This has been all over Fox News the past few days.  Someone turned in video of one of the accused threatening to kill white people, and how much he hates them.  The whole thing is really sick. Holder should resign immediately.

It is toward the end where he calls for killing whites and white babies.

I can remember back in the 60's when Huey Newton and the Oakland Black Panthers were very much in the news. I was in a restaurant in San Francisco, and saw Newton and two henchmen enter the place and goosestep like Nazis down the length of the restaurant and up the stairs to the second level. What a spectacle! Newton, who had a reputation for torturing prostitutes with cigarettes, was eventually shot by a small-time drug dealer.

This latest Black Panther threat to kill whites and their babies, which I hope is dealt with before it becomes a reality, reminds me of radical Islamists who are willing to kill Christians and their families for "blasphemy." Did anyone see a story about that recently?

Holder refuses to prosecute these Black-Panther lunatics, but is quite willing to "review" the recent verdict against Johannes Mehserle, a white cop, who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for inadvertently shooting Oscar Grant, a young black man, in the attempt to restrain him.

Mobs rioted and looted stores in downtown Oakland when they heard the verdict; they wanted Mehserle convicted of murder instead of involuntary manslaughter. The jury returned the lesser charge, because they believed Mehserle's story that he thought he had hold of his Taser instead of his gun when he pulled the trigger.

It is difficult to believe that Mehserle intended to murder Grant, since he had no reason to shoot him; he was merely trying to restrain Grant and, in any case, was surrounded by several other cops and numerous witnesses. The involuntary manslaughter verdict made perfect sense under the circumstances.

Yet Eric Holder and the Justice Department have decided to review the case for any evidence of "racism," although when there is blatant and explicit black racism, Holder can't be bothered. Apparently, his concern is that there were no blacks on the Mehserle jury. Yet the defendant was a cop, for whom a "jury of his peers" would have been other police officers, not other blacks. Oscar Grant wasn't on trial; Mehserle was.

Even so, did the judge allow cops to serve on the jury? He did not, whereas there was no such prohibition against blacks serving on it. However, there were only 12 blacks in a pool of 100 potential jurors, so it shouldn't be too surprising that none of them made the final cut. The resulting composition included seven whites, four Hispanics and one East Indian. There were eight women and four men. Yet Eric Holder and the Justice Department felt the need to review the case for evidence of bigotry, while ignoring Black Panther threats to kill whites. That apparently does not constitute a threat of bigotry worth investigating.

I haven't heard anything about that, Bill, but it sure doesn't surprise me.

Many of the new black panthers declare themselves to be Muslims and they rail against Zionists, and support Hezbollah and Palestinian goals. You don't have to be white to be hated by that group.

Radical Islam, black nationalists, the old KKK, eco-terrorists, totalitarian regimes and their ardent supporters.... they all share an affinity for violence and a drive to apply it in intolerant ways.

I see them all as people who have sought out organizational structures where those motivated by severe neurotic defensiveness can gather under an umbrella of pseudo moral justification. All nut cases pretending that their made-up philosophies and holy scriptures justify displacing their self-hate onto others.

By the way, Bill, I tried to fix the link to the video, but it didn't work. I tried a different video, and that didn't work either.  I think we need tech support for YT videos over here.

I just fixed the original link.  There was a slight problem with the software.

Eric Holder and Obama's positions on things like this can only be understood in two ways: political posturing that plays to the base, and/or 'social justice' - in this case I think it is more about their concept of 'social justice' - like when Obama declared the cops wrong in the Baltimore case - despite not having any facts. Representative Maxine Waters inserted something in the Financial Reform package recently passed that will require all government financial agencies to create diversity czars to promote racial and gender diversity by making each agency maintain an office for Minority and Women's Inclusion - It's aim is to "increase the participation of minority-owned and women-owned businesses in the programs and contracts" of each agency and conduct "an assessment" of those goals.

Each diversity czar would be a presidential appointee who must be confirmed by the Senate and have power "comparable to that of other senior level staff," the bill says. The Wall Street Journal said, "The Waters provision will also give Congress and the White House a new and powerful lever to influence the operation of the 12 regional Fed banks," the newspaper wrote. "Accusations of racial or gender indifference, much less outright bias, are politically deadly."

"With the threat of such an accusation in their holster, the Waters czars will have enormous clout to influence Fed governance and regulatory decisions, perhaps including monetary policy,"


Over then next decade the direct cost of running these is estimated at about 200 million. The real cost... beyond calculation :-(

Maxine is such a jewel:

Eric Holder and the Justice Department were also going to file a lawsuit against the Arizona Immigration law on the grounds that it was unconstitutional when it turned out that he hadn't even read the law, which was only 10 pages, unlike the 2,000 page health care bill which no one could be expected to have read.

In a delicious bit of irony, it turns out that the Arizona law regarding immigration is actually more definitive in its opposition to discrimination on the basis of race, color or national origin than the federal immigration law.

Don't you just love it?!

Obama and his Justice department appear to blind to irony. They went ahead and filed the suit, but somehow they left off charging any discrimination - just asserting that it is the federal government's job. Arizona passed a law to enforce existing federal immigration law, claiming they were forced to do so because the federal government wouldn't, and Obama sues them for interfering with federal enforcement. Unbelievable!
