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.
As said in the above posts Holder needs to resign. It is equal justice for all and not “my people”. He has no business being the head of DOJ.
Sure they are. It usually goes by the name of Affirmitive Action.
This ahole is a racist supreme, but because he’s black its OK.
This entire administration sickens me beyond belief.
1. a person being beaten to a pulp by Blacks because he is White is not a victim of racism
2. a White person who has higher qualifications and still can’t obtain a job over a less qualified Black candidate, cannot be the victim of racism
3. a White person who can’t get into a university although he has a higher GPA and a better ability to pay the fees than the Black person who gets the slot, is not a victim of racism
4. a White person who is accused of being a racist for saying the same thing about a Black, but the Black person is not accused of it when they say it about Whites, is not a victim of racism
5. a more qualified White person does not get votes, because it will be a historic event if the less qualified Black person gets in and tries to destroy our nation, but this is not racist in nature
6. a government official says a person of one race cannot be a victim of racism
Anybody ever see Eric Holder and Oprah’s Stedman in the same room together?
Hmmmm.......:)
So who exactly does he think the “me” in “don’t tread on me” is? Were the Jews murdered during WWII white? Were the millions of Russians, Ukrainians, Polish that were put in Stalin’s Gulags white?
What the heck is this guy talking about?
Many of “my people” died or were permanently injured so that “your people” could have the chance of getting those rights...you racist bastard.
I hate racism and racists. Period. Now, we have the Nation’s highest law enforcer condoning it because he, himself, is, by his own words, a racist.
You don’t have to have suffered injustice to be protected by the law.
This man, and the others who think like him, do not belong in the Justice Department.
You can’t trust Democrats, because they really believe this kind of claptrap. Laws are laws. Regardless of your status in society, they are intended to protect everybody.
Please, let me suffer like Holder and the usurper have all their rich boy lives.
>What’s wrong with this guy?
Whats right with him?? Anything?
Just flipping across the calendar pages... Now what month is White History Month?
He does true racism injustice and makes it into a joke.
Monumentally, suicidally stupid.
..... another question worth asking - what moron appointed this intellectual incompetent as Attorney General???
I alone have twenty three ancestors who fought in the American Revolution, to gain freedom against oppression. Some died, some were injured and their families were forever changed. Does this qualify as suffering?
Message to Holder: Get a clue! You aren’t doing anything but great and unforgiveable damage to.. “your people.”
Oh yeah, they were all white.
