Holder: to oppose Obama or myself is to be racist

Holder sees ‘racial animus’ in opposition

by Justin Sink

Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday he and President Obama have been targets of “a racial animus” by some of the administration’s political opponents.

“There’s a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that’s directed at me [and] directed at the president,” Holder told ABC. “You know, people talking about taking their country back. … There’s a certain racial component to this for some people. I don’t think this is the thing that is a main driver, but for some there’s a racial animus.”

Holder said the nation is in “a fundamentally better place than we were 50 years ago.”

First: I profoundly disagree on a logical and fundamental basis.

This administration’s paranoia makes Nixon’s look like that of children.

This administration sees racists in every closet, under every bed, behind every closed door.  And speaking of closed doors — the Obama administration is roundly referred to as the least transparent in history — as many reporters bemoan.

He also stood by his controversial comments made during Obama’s first year in office, in which he said the U.S. was a “nation of cowards” when it comes to race.

On that comment I too profoundly agree, though in a manner I’m sure is 180-degrees opposed to what Mr Holder means.  Yes, this nation is full of cowards when it comes to race, because they fear to confront facts about race and to call blacks out when they are themselves racist.  It is the GOWPs who are cowards — the Guilty, Overeducated White People.  Agreed, Mr Holder: cowards.

But to casually distill disagreement down to racism?  Frankly, I’m tired of this ancient racist pap.  And it too is starting to wear on the American public.

I ask: who’s the racist here, Mr Holder?

Check your mirror.

Mark Cuban a racist? No; Cuban is a realist

Mark CubanDallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is under fire for alleged “racist” remarks he made at a business conference.  Read the remarks and then tell me: were they racist?

From YahooNews.com:

Mavericks owner Cuban under fire for comments touching on race

by Lisa Maria Garza

Overcoming bigotry requires acknowledging internal prejudices, Cuban said in a video-recorded interview shown on Wednesday at the GrowCo convention hosted by Inc magazine.

“If I see a black kid in a hoodie and it’s late at night, I’m walking to the other side of the street. And if on that side of the street, there’s a guy that has tattoos all over his face – white guy, bald head, tattoos everywhere – I’m walking back to the other side of the street,” he said in the interview that was posted on the Internet.

Cuban just happens to be correct, as he is no racist for simply having the temerity to rip a page from the journal of Captain Obvious.

But wait; it gets even better.

Cuban, who spoke the truth and made no racist statement, is now walking his remarks back according to the NYDailyNews.com:

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban offers apology to Trayvon Martin’s family after making ‘black kid in a hoodie’ remark

by Bernie Augustine

“The “black kid in a hoodie” remark led to comparisons to the Trayvon Martin slaying, something Cuban apologized for on Twitter later Thursday.

“In hindsight I should have used different examples. I didn’t consider the Trayvon Martin family, and I apologize to them for that. Beyond apologizing to the Martin family, I stand by the words and the substance of the interview,” Cuban wrote. “I think that helping people improve their lives, helping people engage with people they may fear or not understand, and helping people realize that while we all may have our prejudices and bigotries, we have to learn that it’s an issue that we have to control. that it’s part of my responsibility as an entrepreneur to try to solve it.”

In my opinion Trayvon Martin was a little thug.  And the man who shot him was found not guilty.  As with O.J. Simpson, get over it.  The juries spoke.

That said, we can obviously have no national much less a brief and regional discussion of race in any form without someone getting their Race Panties in a bunch.

With, again, more GOWPs and others getting involved in an issue that won’t ever be solved until it can actually be addressed and people don’t automatically cut others off at the knee who wish to honestly address the topic.

Because Cuban is correct.  Blacks and young thugs wear hoodies because it sends a message.  It allows them to hide their faces and not be recognized for crimes.  Hoodies and baggy sagging pants represent prison and jail culture.  Gangbangers and thugs wear hoodies even in the summer because it sends a message.  Gangbangers and thugs wear facial tattoos because it sends a message.  No legitimate business would ever hire a piece-o-crap human whose face was tattooed.  Because: it sends a message.

And if people are too stupid to realize that, they are apparently too stupid to walk and swing their arms simultaneously.

P.S.

I just recently tried to get into the Hugh Hewitt radio show regarding this very topic, and was unceremoniously hung-up on by a female screener when I revealed my opinion.  Because it conflicted with Hugh’s assertion that Mark Cuban is in fact a racist for making his statement as documented above.  Nice to know.  You can either have an honest discussion about race or you can be a coward.
