Get with the times, Lorie.

Part of the issue is the politically correct atmosphere for race relations. When you give people credence for discovering super double secret racial code words in every day speech, then you have to be careful what you say or better yet, say nothing. Is it cowardice to 'duck and cover' or just self preservation?

Maybe 1 day white people can walk safely through the inner city ghettos.

Yet another white Philly cop lost their life last week to a black murderer/criminal. Who's the coward there?

Is this guy nuts? I say the LESS we talk about it the better. The more it's a non-issue, the more it stays a non-issue. I'm tired of the racial discussion.

Oops. I forgot. I shouldn't have posted my update because white Republicans are often called racist if they have black friends. Or maybe it is just if they let anybody know they have black friends. Hard to keep track of the rules. The really funny thing is that Holder says we are cowards for not discussing race, but so many times when Republicans talk about race they get ridiculed or called racist. It's enough to make your head spin isn't it?

I got a really weird email a couple of weeks ago from a woman who said every Republican is racist. Every single one. And that no Republican would ever vote for a black person. I told her that was provably wrong because there have been black candidates who have won Republican primaries where all or most of the votes were from Republicans. She said it could not be true.

"Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives."

Speaking of "self-segregation" what does Mr Holder make of the Congressional BLACK Caucus? Or is that, according to Democratic nuance, "Different"?

So, Mr Holder, you want a discussion on race?
Early US history, blacks are slaves; Civil War - no more slavery. 1860-1960 blacks generally treated as second class citizens. 1960's - Civil Rights Awakening. 1960's - current: Black LEADERS: "You owe us", "We're first in line", "We can't be racists", "Where's your guilt?". That about cover it, Mr Holder?
Anything else you want to 'discuss'? Hey, I have a question. Does it BOTHER YOU that you helped get a convicted felon off? Or am I just "racist" for asking? Asshole.

This twit can kiss my ass.

And right after that, he can apologize to those who gave their lives in the Civil War.

Jerk.

Holder: disappointing, but not surprising. Obama's promise to usher in a post-racial era was just campaign sweet talk...just like all of his other "promises."

Remember when the Cosby Show was the number one hit on TV? All races watched that show.

And that was when racism died. But it was revived by people day by day who constantly point out racial differences.

1. Decrying the "cowardice" of Americans to discuss "things racial" on the same day that black hate-mongers (Al Sharpton, et al) go ballistic screaming "RACISM!!" over a cartoon with a chimp in it.

postscript:
620,000 "cowardly" Americans died in a war that was about "things racial"...ending slavery in this nation as a result!

My daughter's best friend is the son of a Mexican-American father and a bi-racial mother. For the 12 years we have known him, all we have seen is a fine young man we call Andrew.
Holder's cheap rhetoric is a serious blunder/

If we shall suppose that American Slavery is one of those offences which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South, this terrible war, as the woe due to those by whom the offence came until all the wealth piled by the bond-man's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash, shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said, "the judgments of the Lord, are true and righteous altogether. - President Lincoln

But the truth of the Civil War is that the terrible price for American slavery has been paid, once for all, by the American people's deliberate acceptance of their duty to pay it when, in God's providence, Southern intransigence brought it due. - Alan Keyes

One white man and one black man, both Republicans.

There, now I have talked about race Mr. Holder.

Holder - "Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives."

One word - Ebonics.

If that isn't self-segregation I don't what is. Holder can kiss my honky ass.

Holder's right, I'm guilty as charged.

Can I buy a pardon from him?

Well now Eric, I wouldn't mind talking about race, but since there is only one thing I would be allowed to say on the subject ('Yes, I am a white closet racist!') without severe potential penalties, I have sort of lost interest in the topic.
I am sure O and friends will continue to have many conversations about it, and somehow, I think the fruit of these conversations will cost me and mine a lot of money.

There a difference between "cowards" and "been there, done that, and was called a racist for suggesting many roblems in the black community are self inflicted."

Race relations' real cowards are the professional victims, race-hustling poverty pimps, and black "leaders" who continue to divide the country along racial lines as a way to increase their personal power.

No matter, in 30-40 years Hispanics will be demographically running the country anyway. I'm sure they'll break out the world's smallest violin for blacks...

Holder can kiss my ass!

The dhimmicrats are the party of class warfare, racial warfare, and victim warfare.

It's simple...disagree with their views, and you are a racist or (insert word here) _________.

As conservatives, there is no use arguing with them...they use emotions, but counter that with logic and rationale, and their pea brains fail to comprehend, and it is fun to watch them sputter words and get ready to have their heads explode...
