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.

Wow, he never should have taken the Oath of Office if he did not intend to uphold the Constitution for everyone.

We know the guy is a tyrant racist when he achieves the highest level of Presidential service to a half-black then claims blacks are kept down. He was never a slave and eats lobster for dinner but then complains blacks are held back.

He is nothing but a two-bit racist.

Seriously, did he just give the green light to “his people” to commit racial violence against whites?

Is he saying that he will refuse to prosecute?

Over and over and over again....the reason why it is important...nay, vital...nay, critical to remove the current stain on the Presidency of the US is shown.

I'll agree and wholeheartely support the immediate removal of the little tin god from office. I will lose all patience if I have to wait until the elections upcoming in 2012...a very LONG way away. But I'll grit my teeth and swallow my bile if I must.

But the black racist thug now sitting in the chair of the Attorney General is a prime reason (as is the idiot VP, and the felonious murderess Sec of State) to eliminate not only the little tin god, but all of the members of the administration he gathered through the sewers, cesspools, and insane asylums of this country.

Throw out the little tin god...and these filthy, vile, criminal "things" go out at the same time.

Nov of 2012 simply cannot get here quickly enough.

As a 53 year old white male, I can assure you that in my lifetime I’ve experienced more racial injustice than widdle Eric has in his lifetime.

Rules, laws, oaths, and constitutions mean nothing to leftists because they view their ad hoc ability to make decisions to trump any rule or promise made in the past.

Uhhh....yes and yes.

In 2012, anyone who votes for the current administration is committing the felony of "Attempted Aggrevated Assault"

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”.

Where are General Powell and Candoleeza Rice (the CFR) when we need them to say something?

“He is nothing but a two-bit racist.”

The black version of Robert Byrd and fits in nicely with his democrat socialist colleagues.

Holder needs to be removed now. This administration is full of damaged people who are angry with white America. Their policies are destructive.

Anyone still wonder why the “n-word” hasn’t disappeared from our lexicon?

****All of the blacks that I have the pleasure of knowing....****

Holder is digging into empty pockets.

The American people rushed to the polls in 2008 to try to squash their White Guilt. This is the thanks they get.

So myself, and my children, all born AFTER THE 60’S are going to have to “suffer” for things that my parents/grandparents didn’t even do?

I don’t effing think so.
