Reverse discrimination against whites has just begun, according to Attorney General Eric Holder. Now, the exploitation of Trayvon Martin's death has thrown the cycle of racial resentment and favoritism into overdrive.
There has been much poisonous rhetoric following Trayvon Martin's death, and more is sure to come. It is hard to imagine that any other current topic could result in racial madness exceeding that tragedy. Nonetheless, an exceptionally ominous and instructive remark was recently made by Attorney General Eric Holder -- a remark more outlandish than any heard so far in our national conversation about Martin.
Attorney General Holder recently addressed the question of affirmative action, and for how long it would be required. He answered, stunningly, that reverse discrimination has only just begun: "Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices," Holder said. "The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin[.] ... When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?"
We see in these remarks the soil out of which rises the bitter fruit of racial resentment. Holder's attitude is best summed up as the elite victim mentality. The belief is one of perpetual entitlement, fueled by bitterness, and given the stamp of official approval by politicians at the highest levels of national office. The Trayvon Martin upheaval is made possible by this carefully cultivated attitude, which exists within all income levels. Whether it's under the guise of injustice, inequality, underrepresentation, or white supremacy, the effect of the attitude is the same: sheer resentment towards the majority and its institutions.
Not all minorities share this attitude, while many non-minorities do. For instance, Professor William B. Eimicke of Columbia University supports a lawsuit against New York City because the city doesn't have enough black firefighters. Eimicke, who is

If we are all going to get along, good deal, lets get along.
If we're not, good deal again.
No more dodging who's causing what and no more not facing the reality of the present situation.
About time for the truth to surface instead of PC bullsh** that ain't doing anybody any good.
If legal equality on every basis and affirmative action (Equality plus) doesn't mean enough to blacks, so be it, glad to know from my standpoint.
Oh, and another thing, people who act right (lawful, moral, etc), I like them, black or white.
People who don't act right (unlawful, immoral, etc), black or white, I don't like them.
Do you seriously believe that anyone in D.C. will actually do anything?
The GOP could win every seat in the house and senate up for grabs, and the presidency also and still not have the guts to take on the illegalities committed by this kenyan and his minions.
I believe this entire Trayvon Martin/Zimmerman excercise is an act to reunite the blacks behind Obama for the upcoming election.
Blacks were dissillusioned with Obama, and were saying they wouldn’t come out to vote. This is the response to that IMO.
It’s a diversion taking the lousey job Obama has done off the radar screen replacing it with race issues, as well reuniting the blacks that were disillusioned, and saying they weren’t going to vote in the upcoming election.
It’s a twofer.
God put us all in different places for a reason. I don't think different races can get along for a protracted time but then, neither can Communists and Conservatives get along under the same roof.
When are we going to get what we are entitled to??? When will we get what we deserve????
You are not entitled to anything. You do not deserve anything. You EARN it.... let’s start the discussion there....
These conflicts are real but have no bearing on my original question.
Funny that because I find the black race not unattractive, especially from the North East area of Africa. Hell every liberal white woman wanted to jump O-Bomb-Us's bones when he ran in '08. So I don't think it is a superficial looks thing, it is something else....
Oh. "reparations", exacted against people, some of whom had no ancestors here for any of that, some of whom fought to stop it, and a diminishing number of whom (the longer this goes on, the smaller the number will become) would ardently oppose such today.
In the meantime, the race-baiters herd the 'faithful' carefully on their Government plantation, keeping them in bondage to the handout and the scam?
It has nothing to do with who is a slave, and everything to do with who is 'Massa'.
Tyranny, plain and simple, only made more palatable to some by lies.
Its all about reparations and revenge for perceived transgressions from today’s society for things committed 100 years ago. Keep it up Holder and co., and you will bring it to the wrong doorstep.
There are only two races: IN Adama or IN Christ. Period. The rest is all satanic strife.
I believe that you are exactly right. They are not interested in equality, they are interested in supremacy. My question is why do we not assert the same benefits for Hispanics who are now the largest minority. Hispanics should hold many of the positions that are now held by Blacks. Blacks act as if they believe they are 50% of the population rather than 13%. They demand basically half of all positions be held by Blacks. It is time for us to help the Hispanics take their “rightful” place in our society and give half of the slots currently held by Blacks to Latinos. Sauce for the goose.....
“Holder is the one good reason to work/vote for the winning GOP candidate even it it is he who can’t be named...”
Agreed, Eric Holder is with out a doubt an anti-white racist and corrupt to boot.
HE is the one who would probably really go off the rails in a second Obama term. (GOD FORBID!)
“lawful, moral” is YOUR definition, cracker!
You can’t expect minorities/blacks to live up to cracker standards of behavior!
You’re just using that as an excuse because you hate the relatively higher melanin content in some people’s skin!

Sad thing is, romney as a candidate will have the same effect for many whites who are borderline.
I hear a lot of folks spouting off opinions on this case. I refuse to play the game. The facts are being completely manipulated here and we may never know the whole truth.
On top of it, the jury pool for a potential trial is being corrupted so badly we may never experience true "discovery" should it ever get to that point.
All part of the plan I suppose, as then the narrative the left wants can be pumped as the truth by their media dogs.
“Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin[.] ... When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”...
The answer is when they stop playing the race card, get off their “entitlement” mentality and work for the benefits, that is when the get them. Just because they were born black does NOT ENTITLE them to ANYTHING. WORK for it and you will EARN RESPECT!
What has happened? I'm just glad that today, I don't live within 200 miles of any African Americans; no crime, no problems. I couldn't imagine dealing with what they bring to society on a day to day basis; what has went wrong?
It is hard to see how we can survive much longer as a free people unless these massive government powers and unaccountable tyranny-minded power blocks are dramatically defeated and reversed, soon. Greece is not our eventual operational model. The Soviet Union is!
Somehow, I can’t shake the feeling that there is something BIG and EVIL being planned, and race is just one of the logs on the fire now being stoked.
Something wicked this way comes.
