The rest of society is getting past homogeneity, which means that antiquated laws and similar ways of thinking will be gone in short order. Stay behind if you wish.
So then, according to your post above, you would agree that self-segregating organizations such as these are antiquated and their ways of thinking should be gone in short order?
- National Association for Advancement of Colored People
- Congressional Black Caucus
- Black Entertainment Television
Etc, etc.

Holder's a lightweight just trying to stir the pot to get the heat off him and his co conspirators. This has got to be the worst cabinet in the last 40 years.

Now, that's just silly. You wanna outlaw the St. Patrick's Day parade? Black history month, Miss Black America, etc. are ethnic celebrations. I have yet to hear a black person complain about the Pulaski Day parade, Polish Constitution Day parade or Cinco de Mayo. Or B'nai B'rith.

And a black mayor hosted the Redneck festival. Get outside your comfort zone.

Sure thing. I'll get outside whatever imaginary "comfort zone" you think I live in. May I suggest the congress start a "Congressional White Caucus", since there is already a "Congressional Black Caucus". Sound good to you?

He's just setting the stage for more reparations by claiming we're cowards.

The current mortgage bill and ACORN money is a stealth form of reparations.

If electing Barack Obama President and confirming Eric Holder as Attorney General makes the US "cowardly" when it comes to race, what does it say about the rest of the world?

Mr. Holder's foot is firmly in his mouth. And his head is definitely in a place it does not belong.

Hey, where's all the uproar and righteous indignation from the lefties?

Remember when Graham said we were a nation of whiners?

Did it ever occur to some of the kneejerks that Holder wasn't talking solely about White Americans?
