Heal thyself ...

What a putz - when was the last time he had a two way conversation with someone who disagreed with him?
Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race, saying most Americans avoid discussing awkward racial issues.

In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

“Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards,” said Holder, nation’s first black attorney general.

Race issues continue to be a topic of political discussion, Holder said, but “we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race.”
Can he do it without a knee-jerk call of "racist?" Can I disagree with the Diversity Bullies at an Admiral's Call and not have my career spiked?

The smart money is on "no" to both.

Anyway, we can never get to real conversations because clowns like this keep inventing fake ones.
