Holder sees racism in Zimmerman, Martin, shooting
The Daily Caller ^ | 15 Jul 20134

The nation’s top law-enforcement officer told an African-American sorority Monday that he would lead an effort to change Americans’ beliefs and judgments about race, following George Zimmerman’s Sunday acquittal in the 2012 shooting of Trayvon Martin.

Attorney General Eric Holder blamed racial attitudes for the killing.

“We are resolved, as you are, to combat violence involving or directed at young people, to prevent future tragedies, and to deal with the underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs and stereotypes that serve as the basis for these too-common incidents,” Holder told the long-scheduled meeting of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.

Martin was a 17 year-old black youth in Florida.

“I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honesty about the complicated and emotionally charged issues that this case has raised,” Holder said, while pointing his finger for emphasis.

“We must not, as we have too often in the past, let this opportunity pass,” he said, reminding listeners of the episode in 2009 when he called Americans “a nation of cowards” for not talking about race in the way he wished................Holder is a racist coward who should be in jail.

He hasn’t spoken “honestly” about it yet. Nor has he practiced it.

BTW Eric, what was your reaction to the OJ verdict? Did you giving a Standing O too?

I think we are about to see the most creative use of the Justice Department and the FBI in the history of the country .

Racists see racism.

That’s all they see in everything they see.

Black Panthers member chanting to kill white babies at a Philadelphia polling place in 2008 during the election was completely dismissed by Holder.

Changing our opinions on this would mean injustice and racial prosecutions. This is really sick, the lead investigator, the FBI, found no racism here.

Martin was a 17 year-old black youth thug/addict in Florida.

For Holder to have reviewed that trial and believe any of this, he would have to be the WORST lawyer in history.

How’s this for a dialogue on race? Tell them you’re sorry but face the fact that Zimmerman is a non racist minority, and that there was no racial killing here.

Anything short of that is cowardice and racism.

Holder sees racism in a bottle of ink, a bag of charcoal, a moonless night.

Holder sees racism under every rock as do most blacks. All Holder has to do to see true racism is to look into a mirror

Holder sees racism everywhere he looks, other than the most convenient place of all for him to find it...straight in front of him while he is shaving.

Holder is a liar and racist that does not prosecute “his” people.
