Our new Attorney General has already disgraced himself. Aren’t broad-based, stereotypical statements the sort of thing that are frowned upon? Like, if I say that Mexicans are lazy, white people are fat, and black people are criminals - wouldn’t that raise a red flag? I hope so!

But our own AG, Eric Holder - the first black Attorney General, goes out and says we are all a bunch of cowards about race.

What a despicable and embarrassing thing to say.

WASHINGTON (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.

Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but “we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race.” 

I thought we were all equal? What are you suggesting I do? Call up all my black friends and ask them what it is like to be black? “Uh, hey Mike. How are ya? Yea thats great…. So what’s it like to be black?”

Yea, brilliant idea.
