WASHINGTON -- Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues…..Even when people mix at the workplace or after work social events, Holder argued, many Americans in their free time are still segregated inside what he called "race-protected cocoons."

Holder's speech echoed President Barack Obama's landmark address when he urged the nation to break "a racial stalemate we've been stuck in for years" and bemoaned the "chasm of misunderstanding that exists between the races."

So….who do you suppose Mr. Holder will be hanging out with this weekend? Do you think he'll search out a group of white supremacists in a sports bar and engage them in a conversation about how they should adjust their thinking to embrace the black community? I don’t think so. Holder and other prominent black politicians and “leaders” fail to understand what really brings people together… believing in and sharing the same principles and interests, morally, ethically and intellectually. I would not invite a group of white supremacists to a weekend barbeque anymore than I would invite black supremacists. I would not frequent a gay bar looking for companionship because I am not gay. I would not look forward to an evening at the local sportsman’s club because I neither hunt nor fish.

Holder and other self-righteous "leaders" like him want the world to believe that they have been oppressed by the white community, whose job it is to repent and make reparations—not because he believes it, but because guilt and the fear of being labelled a racist are big motivators in getting people to do what you want them to do. And what he wants us to do is accept this President and his administration without question. Only a racist would question Obama.

In her senior thesis at Princeton, Michele Obama wrote:
“As I enter my final year a Princeton, I find myself striving for many of the same goals as my White classmates—acceptance to a prestigious graduate school or a high-paying position in a successful corporation…” She cited the University’s conservative values as a likely cause. – Daily Princtonian

Would she have been happier had she not achieved these “White” goals?
