... , a policy prescription that translates to blind support for phony "profiling" studies and illegal immigration. Holder therefore feels justified in devoting significant Justice Department resources toward traditional progressive causes : • Police stop and arrest blacks at disproportionate rates because of racism • Blacks are disproportionately in prison because of racism • Blacks are failing in school because of racist inequities in school funding • The black poverty rate is the highest in the country because of racism • Blacks were given mortgages that they couldn’t ...
Another upbraiding for “Nation of cowards” Holder

... Posted by Mike @ 12:07 PM Friday, 20 February 2009 National conversation on race? Anytime you whining professional-victim jerks decide you’re ready for one , you cowards: Is he nuts? Leave aside for a moment Holder’s purely decorative call for a “frank” conversation about race. The Clinton-era Conversation also purported to be frank, and we know what that meant: a one-sided litany of white injustices. Please raise your hand if you haven’t heard the following bromides about “the racial matters that continue to divide us” more times than you can count: Police stop and arrest ...

... " for its failure to honestly deal with race relations. He claimed that most Americans avoid discussion of lurking racial issues. He went on to justify a significant expenditure of Justice Department resources in pursuit of the traditional straw-men : • Investigating whether police stop and arrest blacks at disproportionate rates because of racism • Whether blacks are disproportionately in prison because of racism • Whether blacks are failing in school because of racist inequities in school funding • Whether the black poverty rate is the highest in the country because of ...
No Offense, Officer -- It's Just Your Profession That's Racist

... and you will hear police commanders intently and passionately debating how best to deploy officers to disrupt ongoing crime patterns; race never comes up. When liberals and left-wingers ponderously refer to race, as in Attorney General Eric Holder s admonition this February that we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race, or as in Obama s observation in his Wednesday prime-time press conference that race remains a factor in the society, they mean: racism and skin color.

... will hear police commanders intently and passionately debating how best to deploy officers to disrupt ongoing crime patterns; race never comes up. And those crime patterns are reported to them most often by law-abiding residents of inner-city neighborhoods who plead in precinct-community meetings for more police protection against drug dealers and thugs, as I have witnessed numerous times. When liberals and left-wingers ponderously refer to race as in Attorney General Eric Holder s admonition this February that we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each ...
