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.
Is he stereotyping? Is he chastising a whole race? Awwwww he is a wasist! Of course the majority of blacks feel as he does.
Having two active FR accounts is also a no-no. Say buh-bye to this one.
Holder is indeed a criminal. The law applies to ALL, not just to those whom the DOJ considers, in their infinite wisdom, ‘worthy.’ THE NERVE.
Holder is a fool. Is this what Stuyvesant High School produces? This fool?
A black person sees a noose or hears a word like "niggardly," and we're supposed to take it very, very seriously and feel extremely sorry for them. But no matter WHAT happens to whites, they're just "whiners."
Amen. Great post. It’s about time whites started waking up and realizing these things. If we don’t do something now, our grandchildren will be spitting on our graves.
I wonder if Stedman views my wife as one of his people.
FUEH.

You’ve got that right! LOL!
Thought I’d ping you to this post too, Conan was a fraud.
Thanks!
Yes, and remain silent on crimes like “The Wichita Horror”..
Holder would do well to read the Bible and the history of the Jews up through the Holocaust.
Why is Holder so niggardly dispensing justice?
If Holder read either the Bible or the Constitution, he'd never have said he was supporting "HIS PEOPLE" regarding the New Black Panthers case. One can only imagine how he feels about "other people."
Now, now, we mustn’t denigrate him lest it hurt his self esteem..
Holder is both a racist and incompetent with his ‘git back at Whitey’ view. He defiles his position as US AG.
