Some black journalists sympathetic to Attorney General Eric Holder’s political plight have been underwhelmed with the support being provided to him by the White House and leaders within the black community.

Holder has been under fire for his handling of multiple controversies, including the Operation Fast and Furious scandal and the investigation into whether Obama administration officials were complicit in the recent spate of intelligence leaks.

On Sunday’s airing of TVOne’s “Washington Watch with Roland Martin” — a show that describes itself as the “voice to the newsmakers, politicians, community leaders, and celebrities that offer perspective from the African American point of view” — several black journalists questioned the support shown by the Obama administration and black leaders for Holder.

Forty percent black youth unemployment and a lot of failed promises. Good thing Eric Holder is around to take the fall.

Is there anything these jokers don’t see through a Black/White lens?

The tribal mentality is a marvel to behold.

Does anyone really expect the majority of black “journalists” to do anything different than to defend the indefensible?

They are all clones of Juan Williams ,the great defender of Obama and anything black.

Before Obama our country was doing fairly well toward peace between the races. Today Obama has stirred racial strife among Black , White , and Hispanic, to a white hot degree.

His administration has set back racial relations 30 years.

So 0bama "owes it to a bruthah?" If Holder were white it would be OK that 0bieWon and "black leaders" didn't support him? The only real racism left in this country is what these "black leaders" claw out of the woodwork on a daily basis then jump up and down and hoot and holler about as they point hysterically at it.

The journos may be underwhelmed, but are they surprised? This guy avoids anything at all that even smells radioactive.

Preparing the underside of the bus to receive Holder.

The black code, “Don’t turn in another black”. This is how you all sink together.

Too bad Nixon didn’t get a black Attorney General - - with today’s ‘standards’ he might have gotten away with Watergate...
