It is very disappointing that Eric Holder, the new black US Attorney General (AG), has chosen to engage in Al Sharpton style race-baiting public statements.
It is particularly intimidating and disturbing because he is the chief cop of the US.

Apparently he is labeling white Americans as cowards because we don’t openly and actively address and discuss race issues and racial situations in a manner he desires.
It’s not clear if the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racial sermons meet with his approval.

Could it be that this cowardly behavior has been imposed by the politically-correct PC-police who attack those who are not in PC-compliance on race, homosexuality, God, abortion, feminism, Gore-hypothesis and many other liberal social issues?
Perhaps that’s why we just cower-down and cling to our guns and Bibles?
-
Today anyone who openly and frankly discusses race issues is subject to being labeled a bad person and whose livelihood may well be at stake.
-
The vicious racial attacks upon Bill Cosby stand as a primary example:

Someone I personally know was investigated and her government job placed in jeopardy because she said at work that “a joke she had hear was ‘black humor’”. One can only imagine the person who brought forward the formal complaint and investigation.

She now is a confirmed coward, one of multitudes of people who are totally intimidated by the PC-Police.
Actually, I would not even think about writing this blog if I still worked for my old employer.

If this is the “Change we can believe in” – it certainly proves that all Change is not Progress!

Some prior blog examples of our PC-police environment supported and assisted by our liberal media:
