HOLDER: Whites Can’t Be Victims of Racial Injustice Because They Haven’t Suffered Enough
Johnathon Burns
March 2, 2011
Or, The Continuing Media Narrative of ‘Acceptable’ Racism.
Dr. King once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Apparently, US Attorney General Eric Holder didn’t get the memo.
As reported and applauded by Politico, Holder announced Tuesday that he was fed up with listening to whining whites who claim the justice department deliberately blocks investigations of black on white racism. Predictably, the Establishment media sides with Holder.
“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate .. .to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people,” said Holder, who is black.
Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.
“To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, to say some Black Panther incident is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history,” Holder said with evident exasperation.”
So the obvious takeaway from this is that some racism is worse than others. Some racist injustice is worthy of prosecution, other racism is not. Apparently, whites simply haven’t suffered enough. They don’t deserve legal protection. So, any injustices committed against white people should be swept under the rug. It’s not worth Eric Holder’s time.
One might be shocked by the statements. One might even wonder why the media chooses not to attack Holder for his patently racist statements. After all, were a white man to suggest this, his career would be over in a hail of media machine-gun fire. Reporters would fall over themselves to attack him, and his family would be ruthlessly attacked in the community. His kids would have to stay home from school (assuming their teachers weren’t on strike, anyway), and he’d get hate mail and death threats for decades.
But the Establishment Media’s lack of moral indignation isn’t surprising. In America, it’s blasphemous to even suggest that whites could be victims of racial injustice.
Whites are the permanent “oppressors” in the mainstream media narrative, while all other races are the permanent “victims.” In fact, “white” and “oppressor” are essentially synonymous — meaning: whites are the bad guys. All whites have been lumped together and typecast in a bad reality TV show. Because whites as a group do not have clean hands, therefore, they are denied the right of seeking justice.
If that isn’t stereotyping, I don’t know what is.
The larger issue, of course, is that “whites as racists” constitutes the fundamental lens through which Holder views issues in America. During the healthcare debate, Holder likened opposition of Obamacare to opposition to civil rights. Not civil rights in the sense that, “all Americans share civil rights,” mind you, but “Civil Rights” as in the struggle for black legal equality in America during the 40’s-60’s. Translation: those who oppose Obamacare are racists. Such language is naked race-baiting and scapegoating. But Holder doesn’t care. Whites are the bad guy bogeymen, trotted out when it gets tough to pass legislation. And his recent comments reveal his paradigm: white Americans are generally racist and any time they oppose any Obama policy or “injustice” at the hands of a racist group, they’re either being racists or they’re simply not entitled to equal protection because they haven’t suffered as much as other groups.
Nobody is seeking to belittle the suffering of other people, here, but America seeks equality. This means equal protection under the law, not equality in historical racial suffering.
Holder’s statements are completely sadistic, and they betray his motives. He has a score to settle, and by his figure whites have a lot more suffering to endure before they have a right to expect justice from the “Justice Department.” Satisfying vendettas is for Mob Bosses, not the US Attorney General’s Office.
The Establishment media’s silence regarding his racist statements demonstrates agreement and approval. Such hypocrisy. Such shame. Such racism.
Now all we need is some voters who can process the words and figure out what they mean.
“...Holder is just not qualified to be in the position he is in...”
-
Neither is his boss.
But “whoop, there he is”.
I absolutely agree. Really what he said was inflammatory enough. Why frame it incorrectly?
"Rich was a commodities trader who amassed both a fortune and some influential friends in the 1970s and '80s. Along with his partner, Pincus Green, he was indicted in 1983 on 65 counts of tax evasion and related matters. Before he could be prosecuted, however, he fled to Switzerland. There he remained, avoiding extradition and eventually arranging to be represented by Jack Quinn, a Washington lawyer and Clinton's onetime White House counsel -- in other words, a certified power broker. Quinn did an end run around the Justice Department's pardon office and went straight to Holder and the White House. With a stroke of a pen, justice was not done. Holder was not just an integral part of the pardon process, he provided the White House with cover by offering his go-ahead recommendation. No alarm seemed to sound for him. Not only had strings been pulled, but it was rare to pardon a fugitive -- someone who had avoided possible conviction by avoiding the inconvenience of a trial. The U.S. attorney's office in New York -- which, Holder had told the White House, would oppose any pardon -- was kept ignorant of what was going on. Afterward, it was furious.

Orqellian irony... “but some animals are more equal than others”
That reminds me. I had a relative who survived the Nazi regime working as a slave in the fascist mines. Did Holder ever talk to a liberated slave in his life? Was Holder ever told in his tender years, 5 or 6 years old, that he might have to try to survive even as a slave? I had that miserable experience!
WHAT THE F**K IS IT WITH THESE SCHVATRZES?
I saw the Black Panther episode in Philadelphia live on Fox News. I saw the reporter and the interaction with the Black Panthers recorded by the Fox cameraman with voters as it happened. I remember the reporter though at the moment his name escapes me. It was incredible. A complete debacle. I see how the internet has scrubbed this story - really.
For this administration and this US Attorney General to deny what happened is the height of criminality. It’s the law....does anyone get that? What are we communist China where real information is censored?
I think the headline is correct. Tell me what about this article tells you differently. Below are the quotes from Holder in the article. The article is not inflamatory, it is Holder that is being inflamatory.
.......
“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subjected to that with what happened in Philadelphia, which was inappropriate .. .to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people,” said Holder, who is black.
Holder noted that his late sister-in-law, Vivian Malone Jones, helped integrate the University of Alabama.
“To compare that kind of courage, that kind of action, to say some Black Panther incident is of greater concern to us, historically, I think just flies in the face of history,” Holder said with evident exasperation.”
Does that hold true for Channon Christian and Christopher Newsome?
lol....we’re thinking along the same lines.
“I have a dream, where men will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”
I think Eric Holder needs to study Dr. Martin Luther King.
Dear sweet Jesus, that’s *funny*!
..and at about the same time /17 second difference : )
My Great-Grandfather was one of those who did, I guess nowadays that doesn’t count for anything.
And Congress is going to hold hearings against Holder when?
I wish that House of Rep committees (chaired by Repubs of course) would subpoena that racist black bastard Eric Holder over & over again. And when minority House demoRATs on the committee (especially the black House reps) repeatedly interrupt questioning of racist black bastard Holder by the committee Repubs, that the committee chairman would rule that person out of order and ban his or her sorry black ass from being in the hearing or on the committee. It is time to play hardball, aka WAR, with the socialist RAT bastards, black or white or any color, if they are a socialist demoRAT!
Obviously he’s never heard of Kennewick man
This racist clown, following in O. Hussein’s pattern of out-cartering Carter, is trying his hardest to make Janet Reno look competent in contrast... and succeeding.
Never ... the racist prick is protected by political correctness run amok. Barry the bastard is, unfortunately, fulfilling the racist predictions that said when blacks get in charge they push their socilaism and racial whine to the limit, ignoring the consequences. Why did America have to elect this particular racist bastard who appoints so many fellow racists? Why don’t democrats value American blacks who agree with the founders’ principles? Why is it the democrap party and their lapdancing lapdog media misrepresent whom and for what Martin Luther King was, and stood for? Is it because he was a republican? Could the racists crap from the DNC be that transparent?
