Eric Holder has some serious audacity:
The Right-Wing Underground: Obama's Attorney General Trashes Americans as "Cowards"
The question is: Is it Americans or Democrats who need to man-up and stop being cowards on race?
[I don't know why the poll didn't post, but just post your answers without it]
Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, but "we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race."
Holder: US is nation of cowards on racial mattersWASHINGTON (AP) - Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing unresolved racial issues.
In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," said Holder, nation's first black attorney general.
He told Justice Department employees they have a special responsibility to advance racial understanding.
Why do we even need to mention race anymore? Whatever happened to content and not outside appearance. Stuff like this makes me want to kick Holder in the head.

Now all that was just complete crap, the end part is the best though, the part that had a white man said this...
Yes that is the job of the JD... to enforce racial understanding....
Seriously this right wing underground is just as legitimate as listening to Osama bin Laden talk about ethics.
I think he's linking this site because it has ads for his book.
Why should it even be an issue? Why is race something that needs to be discussed at all? I suppose every time I converse with Hatuey I'll be sure to remind him of his blackness and how it informs the issues we are discussing.
Wow. Amazing, you are American and you called someone black instead of AFRICAN-American.
:shock:
It's not about fear. Not talking to blacks about race is usually about avoiding an oversensitive jackass too absorbed in his own paranoid bigotry and professional victimhood to carry on an adult conversation. It's about not wanting to be dragged into another childish pity-party thrown by the one person in the room who's already had everything handed to them (jobs, education, etc.) at the expense of everyone who actually earned it and was more qualified, by racist Democrat policies that shove unfair preferential treatment down our throats at every turn.
You comment on my post but youd di not mention anything about my awesome simile?
Well, if they came from Africa I would call them that. But I don't know too many black people from Africa. I guess I could start calling the neighbor lady Louisianna American if that would help your tender sensibilities.
What if its a black person that came from Great Brittain? Do I call them African-British-American? This could get very tedious to anyone but a total PC douche.
Perhaps instead of having such big issues with just calling black-[AMERICANS] simply black or negro or something like that instead of AFRICANS, they would perhaps take less offense, since they actually are Americans and not Africans..
And you people talk about integration, going around calling all black people in America, "Africans".. :lol:

Seriously, smearing the source, as if it doesn't include links to mainstream sources, won't refute anything presented here. Try again.
It's true. Look at how many millions of cowards voted for Obama out of fear of being thought of as racist.
I think he's linking this site because it has ads for his book.
I'd ask for a link, but I don't know what good it would do.
I hope no one considering that book ever comes here, to see a certain person losing so many arguments to Liberals.
it's funny, the author at the blog got confused. Holder talked about discussing race "with each other." and this, becomes a tirade on the blog about discussing race with blacks. Holder didn't say that. furthermore, "racial matters" implies much more than one race.
