Rotten liberal ideology in action right here folks. The scum and the scourge of this nation.
We're supposed to look the other way when blacks commit crimes, because it's our fault.

He put his hand firmly on the scales of Justice when he pre-judged the case.

Astounding times we live in. These people are filled with Arrogance, that they should so blatantly ignore our Justice System and our Laws.
I will admire Holder when he goes to Federal prison for what he believes in.

You don't know much about history. Slavery has existed since the beginning of time, and it still exists. The Muslims ran the Atlantic slave trade, not white Americans. but, America ended slavery. Why? Because from the beginning, we knew it was wrong.

Read some history, and become "unbrainwashed," because you are extremely brainwashed.

So, to translate: You have already decided that Brown was shot because he was black? This is about race, as far as you're concerned. I guess the officer was supposed to do nothing, and let Brown beat him and take his gun (and probably murder him)? But, in your racist "judgement," that would be justice because "whites" enslaved blacks a couple of hundred years ago, and some (Democrats, mind you) committed despicable crimes under the banner of the KKK.

You must be a miserable person holding all this hatred inside. But it doesn't seem to occur to you that Holder's words and actions do tend to advance more racism, and it works both ways. He is fomenting hatred on both sides.

Well then, he should resign.

Imagine a white guy basically saying that he can't be impartial because he was once pulled over for no reason by a black cop 40 years ago?

So because Holder stated the obvious, that he's a Black man, and because he identified and understood with how his audience was feeling at the moment because of his own personal experiences, you think that he should now resign? That something is wrong and immoral about doing what he did and saying what his said while addressing an audience who was upset over similar issues?

Seems like you all are crying and over reacting over a non-issue...

EH comes out of the closet and auditions for the character, "captain obvious'.
