Members of the Project 21 black leadership network are appalled that Attorney General Eric Holder used the race card to block congressional inquiries into the Justice Department’s silence and possible mishandling of a race-fueled voting rights case.
“Eric Holder is sending a consistent and unfortunate message that we should expect justice to be applied only on the terms set by him and President Obama. This disregard for the rule of law is made worse by divisive rhetoric that is anathema to his sworn duties to uphold our Constitution as Attorney General,”said Project 21′s Jerome Hudson. “Holder’s apparent willingness to turn a blind eye to equal justice is one more example of how radical and out of touch this presidency is with the American people.”
Holder engaged in racial politics during a subcommittee hearing of the House Appropriations Committee on March 1. Representative John Culberson (R-TX) brought up that the U.S. Department of Justice was uncooperative with investigators from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights regarding allegations that political appointees intervened in a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party charged with restricting the access of white voters to a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008. Holder harshly criticized scrutiny of the case,calling it “inappropriate”to compare this case to past government defenses of civil rights,adding,“I think it does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people.”
“Holder’s comment about ‘my people’illustrates how the Attorney General sees the world through a color-coded lens,”said Project 21 Fellow Deneen Borelli.
I for one have had it up to here with this racist administration and the chickenhearted buzzards who refuse to call them out on this despicable stance! From holder to his association over the years with radical hating racists,the President always manages in the end to show his true colors. Slam his Leftist policies,you’re a racist! Disagree with his complete incompetency in foreign policy,you’re a racist. Point out the open faced lies about cutting the deficit in his budget,you’re a racist! In other words,try to have a civil discourse with any radical leftist in this country today using facts and figures,you are a racist!
Debate and civil discourse. It’s where ideas come from! It’s a forum to,if not fix a problem,at least address it and come up with some consensus to at least try! As such,debate or discussion can hurt one’s feelings and/or illicit some rather harsh reactions. My point is until we as a people can discuss stuff without hate,until we can cast aside our own ideologies,our biases,etc. and approach a subject with open minds,there cannot be fixes. As a society we must work together. Listening is a fine art. Learning and changing one’s mind due to constructive criticism,and I want to emphasize that,constructive criticism is a sign of maturity and leadership. Can you even remotely understand this view Mr. President,or is your head stuck so far up your elitist ass that you as most politicians are too far above us mortals to bother worrying about it? From my little part of the world,it sure appears that way! One thing for sure in my view. You and your administration have done more to set back racial relations in this country than any other administration in my lifetime!
Debate is imperative for this country to survive. Criticism is good,provided it is true! As I said,debate must be accompanied by open minds. This must be conducted by using the Truth and Facts! This must be done by educating yourselves! Keep an open mind,but dig up everything you can from both sides. Then make an informed decision. As we go forward,we will be called fear mongers and worse! WEAR IT AS A BADGE OF HONOR. Radicals of any persuasion FEAR the truth and facts,so shout it out as loudly as possible. This is our country. Love for country and the ideals it was founded on IS NOT HATE as the hard left keeps saying. Opposing bad policy IS NOT RACISM as we are charged with! Fight the BIG LIE with the TRUTH! Our country depends on this!
