Politics Nothing goes with politics quite like crying and complaining, and we're a perfect example of that.

Default What do you make about Holder comments

He leaves it rather open ended. Im not quite sure what he is leading too. What do you all think?

I'm not sure how a "frank and open" discussion can be had. Bill Cosby has clearly and eloquently addressed many of the problems in the black community and how they affect "race relations", but, many of us can't say the same things without being branded as racists...

I think his appointment was racial so I don't think he has much room to complain, if he is complain. Mentioning that he is the first black AT is a racial statement.

He's a putz.

His comment about the races not"hanging out" on the weekends is idiotic, I hang out with people that have the same interests,

You cannot have on open dicsussion about this topic with most people. I tried that in college and was labeled racist because I thought affirmative action was wrong. Many minority students would not even listen to me after that. too many people think a duscussion is open and great only if you agree with them. After that they simply use labels. I also agree that calling him the first ___anything is racist just the same as calling a man who is 50% white and 50% black, the first black president.

I think I see what he is trying to get at, but I think he is missing the more likely point that it is natural to hang out/live with your own kind. The saying that "birds of a feather flock together" holds true with humans as well as nature without any racial undertones.

Americans can be cowards, but I in generally I think that people of all backgrounds tend to stick with others in the same identity group. That's not cowardice as much as evolutionary impulse.
