Americans spelled it out in black and white.

The public discourse on race relations rattled with mixed emotions after Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr.'s bold assertion that the U.S. is a "nation of cowards" when addressing the realities of the ethnic melting pot.

"Fraunces Tavern is a restaurant and museum in lower Manhattan, New York City. It was built on the site of a former building which played a significant role in pre-Revolutionary activities, and in which, on 4 December 1783, General George Washington bade farewell to his officers at the end of the Revolution, before returning to his home, Mount Vernon."

"During the 1970s and 1980s, FALN members set off at least 138 bombs in five major U.S. Cities. Six Americans were killed in those attacks. One of those bombings, in January 1975, was at the historic Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan while patrons were at lunch. The explosion killed four and injured more than 50."

"Between 1974 and 1985 the FALN (Puerto Rican Armed Forces of National Liberation) organized 120 terrorist bombings in the United States. Many Americans were killed in those bombings, and many more were crippled. In 1983, another Puerto Rican terrorist group known as the Macheteros, attacked and robbed a Wells Fargo armored car in Connecticut. The Macheteros intended to use the money to finance a terrorist campaign against the United States. Working under the cover of Puerto Rican nationalism and claiming to act on behalf of the 'oppressed people of Puerto Rico,' the FALN and the Macheteros are nothing but Communist revolutionaries. Both groups were organized by Fidel Castro's secret police. The ultimate goal of the FALN and the Macheteros is the creation of an independent Marxist-Leninist dictatorship on the island of Puerto Rico."

“There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.”

Sounds a lot like what the Medicine/Drug Cartels do to us...

[Night Hides Not]

We ARE a nation of cowards, just not in the way Mr. Holder meant.

Your statement was beautifully illustrated by the "tribute" on AMC to Blazing Saddles. I noticed the "N" word was bleeped from the movie. Some "tribute".

It was as if a huge hole was cut out of the Mona Lisa (maybe too much hyperbole, but this movie is a comedic masterpiece).

Thank you for your service FRiend.

Why shouldn’t they be cowards? Everytime a white guy speaks out about race he gets FIRED.

The only thing that his statement confirms is that there are bigots on both sides.

" If a non-black person even acknowledges that the concept of race exists, he/she is immediately branded a racist.

A black person, however, can say any vile, racist thing that enters their empty little head and if anybody mentions it, the person taking note is the racist.

Bears constant repetition...
