I do not like that "we" language. You assume that all of Free Republic is white, which is not the case.
There can be speculation on what anyone's true motives are. For me, it pretty much resolves back to content of character.
I recognize in myself the ability and tendency to make excuses for myself. I cannot say, with any degree of certainty, that if I were a black man, I would not rely on my color to excuse my own failings.
I hope and pray that I would not. I would hope that my parents had instilled in me the precepts of character that form a man fit to live in a free society. At the top of the list is taking responsibility for my own actions and refusing to allow others to define who I am.

First off, sorry if it sounded like I thought all of FR is white; I really don’t care about skin color, Holder is obsessed with it though. I totally agree with your sentiments. This administration not only doesn’t seem to care about character; but seems to be a war with it.
