Eric Holder: US still a nation of cowards on race
The Daily Caller ^ | 24 Jan 2014 | Neil Munro

Posted on 01/24/2014 7:42:02 AM PST by mandaladon

Attorney General Eric Holder reiterated his 2009 claim that Americans are a “nation of cowards” on racial issues on Thursday.

Holder’s effort to profile the entire nation as cowards came during a friendly interview with the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, where was asked if he would take back his 2009 remarks.

“I would not take that back,” he replied.

Attorney General Eric Holder reiterated his 2009 claim that Americans are a “nation of cowards” on racial issues on Thursday.

Holder’s effort to profile the entire nation as cowards came during a friendly interview with the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, where was asked if he would take back his 2009 remarks.

“I would not take that back,” he replied.

As usual, Holder did not brave questions from the audience or from other reporters in the room.

In 2009, Holder claimed that “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.”

“Certain subjects are off-limits and that to explore them risks at best embarrassment, and at worst, the questioning of one’s character,” he told his agency employees at an event celebrating Black History Month.

In the Miller Center interview, Holder acknowledged that there is less racism now that half a century ago.

“We’re certainly do a lot better than we did,” he said, but then outlined his agenda of using his legal clout to equalize outcomes for selected racial groups in the U.S. “There are disproportionately negative impacts that we see on people of color, on women,” he said.

During his tenure, Holder has greatly expanded the range of race-related lawsuits filed against companies, schools and governments.

M Kehoe [coward]: Holder, I don't dislike you because you are "black." I dislike you because you are "red," and have killed many people.

a “nation of cowards” on racial issues

That doesn't even make sense.

Holder is trying to incite racial tensions by making such nonsensical allegations.

I’m asserting that amongst the “black culture”, anti-white racism has been taught and engrained for generations,
but they were not emboldened enough to act on that racism
until Obama and Holder made it clear that they had the green light.

And I agree entirely.

Question is have they gotten too comfortable too early? Things are going to get very interesting.

The day when Holder and his America hating boss are out of office can’t come soon enough.

So sick of racist Obama and Holder. I just hope they actually leave office.

What the hell can we do to appease them?

We gave them:
Public education for all.
Free food at school.
Welfare.
Free legal aid
Affirmative Action up to the level of President of the U.S..
Job set-a-sides.
Special treatments.
and a whole host of things “Whitey” doesn’t get.

What the hell are we to do next? Actually stand behind them and operate their legs so that they can walk up to a business and at least attempt to get a job?

Move their lips so they can speak English instead of Rap or Ebonics so that an employer can actually understand what they are saying?

It goes on and on and on...............

The fact is that THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN and have absolutely no intention of trying to improve their standing in life since “Whitey” provides all that they need free....except Mad Dog 2020 and drugs.

All they have to get to get more (of everything) is simply play the RACISM card and it certainly produces a hell of a lot more than a credit card.

They are a lost cause. Why? Simply because they do not want to improve their lot and certainly don’t want to have to get up at and be at work each day. The neighborhood “bros” will look down upon them.

They have made their own beds and now they can lay in them to sleep. They hate “self-made” black men who have conformed to the civilized society (example: Allen West, Walter Williams, and a whole host of extremely good examples) who are true patriots and have advanced themselves to a point of envy by the normal citizen.

It’s time to let them live in their own feces and the garbage they rather surround themselves with than integrate into a civilized society.

I have grown very tired of this civil rights scam over the years and have no mercy on anyone who won’t help themselves.

A phrase from the Declaration comes to mind -

all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Well, YT, you're not face down in a mud puddle with their boot on your neck, bubbling your last bubbles.
So, of course they're still angry.

I wasn’t advocating one. I was implying that it must be what Eric the Red wants.

Both him and Barky have to know, that a flip of the Senate this November opens that possibility. Two years later, the mere possibility of a conservative president, House, and Senate should send chills to the RATs. They have to know this. They know their crimes.

For that reason, there will be an event (false flag?); because at their core: they do not want to go to jail. All Valerie Jarrett to that list.

However, it doesn’t make you wrong about the increasing likelihood of a race war.

The last time anything was done to roll back the leftist agenda was... 1994?

“It’s almost as if” the GOPe AGREE with that agenda and just give lip service to opposing it.

The field slave doesn’t dream of freedom,
he dreams of holding the whip over his own slaves.

Only a coward would ignore the fact that we’re a nation with racists in the administration. It hasn’t been this bad since the Wilson administration.

Thats the big question - what is our pain threshold.

Speaking for myself, I'm about there.

This was my impression. Seems thats what hes hinting at. Is that really what the negro community wants? Do they believe in the end theyll be better off?
