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.

The reason the black community is going hysterical over Zimmerman is they aren't willing to face up to the violent reality of their own neighborhoods.

I am not in the least surprised that Holder takes this view, or is trying to make what hay he can out of this.
But, I remain amazed that the “big lie” seems to work so well. He’s not even pretending to tell even a little teeny bit of the truth — just big bold brazen lies.
I’m gobsmacked.

Facts no longer matter. The script has been written and the facts be damned. Interesting how every dogcatcher and potty inspector from every state and town in the union has to now “weigh in” on how they “feel” about the verdict.
LOL!
“Holder would see racism in a potted plant.”
That would be one Rachel Jenteal!
holder IS racism.
I see racism in Holder; Obama.
