Attorney General Eric Holder called America "A Nation of Cowards" as far as race matters go. The Associated Press reports Holder mentioned that "the workplace is largely intergrated but Americans still self segregate on the weekends and in their private lives. " He's right. His timing though is wrong. ? This is a hot topic issue, that can and will go in an endless circle hitting the President each time it loops around.
Many like me will argue that yes, Holders perception is accurate. Others however will point to Obama being president, Richard Steele heading the GOP, Holder himself and UN ambassador Susan Rice as examples of how far we've come as a nation; that eliminating racism altogether is a concept we are truly working on actively.Either way you choose, this is not the time for this issue. The Presidents failed cabinet appointees who couldn't find an H&R Block, coupled with the controversial Stim Pack that didn't exactly win the country or the GOP over, make Holders decision to raise the temperature with a cold hard look at Racism, questionable at best.
Holders overall point was fair . His timing was not. He should let the 800 billion dollars that flew out of DC Windows slow the unemployment rate and foreclosures down first. Having a job on Monday and a bedroom to come home to on Monday night will make hard painful truths and challenges like Racism easier to confront honestly.-TJ
