Eric Holder Calls the United States a Nation of Cowards

Our new Attorney General gave a speech yesterday on race relations in the United States. According to this article he had something very interesting to say about Americans.

Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards

We are a nation of cowards. At least when it comes to race. He claims that while America is “largely integrated” we still “self-segregate” on the weekends. That makes us cowards evidently.

Let’s see; Barack Obama, Condi, Colin Power, Alberto Gonzalez, Eric Holder, Clarence Thomas, and the list of minorities who have achieved greatness in this country and in government goes on and on and yet we are cowards?

When will we ever reach the point in this country where a man is judged not by the color of his skin but by the content of his character? We can never reach that goal as long as we have people like Eric Holder who continue to see only the darkness and refuse to step into the light and realize that Americans are, to quote Barack Obama, a decent people?

People like Eric Holder just fan the flames on whatever racial prejudices still exist. I am not stupid, I understand that there is still racism out there but America has come a long way, I do believe that most Americans judge people by what is inside and not what is outside and I get offended when I hear this kind of bullshit.

The names listed above are just a portion of the proof that if you work hard you can achieve whatever goals you may have, regardless of your color.

Eric Holder would do well to remember that even as he was calling America a nation of cowards that 17,000 courageous Americans were just ordered by President Obama to go to Afghanistan to help protect Eric Holder’s right to say something as idiotic as he said yesterday.
