Meet Gary Graham - racist coward, according to our Attorney General.
Maybe because people like Eric Holder are so preoccupied with race that every waking thought is consumed with it? And they insist on inflicting into every thought and daily conversation within the black community a general and constant grievance-addled invective that fosters a victimhood mindset? Just a thought.
So…let me get this straight. If I’m a racist coward because I don’t want to talk about race all the time, don’t want to even think about it, just wish all racism would go away, and everybody just get along as if we we’re all just human beings…and truly do want to judge people not based on skin color, but on the content of their character… Does that mean Dr. Martin Luther King was also a racist? If he were here today, and repeated those words about ‘content of character’ …would Eric Holder call Dr. King a coward?
But you, Mr. Holder, and those who share your views, are the ones who perpetrate racism in America - by never shutting up about it! Yes, we Americans are proud of our ‘melting pot’ - we are proud of our national motto, E Pluribus Unum, “out of many, one”. We are proud of the idea of America, the most brilliant and good and moral proposition ever submitted to the human race: That all people can assemble in this one nation, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, creed…all men and women can come here and be free. We can pursue our dreams to the utmost and are free to enjoy the fruits of our efforts and talent and determination, unimpeded by coercion or kings. We’re not white Americans, or black Americans, or Hispanic Americans…
We’re Americans.
So… if Mr. Holder is calling me a racist and a coward…isn’t he’s calling Dr. Martin Luther King one, as well?
At least I’m in good company.
If this is being a "racist coward" - please count me in, too.
Its a touchy subject. I'm torn between what I know is right-forgetting the whole thing and just letting go and anger stemming from the fact that people act like racism doesn't exist anymore. Even though it clearly does. I want it to go away. But that's not going to happen until people realize that its still here. If you want to be technical, Dr. King talked about racism all the time. Doesn't mean he was racist. Both sides are angry and hurting. African Americans feel they should get some compensationfor what happened. Money cant make it go away. So when my friends tell me oh its not fair that blacks get advantages when it comes to colleges blah blab I'm like well now you feel the frustration their forefathers felt. Why are you complaining? You cant just get away with it, just walk away like nothing happened. those minority considerations were put there for a reason. If they werent there, minorities wpuldnt get half a chance at all. Because lets face it; minorities domt have thr same oppurtunities in a majority white country. That's human vindictiveness at work. . However, I also see my friends' point of view. They shouldn't get blamed for what their ancestors did.
