You mean don't you that race ought to be irrelevant, but it is not. Hey I want justice in this case as much as anyone else. But I know when you make a rash decision before all the facts come out, things happen.

And the story is changing from day to day and by witnesses. I am white, big deal, if it turns out this police shot and killed this young man, and he is guilty. Let him pay. No free passes for me, because someone is the same color that I am

Let an investigation take place, without rushing to judgement. Only time I say, people don't rush to judgement, is when their credibility is on the line, and they are being investigated.

Clear what Holder is doing. How bout wanting the truth of the matter to come out, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, even if it is negative for either one.

I also notice being the Attorney General, he seems to pick just what cases he is going to get involved in, and a whole lot more you can bet your life on that he will not.

If the police is guilty, he will pay, I have no problem with this, but please let the all the facts come out and listen to everything objectively.

No, you are. The only time you talk about Eric Holder and race is when a national conversation on race starts or when he is at a freaking NAACP meeting where they are talking about race.

Thats like going to a football game and telling all the people there that they are obsessed with football.

Eric Holder is the Attorney General of the United States. Doesn't matter what color he is. But by saying "“But I am also a black man" he is also keeping the hate ....... towards white people alive.
Its not "keeping the hate alive" to speak about something that is happening.


If you dont talk about Cancer, it will still be there the next day, you cant shhhh it away.

Give me a freaken break here, your pretty smart. More or less, Holder is saying, he has already made his mind up. Without a court of law.

He has not helped out in racial indifferences. He actually I believe makes them worse.

What does it say for our Attorney General, when his mind is already made up. What does it say, to those who want a rush to Judgement. You already know that answer.

It is ok to speak about something that is happening, but not to inject your own feelings on the matter, it is to be fair and objective, and clearly he is not.

My comment had nothing to do with Eric Holder, it had to do with the flawed argument that racism will die simply by not talking about it.

Do you believe that to be true, yes or no ????

further more, if you have beef in this forum, please take it up with that person, not me.

The U.S. is obsessed with race and has been since its inception.

Seems like in today's world, there's nothing wrong with Women openly campaigning on, lobbying, and enacting laws based on the fact that they are Women. Just about all female and Hispanic politicians throw the fact that they are Women or Hispanic, respectively, in our face on a daily basis. Women seem to be obsessed with sex more than any other group in obsessed with their race, sex, or nationality...

Why is it that Whites AND Blacks in this country can not stand it when politicians talk about their race and backgrounds? In context, Mr Holder was speaking to and trying to connect with a minority audience in the same way Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, Hillary Clinton, Michele Obama, Wendy Davis, etc constantly talk about women's issues, being a women, and being a mother....

Well, at least we know he's impartial.



So, when is the attorney General of the United States of America planing to visit Officer Wilson?
Will Holder reassure Officer Wilson that justice will be upheld for all?
Don't hold your breath for that. Holder already has a track record. His thumb is always on the scale.

Oh, really? You're not too brainwashed, are you. Just a little, I would say. Brainwashed and racist.
