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.
Actually in today's class warfare & race baiting by especially blacks in Amerika, I think that MLK would be right on board with Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Eric Holder and especially the magic negro commie pig 0dumbo. MLK wasn't that highly principled (white prostitutes, communist connections) and I have no doubt he would toe socialist-marxist-leftist demoRAT party line of today. Freedom marchers in the early 1960's are far different from the pampered, affirmative action, welfare state minority blacks of today, aided & abetted by hard core racists such as 0dumbo, Holder, Sharpton & Jackson.
See tagline.
He dont read books unless they have the word “MAO” on it.
It is like they want a race war or something.
What a Piece of sh*t this man is... Racist jackass.
Thank you, Mr. Holder, for making me remember who I am.
I’m an American. You, clearly, are not.
One more black democrat race-baiting poverty pimp.
I guess to him that $4 trillion already paid to welfare hasn’t been enough.
And white JEWS???
Oh no, just you and “your people”, huh Holder?
I am so sick of this attitude, I see it all the time at work..yeesh. I guess the whites that were killed in Mississipi during civil rights marches, etc. don’t count.
What a piece of crap this guy is...Dear Leader Holder gets to decide who has suffered and how much. GTH!!
We never hear from blacks about punishing the blacks in Africa that sold them into white slavery.
I want to thank all you ignorant, guilt-ridden libs for foisting upon us this piece of racist tripe who can do no better than spew forth his racist tripe. This arrogant punk is just another shining example of affirmative action in action.
Look at the demographics of the USA.
It’s not your grand-dad’s America anymore and NEVER will be again. The ethnic groups that have CAIR, Mecha, etc. aren’t going to one day wake up and shut down their groups. Never gonna happen. They’ll grow in power as their population swells, as states like Texas come under their fold.
It’s time to start looking out for our own group because nobody else is. Nobody buys into this melting pot, kumbaya stuff except stupid whitey. I have kids, I want somebody looking out for my kids.
Mine too. : ) A great many people have suffered in this country besides blacks. Does he think the colonists came to this country on luxury ships? It seems, Holder has tunnel vision. I’m sure he doesn’t refer to Justice Thomas or Col. West.
And still sell slaves TODAY!!
So, let’s see a list of YOUR suffering, Holder.
Let’s see a list of YOUR suffering, obama.
I betcha I know some white folks (MY people) that have suffered a lot more than you two wusses combined.
So we have unequal justice under the law now.... Dr. Martin Luther King is certainly turning over in his grave.
Personally I’d say the money quote was right up front: “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.”
Put fed up with listening to “whining whites” and “my people” into the context of everything else he has espoused and done, and the headline used is by no means a stretch. Poetic license? Sure, I’ll buy that. But if the bigotry fits...
Just to put thing in proper perspective, Mr. Holder, think about those first Americans, who weren't ‘your people’, who fought and died to birth this nation and win the freedoms that you now enjoy. Think about how hard they fought to establish a nation that has, in a very short period of time historically, gone from legal slavery to electing a black man president. You have no right, no right whatsoever to make the b.s. statement you made. Seems to me that everything that you think you know about civil rights and justice is wrong. Wake up, and quit being a racist. It's unbecoming.
For Holder it’s not about justice; it’s about retribution.
