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.
Holder graduated from Columbia U., both undergrad and law school. What an f__ing surprise!
just more typical libtard mentality of emotionalism, subjectivism, and relativism.
Bathturd?
I see that Holder has not even a nodding acquaintance with Irish history or that of Eastern Europe to name just two.
To paraphrase the Ronaldus Maximus - it’s just that what they know is so wrong.
Union soldiers who fought and died to end slavery were mostly white.
Do their descendants believe it was not enough?
Touché.
“Its not that they’re wrong, its just that they know so much that isn’t so.”
OMG I hate this bastard....
” ... my people,” said Holder, who is black.”
If anyone else had said that, the MSM would be howling for their resignation.
IF I were to choose to make a case about certain folks being beyond stupid, Holder would be my prime example.
What school actually gave this clown a law degree?
How much did he have to pay to sleaze himself into the school?
How many rules were violated in order to give this clearly sub-par intellect a place in law school?
Can we say “quota” in this company?
All of the blacks that I have the pleasure of knowing have real degrees, ones which took intellect and drive. All are far, far above Holder in intellect and morals. None of those folks hold degrees are in law. Makes one wonder about law school “standards”.
Clearly, no.
Its no longer about justice. Its about race hate and keeping one's spot at the slop trough.
What is the obsession with this administration and race? It sounds like a good psychiatrist might be able to help.
Perish the thought.
I like to attend 4th of July parades. It seems the angry black racists do not consider this their country and won’t go.
OMG.
Our number system doesn't go high enough to adequately capture the level of stupidity we're talking about here.
I’m a good part Irish. And Scottish. Some Cherokee Indian in there too, as well as Huguenot. Possibly Jewish. Plenty of persecuted minorities there.
Sorry Holder, homey don’t play that.
