At what point did Mr. Holder accuse you or anyone else of being a "racist coward"? Does that combination of words ever appear in his speech. Let me ask another question. Why, when confronted with issues of race, do so many white people automatically go to: "I have black friends" or "I like Dr. King"? This is exactly what the Attorney General was talking about. Boasting about your personal relationship with a few of the 40+ million blacks in this country does not constitute a conversation on race. That's just you trying to convince everyone you're not racist, which is a remarkable position to take, considering that no one called you a racist. But that get back to one of my major pet peeves: when whites take every negative thing said by a black person about race as a direct, personal, individual attack against them. Why can't you understand that Holder wasn't accusing any individuals of racism? Why can't you understand the difference among "you're a racist" and "this system is racist" and "let's talk about race"? Have you been so trained to believe that blacks hate whites that you assume everything we say is addressed to you personally? And then, there's my other issue with what you have written: this whole colorblind thing. It sounds nice and good, but let me ask you this. If you don't see race, and black people get discriminated against, how will you ever know. If you don't see ethnicity, and our government begins to create immigration laws specifically targeted at, shall we say, "browner" nations, how will you know. You have to be willing to confront these issues head on instead of being a coward who hides behind having their feelings hurt over what someone did not say. Thank you for proving Mr. Holder's point.
