A Nation of Cowards???

I am really disappointed by the insensitive and ridiculous comments Eric Holder made today.

He said, "Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial, we have always been and we -- I believe continue to be in too many ways essentially a nation of cowards".

He went on to say, "Certain subjects are off-limits and that to explore them risks at best embarrassment and at worst the questioning of one's character."

I wonder why so many people shy away from talking about race. It's not because they are cowards. It may because they are totally bored with the constant droning on from black leaders about racism. Or maybe it's because people are tired of being accused of being racists. Possibly it's because people are quick to judge, quick to accuse and quick to see evil intent behind almost every comment related to race. The most innocent of comments gets blown out of proportion. A disagreement between two people of different races is turned into a race issue instead of what it is....a disagreement.

Is this how the next four years are going to go? Are we ever going to be allowed to celebrate how far this country has come in its race relations or are we going to be constantly barraged by accusations of racism by those who will really loose if the race business ends...Jesse Jackson...Al Sharpton...the NAACP...etc.
