ago, and not to address injustices that are happening now because the only injustice that matters must fit the black victim, white villain template.
Hasn’t he, by his own words, violated his oath of office? Oh, stupid me. Can’t hold politicians to their actual sworn oaths anymore, can we?
Notice my tag line.
So the words, “equal protection under the law” mean nothing to Holder or the administration?
Don’t answer. Rhetorical question.
Will Eric Holder take the title away from Ramsay Clark as “Worst Attorney General Ever”?
Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, oh nevermind.
This is real? Then this is sad. I guess Holder and his Kenyan boss won’t prosecute until an equal number of “whitey honkies” are lynched. Then it’ll be even.
And since the muslims and Hispanics haven’t been through what he blacks went through will he not prosecute voter descrimation against them either?
Folks, the really scary thing is half or more than half of the people in this country think obama and his friends are good for America.
“HOLDER: Whites Can’t Be Victims of Racial Injustice Because They Haven’t Suffered Enough”
This is a grossly misleading headline and the OP should be ashamed of behaving like a lib. Read the damn story to see what was ACTUALLY said and the context. It is nothing like the headline. Posting false and inflammatory headlines like this has been happening all too often recently and people assume it is the truth. Even though Holder is an incompetent and divisive boob such behavior should be strongly discouraged.
There went my blood pressure for today.
Holder is a member of the spike lee school of racism.
It's a couple of logical steps to get to this conclusion, but Holder never actually said this.
If he did, I would expect the Republicans to impeach or defund or SOMEthing, because that would be pretty-much BITS-time.
Oh, but they do. Look at the Obama/DOJ decision not to defend the DOMA because they believe it is unconstitutional.
FIRE THIS RACIST NOW~!
If the manner of lynching is immaterial then I think we've long passed that point.
What does Holder have to say about the thousands of black slave owners in the south? What about the black slave breeders who sold their own children into slavery?
