Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing unresolved racial issues. In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.
"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," said Holder, nation's first black attorney general.
Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but "we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race."
He urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for frank talk about racial matters.

Whenever a liberal says they want to have a conversation or a dialogue, what they really want is for you to sit there and shut up and listen to them lecture you....
Precisely
OK, name three.
And, furthermore....HOLDER and his boss, Bambi, and Oprah....are some of the BIGGEST RACISTS THERE ARE!
” Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.”
Pssst Eric...
When the Obamas took the empty 757 to Hawaii for their glorious Christmas vacation -their group included only African Americans.
The Obamas, Valerie Jarrett ,Dr Eric Whitaker and Marty Nesbitt.
FRAUDS, all of them.
Racism will never die.
Too many people are making money from it.
Yes, and also getting votes and power.
That guy is the gift that keeps on giving for conservatives..
I have a job, hobbies and a family life..I don’t have time to spend every waking hour obsessing about racial matters that I had nothing to do with.
Hold that thought, for at least 4 years.
What the f are the “unresolved racial issues”? Blacks and Hispanics have been given the moon. If they’ve squandered it, it’s their own fault.
God forbid we have freedom and society by contract you statist thug. Sigh, time to buy EVEN MORE F****ING AMMO.
excellent point
sigh
Eric Holder is a crooked piece of crap and a lousy attorney. But hey, he is black so that pretty much makes up for it. Right?

Obambi is a crooked piece of crap and a lousy potus. But hey, he is black so that pretty much makes up for it. Right?

Why we are in this position. People like these no brain morons voted for BLACK.
but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.
1. This is none of AG Holder’s business.
2. AG Holder is dead wrong on this. He’s the type of person who would defame the South as a place where the Klan rides unchecked (actually there’s not much Klan left, and what’s left typically gets laughed out of town).
3. Maybe it’s the Northeastern liberal types he hangs out with who still segregate their private lives - oops, silly me, can’t point out their hypocrisy since those are the “enlightened”.

Whatever happened to "Different Strokes, for Different Folks?" It shall be this way for eternity. "Live & Let Live" is a good motto to live by. SO FAR(???)....all Americans are free to do such. My grandfather came here from Germany @ 7 years of age with a few dollars in his pocket. He parlayed that into raising a family of 5 & ownership of about 20 homes & properties in NY by the time of the Great Depression. The American Dream is possible now for all - white, black or purple. Unless you want &/or expect government to just hand it to you.
While many people are all for judging a person by their character instead of the color of their skin, others want a PASS on their character because of the color of their skin.
Pointing out a person of color has a bad character is racist, don'tchaknow.

Well mr Holder, I'll tell ya what.
This weekend I'd really like go down to 63rd and King Drive in Chicago, walk into the first Barber Shop I find and 'discuss' some of these 'unresolved racial issues'. But drat, I'm booked solid..... and then there's the tiny fact that any White person caught 'walking' around 63rd and King Dr will be found robbed, raped and dead within 2 hours.
'Unresolved racial issues'? Try looking in a mirror Holder, maybe that will help.
