I wanted to talk about the President’s 17 minute speech tonight but found out the roaches are coming out of the wood work. I found this article from the AP.
Democrats on Tuesday denounced an Iowa Republican congressman who says President Barack Obama favors blacks over whites, and a GOP candidate from Colorado canceled a fundraiser the Iowan was to keynote. Rep. Steve King, known for sometimes incendiary remarks about immigration, Abu Ghraib and other issues, criticized Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, who also is black, in an interview Monday on G. Gordon Liddy's nationally syndicated radio talk show. "I'm offended by Eric Holder and the president also, their posture," said King, 61. "It looks like Eric Holder said that white people in America are cowards when it comes to race." Take a look at this guy and he looks like he could easily slip comfortably into a hood.
Holder, in a 2009 speech, did not suggest that whites are more cowardly than blacks when discussing race, as King indicated in the radio interview. "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot," Holder said, "in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards."
This is nothing new, folks. The hatred held inside of these bigots is eating through. They can’t hold it any longer and don’t care because so many of these people hate our president who is representing all of us. If they were so concerned about racial equality where were these buttheads during Jim Crow? They didn’t speak out because they were contented with the way things were, keeping minorities from progressing. We can't allow ourselves to sit back passively and quietly. We must learn to be vocal! We believe in free speech, too!
