Holder: US Still 'Nation of Cowards' On Race - 'I've Been A Lightning Rod of Positive Change'
WND-TV
Attorney General Eric Holder charged that America is still a “nation of cowards” when it comes to racial issues.
On Thursday, Holder stood by his Feb. 19, 2009, controversial statement, “Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot in things racial, we have always been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards.”
His latest comments came during an interview with the University of Virginia’s Miller Center. During the interview, the attorney general was asked if he would take back his controversial comments.
“I would not take that back,” he said.
Holder also argued that race relations are improving.
“We’re certainly doing a lot better than we did,” he said.
Noting Obama’s election and his own appointment as highest-ranking law-enforcement official in the country, Holder said the U.S. is showing improvement.
He said, “The fact that you have two of us in high office is a sign of progress. We’re still striving toward that more perfect union.”
As WND recently reported, American Thinker commentator Russ Vaughn charged that Holder’s treatment of the “Knockout Game” phenomenon is revealing the White House’s racial agenda is more concerned with retribution than reconciliation.
“The Obama administration and the Holder Justice Department are deliberately disinclined to prosecute hate crimes where blacks are the perpetrators and whites are the victims,” Vaughn wrote. “It is becoming increasingly disturbing that it is not just the Obama administration and the brown-nosed media that have attempted to sweep this new criminal activity under the rug, but [also] local police departments. It’s happening all over the country, and not just in the major urban centers. I call this racialization of the law and criminality the Holder Effect, for it was the relatively new attorney general who famously announced that his Justice Department would side with ‘his people.’”
