Today the Department of Justice inspector general released a report on potential Labor secretary nominee Tom Perez’s DOJ Civil Rights Division. The timing of the release to coincide with his nomination was certainly accidental, because the report paints a damning portrait of the DOJ unit he managed.
The full report is here.
The 250-page report offers an inside glimpse of systemic racialist dysfunction inside one of the most powerful federal government agencies.
The report was prepared in response to Representative Frank Wolf’s (R-VA) outrage over the New Black Panther voter intimidation dismissal.
Former Voting Section ChiefChris Coates and I both testified about the hostility towards race-neutral law enforcement by the Justice Department.
Today’s report paints a disgusting portrait, confirming our accounts.
Chris Coates, in response to today’s report:
As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by the Obama administration in 2009, the Civil Rights Division of the DOJ was not enforcing the voting laws in a race-neutral manner, contrary to the Constitutional guarantees of equal protection. That pattern of racially selective enforcement of the voting laws must stop. I hope that the IG report facilitates that needed reform.
Though the report took almost four years to complete, it was worth the wait. Though the report commenced as an investigation into the New Black Panther dismissal, seemingly every rock the investigators turned over resulted in more creatures fleeing the sunshine. The final report captures a range of outrageous conduct, including the following examples:
– “Numerous witnesses told us that there was widespread opposition to the Noxubee case among the Voting Section career staff.” Noxubee was a case in which white voters were victimized.
– DOJ employees opposed the bringing of a case against a black defendant to help white victims in Noxubee County, Mississippi.
The report: “Coates and other career attorneys told the OIG that they were aware of comments by some Voting Section attorneys indicating that the Noxubee case should have never been brought because White citizens were not historical victims of discrimination or could fend for themselves. Indeed, two career Voting Section attorneys told us that, even if the Department had infinite resources, they still would not have supported the filing of the Noxubee case because it was contrary to the purpose of the Voting Rights Act, which was to ensure that minorities who had historically been the victims of discrimination could exercise the right to vote.”
– “Many of those individuals told the OIG that they believed that the reason the voting rights laws were enacted was to protect historic victims of discrimination and therefore the Section should prioritize its resources accordingly. Additionally, some of these individuals, including one current manager, admitted to us that, while they believed that the text of the Voting Rights Act is race-neutral and applied to all races, they did not believe the Voting Section should pursue cases on behalf of White victims.”
– Threats were made to African American employees by other Justice Department staff.
The threats were made because the black employees were willing to work on cases like the New Black Panther voter intimidation case and a case in Mississippi involving a black wrongdoer and a white victim. I testified about this disgusting hostility toward race-neutral enforcement of the law, and today’s report confirms it took place.
– Attorney General Eric Holder was approached by Acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King: King complained about cases that Voting Section Chief Chris Coates was bringing. Coates had brought and managed the New Black Panther voter intimidation case.
Holder greenlighted King: do what was necessary to get rid of Coates.
– Attorney General Holder told us that he understood from what others told him that Coates was a divisive and controversial person in the Voting Section and that one concern about Coates was that he “wanted to expand the use of the power of the Civil Rights Division in such a way that it would take us into areas that, though justified, would come at a cost of that which the Department traditionally had done, at the cost of people [that the] Civil Rights Division had traditionally protected. ”
What remains to be seen is if the usual apologists for Eric Holder begin to show intellectual honesty and address the criticisms, rather than play defense.
I don’t suppose any of them will be sending along an apology for smearing the people who have been reporting the facts today confirmed by the IG report, or for deceiving the public for the last four years regarding the DOJ.
We’ll have more at PJ Media about this over the coming days. As one source familiar with the IG process told us:
There are weeks of stories in this report.
hope and change
PING! IG report just out on the DOJ Civil Rights Division.
Maybe when they said “post-racial”, they meant
“after we get rid of Whitey”.
“Racialist” = RACIST.
This has been very apparent since the 0bama regime took power. I'm not holding my breath expecting ANYTHING to be done.
BTW, what has been done about Benghazi?
Ping for reading. Over and over. We know this happens...but I’ll bet the details of the report may even surprise some of us. It’s going to take some mighty good people to right this ship. grrrrrrr.
I hear you. Going to have to get some Republican Senators with cajones to use this to stop Perez but will be surprised if any do.
BTT
Well, that’s the last we’ll hear of that report.
... by the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department ...
The only humor in the situation is watching the faces of those who thought egalitarianism would become the norm. People believed what the Third World leader King said: "The content of their character." With that phrase his writers put the intended victims to sleep. As the Gaul said to the Roman: "Woe to the conquered!"
Yess, yes my children I know there are other causes of Western Collapse besides loss of the ability to exclude; i.e. the collapse of morals, the love of vice, the need for peace, rest and quiet etc.
The Obama/Holder Department of Just Us and Our People.
bkmk
Yep. “Equality” was only a ruse. It was about vengeance. But what civilised person would want to live anyway in a world without white influence. Who wants to live in Camden, or South Africa? If the white world must go, whites are better off going with it.

BOTTOM LINE:
Not a thing can be done ! They simply cannot be fired. The Division will never be closed down.
This is why NOTHING will ever change.
Live with it, white America. We are considered "the conquered people". And our troubles have only just begun. The only humor---if any---in this woeful situation is watching Obama voters who sap-happily figured "egalitarianism" would become the norm once O was elected. They will soon learn how very wrong they were.
To understand what is happening, we have to know what drives Ohaha and his crew: It is an article of faith in O's "community" that all US laws, rules, regs, our constitution our govt and its agencies, etc----exist for one purpose: to preserve the "status quo." In their tortured minds that means to elevate and maintian whites in positions of power in order to diminish non-whites to servile status, to keep non-whites in their place,
Thus, the destruction of the "meritocracy" is complete. We now have the empowerment of the dregs of society---those on the margins, criminals, law-breaking latinos, etc etc etc.
Under analysis, Ohaha might be diagnosed with an obsessive compulsive disorder----a hatred so strong, he is compelled to tear down every US agency and institution---our Constitution---our very government.
