The very first black Attorney General, Eric Holder, controversially made the comment that he thought regarding racial matters, America has been a "nation of cowards," according to an article published by the Associated Press. The above photo is courtesy of the AP.
As one would expect, the comment was not very well received.
For all of those under the facade that racism is officially over given that we have a black president now, this must have been pretty offensive.
Was it a politically smart thing to say? Probably not, in fact, definitely not. Is it true? It's debatable. What isn't up to interpretation, however, is the fact that racism is still alive and well in our society.
Holder should have just framed what he wanted to say in more politically sensitive way.
