Its interesting to me that this guy Holder chooses the word coward. I mean, America is 70% white and we elected a black man to the highest office of govt., which is historic in and of itself. Now, when you add to it that this black man is a nobody with no experience and a marxist world-view, his election is beyond historic. And, I'm supposed to believe that we are cowards? if anything, we are unbelievably bold.
Some in the media are forced to be cowards for fear of Big Al, or other groups coming down on them. Political correctness and playing it safe has the media watered down. In my local newspaper you can always tell when a crime was committed by a minority because there is no hint of skin tone when describing the suspect at large. They will give height, body type, age, hair color if you are lucky. If it is a white male then it is reported like "suspect was described as a white male 20-25 years old, about 6' with a medium build and brown hair, wearing blue jeans and a black coat". Race is usually not mentioned when the suspect is a minority. In this case I would agree that the media is playing it safe and "cowardly". Anyone else notice this in their local paper?
he's half "white" last i checked
race in this country is comedy
half black dude gets elected POTUS and he's some sort of black messiah now
anybody remember the early days of his campaign when the talking head black leaders that do their race a disservice were calling him "NOT BLACK ENOUGH"
guess that's cause the whole plan had been hillary but than they had to switch sides once they saw white boys in iowa backed him
Mr Holder is correct....Most of you Americans did not speak up when blacks were getting the short end of the stick...and now that the target has shifted toward the white male, most are too brainwashed by Political Correctness to call it like it is....Im black and will tell you right you...you white men are in trouble...and you don't want to be anywhere near the cities when the proverbial shyt hits the fan in regards to the economy...and please stay clear of Walmart...
Cowards....
Cowards....
No question in my mind that you are correct. However, America will survive. Eventually the masses will rise up and take action. How long will it take? Its any ones guess. Having said that, you can call me the proverbial kook but I believe there is a real probability that if BO continues to beat the Socialist drum and the economy continues to flounder he will eventually be called on to resign.
i doubt it somehow FDR got elected to 4 terms and is seen as one of the greatest presidents ever and he was a big time commie
the revolution if it comes isn't about obama and the left anyway
its about all government both left and right
for now they continue to do a good job of pitting people vs. people....right vs. left.....so the status quo will remain
if enough people wake up and are ready to kick them all out....that's when we might see some real fireworks
i doubt that will happen though people are easily manipulated and society as a whole has become quite retarded when it comes to economics/politics etc....due to the MSM right/left shite 24/7......
so we will continue down the path of more commufascism

Jackson slams Obama for 'acting white'
By: Roddie A. Burris - The State
Sep 19, 2007 11:28 AM EST
The Rev. Jesse Jackson called Tuesday on Democrats seeking the 2008 nomination for president to give S.C. voters “something to vote for” when they go to the polls in January.
On a statewide tour to register new voters, Jackson said South Carolina will determine “who has momentum” in the primary when it votes Jan. 29.
Jackson sharply criticized presidential hopeful and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama for “acting like he’s white” in what Jackson said has been a tepid response to six black juveniles’ arrest on attempted-murder charges in Jena, La. Jackson, who also lives in Illinois, endorsed Obama in March, according to The Associated Press.
“If I were a candidate, I’d be all over Jena,” Jackson said after an hour-long speech at Columbia’s historically black Benedict College.
“Jena is a defining moment, just like Selma was a defining moment,” said the iconic civil rights figure, who worked with Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1965 Selma civil rights movement and was with King at his 1968 assassination.
Later, Jackson said he did not recall making the “acting like he’s white” comment about Obama, stressing he only wanted to point out the candidates had not seized on an opportunity to highlight the disproportionate criminal punishments black youths too often face.
Jackson also said Obama, who consistently has placed second in state and national polls behind New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, must be “bolder” in his political positions if he is to erase Clinton’s lead.
Jackson is the only African-American ever to carry South Carolina in a presidential primary election.
Obama’s South Carolina campaign pointed to a statement it released last week in which Obama called on the local Louisiana district attorney to drop the excessive charges brought in the case.
“When nooses are being hung in high schools in the 21st century, it’s a tragedy,” the Obama statement said. “It shows that we still have a lot of work to do as a nation to heal our racial tensions.”
Thousands from across the country, including some from Columbia, are expected to converge on the small town of Jena today to protest the “Jena 6” arrests.
Jackson told the 500 to 600 students in his audience at Benedict that “criminal injustice,” instead of a rope, is the pressing civil rights issue of their day, but that voting remained their strongest ally.
“Your fight is not about ropes, it’s about hope,” Jackson said, blasting the flood of guns and violence he said permeates many black communities.
Civil rights, he said, has become the counterculture of the day rather than the prevailing culture. “You can’t call on the Justice Department anymore; it’s not there.”
Jackson, who became only the second major black candidate to run for president, won five primaries in his 1984 bid for the office, then 11 primaries and nearly 7 million votes in his 1988 run.
He said the 2008 presidential candidates must speak most directly to the pressing S.C. issues of housing, high tuition costs, health care and a plan to end the war in Iraq.
“The candidates have got to speak to South Carolina,” said Jackson, who was traveling also to S.C. State University in Orangeburg and to Charleston Tuesday evening before wrapping up his registration drive tonight in Aiken.
A Greenville native, Jackson said he hoped to register thousands of new voters during the statewide swing, which began Saturday in Rock Hill.
“Their votes must equal change,” he said, referring to residents in a state where only 1 in 4 eligible voters go to the polls. “I want to make sure the right agenda is being voted on in 2008.”
His approach worked for senior mass-communications major Darius Dior Porcher, 21, who graduated from famed Scotts Branch High School in Clarendon County, which produced the Briggs v. Elliott school desegregation case of 1954.
“The main thing when you speak to students is to get them to move,” Porcher said. “He moved students today. He got them to come down to the floor and register to vote.”

Blacks Agree With Biden: Obama Not Black Enough
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Joe Biden’s blooper on the day he joined the race for the 2008 Democratic Presidential nomination may have sunk his already remote chance of becoming President, but it hit the mark as far as black voters are concerned.
Biden’s remark that "You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy'' resonated with black voters.
“He ain’t mainstream and he ain’t black enough,” said a black voter, Leroy Pettway of Tennessee. “His mammy was white and his daddy … well … his daddy was too black, being from Africa and all. We American blacks is not as black as the African blacks. We got some slaveowner white in us, to be sure, but we don’t got white mamas. That’s too much white! Biden is right. Obama is too bright and too clean to be black. Not like Al Sharpton. I be votin’ for Hillary.”
Obama said he didn't take Biden's remark personally, but said it was historically inaccurate. “African-American presidential candidates like Jesse Jackson, Shirley Chisholm, Carol Moseley Braun and Al Sharpton gave a voice to many important issues, and no one would call them inarticulate. Ineffectual, maybe, but not inarticulate.''
But black politicians were outraged by the Biden remark, and used it to attack Obama.
“Not clean and nice lookin'?” said Al Sharpton. "He talkin' about ME?
“We got to continue the victim mentality,” he continued. ”Obama is gonna ruin things if he continues with this upbeat, let’s all come together line. We’ve got to remind our constituents they came from slaves, we’ve got to be separate at the polls, we’ve got to feel the rage. I feel the power of that ... for me!”
Biden, 64, who is chairman of the important Senate Foreign Relations Committee, ran in the Democratic primary in 1988 until he was revealed to have plagiarized a speech by a British politician.
”Look on the bright side," he said. "At least I didn’t plagiarize this one.”
even his own VP did some of that too

ignore that 2nd article tiz got spoofed
but regardless the not black enough...acting like he's white crap.....was floating around quite a bit a while back

http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9905E3DE123FF931A35751C0A9619C8B63
On Wednesday, the question of race took center stage in the presidential campaign because of remarks that Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of Delaware, made about Mr. Obama. Mr. Biden characterized Mr. Obama as ''the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy'' and then spent the day -- his first as an official presidential candidate, explaining and apologizing for his remarks.
