Eric Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, said recently that the United States was “a nation of cowards” on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues. I disagree and given his disconnect with reality I wonder if he gets out very much? What an ignorant thing for him to say about us!!!
No other nation on earth has done more to confront and condemn racism than America. Everywhere you turn, some city has a high school named Martin Luther King or we’re celebrating diversity in some fashion or it’s black history month and more. We’re so hyper-sensitive about not being racist that many of us are quick to rise to violence over even a perception of racism (Trayvon Martin case). Talk show hosts many of us watch like Oprah, Steve Harvey, Arsenio Hall or Montel Williams continue the race dialog every day in some form. We have virtual continuous national dialog about racism. We’re beat over the head about racial sensitivity, constantly. We get it, we understand the objectives, we’ve made remarkable improvement over the last 50 years and then a guy like Holder comes along and calls us cowards for not having candid discussions? I’m totally bewildered. Do you think he was just diverting attention away from his own failures?
Yeah, I read that race baiting nonsense from this corrupt dork. This is Democratic party boiler plate race card playing at it’s most common and ugly.
This is the guy, who Mark Steyn correctly identifies —
“… Eric Holder’s Department of Justice – that would be the same Department of Justice that supplies guns to Mexican drug gangs, and monitors the phone calls and emails of US journalists, and declines to investigate the IRS’ obstruction of justice, and prosecutes states that seek to verify the immigration status of people within their borders, etc, etc …”

Of course Holder’s remarks were to divert us away from Obama’s long list of failures and to further expand the division amongst us that this administration created.
Holder in that interview also said those who said they, “Wanted to take our country back,” was racist. I guess it was a racist remark against Condoleezza Rice when Hillary Clinton, Howard Deen and others said it during Bush’s term. Or is this just another typical liberal agenda spin, it only counts as a racist remark if Republicans say it.
News Busters:
‘Taking Back America’ Wasn’t Racist Until Liberals Stopped Saying It:
“So we have the standard: saying you want to take the country back is racist, because…well…I’m not really sure why. Let’s ask some liberals, shall we? After all, they were particularly fond of the phrase during the Bush administration.
In declaring his run for the presidency, Howard Dean told a crowd in Burlington, Vermont, “You have the power to take our county back!” A little more than half a year later, when Dean was ousted from the Democratic primary, he said the same thing once again. Nine days later, he again said “I’ll be doing everything that I can to make sure that John Kerry and John Edwards take this country back.”
In fact, Howard Dean was such a fan of the phrase, he even wrote two books incorporating it into their titles: “You Have the Power: How to Take Back Our Country and Restore Democracy in America” and “Winning Back America”. From whom? He doesn’t say. But clearly he’s a racist.
As is Hillary Clinton. In a stunning show of racial bigotry, Clinton opened her 2008 run for president by declaring the she would “take our country back.”
Chuck Schumer: also a racist. After the 2006 midterms, he stated: “We really care about taking our country back… So far, sooo good.”
Prominent Democratic strategists James Carville and Paul Begala are also racists. They coauthored a book in the run-up to the last presidential election titled “Take It Back: A Battle Plan for Democratic Victory.”

By golly you’re on to something guys. The Weekly Standard also took a look back and found those racist remarks started by Howad Dean:
It may have been the thing that lead to that rebel yell…after that he was pretty much gone, but h was ready to take the country back state by state!
Jack there is so much going on that points to racial acceptance and equality in America. The numbers of successful black people in every field is indicative that whatever racism might remain is minimal and exists in all races. That Shabazz guy for instance is definitely racist.
The thing is, the left lives for their causes and the causes never end.
You people need a dictionary.
Ever use one?
Holder said this five years ago, and you wrote an article about it then. Slow news day?
