Eric Holder: Black Panther case focus demeans 'my people'
Politico.com ^ | March 01, 2011 | Josh Gerstein

Attorney General Eric Holder finally got fed up Tuesday with claims that the Justice Department went easy in a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party because they are African American.

Holder's frustration over the criticism became evident during a House Appropriations subcommittee hearing as Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) accused the Justice Department of failing to cooperate with a Civil Rights Commission investigation into the handling of the 2008 incident in which Black Panthers in intimidating outfits and wielding a club stood outside a polling place in Philadelphia.

The Attorney General seemed to take personal offense at a comment Culberson read in which former Democratic activist Bartle Bull called the incident the most serious act of voter intimidation he had witnessed in his career.

We will see if middle class African Americans successfully stand up to shut this racist down.

If not, this shouts to the US - Black Americans are not ready for prime time and can be trusted with power over America. The Africa dominates the American. The race is all that matters and it is a radical at war with America. This is the radical MLK rejected and shunned.

This is the time we will see what Black Americans are made of.

Amazingly after going through all the posts nobody put up this gem of a quote? “I would disagree very vehemently with the notion that there’s overwhelming evidence that that is in fact true,” Holder replied. “This Department of Justice does not enforce the law in a race-conscious way.”
So the evidence in his opinion is not overwhelming but does in fact exist? He’s not disputing the evidence,only its quantity.

correct , will the black population stand iup to this racist comment ?
Will the left stand up to racism?

Nah didn’t think so,
I lived in a black area when first starting out and the racism then was disgusting towards all not just whites and it is accepted as normal.

Still when they have black bike week, black Miss America , black this and that then it must be hard to see for them how that is racist

Time to lower the boom on this administration so hard that Obama has to cut Holder's throat. He'll let him resign of course.

Hi! I'm Sally, and I'm Johnny

Welcome to our website:
Black People Love Us!

We are well-liked by Black people so we're psyched (since lots of Black people don't like lots of White people)!! We thought it'd be cool to honor our exceptional status with a ROCKIN' domain name and a killer website!!

 
We hope you think we're as awesome as the Black community does!!

So, Eric, who exactly are your people to whom you refer? Blacks or the Black Panthers? If the former, you've proven yourself to be a racist who refuses to represent all American citizens, the main ethical tenet of your current position. If the latter, you're a militant radical who seeks to undermine the American way of life. Either option is unacceptable.

Under the Obama regime, we are not Americans. They look at us a groups they must pander to to win elections, except white males, Christians and other non-PC groups.

They are all racists as far as I am concerned.

From the looks of that photo, some of “his” ancestors and some of “our” ancestors were on rather friendly terms/sarcasm

Holder’s denials are just proof to the following:

There is no longer a Justice Department.
It’s morphed into the Just-Us Department!

Case closed.

My People.......so Holder refuses to prosecute black Americans??

Impeach the ba$tard.ONe lay for My People, and another for thise who are not, "My People?"

The Obama regime is coming apart at the seams. Time to lay on to then real good, redouble our efforts.

For an Atty Genreal of the USA, to publicly say that his people are not ALL of Americans, then he has placed the administration of justice in grave doubt.So grave that he is impeachable.

Impeachment of Holder should commence, immediately.

Photobucket

Black nationalist with a socialist ideology for revenge against white folks? Well that means Holder is a nationalist socialist...to wit: A Fascist.Impeach...impeach......impeach!

I don’t know who “his people” are, but he makes affirmative action look bad.

My people?

Mr. Holder, all of America is your people as the Attorney General.

Your racist core has been exposed. Now, begone.

"to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that"

"Inappropriate?" Can you imagine what Holder's response would've been to white thugs with billy clubs harassing voters in a black 'hood? Let's just say he wouldn't use the word "inappropriate." He'd go apeshit.

Holder is a Black Panther in suit and tie. Racist to the core.

Note that there’s not the least ambiguity about what Holder means by “my people.”

That would NOT be 87% of the U.S. population.

“”My people” versus “you people.”

Civil war talk from the top of the administration.

Very troubling.””

It’s what they want. Setting the whole world on fire.
