Reverse Racism in the Obama Administration

United States Attorney General, Eric Holder — supposedly the top law enforcement authority in the country — has refused to enforce voter intimidation laws against the man shouting about killing “crackers” and “cracker babies” in this video …

If you think racism is wrong — and you think the law needs to be applied equally to everyone, blind to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc — then you need to be up in arms about this case!

This case was a slam dunk for the Department of Justice. The video evidence is here »»»

…that two men from the New Black Panther Party were intimidating voters outside of a Philadelphia polling place on November 4, 2008 – the day this nation elected its first Black President. A day that was a proud day for many Americans, a bittersweet day for some, and a nightmare for a very few ignorant racists. A proud day not only for Blacks, but for other minorities from coast to coast and proof that everything is possible in America. A bittersweet day for people like myself who disagree entirely with the man’s (Obama) politics, but is so proud of my country that we have again knocked down another hurdle on the path to a color blind society.

Is this what Dr. King spoke of when he talked about equality and justice? I wasn’t there, but judging by his words when he said we should “judge a man, not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character”, I would think not.

The men in these videos refused to show up for their day in court making the case even easier for the Department of Justice to prosecute early on, but as explained in this video…

…the process got very messy as it moved towards sentencing when “upper level” individuals in the Department of Justice issued the mandate that not only would this case be dropped, but no other voter intimidation cases would be tried where there was a “white victim”.

I really don’t care if you are of the political persuasion where you want to spend every dime this country produces one hundred times over and print that much more paper money on top of it. If we can’t agree on issues such as these – if we can’t unite where justice is this clearly not being served, then all the Gold and Platinum in the world will mean nothing.

What policy could possibly mean more than stopping a corrupt justice system? If the courts and our system of justice has been infected by politics and the desire to have one man, or one race, or one party sit in the Presidency, then we are all in for a horrible fate and we will have no one to blame but ourselves for our apathy.

Take responsibility. We’ve all had a hand in allowing this type of corruption to take place and now it has reached our Federal Justice system once again. We came along way from defeating racist white judges and politicians in the past, and now we’re just going to sit on our hands because the tides have turned? Let’s be proud that our country elected a Black man as President, but be fair and consistent when judging the content of his character and the character of those involved at the highest levels of our Federal Justice system.
