Attorney General Holder delivers landmark speech on race

[chuck9788]

Eric Holder is a criminal and a racist.

Obama needs to go.

[IceAgeColumbus]

Blacks out. Problems solved.

America is a Chamber pot.

[Corporate765]

I didn't say, "keep trying to blame the victims".. I said, "Start making friends". See, this is why 3:06 is the beginning of the for you all.

[GAMINDORE]

The fact is that back people are more racist with themselves than the withes are.

[GAMINDORE]

@abadubie completely agree wit you.

[Corporate765]

3:06... Now Remember That, Racist! Start making friends now, because you've made a lot of enemies since Ancient times.

[GSEagle85]

Ironic he calls the nation a coward when he was cowardly himself to just drop the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panthers, if there was another racist group doing that at the polls, that group would be tried out of business

[icanhasgrammar]

I support this speech 100%. While we claim to be a nation of acceptance, a huge "melting pot", the statistics still show that minorities tend to be socially and financially oppressed, and are still generally separated from whites. While this is, for the most part, a normalized, relatively comfortable status quo (insofar as there is very little overt discrimination), it is still unequal and, at its heart, quintessentially unamerican.

[bluejay8984]

@icanhasgrammar What would you do to correct the equality issues?

[Narcissism100]

Im a black man, But did this clown just call me a coward. Bitch fuck you asshole!!!!!!!!

[maynard700t]

I can understand using just for men on your mustache, but you really shouldn't use it on your eyebrows, the dye can blind you and get into your blood stream and turn you into a race baiting bigot. Never mind, I just watched the video again, and it's too late, carry on.

[drewbmom2001]

Wah, wah, wah!!! I'm so sick of the inept hiding behind their race. If people don't like you, it's probably because you are not very likable. The truth hurts. It's that simple.

[DGMikeBarker]

Race is always going to be apart of the world. It's funny to me when I hear people say race is not an issue anymore. Most of the people who say these things are not a minority or from the south. Ask a Hispanic or African American from the south does racism still exist and see what we say. It's not as bad as it used to but it definitely still happens.

[MyZerimar]

This is not a nation of racist, study history and you will find the answer. President Obama was elected by white people because most black people don't vote and the ones that want to vote lost their right due to criminal records. Black people will not let go, they see racism in everything. I think the real racist are black people, they can move to a white neighborhood but a white person can not move into a black neighborhood. Besides black slaves were sold by other blacks in Africa and blacks

[Crowsfeet7]

I blame my slave ancestors for not killing themselves when they had the chance. A life of slavery is no way to go. If they had not feared death, this would have never happened. I mean, why help build a country that doesn't even like us, only to be tortured as the days go by. I mean, most white people agreed that they could build this country without our help. Why did they keep on trying to live, when you will only be spreading a path of pain and ignorance to your children.Why?

[MrUltitrader]

Well Mr Holder; I think the only cowered here is you.

I am at the tired of you bashing this country for its past, but have you ever stopped to think about the what if's in the USA history, OK slavery was not a good idea but what if there was no slavery ? where would you and Obama and the rest of you that hate this country so much would be? can you answer that for me I like to know were would you be, for sure not here talking down about the USA and its so called terrible history.

[m1st3rh]

@MrUltitrader, If slavery was not there, perhaps Eric Holder would not need to give this speech and would perhaps be still here as an immigrant's son born and raised in America.

[MrUltitrader]

Well Mr Holder; I think the only cowered here is you, with your stupid comments.

I

[HumanIeague002]

Eric Holder is a fascist and RACIST Black-supremacist!!!!!

[ATRUEAMERICAN10000]

"......before I close....let me remind my peeps of the lawgiver's 6 pslam....we must stop Black on Black crime...Ape must not kill Ape."

[JHOffSuit]

so he's calling himself a coward? he's not from the U.S?

[Tejas454]

How totally cowardly of us white folks to elect the first black president. This guy is a moron. It is the blacks who are acting cowardly and racist by accusing those who disagree with policy on it face racists. Racism will never die in this country and cowards like mr holder will make sure of that.

[ezekielthemack]

Totally agree with Eric Holder. White people are indeed the architects of racism. Attention white people: You have a LOT to answer for.

[winker11725]

May this scummer choke on the last turd I flushed.

[ezekielthemack]

Go and slash your wrists pasty faced devil. You should been drowned at birth you dirty piece of shit.

[dljones5]

This Negro Jew hates Whites and he hates Christians. He is working hard to remove your rights to free speech and the right to keep and bear arms - therefore he is a TRAITOR. Don't talk to us about freedom at the same time you are working so hard to take freedom away

[GroidSlayer]

It is quite obvious that this esteemed-up negro hates the White man.

[ezekielthemack]

You have immense powers of deduction - NOT. *laughing*

[TheMarineRecon]

Eric holder got his way threw life because of afrimitive action which white people put in to the us system which that is for the birds and eric holder id like him to say that same speech to all the US veterans they wholdnt stand for that eric holder shut up your gonna be out less than four years when they see obamas birth records eric holder you should be absolutly ashamed of your self.

[3slimdog]

People please read books, whites were the first slaves. I don't hear whites still complaining about our ancestors being slaves and being beaten with whips.

[StellatoBodnar]

It's not African-American, Italian-American, Puerto RIcan-American, Jewish-American. It's only AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StellatoBodnar]

Whites and other then blacks got over the "race game" it's blacks that are not willing to give it up. My grandfather came to the US in 1924 from Italy, he could not get a job, go to school, and got beaten up because he was not from America. Blacks are not the only race that was discriminated against. GET OVER IT. GROW UP!!! No country is is prefect we all have our problems, whites and jews were most discriminated against throughout history!!

[ezekielthemack]

Being Italian is not the same as being black. In case you hadn't noticed Italian people look closer to white people black people than you do. I suggest you get out more and READ a lot more before talking misguided garbage as you sound very ignorant. When you can walk a mile in a black man's shoes then you'll know what it's like, until then, keep your mouth shut!!

[bigbodigga]

i have lived in chicago all my life. and it was not until last year did i start spending time in the south and when he made this speach it made me think of other black people. when we are in a store or a truck stop brothers from the south dont even like to look at each other when a large number of non black people are around. when he made this speach it made me of black people. hell in the south white people will tell you just how they feel about race (good or bad) and black try to live with it

[tw1704]

NOTICE: I didnt say you whites or all whites because I have enough life experience and im intelligent enough not to generalize. Are you??? The whites Im refering to are posting these little angry comments and responding with generalizations.

[tw1704]

Most of us blk ppl dont give a FUCK about having to be accepted by somebody based on race. The REAL issue is the level of INSTITUTIONAL racism that remains.

And why the hell are some of you whites so SENSITIVE about Eric Holder saying that WE are a nation of cowards[[when it comes to openly and honestly discussing todays racial issues?]]

Yall let the media beat yall in the head with [[nation of cowards.]]

Im assuming you guys are educated so I assume that yall know what Eric meant.

[xxdonaldqxx]

Holder is supposed to uphold the laws.He is not supposed wage his finger and treat us like kids.

[Thunderr10]

Lets see... how come i never talk about racism anymore? Because I'm tired of talking about it... its no longer an issue to me. For the most part the generation of people I grew up with where i live just seem to be over it. Yea I learned about it in school, yea its bad, yea im sorry it happened. Should I be ashamed of myself because I'm white? hell no. This guy comes across like I should be and I don't like it. I'm sorry but I just don't care anymore.

[oleskooltool]

reading your response to the video, you have not gotten over it.  Yes, you appear to have issues regarding race. Listen to yourself.

[Thunderr10]

lol, I knew someone was going to say something like that. I don't know what makes you think i'm not over it. Nothing that I said was racist or gives off the idea that i'm not "over it". Please enlighten me...

[k3304]

if you call 53-47% a landslide, well i guess you got your landslide

[Sifuthc]

New Birth of Freedom? WTF is this duche bag talkin about? Someone slap a ho already ~

[LennyWingtip]

so let me get this right, as attorney general you want elite black and white people to gab about race on the weekends???? as if i'll pay htata any mind........ As attorney general you should be talking about all the crimes that blacks commit and tell them to get their act together or go to jail, biaaaaches!!

[eviloneone]

NO as attorney general he should be talking about ending racism period.That man did not once mention racism toward blacks from white was the only form of racism that must be stopped.The usual racist attacks come from whites on blacks,while blacks who usually attack whites are likely to have a history of attacking anyone of of any color.They grew in a society where they are influenced by negativity.They will rob black,white,asian,whatever.Jus­t look at the number of black on black crimes

[eviloneone]

If your government which is ran by predominately black people created more recreation centers,activities that are constructive,schools with proper education in these low income areas these brutal thugs who spend ther life attacking anyone would not grow to become so violent.Yet the system is always designed to have a poor and rich and the poor with ignorance will take measures into there own hands attacking anyone just for there own means of survival,The root of the issue is lack of education

[eviloneone]

CORRECTION=If your government which is ran by predominately WHITE people

[LennyWingtip]

sure and white people should pay for this!!! fuck you you racist!! if our government was predominantly black this country would be a spittin image of africa!!! you're fucking nuts.

[eviloneone]

Bitch,learn how to talk in a civilized manner you uncivilized,ignorant immature child.

[LennyWingtip]

you're not seroius , right? it's hard to tell with you, because you're so irrational.

[eviloneone]

No,you just have a mental problem.Look at the shit you type.You have a lack of exposure,consideration and your education is limited.

[k3304]

evil ,,,,,, just remember your a victim and you'll always be a victim. Need a crying towel ?

[rascalcurve]

So, 98% of African Americans voted for Obama because he was not black? Wow...I did not know that.

[k3304]

i thought we supposed to be a "colorblind" society. So what is it ?????

[eviloneone]

We dont and some white americans(particularly ones who always accuse every black of playing the race card,when race could of very well been the case)tend to live in delusional la la land of color blind societies that do not exist.

[k3304]

the same people who tell us to ignore race are the same ones who want to TALK about race. I don't get it !! Oh, i get it now,,,,. they always want the upper hand and get it !!

[xxmonickkkkaxx]

I was just thinking.maybe we should do what he says,After he disarms all the citizens or tries to.He may slam a tank into your house like him and goon Reno did at Waco.We better talk about race and hang out with each other on nights and weekends.We don't want to make him angry.

[MustangMalone]

It is impossible for so many different people in this world to get along with each other. Right now, Eric Holder does need to worry more about the Mexican Drug Wars and illegal immigration in our US Cities because if he does not, we will have a much larger race problem in this country than we already have.

[MustangMalone]

A better way in life than anger and hatred towards others of different races. Jim Brown did it and he was somewhat successful at it. Don't forget that along with the disgusting comments from white people towards black people, there are also black people who also post disgusting comments towards white people in other videos too. I hate to tell you this but, there will always be some level of racism in this country because people just do not get along with each other.

[MustangMalone]

I am not scared to talk about race at all, but what is left to say that has not already been said many many times before. You tell me what can be said to those people who choose to live their lives filled with anger and hatred towards others of different beliefs,cultures, and most of all races. If we really want to try to solve this problem, we need to go into those neighborhoods where hatred and violence exists, and try and convince the younger generation that there is a better way in life.

[LennyWingtip]

the simple answer to the problem is to get to work and make an honest living!!!!!!! the people at the bottom simply can't do it, it their own fault that they are at the bottom.

[eviloneone]

Bullshit,,alot of times its your governments fault,greed by conservative republicans(and some democrats) who only think about themselves and not others.The system is designed to keep certain people uneducated,oppressed and ignorant.Imagine a society where everyone is rich? It does not exist because mankind has not learned that greed,selfishness,inconsiderat­ion and that pride which leads to arrogance is the downfall for all civilizations

[eviloneone]

Greed,pride are one of the 7 deadly sins,backed by even psychological evidence that leads to the downfall of a civilization when it is responsible for the lives of others.Mankind period needs to rid these extremely conservative mentalities that prohibit the ability to have a new perspective,approach that could have much better results.Extreme conservatism(which in forms exist in all races)must die and stay dead.

[eviloneone]

I agree,but the youth are far less racist than there older adults are.The youth played the biggest role in Obama being elected.The youth see human beings,not race.That shows there is some progression in society,

[k3304]

the only reason Obama got elected is because of the stock market tanking at the last minute (which is suspect) and ACORN fraud-----53-47% isnt a landslide.

[eviloneone]

Obama won by a huge landslide compared to John Mccain,what planet you on?

[LennyWingtip]

58 million people voted against obama, 67 million people voted for obama. this is harly a landslide. a lanslide would be like 100 million for obama and like three million against him.

[eviloneone]

Landslides are determined by states,not people and even them Obama is more than several million votes ahead of Mccain,that is a landslide.Shall i post how landslides are determined?

[LennyWingtip]

a landslide happens when a very steep slope causes earth to fall. I waiting to see how obamas votes vs. not obama's votes create this steep slope, or a landslide.

[eviloneone]

Fool Obama won traditional republican states.Face the facts he won by a major landslide.Did you expect smart americans to vote for that idiot Palin and that fool Mcsame?

[LennyWingtip]

this does not make it a landslide. you cant just try to redefine a word. lanslide deals with the margin of victory, the slope, but you just don't get it do you.

[Mel0132]

Eric Holder Hit The Bulls Eye... The ignorance in some of the comments prior to mine justify everthing he says here.

[eviloneone]

You aint lying either.Ignorance is bliss and this fuels the hatred that so many people overseas have for white americans.They start generalizing all as being closeminded,ignorant,insecure and just flat out racist and they arent

[LiberalsAreWeak]

Eric Holder is a coward himself. SCREW THIS Oprah's looking boyfriend HOMO...Damn Affirmative Action came back to bit us in the ASS

LIBERALS ARE THE FILTH OF AMERICA

[xxmonickkkkaxx]

Will someone out in youtube land please give one example of a nation where diversity has been a benefit to any nation on earth?

[xxmonickkkkaxx]

One day soon if you have a party or bbq it will be mandatory to have homosexuals,whites,black.asian­s,transexuals,senior citizens gee I hope I don't leave anyone out or I my be sued,fined or arrested.just think about it we have a government that now is going to pay our mortgage.They will treat us like little children and tell who we can play with.What a nightmare.We will learn to love big brother.

[MustangMalone]

The truth is that there will always be some forms of racism in this country committed by both black and white people. Most people in this country are tired of talking about racism and just want to move forward in life but, some people like Eric Holder want to keep bringing up the past. Eric Holder should spend alot more time worrying about the fast growing Mexican Drug Violence occurring in our US Cities and also the Wall Street Criminals who stole billions from people.

[eviloneone]

No,,the truth is Eric Holder is proposing that we stop being so scared to talk about race and start talking about it so we can come to a conclusion on how to stop it.

[eviloneone]

Ignoring a very existing issue does not help the situation,it only hampers it.The disgusting comments from white americans here are prime examples of what Eric Holder means.His intent was not to insult every single american,just to call out those who are delusional and feel we live in a colorblind society

[eviloneone]

The Nypost,the two white guys attacking black and latinos for Obamas win are prime examples of existing racism that should never be ignored.

[LennyWingtip]

there are way more black on white crimes that are simply ignored, that's where the real racism is, not one isolated case of whit on black crime!!! this ain't the 60's anymore is the second millenium and now blacks are the real racists. only when people get their heads ooutta their arses and read the DOJ's crime statistics, will they realize this.

[eviloneone]

Um no! not according to FBI statistics,whites outnumber blacks by very large amounts in this country.Real racist? Bringing up black on white does not help the problem.Racism is racism and it needs to stop.Who is in power is generally white people.The system is designed to keep lower income individuals down which is why a liquor store is on every block in the ghetto as well as unhealthy food chains.

[eviloneone]

While areas where predominately white people populate have a liquor store every something miles,organic food stores and healthier food chains,schools with proper education that are sanitary and not led poisoned like schools within the inner city that hold predominately black and latinos.The backlash from ignorant blacks to attack all whites or a white man for the downfall of the government is just absurd as the whites who attack blacks with racism

[eviloneone]

There is no justification for any forms of racism.We are all human beings,we eat,we prespire,we shit,we grow old and will eventually die.The racist bullshit must stop on all sides,yet to do this we must be able to talk about it in a civilized manner in attempt to end it.Some refuse to change,yet you do not worry about them,ignore them and teach the youth how not to be.

[LennyWingtip]

if people would work and just stop complaining about racism, it would diminish and eventually go away, but facts show(studies actually) that when tested blacks have much, much lower REASONING abilities than whites.....this means in general they are stupid (not all, but most), and it's a fact!!!!! so until this changes views towrds each others race will continue. but hard work will improve intelligence, dignity, self worth and on and on etc........JUST STOP WHINING AND GET TO WORK YOU MONKEYS!!

[eviloneone]

BULLSHIT,,,,,,Racism still exist and what pisses me off is when you insist that we need to stop complaining about an existing issue.We will never stop complaining about an issue that plagues many people today.I am sick and tired of you delusional ignorant idiots who pretend we live in a colorblind society and we do not

[eviloneone]

And look at you call people monkeys.Bitch are you mentally challenged?You say stop racism and spit racism by calling blacks monkeys? You have a mental problem.You talk so much about blacks lacking education,yet the ones in the ghetto are usually far more educated than you Hillbillies in the mountains.Just look at your hypocritical statements.Its punk bitches like you that fuel the hatred some thugs have for whites in general.Innocent whites shouldnt have to suffer due to your ignorance

[LennyWingtip]

i never called blacks monkeys, i called people who complain about racism, monkeys.

[LennyWingtip]

um yes! when you lokk at the statistics blacks have a MUUUUCH higher RATE of these heinous crimes than whites. you're stupid to not see this, but i guess having shit for brains, what would one expect from you. you make you tube more worthless by your dumbness.

[eviloneone]

Fool,that doesnt mean they are race related.Blacks that spark crimes against whites usually have history of doing the same crimes on people of there own color,you idiot.They are barbaric,uneducated and have poor education which is due to the government

[LennyWingtip]

what about all the digusting murder and rapes of whites at the hands of blacks!!!! you are either a hypocrite or just don't know better. Check the DOJ's crime statistics, you'll see who the real racists are.

[eviloneone]

Just because someone black murders or rapes a white man or woman does not mean it was race related,alot of these thugs that do that bullshit have committed the same crimes of people of there own color.They are criminals who dont see race,just the opportunity to fuck up the lives of any easy vunerable individual they can find,they must be stopped just like anyone of any race who commits violent crimes on the innocence of anyone.

[tmf1977]

He's right on some points however I do feel that the white man is made out to be public enemy number 1. You can't hold the younger generations responsible for what happened during the civil war.

[spliffhunter]

denying events that occured in the pass will allow for them to occur again. i think continually educated younger generations on the racial turmoil this country has undergone would only make us stronger in the end. the only reason why we have Obama as prez is because Americans force themselves to live up to their values, questions their beliefs and make right what was wrong.

[army2k08]

I hear you, but everyone should watch Tim Wise before conclusions are made.

[alabamawurley]

Now we're talking about race....look at all these racists on youtube.....I had no idea it ran this deep..where do you hide every day?? 1950? Why do you think it's ok to say such hurtful things? This speech is filled with courage, and it's not about republican or democrat it's about the future of america....YAY Eric Holder!!!

[45abcdefg4545]

Each day that goes by with this fool mr obama and his stooges in charges fills me with dread but i get some small satisfaction knowing that some stupid white people who voted in this mullatto Stalin are getting an earfull of the post racial negroe now!

[kleinwild]

This guy is a joke. The liberal media got Obama in the white house. Yall who voted for him, deal with him. Im moving to Mexico!

[AnimalPlanetSFC7]

its all about race., isn't it? ughhh.

[pullybrit]

That's right, never pass an opportunity to bash America, Mr Holder. Just another communist revolutionary thug brother from Chicago! However, you sound quite eloquent when you say it, got to hand that to you!

[mrallcock]

is he eloquent pullybrit? well maybe- negroes often confuse eloquence with truth and are easily led astray- ex al sharpton jesse jackson

[Sepia1789]

And so many people wonder why racism is alive and kicking.

.

[drahm33]

Obamas change is punishing white people. He also said he wanted bipartisanship then put out a huge bill that was so far to liberal side and demanded they sign it. He said he would end the war, but he is just moving troops 800 miles. He said he would end gitmo in one day, its still there. He promised everything and people believed.

[wetweasel56]

This is the change that Obama was talking about and every white person in America is on his and his cronies hit list.

[drahm33]

very true. I don't want to hang out with people that talk in gibberish. That is the truth. Is that what he wants me to say, is that open. The presidents ears make him look like a monkey, true, but should I say it?

[wetweasel56]

You never see blacks trying to make friends with whites. If they approach you it's usually with a gun in their hand.

[stang661]

Maybe his boss should be honest and stop backing down from his campaign platform. NAFTA? Now calls people "protectionist" instead of "common sense to keep jobs" as he stated before. Now this jerkoff wants me to find some black friends.

Ok, Wanted: Black friends that hate rap music, thinks big rims are stupid, listens to the who and watch Tour De France.

People are different You can't make people hang out. They tried in school. Even though those teachers never hung out with different races

[drahm33]

What does forcing black history on white do? I know most of it but NO need to go in depth! I don't care what the race was of every single person that invented something! How is that more important then learning about world economics?

[k3304]

why are democrats always slamming America ????

[drahm33]

Don't talk enough about race? If people think they are equal and even they wouldn't talk about that. This fucker said blacks don't have freedom! This man needs to be replaced! Progress? How is me sitting in my house without any black people not progress? his man wants to be a separatist! I am so sick of this shit.

[wetweasel56]

Think about it people. Who is he calling cowards, blacks or whites?

[SupaSistah]

All of us... really all of us...

[WMules]

Don't you love the transparency of this Obama administration!? Pay close attention! CHANGE has come to America!

[mrallcock]

you are correct mr holder- usa is cowardly with regards to race issues. we to return the negroes to africa and rid ourselves of the burden to society that the negro represents. i make a motion that feb be a send the negroes back to africa month. all joking aside- the rest of the immigrants make significant contributions to USA- when are negroes going start doing their share?

[SupaSistah]

working for free for hundreds of years isn't enough? Besides the countless others like the light filament that made it possible for the light bulb? Open heart surgery? Refrigeration? I can go on and on... but you seem to need to go on and read.

[mrallcock]

pickin' cotton and menial jobs aint shit! we can get more reliable intelligent workers from anywhere for the same money, without all the crime associated with negroes. besides after generations of welfare consider yourselves repaid with interest- plus the ride here was free. we spent more on building prisons then we saved in labor costs.

filament for the light bulb? We have dozens of more significant items of progress- your contributions are laughable, you have overstayed your welcome- leave

[BLCalifornia]

> What is this crook talking about?

> He seems to be hinting at something but what?

[billfurd1]

Shut the f--- up and do your job you were appointed to, always playing the race tapes!!! Special treatment, that is all you f------ crybabies want!

[sparksatl09]

would you say that in my face. i don't think so. case and point of this speech. you will say this behind a screen name. coward. if we would be more open about how we feel about each other and stop being fake face to face, we wouldn't be the South

[wetweasel56]

I'm white and I'll say it to your face. But you can't bring along your homies to back you up when I get you on the ground and start hurting you bad.

You ready to fight fair, BOY!, yeah, I didn't think so.

[SupaSistah]

That is hilarious given that I have only once seen a bunch of Black people beat up one white person when we have a LONG history of mob violence against People of Color (not just Blacks)... You crack me up!
