Agitated, Mr. Holder objected to a statement by witness Bartle Bull that Panther behavior was the worst the civil rights activist had ever seen at the polls. “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 … does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all for my people,” Mr. Holder said.

His people? America left behind this sort of expression in the 1960s. “By sounding like Al Sharpton, Holder is demeaning his position as the chief law enforcement officer of the United States,” said Deneen Borelli of the black conservative organization Project 21.

Mr. Holder again dodged questions asking him to deny that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes had told her division to prosecute only civil rights cases involving black victims,

Holder won't answer it because he knows it's true, he should resign or be impeached.

Look, Holder isn’t “black enough” to be a real black man. He’s jealous.

Well, the American people voted for black governance. Now people can see what such governance entails.

Humans are tribal. Send all blacks back to Africa and see how they do with their tribes 5,000 years of history.

....he should resign or be impeached.

He's come out and told the world he's a bigot. So much for the media covering racism from the very top level of this government.

We have departed from equal justice under the law and gone to special justice under the law.

Sadly you're right. It began the day Obama was inaugurated and has progressively gotten worse.

I can’t even imagine how this crew of miscreants got elected or, worse, maintain power. Their brazenness and incompetence is mind boggling.

Attorney General Holder is a RACIST.

He says so himself in public.

He prosecutes based on the color of people’s skin.

Reverend Martin Luther King would be so proud.
