For example, if I said Eric Holder was appointed AG on account of his race and not because of his credentials I would be accused of being racist. The prospect of being branded a racist for speaking openly is the social equivalent of prior restraint. For too many its just not worth the risk. Talking about race is not going to solve anything anyways. Fri, 20 Feb 2009 03:44:59 +0000 http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D96E53483#IDComment15515414
