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.
... until Holder stepped in and dropped the complaint (and therefore the impending conviction) against the NBP and two of the individuals. Holder isn't reluctant to prosecute the remaining indvidual. He sought and obtained an injuction against him (Shabaz) preventing him from displaying a weapon at any Philadelphia polling place for three years ...
... but those actions are already illegal under the law. So why bother? Holder has not only refused to uphold the law but also dismissed convictions under the law for his people.
Holder isn't a thug by omission; Holder is a thug by commission.
.............I will go to bed tonight dreaming Mark Levin was a Senator on the panel and got to cross examine Holder!
We need some Mark Levin types in the Senate who will challenge these marxist/socialist’s! I’m tired of milk-toast gentlemanly responses/questions! Make em squirm! Make em dread coming before Congress! Make em lose sleep! Right now, it’s a walk in the park! Let Paul Revere ride again! Let’s throw a few hundred tons of tea into the harbor in Boston again! When is enough enough?!
Sorry, that is obviously a WHITE woman, and to be totally ignored by Eric Holder and the rest of the racists in DC!!!! >:-(
That's pretty strong words to a ten plus year FReeper, especially because that was the title of the article and the FReeper didn't make it up.
Holder may not have said those exact words but he refuses to answer whether it's true or not that one of his assistants told a room full of DOJ lawyers to prosecute only civil rights cases involving black victims.
EDITORIAL: Holder ill serves his ‘people’
excerpt:
In short, race comes first. It makes allies, not adversaries, of black criminals and prosecutors. On Tuesday, Mr. Holder again dodged questions asking him to deny that Deputy Assistant Attorney General Julie Fernandes had told her division to prosecute only civil rights cases involving black victims, not black perpetrators. He refused to release relevant documents about the decision-making behind dropping most of the Black Panther case. For two years, Justice has pressed for explicitly race-conscious legal action.
I believe the title of this article pretty much accurately reflects Holder and the appointed thugs working for him. I also believe you should do some beggin-your-pardons to smoothsailing.
“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.”
_______________________________________________________________
Holder’s attitude is precisely why Obama appointed him attorney general. They both dance to the same anti-white tune. Holder has made their agenda brazenly and chillingly clear.
It’s hardly a shocking revelation. Anyone who has read the Obama/Ayers book “Dreams From My Father” has no doubts at all that since he was in high school, Obama has been obsessively anti-white. His screwy mother planted in him the credo that blacks are to be worshipped; Frank Marshall Davis provided the ‘whites are the hated enemy’ indoctrination; with his b***s in her fist, Michelle led him to Jeremiah Wright - who groomed, trained, instilled - and then blessed Obama’s hatred of the white race, to the point that Obama - like Michelle, like Holder - wallows in a sanctimonious anti-white agenda.
And now he sits in the Oval. And Holder rules the DOJ. And if you’re not pleased with that arrangement, you will be eviscerated with their charges of racism. On Tuesday Holder as much as crowed their agenda: it’s payback time for the blue-eyed devils and their spawn.
LOL
Thread winner!
Will there EVER come a time when these crazy bass turds say or do something that DOESN’T take us to a new low????
Holder is an obvious racist fool.
This SOB ought to be disbarred
From the late 1800’s to the 1960s or so we had the “separate but equal” doctrine in place to some extent where (supposedly) blacks and whites would have the exact same facilities available to them. Holder, and the entire Obama regime, believe we are no different today where were are separate and not equal.
They want this to continue, except discriminate against whites, Christians, etc., for their own political gain. They are no difference than the racists and segregationists of the past.
And while we are at it we may as well use a very large broom and sweep out the rest of the RATS and other scoundrels in this evil regime including those 37 CZARS who are not accountable to anyone.
Yea right!
Holders disgusting words betray him as incompetent to hold the office of attorney general.
He is a disgrace as a human being, as an American, and as a “black man.”
By the way, except for his tan complexion and kinky hair, he looks like a white guy to me.
Actually, he has mostly white features.
He probably got a lot of static from the darker — more “pure” blooded blacks growing up.
Down deep he is self hating and probably wishes he could be white.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking he speaks for most black people, anymore than the guilt ridden idiot’s in the lame stream media speak for most whites.
It goes without saying that ANYONE in Holder’s unbalanced and biased condition is unfit to hold any sort of power, in a civilized society, governed by the rule of law.
He needs to go!
STE=Q
Mr. Holder, you must resign effective immediately! This kind of “excuse making racism” runs counter to the American people as a whole and since you have made it clear you are not going to defend the Constitutional Rights of all Americans, irregardless of their “race,” you are in violation of your oath of office.
Resign immediately!
Rat fec...uhh...FACE, Yes. But don’t drag his mother into the fray. I’m sure she tried but even well intended mothers make mistakes.
When did we cease electing leaders? I have been greatly disappointed in some of the Republicans and disgusted by the democrats.
We are destrying ourselves.
...”tired of milk-toast gentlemanly responses/questions.”
That attitude is long gone. What we increasingly have is a SOP of go along-get along. It ain’t for nufin that before RINO was but a glimmer, someone coined the descriptors republicrats and democrans.
