Eric Holder said at a conference that he was being mistreated by members of congress because he is black.
Sorry Eric Holder, your record is the reason for the mistreatment. Not your race. You were placed in contempt of congress, over Fast and the Furious. You have been anything but impartial in the IRS scandal, the Black Panther poll station incident, ignoring anti-drug laws, amongst other issues. You may like to think that its about your race, because that gives you an out, and a way to justify your feelings towards the House of Representatives. But it isn’t the case.
Of course, some people are racist, but to blame all issues on race is a fallacy. Most if not all of the issues that Republicans have with Holder or Obama are due to their policies. The Republicans did the same to Bill Clinton, and his policies, so why is it that it’s now about race? Can we then say that Obama’s issues with George W. Bush’s policies were because of race? No, we cannot, and because of that we can’t blame race for policies and administrative actions that congress disagrees with.
If there is actual racism, it needs to be proven and taken care of. Show how these representatives are racist. Not just in attacks against a single person or single administration, but in general, because it could be that they just don’t like Holder and his policies. A good example of this is Alberto Gonzales, and how the Democrats hated him for his policies.
There have always, and will always be disagreements between the congress and any given administration, and sometimes things get heated. Let us keep it to that without causing more issues with even more heated rhetoric.
