Eric Holder: Americans Should Not Be 'Color Blind,' But 'Color Brave'
2014-07-16
[BREITBART] Attorney General Eric Inaction Jackson Holder
... aka Mister Fast and Furious...
 encouraged Americans not to forget race while working for justice and equality in their country.

"As it stands, our society is not yet color blind -- nor should it be -- given the disparities that still afflict and divide us." Holder explained, "We must be color brave, and we must never forget that all are made better and more prosperous if all are given equal opportunities."

Holder made his remarks during a speech at Howard University on Tuesday for the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Civil Rights Act.

"We must take into account not only the considerable steps forward we've seen over the last 50 years, but the entirety of the experience that people of color have faced," he said, calling for Americans to "talk frankly about inequality" in order to eradicate it.

Holder called on Congress to update the housing and lending laws to cover sexual orientation and gender as well as strengthening workplace protections.

#21  'Color Brave' = Black Panthers attitude.

#20  Glad I didn't offend too many. I know there are some good people with a much more gentle soul than I have.

These remarks just drive me to a fit of rage. An openly racist man pushing a racist ideology accusing everyone of being racist and having a large portion of the left nodding their heads dumbly is just too much.

Thanks for not sinktrapping me mods. ;)

#19  Ordinarily I take a dim view of the "F" word. I must admit that I myself have been know to use it but I at least try to avoid it. There are times, however, when that one word communicates a level of anger and contempt that is appropriate for the likes of Eric Holder.

In fact, I think if you analyze his words, if you cut through all the lofty and politically correct double speak that is typical of modern progressivescommunists, you find that what he's really saying is "Fuck you, white man."

For that reason I endorse DarthVader's rant on this post.

#17  Does Holder have a specific color in mind (rhetorical question)?

"our society is not yet color blind -- nor should it be" Eric Holder

Wonder which view history will favor in the long run.

#15  Why don't you enforce the law and leave the race-baiting to Sharpton?

#14  Does "color Brave" include sticking up for white people?

#13  Justice Scalia: "the way to end racial discrimination is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

What a simple concept.

#12  To Eric Holder,

Many of us have it tough. Some tougher than others. 50+ years of entitlements are enough. Racial preferences for ANYTHING is wrong.

#11  Ok Mr. Holder, let me tru a color brave statement. Consider why the most important power positions in the federal goverment with police powers and national security, DOJ DHS the National Security Advisor and the true power behind the President, ValJar and the President himself, all share the same racial heritage. Why is that? Because they were previously acknowledged as the best in their field? .....or was Champ practicing racial preference himself?

#10  "talk frankly about inequality"

Translation: You will sit on your hands while we will do all the talking. Also known as the encounter-group mode of discussion.

#7  all are made better and more prosperous if all are given equal opportunities.

Is he signaling the end of affirmative action?

#6  Careful what you ask for, Mr. Affirmative Action Attorney General.

If we were "Color Brave," we would have no problem discharging incompetents (and their bosses) irrespective of their skin color.

#5  South Africa was "Color-brave" at promoting minority rights, they called it something else back then...

#4  Is Eric Holder actually "black?" I mean he's lighter skinned than my father-in-law from Italy was, and nearly as light-skinned as me: and I'm ethnically German.

It's all such a weird cultural projection.

#2  I see the "Racial Anus" has spoken again; Eric have you been taking "Jesse Jackson Lessons" ?

#1  Fuck you, you stupid racist bastard.

Eat a dick and choke on your own bell-end.

I'm so sick of these race baiting fucktards calling normal people racist to shut them up or to advance their own radical and racist agenda.
