“HOLDER: Whites Can’t Be Victims of Racial Injustice Because They Haven’t Suffered Enough”

This is a grossly misleading headline and the OP should be ashamed of behaving like a lib. Read the damn story to see what was ACTUALLY said and the context. It is nothing like the headline. Posting false and inflammatory headlines like this has been happening all too often recently and people assume it is the truth. Even though Holder is an incompetent and divisive boob such behavior should be strongly discouraged.

You have a point.

I can’t say I read the rest of the article.

What is interesting is that this is easily the explanation for WHY he has not prosecuted the Black Panthers for voter intimidation. He is a racist, for NOT enforcing the laws of this nation.

As a Canadian growing up in this country, the idea that ALL whites in this country had ANYTHING to do with the slave trade and slavery, is preposterous at best, deliberate provocation at worst.

In the future should I check with you before posting?

I absolutely agree. Really what he said was inflammatory enough. Why frame it incorrectly?

Okay, I'm reading from Politico, Eric Holder: Black Panther case focus demeans 'my people'[ From their reporting:

......."The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.

"Think about that," Holder said. "When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, [blacks in the South suffered] and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people," [more than the white people in Philadelphia exposed to the black panthers] said Holder, "...............

I don't think the headline is too far off.. The fact that Holder threw in "MY PEOPLE" shows exactly where his heart and allegiance lies....along color lines.

I think the headline is correct. Tell me what about this article tells you differently. Below are the quotes from Holder in the article. The article is not inflamatory, it is Holder that is being inflamatory.

“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate .. .to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people,” said Holder, who is black.

Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.

“To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, to say some Black Panther incident is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history,” Holder said with evident exasperation.”

Very well said. Such inflammatory and misleading headlines make us look stupid. There is enough truth that is damaging to the other side without resorting to hysterics.

Having two active FR accounts is also a no-no. Say buh-bye to this one.
