WASHINGTON (AP) – Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing unresolved racial issues.
In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month,
Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.
“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,” said Holder, nation’s first black attorney general.
Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but “we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race.”
He urged people of all races to use Black History Month as a chance for frank talk about racial matters.
“It is an issue we have never been at ease with and, given our nation’s history, this is in some ways understandable,” Holder said. “If we are to make progress in this area, we must feel comfortable enough with one another and tolerant enough of each other to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us.”
He told Justice Department employees they have a special responsibility to advance racial understanding.
I am and never have been a racist. In fact, the only racists I have ever known were Black, Mexican, Asian or Middle Eastern. Obama and his minions are always harping about racism, they are the racists.
I am not a hyphenated American. I don’t describe or introduce myself as a European-American, I am an American. As long as these people, all of them insist on being hyphenated, they are not true Americans.
Our neighborhood has whites, blacks, Mexicans and Asians. We have friends over from time to time and they may be just about any race you can imagine. Meanwhile you never see any whites or Hispanics or Asians going to a black family’s house or any other combination you would care to think of.
Make a choice folks, are you African, Mexican, Asian, Indian or American? Drop the damn hyphen, if you don’t want to be real Americans, I suggest you go home. Planes leave just about every fiftreen minutes. If you choose to be Americans, I welcome you to my home, (America) with open arms and heart.
