Someone on the radio said this morning – give Eric Holder, the new attorney general, six months, and see if he won’t be replaced.
What was all that talk about the country being a nation of cowards where the subject of race is concerned?
I agree with Rush Limbaugh today, he, Rush, is no coward. Look what his reference to race with regards to Donovan McNabe got him? Cries of racism!
Want to know who the racist is? Jeremiah Wright and ilks like him! And guess who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church pew, for 20 years and soaked all that in? Obama, you betcha!
And when Eric Holder says we are a nation of cowards, he is actually saying we are cowards because we don’t agree with his view of how the subject of race should be treated! And that is treat minorities and their rights with liberal kid gloves, and bend over backwards to address their perceived grievances.
I like Ward Connerly’s reaction to what Eric Holder said.
The old saying, “be careful of what you wish for,” applies here.
In characterizing the American people as “cowards” for not openly discussing their attitudes about race, the attorney general seems to be be anxious to provoke a dialogue about the subject. Yet, there is no evidence, based on his presidential campaign, that President Obama wants to have such a discussion.
Moreover, it is difficult to have such a discussion when some with differing views are harshly and publicly attacked for their views. For example, when asked about my initiatives to end race preferences, candidate Obama labeled them as those “divisive Ward Connerly initiatives.” Such characterization is hardly consistent with the view that we should openly put our views about race on public display.
I also believe the attorney general is out of step with the majority of Americans when he implies that the source of and solution to most social disparities is race. I believe most Americans are no longer content with this line of thinking and its ultimate conclusion of race-based solutions to resolve these disparities.
I am sure there are lots of black people like Ward Connerly who feel the way he does about Holder’s speech.
