I don't have time to go over Eric Holder. You'll have to do the leg work on that one.

We'll have to agree to disagree considering Oprah Winfrey. However, it is a huge stretch to equate her to Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I think this comparison would never have been made if she had never openly supported Obama.
I read part of a speech where Eric Holder called America a nation of cowards when it comes to racial stuff. Is that what you are talking about?
If it is, it was strong language and he basically disregarded all of the progress that has been made and disrespected the many, many folks who are not cowards.
I add, he should be held responsible for his insult. He should apologize and it should be a sincere apology, without justifications, to the Americans who are not cowards.
Was there anything inherently racist in what he said? You tell me.
I will say he was wrong in calling Americans cowards. That too, is offensive.
