Although, to many of my readers, I merely state the obvious.

Oddly enough, Mr Holder seems to be taking recent heat over his decision to decline prosecution of the “New” Black Panthers who intimidated voters at the polls with their presence, words and batons in Philadelphia, 2008.

Holder recently said:

Attorney General Eric Holder finally got fed up Tuesday with claims that the Justice Department went easy in a voting rights case against members of the New Black Panther Party because they are African American.

“Think about that,” Holder said. “When you compare what people endured in the South in the 60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, and to compare what people were subjected to there to what happened in Philadelphia—which was inappropriate, certainly that…to describe it in those terms I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line, who risked all, for my people,” said Holder, who is black.

“My people.”

What would have occurred had a WHITE Attorney General made mention of “my people”?

I wrote about the entire case and event here.

Mr Obama supported Holder’s decision. Imagine that. “Compare and contrast”, as my university professors used to say, their shared melanin count. Hmm. Similar, I’d wager. Again, imagine that.

Even The Washington Times weighed in and said there was racial bias.

On the other hand, it is clear that TEA Partiers are racists — although, it was proven, they are not. The US Capitol Police confirmed this. Some blacks — again, against prevailing thought — embrace the TEA Parties.

But those are predominantly facts to be ignored. Mr Obama cannot be wrong and Mr Holder cannot be wrong either. Blacks cannot be racists because they are members, when they wish to play that card, of Victims First.

Take a look at the video. Yes, there was video evidence and yet, despite that, Mr Holder determined the New Black Panthers were simply out on a calm daily stroll and had no bad will or ill mien in mind. They were simply “security patrols.”

Right. Security patrols. When was the last time YOU saw “security patrols” at YOUR point of voting? Why that would be: never.

In a series of questions and comments earlier in the hearing, [ Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas) ] Culberson insisted that race had infected the decision-making process. “There’s clearly evidence, overwhelming evidence, that your Department of Justice refuses to protect the rights of anybody other than African Americans to vote,” the Texas Republican said. “There’s a pattern of a double standard here.”

Double standard?

YOU make that decision. Please weigh in.
