A Nation Of Cowards

Attorney General Eric Holder said the United States is "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race relations. In one sense, he is absolutely right. Many whites, from university administrators and professors, schoolteachers to employers and public officials accept behavior from black people that they wouldn't begin to accept from whites.

For example, some of the nation's most elite universities, such as Vanderbilt, Stanford University and the University of California, have yielded to black student demands for separate graduation ceremonies and separate "celebratory events." Universities such as Stanford, Cornell, MIT, and Cal Berkeley have, or have had, segregated dorms. If white students demanded whites-only graduation ceremonies or whites-only dorms, administrators would have labeled their demands as intolerable racism. When black students demand the same thing, these administrators cowardly capitulate. Calling these university administrators cowards is the most flattering characterization of their behavior. They might actually be stupid enough to believe nonsense taught by their some of sociology and psychology professors that blacks can't be racists because they don't have power.

~snip~

The bottom line is that the civil rights struggle is over and it is won. At one time black Americans didn't share the constitutional guarantees shared by whites; today we do. That does not mean that there are not major problems that confront a large segment of the black community, but they are not civil rights problems nor can they be solved through a "conversation on race." Black illegitimacy stands at 70 percent; nearly 50 percent of black students drop out of high school; and only 30 percent of black youngsters reside in two-parent families. In 2005, while 13 percent of the population, blacks committed over 52 percent of the nation's homicides and were 46 percent of the homicide victims. Ninety-four percent of black homicide victims had a black person as their murderer. Such pathology, I think much of it precipitated by family breakdown, is entirely new among blacks. In 1940, black illegitimacy was 19 percent; in 1950, only 18 percent of black households were female-headed compared with today's 70 percent. Both during slavery and as late as 1920, a teenage girl raising a child without a man present was rare among blacks.

If black people continue to accept the corrupt blame game agenda of liberal whites, black politicians and assorted hustlers, as opposed to accepting personal responsibility, the future for many black Americans will remain bleak.

This commentary is a good read, especially for those who never get the conservative black viewpoint

Good Point BabyBlue, and one I had not thought to attach to deaf schools.

I posted a real live conservative black persons view because the "news" that some people get and think is gospel is skewed in the far left. Especially our foreign friends get a very biased view of ewverything that goes on in the USA.

I notice the KKK was talked about....fact...historically, the Democrat party in the US is steeped in anti-black deeds and sentiment. A good person to read is Mrs. Frances Rice.

I think this one is captioned, if not I'll try to find the link that is.

The MSM, like those Liebling mentioned in a recently closed post, would have people believe that the Republican party is racist and have kept people down - while the facts are that the Democrat party is the party of racists and disenfranchisers.

Truth will out...eventually

I think you are confused between the parties, and the historical changes both have undergone.

BTW...Colin Powell is a conservative Black man who supports Barack Obama. Explain that one.:cool2:

Exactly what anti-Black deeds is the Democratic party steeped in? Perhaps you would like to check to see what KKK members are registered as when it comes to political affiliation.

Political affiliation is not truly the issue, however. Racism is racism. And it is alive, well, and growing in the United States.

I am not the confused one, just going by the historical facts.

For liberals this would have to be explained, for Conservatives it is accepted that an individual has the right to support whomever he/she chooses. That question would need to be asked to Colin Powell.

From the beginning of slavery in the US to the present Dem party and their use of the blacks by their party. Specifics are numerous and historical.

I do not believe it to be growing but I agree that political affliliation is not truly the issue. To be sure, there are people from both parties who are not clean where racism is concerned.
Unfortunate but it is made the issue constantly by liberals who seek to detract from facts and deflect eyes from their own party and its dealings.

It needs to be made into an issue because crimes r being committed against innocent people just because of the color of their skin.

I would rather it been made an issue than just try to sweep it under the rug so if the liberals are making it an issue, good for them!

Iam married to a black man and groups like these could hurt me or my family so it is a serious issue with me, political or not...

I agree that 'hate crimes' must be recognized and charged and punishments rendered...but...everything is not a hate crime and everything is not racially motivated. I also believe that blacks, hispanics, and so on should not be given a free pass and if they commit a hate crime that they likewise should be charged and ounishments rendered.

True and it is up to you to recognize and report what may be a hate crime.


The topic of the thread was Holder calling our nation a nation of race cowards. I do not believe that to be true.
Neither do many learned blacks, Republican and Democrat.

Holder's statement was meant to instigate and divide.

The topic is what I was responding to.

If Colin Powell is a conservative then why did he support a liberal presidential candidate? Explain that one.

Because he is a conservative with good sense.

Holder didn't call our nation a race of cowards. He called our nation a bunch of cowards when it comes to discussions of race. Quite a different concept.

Not at all. Liberals don't engage in the same type of dichotocous thinking as do the majority of conservatives.

Exactly. These hate groups function under the cover of darkness, and that is exactly what allows them to proliferate. They need to be exposed to the light of day.
 
yes at the universities when most liberals have lifetime employment and freedom to accuse anyone without fear of being fired, unliek the real workplace outside of academia

Off topic and totally unrelated.

Exactly. Especialy since poster actually supported my point.:cool2:

Now: back to our regularly scheduled program: discussions of racism in America and the reluctance to engage is discussions regarding that which is demonstrated on a daily basis.
