The nation of cowards and Eric
Holder

In remarks made during a
2009 speech to honor Black History Month, Eric Holder said the country remains
“voluntarily socially segregated.” Holder said,”Though this nation has proudly
thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot in things racial, we have always
been, and we, I believe, continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation
of cowards. Though race-related issues continue to occupy a significant portion
of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial
issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with
each other about things racial.”
So in what way is this
country a “nation of cowards” or a “racist” nation? Perhaps because no one is
willing to step up and say that this nation is 13 percent black or
African-American and the African-American race is well represented in the ranks
of government. There is no other country on the face of this earth with or
without the population representation that can make the same claim. The
cowardice comes in when not one person is willing to stand up and say this
simple fact.
The findings are stark:
Students of color, boys and girls, are suspended at three times the rate of
white students, and the disparities begin in preschool.”
So, instead of confronting
the reality almost three-quarters of these children grow up in single parent
households, many with scant supervision, and are simply behaving in a
“bad-assed” manner, it must instead be HIDDEN RACISM. We cower away FROM
TELLING THE TRUTH. Teachers second-guess themselves, hold black or
African-American students to a lower standard of behavior, as the well-mannered
children of all races flee the public school system, and the teachers
themselves become frequently assaulted “wardens” in an asylum.
