U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder speaks on stage during the annual meeting of the American Bar Association in San Francisco, California August 12, 2013
In a rare move, Attorney General Eric Holder took direct aim at U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts on issues of race during a commencement speech Saturday.
"Chief Justice John Roberts has argued that the path to ending racial discrimination is to give less consideration to the issue of race altogether. This presupposes that racial discrimination is at a sufficiently low ebb that it doesnt need to be actively confronted," Holder said, speaking at the historically black Morgan State University. "In its most obvious forms, it might be. But discrimination does not always come in the form of a hateful epithet or a Jim Crow-like statute. And so we must continue to take account of racial inequality, especially in its less obvious forms, and actively discuss ways to combat it."
Holder was referring to the Bush-appointed justice's famous quote from a 2007 ruling: "The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."
The attorney general referenced the Supreme Court's recent decision upholding Michigan's ban on race-conscious admissions policies in public education or employment, in which Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a scathing dissent against the 6-2 opinion and also criticized the frequently-quoted line from Roberts.

Some people cannot tell the difference between racial and cultural discrimination.
What’s he going to say? “Yeah, Roberts is right...discrimination is wrong whether it’s against blacks, whites, or anybody...let’s not discriminate.” He’s gotta tell all the people, the takers, who put him and Obama there that it’s “social justice” to grab things from the producers and “redistribute” the goodies to the right sort of people. Holder’s people that is.
Speaker at white privilege conference promotes marxism to defeat racism.
We are at a very difficult point for the black populist politician. Their rhetoric is becoming less effective in the non black communities while prompting increased interracial violence.
The pill that is hard for them to swallow is that the highly segregated inner city neighborhoods most of them depend on for political power have collapsed into hip hop gangster ghettos where education, families and employment are largely absent. They are speaking their own language, organizing into their own gangs and are dependent on drugs for “employment”. There are still people in these neighborhoods who see the problems but they are overwhelmed and shamed by their neighbors and leaders for more than token support. The salvation of these neighborhoods must come from, first, a recognition of the problem and, second, the will to change things.
Instead a large majority are buying into the primarily white progressive concepts of white privilege and income equalization.
Holder puts an end to all that Content of Character stuff.
Obsessed! Cannot stop talking about race and differences and so-called injustice thereof. You could give him everything he wants to rectify his hell-bent desire for social justice and it will not be enough, ever.
This is a puppet show to make us think they are enemies.
Watch for the expanded use of the “disparate impact” standard in government efforts to identify and punish those deemed to have discrimminated on the basis of race. They are applying it to the banking industry. They can nail just about anyone they want to with this standard.
Make no mistake, Holder one of many that feels as he does.
They don’t hate ‘racism’, they hate you.
On one hand Holder calls people “cowards” for avoiding discussing race.
On the other he dismissively attacks those who do discuss race, just from a different perspective/opinion than his.
I’d say the guy is a complete moron for not understand that his actions in the second part drive the actions he decries in the first part. However, he’s not a moron and is certainly aware of that. He just doesn’t care because he knows he’ll never be called out on/for it.
That map is weird. I think the black population in Michigan’s UP is pretty small.
Obviously we need to start putting people in train cars and shipping them from green areas over to the not so green areas...
You know by “utilizing” the force of the almighty federal government...
(sarc)
Liberals Love to “preserve the racial enclaves inside of communties because it shows multiculturalism... But we have racial enclaves which MUST be dispersed in order to become Multicultural, which would be destroyign those vaunted rascaisl encklaves which would be racist.....”
Liberalism is indeed a mental disorder....
How many American Indians work for Holder? How many go to school with Obama’s children? Let’s put the endless pity party screws to Holder and ‘his’ people for a while and see how charmed they are...
“They’re counting on the GOP dropping the matter when the democrats are out of power “
But you know they will. Like the Dims take a break on trying to repeal the 22nd amendment when the GOP is in power.
The GOP got a contempt citation against Holder but it was `form over substance,’ like impeaching Clinton. They don’t care about holding Dems accountable for their crimes.
And the GOP-e doesn’t really care about IRS persecution of conservatives, or for that matter, gaining power, as long as their lobbyists can satisfy their real constituents: the US Chamber of Commerce, service unions and other NGOs.They know who butters their bread since conservatives stopped sending RINOs (like Boehner, McConnell and the rest of that crowd) campaign contributions because they aren’t in our corner.
This does not bode well for Holder. Rare are the individuals who get into a fight with the Supreme Court and win.
It will be highly entertaining when some of Holder’s extra-legal activities make it before the court next time. Though right now it is a bit much to hope that he ends up wearing prison pajamas, if Obama leaves office without giving him a pardon, it enters the realm of possibility.
Excellent points, you really nailed it. Thx!
I’m not sure the sarc tag was necessary. They’re already laying the groundwork, prepping for, forced “diversification” of neighborhoods.
There have been several threads on it the last 6-8 months or so. Cant remember which ones, tho.
I’m going to start asking a simple question to all of these race pimps... “Can you define any set of conditions where you would no longer see racism in every action, inaction, equality, or inequality?”
Actually, the scenario you present is entirely workable.
High birthrates in the racial/ethnic enclaves permit both the maintenance of their strength AND the “diversification” of areas outside the enclaves.
There’s even a term for it: colonization.
The question is, will the emigrants from the enclaves assimilate culturally into the colonized areas, or will they demand that the colonized areas conform to the culture they bring with them? And if there is friction/confrontation over it, what is the outcome?
Fascinating, from a sociological perspective. Those actually involved (on both sides of the equation) will probably not find it so fascinating tho.
