Black: The new color of privilegeEric Holder famously said last week in a speech commemorating Black History Month that America is "a nation of cowards" on matters of race.
Many observers were stunned. The attorney general is supposed to indict bad guys, crooks, criminals. We don't normally expect the nation's top law enforcement officer to indict America.
But that's what Eric Holder did. Then he explained the only way America could get over its cowardice problem would be to talk obsessively about race – presumably like he and his friends and the enlightened members of the Barack Obama administration do.
I think what surprised people most about this statement is the fact that it comes one month after a black president took office and a few weeks after Holder, a black man, took over running the Justice Department.
Most Americans, I believe, thought all the race-baiting rhetoric might have finally come to an end. Apparently they were wrong.
Eric Holder says we need to keep on talking about race – having frank conversations.
OK, I'll take the bait. Let's talk frankly about race.
During the last presidential election, Barack Obama, the first black presidential candidate nominated by the Democratic Party, won the largest percentage of white voters of any Democrat in a two-man race since 1976.
Some 43 percent of white votes went to Obama – 55 percent going to John McCain. Among younger white voters, 54 percent voted for Obama. To put that in perspective, in the past 30 years, no Democrat presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young white votes.
That suggests to me that white Americans are more than willing to put the racial divide behind them.
But what about blacks?
The sad reality is that 96 percent of black Americans voted for Obama – 96 percent!
Where is the evidence of white racism in the presidential vote?
Not only did white Americans vote willingly for a black man for president, they voted for one with no qualifications – a man who has never run a business, even a small one, never met a payroll, never held an executive job, in or out of government, or even managed a business for someone else.
So when are Barack Obama and Eric Holder and the rest of their divisive, America-hating gang of race hucksters going to give white America a break?
Remember just weeks ago, Obama economic adviser Robert Reich was warning against using any money from the so-called "stimulus package" to create jobs for "white construction workers."
If we're a nation of cowards on matters of race, as Eric Holder suggests, it's because too few of us are willing to point out the new institutional anti-white racism imposed by government.
