In a pointed and at times personal speech, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. on Saturday morning argued that America’s struggle for racial equality has become defined less by expressions of outright bigotry than by policies that subtly but systematically impede equal opportunity.
Speaking during the commencement ceremony at Morgan State University, a historically black college in Baltimore, Holder referred obliquely to a series of racially charged episodes that have “received substantial media coverage” in recent weeks — an apparent reference to the controversial comments made by Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and Nevada cattle rancher Cliven Bundy. But Holder also said that the “outlandish statements that capture national attention” obscure a more troubling reality.
“These outbursts of bigotry, while deplorable, are not the true markers of the struggle that still must be waged, or the work that still needs to be done,” he said.
“The greatest threats,” he said, “are more subtle. They cut deeper. And their terrible impact endures long after the headlines have faded and obvious, ignorant expressions of hatred have been marginalized.”
The comments were Holder’s most extensive on the subject of race since early 2009, when he gave a speech during Black History Month that generated controversy and reportedly infuriated President Obama’s chief of staff at the time, Rahm Emanuel....

LOLOL, no... see post #44 8^)
Stop Jihad Now!
As opposed to your obvious threats, eh Counselor?
“Subtle” threats, aka “dog whistles” that crime wizards like Eric can pick up and decipher.
That’s why I added the smiley :-)
Racism is always just under the surface, doncha’ know.
Quota boys like holder and obammy would NEVER have made it to their current postions had they had to get there with out set asides.
In other words they were NOT the best and brightest.
This is what happeneds when someone leaves the cover to the cesspool off
Now Eric’s whispering `Wolf!’. Oprah’s boyfriend is a `Two-note Johnny’:
He won’t enforce the laws/breaks the law and plays the race-card. That’s it.
Without the subtle racist policy of affirmative action the USofA would not be suffering the disastrous consequences of the traitorous Odumbo Administration and the lawless/racist Attorney General, Eric the Red.
i know... 8^)

Wow! Gotta read that speech!
Oh... No “...substantial media coverage” on those -- so they don't count... </SARCASM>
An honest discussion of race would start and end with content of character!
Nothing else need be said!
He's also the poster boy for affirmative action.
