Holder Wants Race Preferences and Benefits . . . Forever
PJ Media ^ | March 2, 2012 | J. Christian Adams

Posted on 03/03/2012 11:06:33 AM PST by jazusamo

Eric Holder has gone all-in supporting race-based hiring preferences and race-based benefits. Given that the majority of Americans despise this rot, surely the presidential candidates will pounce.

In a little noticed interview at the “World Leaders Forum,” Holder makes statements that should be the subject of a direct mail piece in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, and Virginia:

Holder expressed support for affirmative action, saying that he “can’t actually imagine a time in which the need for more diversity would ever cease.”

“Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin. … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”

Let me repeat: When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled? Again, the benefits to which they are entitled.

Ponder a moment the layers of rubbish in this philosophy.

Some are surprised by Holder’s brazenness. I am not. As I like to say, I wrote a bestseller about Holder’s racialist DOJ. Nothing surprises me anymore. The only surprise is the dumbfounded, stuck, GOP response — which would be none.

If the GOP nominee does not make this a presidential campaign issue because he is afraid to talk about such unpleasantries, then shame on him. In tough economic times, the last thing middle America wants to hear is the attorney general grousing about people of color getting benefits because of their color.

The Obama administration obviously exercises no restraint on racial issues, or perhaps has the courage of their convictions. What price is paid for this racial radicalism? None.

Instead, we have a whole assortment of Republicans, inside the government (oh and I could name so many names), afraid to pound Obama for this. Let’s hope they come out of their shells and fight.

Obama has paid no price for this rotted, unfair, and un-American employment philosophy, and continued GOP silence will preserve this peace.

Guess Holder is no follower of Martin Luther King.

OK,

Newt will bring it up...in fact he already has indirectly with his food stamp president angle of attack.

No one else will touch it because they aren't verbally agile enough to stand up to the attacks from the Left.

Holder is a blatant racist and doesn’t care who knows it. After the New Black Panthers intimidated voters and he dismissed the case there’s no doubt.

To point out the obvious, Holder is like the left, in that they imagine those receiving racial preferences to be “naturally inferior”, and that their “masters” should cultivate that inferiority in them, as a permanent underclass utterly dependent on their masters for their substance.

“Holder expressed support for affirmative action, saying that he “can’t actually imagine a time in which the need for more diversity would ever cease.”

“Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin. … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”

The fact is that it has to come to an end. Until the law only recognizes one category- American citizen- then this book can never be closed. The Democrats created affirmative action as the biggest vote-buying scheme in history, and disguised it as justice. There might well have been a need for it- 30-50 years ago. Enough is enough. It is 2012, and neither I nor any of my students can remember a time of “Colored Only” signs. Piss be upon Holder the race pimp.

Amen to that.

Until such time that preferential treatment is refused to all special classes of people we will not all truly be “American citizens.”

There is a sign at the local pond here that tells us NOT to feed the geese. Says it interferes with their instincts to obtain food on their own.

Same could be said of people!
