Eric Holder's Speech on Race

It was all too predictable that Attorney General Eric Holder would be attacked for his recent remarks about race in America. To suggest that the nation is still haunted by the specter of racism is unacceptable it seems, especially since, with the election of President Barack Obama, we have ostensibly entered the "post-racial" era.

But in truth, Holder deserves criticism more for what he didn't say than for what he did.

Specifically, Holder blamed personal cowardice for our racial divide, rather than institutionalized inequities, thereby minimizing his own department's role in solving the problem; and he blamed everyone (and thus no one in particular) for being cowards, thereby letting white Americans -- who have always been the ones least willing to engage the subject -- off our uniquely large hook.

The racial divide about which Holder spoke, particularly in terms of the neighborhoods where people live, is not the result of some abstract cowardice to engage one another. Rather, it is about the racist fears of whites, who decades ago began leaving neighborhoods when blacks began to move in.

Most whites are thinking about prejudice! Message boards and Blogs are swarmed most by people with complaints, people with an agenda one-dimensional views about white Americans.

"And don't call me a racist!"

No I'm not a racist, but I’ve noticed that all racist bigots think like Rush Limbaugh. Comparing a respected black politician and minister to common criminals is Jim Crow racism. Maybe all black people look alike to him, but I’ve never seen a picture of a wanted criminal that looks like Jesse Jackson. But to me a serial killer looks more like Rush Limbaugh .

White Americans just can't swallow the idea of a black president. Especially one with Islamic sounding name. Why don’t you hang the storm trooper unif

White Americans just can't swallow the idea of a black president. Especially one with Islamic sounding name. Why don’t you hang the storm trooper uniform in the closet. Take off you white hood and robe. Reverently fold your Confederate flag and put it away for now. And wake up, this is the new Amerika. You chicken’s have come home to roost!

Are The Jews REALLY The Black Man's Friend? Think About It.

It's time to bring the real haters into this discussion.

Of course that would be the Jews.
During the Inquisition, many jews fled to the English and Spanish colonies in the "New World". They took their significant capital with them, and started to trade in the commodities of the age. Jewish merchants controlled the Spanish and Portuguese slave trade, as well as the Dutch East and West Indian companies.

The vast majority of slave ships were owned by Jews, and at the beginning these ships were manned by Jewish crews and sailed under the command of Jewish captains. Later, as the Jews assumed a more protected (affluent) position in this dirty business did they ensnare gentiles (Europeans, blacks, etc.) to do this dangerous work.

The majority of slave auctions were conducted by and for Jews. Even in the English colonies, entire communities of Jews formed in port towns (Charleston, Baltimore, Newport.

Minister Louis Farrakhan & the Jews
"In my hands is a manuscipt brothers and sisters, that arose out of the controversy between myself and the Jewish community. I want to tell all of you I have never been antisemitic. I have never been a hater of Jews, nor am I now that, but I discovered in my tussle with them that they were on me because I had the nerve to pull the cover off of some deceitful practices that they practice on us and on others. And so they tried to make me the worst Black man in history. When they did that, some Muslims in the Nation rose up to defend me and went into libraries and did research and compiled a manuscript of over 300 pages from their own writings not from us. And not one scholar that we quote is an antisemite. Here are Jewish rabbis, Jewish scholars, Jewish writers. They document their own hand in the slave trade. They document their own hand in owning the ships, running the ships, buying and selling our fathers - it's here.

Shocking? Yea but damn it's so true.

Don't Blame Obama, the Jews Responsible for the Recession.

I truly believe that the recession is neither Bush's nor Obama's fault, although I would put a substantial portion of blame on the Fed mostly mostly the Jewish bankers like Greenspan for keeping interest rates so low as to encourage too much private debt. A more honest assessment of how we got to where we are would be to blame Barney Frank for encouraging and rewarding risky home loans to unqualified borrowers. Also "irrational exuberance" in the ability of the US economy to create high rates of return for all the money pouring into Wall Street from IRA's and foreign creditors based on the false belief that there is no limit to our ability to innovate. And add Richard Perle, Elliott Abrams, Paul Wolfowitz to the list. , ,,

My Thoughts

I'm more of a cultural purist than racist but I agree with most racist philosophies outside of the blacks are inferior stuff..I don't believe whites are inferior. In fact I have many white friends

Yes We Can!

From sitting in the backs of the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination.And this year, we have won an election and put a Black Man in the Oval Office of the White House.America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do.
