Holder: US is nation of cowards on racial matters

Eric Holder needs to resign or be removed from his post.

HEll no, leave him there, better yet, push his ideas, get behind your AG Mr. Obama... show America what you really believe in.

Don't tell me Obama didn't know Holder believed in such, nor try to tell me he doesn't support it.
 
Eric Holder, have you met Dr. James Watson? He tried to talk honestly about race and lots of your fellow travelers vilified him. He wasn't a coward. You really should direct your energy at reforming the attitudes of the race warriors in your own ranks before you call Americans cowards. Every scientist learned a very important lesson at Dr. Watson's expense - don't talk honestly about race if you wish to preserve your career.

if only Eric Holder read these forums.
River, you are gonna make 'em cry.
 
I would love to see a panel on race.
Three 3-hour sessions in one day.

We would send Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Larry Elder, Rev. Peterson, Alan Keyes, and Michael Steele.

The left could pick from their all-star lineup of race pimps.

If we aren't talking enough... then let's talk, and first start from inside "the community" that has made an endless stink about race and had the AG spewing his drivel about Americans being "cowards". Even though it is their party that has the long and cold record of enslaving people and doesn't recognize their past ways. Whether it's blacks or Japanese...

Let's get it on record for all to see.
Let's have a discussion and run it in prime time on some major network.

Listen I too am tired of some people using the "racist" painting on every comment you make of a person of colour. I am also tired of the "anti-semitic" painting by people because you are critical of Israel.

But that does not change the fact that racism does exist in the US and around the world, and in the US it is often pushed under the rug, especially by the Republican party. On the flip side, yes the Democrats use the "racist" painting far too often, which is just as bad and does not help. Because when there is actually a racist episode, the right can just dismiss it as another lefty hyperhole on the issue. The "monkey" song is a great example. Yes calling a black man a monkey is racist, but the right were given a free pass somewhat by saying it was a joke.

So yes the US is a nation of cowards when it comes to racial matters. So is Europe, and most nations around the world. They often deny the fact that race matters and some people exploit race for their own political gain and others refuse to combat it and even worse, deal with it. I am glad that the US is dealing and discussing the problem at least in some circles, that is often more than we are doing over here, but it does not change the fact that race matters in the US.

Totally agree.

Repubs just don't care or are hyper careful about it usually, at least in my opinion.

The monkey song was in bad taste I'm sure but if you make a big stink about it, then you give it power.

No, we are not a nation of cowards nor is Europe.

Race doesn't matter it is the culture of certain races.

You start out even-handed, but then you seem to have forgotten to finish the second part of your statement, where you acknowledge that plenty of people who are critical of Israel are so because they're anti-Semitic, that it's swept under the rug in Europe, especially by liberals, etc.

I don't know about some far-out groups but most Europeans, Aussies and such are more critical of Israel certainly but most of this has nothing to do with anti-semiticism. In fact I'd go as far to suggest it is simply that a lot of Americans suspend ciritcism of Israel more than they would other nations so to speak.

Pete:

Your first quote showed a glimmer of hope, but then you reveal you are full of it.
It's just words... as we read on... then we realize you do not believe what you wrote.
But why would that surprise. You're a socialist and words don't mean Diddly.

But that does not change the fact that racism does exist in the US and around the world, and in the US it is often pushed under the rug, especially by the Republican party.
You're disgusting.
Why especially republicans?
We have always aimed for equality under the law.
Always.

Republicans are not race pimps. It is not our history.
Ours is... a pursuit and defense of FREEDOM, and creating One America, not a hyphenated America. African-American... Mexican-American... Gay-American... That landscape is owned, paid for, and invested heavily in by the Democrat Party.

Republicans don't buy into the Balkanized bull**** the Democrat party has been pulling on the country to make up for their 150 years of racial intolerance. The Democrats long PERFECT history of Slave embracing ways.

We Republicans love nothing more than to rid society of this race baiting, race pimping BS.
But the Leftists like you NEVER lets it go.
They cannot.
They cannot afford to because losing their monopoly would mean disaster.
So they keep their constituents dependent on government and then blame Republicans when they want to reduce the influence of government in our lives.

Listen to this RACE PIMP; Representative Cyburn (D-SC)
“The governor of Louisiana expressed opposition. Has the highest African-American population in the country. Governor of Mississippi expressed opposition. The governor of Texas, and the governor of South Carolina. These four governor’s represent states that are in the black belt. I was insulted by that,” Clyburn said. “All of this was a slap in the face of African-Americans.

He reveal the mentality of the race baiting Democrat party.
They see this not as "stimulus" but as a payback to the black community.
And if the Governors do not take it... They are "Racist".

The Democrats, when they see a minority has left the DEMOCRAT PLANTATION... they try to DESTROY blacks and other minorities.
Look at what happened to Justice Thomas. Gonzales.

Minorities in the Republican party are not celebrated by the left or the media.
They are shunned. Mocked. Ridiculed. Or ignored.
Destroyed if possible.

Did you read Clarence Thomas' book?
You should.
He singles out you and your kind of gutless, guilt filled zombies as the AIDS virus of race relations.
Not quite in those words... I thought I'd sum up the sentiment.

So yes the US is a nation of cowards when it comes to racial matters.
You are sick. Just as sick as Holder, Obama, Obama's wife, Wright, Pfleger, Meeks, Jackson, Ayers, Farrakhan and Sharpton.

This nation has been in one constant discussion about race my entire lifetime. To claim otherwise is a flat out lie, and my guess is it has to do with Politics as Usual for the left. They're trying to put out the fire (my ass) with tanker trucks of gasoline dribbling their elixir at just the right pace so the fires become infernos.

That's how the Democrats like it and the country. Hot, irritated, divisive... a little like Hitler used the Jews as scapegoats.

PeteEU, a few questions for you:

True or False, there is a serving Us Senator that once was the Grand Dragon of the KKK (or whatever they call it)?

If so, which party is he in?

One party supports programs which give benefits to people based on having the right skin color, and denies them to those with the wrong skin color. Is this racist in your mind?
(remember, Martin Luther King Jr's famous speech? I have a dream, that one a man will be judged not by the color of his skin, but on the merit of his character.)

Which Party freed the slaves?

Which Party voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1965?

Please answer them. I'd love to hear your answers.

And more recently which party was David Duke in?

Did David Duke get support from the party... noooo Note we have Michael Steele (psst, he's BLACK) and Mr. Duke is pissed about that...

Which party is a former kkk grand pubah still in?


Oh and


Duke ran as a Democrat for the Louisiana Senate in 1975. In 1988, he ran in the Democratic presidential primaries. After a poor showing, he appeared on many state ballots in the general election as the nominee of the Populist Party. He received just 47,047 votes.

What party indeed?

Apparently Smith isn’t aware that David Duke began his political career as a Democrat, running for the Louisiana Senate in 1975, and in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988. Smith could just as accurately have described Duke as belonging to the “racist fringe” of the Democratic Party—but this doesn’t fit into his ideological bias.

Little Green Footballs - David Duke - A Racist 'Republican'?
I know nobody that accepts David Duke as a Republican.
The moron has ZERO platform or sway with the party.

To drive the point home, the Republican Leadership Council has strongly denounced Duke.
Washington, DC — Mark Miller, Executive Director of the Republican Leadership Council (RLC), today applauded RNC Chairman Jim Nicholson for his swift denunciation of David Duke and called on other Republicans to publicly oppose the candidacy of the former Klansman and neo-Nazi sympathizer.

“Republicans of every ideological persuasion can agree that David Duke’s latest foray into GOP electoral politics must be opposed, and his candidacy for the House of Representatives denied legitimacy,” said Miller. “We applaud RNC Chairman Nicholson’s quick opposition to Duke’s divisive agenda, and we call on other conservative leaders and groups to state for the record their opposition to his candidacy.”
The Democrats put Sen. Byrd of KKK fame in a leadership position.
Sen. Ernst Hollins (D-SC) had a loose tongue about race by any measure.
The Kennedy's... royalty to their party and Euro socialists has been dealt with earlier in this thred.
President Johnston has an interesting record of questionable race statements.
Jesse Jackson, who ran for President is the official Castrator of Blacks in the Democrat Party.
Rev. Wright cannot be denounced vociferously by a presidential nominee for his Anti-American and race based tirades.
Sharpton, a Democrat candidate for the presidency is the Model Race Baitor.

No denunciation from the Leftists of these folks... instead they are found at the highest rungs of the Democrat Party and Machine... and are defended.

The Democrats defended Rev. Wright.
Obama did too.
Most Americans realized after 2 weeks of listening to this guy he was poison.
Obama sat there and inhaled this toxic waste for 20-years... before dumping the fool.
If he did not run for President, he would be in the pews at Trinity United Church tomorrow with his wife and kids, inhaling the crap spewed by The Man about Whitey and the KKK of A.

But when some clown tries to associate himself with the Republican party AND WE REJECT HIM OPENLY AND REPEATEDLY the Leftists jump up and down with glee and point to him as our racist.
Democrat Senators organized the record Senate filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Included among the organizers were several prominent and well known liberal Democrat standard bearers including:

- Robert Byrd, current senator from West Virginia
- J. William Fulbright, Arkansas senator and political mentor of Bill Clinton
- Albert Gore Sr., Tennessee senator, father and political mentor of Al Gore. Gore Jr. has been known to lie about his father's opposition to the Civil Rights Act.
- Sam Ervin, North Carolina senator of Watergate hearings fame
- Richard Russell, famed Georgia senator and later President Pro Tempore

The complete list of the 21 Democrats who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes Senators:

- Hill and Sparkman of Alabama
- Fulbright and McClellan of Arkansas
- Holland and Smathers of Florida
- Russell and Talmadge of Georgia
- Ellender and Long of Louisiana
- Eastland and Stennis of Mississippi
- Ervin and Jordan of North Carolina
- Johnston and Thurmond of South Carolina
- Gore Sr. and Walters of Tennessee
- H. Byrd and Robertson of Virginia
- R. Byrd of West Virginia

Which Party freed the slaves?
Because Abraham made a great P.R. move does not deem the Republican party as the pure-party in any sense.
Look up 1818 constitution of Connecticut and you will see that the Republican party was just as unaccepting of the nature of black people as the Dixiecrats.

Which Party voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1965?
Both parties voted. However the Dixiecrats decided to filibuster it, as a Goldwater would agree with, because it was firm belief that the government should get it's hands out of social life.
However, a Democrat-Northern signed the bill. It was further enforced by a Southern-Democrat (not dixiecrat, mind you) named Lyndon B. Johnson.
 
AE,

you're missing the point, PeteEU keeps claiming the Republicans as being terrible, compelte Racist from start to finish, I'm merely enlightenning him. That's why I said PETEEU, not a general question aimed at others. Man.

Ah.

Well, Pete EU I'll give you the quick answer:

America was built on racism, and whether or not one thinks it was most prevalent in the Republican or Democratic party is silly at best. You might do better to look at region.

Strom Thurmond is a great example. He said this in 1948;
Strom said:
I wanna tell you, ladies and gentlemen, that there's not enough troops in the army to force the Southern people to break down segregation and admit the nigger race into our theaters, into our swimming pools, into our homes, and into our churches.

He started a Dixiecrat who ran a racist platform and was quite unbeatable in the Southern states. However, he died a Republican.
Does that make Party as important as geographical location (not a chance in hell)?
It was hip to run in the south with racist view points. It is now hip to run in the south with a Jesus bobble-head on your shoulder. It is now hip in Israel to run with a hawkish view on Iran. It was hip to run in the Republic of Ireland on a platform against British influence.
 
America wasn't built on Racism... the hells do you come up with such a goofy idea as that?
 
This is a White Man's Government! - Horatio Seymour 1868 Democratic Presidential Candidate


In the meantime, the Republicans had already been seating blacks at thier caucuses....




but who cares? the only thing this shows, is Obama has not moved as far from racists like wright and holden as we all assumed.
 
America wasn't built on Racism... the hells do you come up with such a goofy idea as that?

Tell me, how owning a slave is not being racist?
Tell me, why there was a gap in-between the Emancipation and the plausibility of a Black President?

I'm sorry, but the idea that certain people (because they look different than us) should tend my fields without compensation, and that it was their duty on Earth to tend my fields, and that it was my responsibility to domesticate these uncivilized people, and that I can take whatever sexual intimacies that I wish..... how is that not racism?
 
Tell me, how owning a slave is not being racist?

I don't judge the past through today's values, I look at the past for what it was. Africans, "savages" were considered inferior, and slave labor had been going on for thousands of years. It wasn't racist... there were white slaves too ya know. Mostly indentured-servants, but that's not the point. The era
was different, different values.

Tell me how Affirmative Action isn't racist.. and that's government sponsored.

Tell me, why there was a gap in-between the Emancipation and the plausibility of a Black President?
Because the right candidate hadn't come along? Really, Before Obama how many blacks had actually run for office?

By our standards it is, by theirs.. it wasn't so much racism as how the world was.

I knew "affirmative action" was going to bite us "whiteys" in the butt. :p

Yeah different, even though there were abolitionists throughout the world, and in America? Slavery did not become unethical as soon as the emancipation broke-out

I think it is horrible legislation with a stupid intent, but I don't think it is racist.

"right" candidate? What does that mean? That blacks are politically inferior? That it "just wasn't the right time"?

By our standards it is, by theirs.. it wasn't so much racism as how the world was.

Are you ready to apply that to Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia?
You either apply the idea of relativity to everything, or nothing at all
