Eric Holder: Americans Should Not Be 'Color Blind,' But 'Color Brave'
 [BREITBART] Attorney General Eric Inaction JacksonHolder ... aka Mister Fast and Furious... encouraged Americans not to forget race while working for justice and equality in their country. "As it stands, our society is not yet color blind -- nor should it be -- given the disparities that still afflict and divide us." Holder explained, "We must be color brave, and we must never forget that all are made better and more prosperous if all are given equal opportunities." Holder made his remarks during a speech at Howard University on Tuesday for the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Civil Rights Act. "We must take into account not only the considerable steps forward we've seen over the last 50 years, but the entirety of the experience that people of color have faced," he said, calling for Americans to "talk frankly about inequality" in order to eradicate it. Holder called on Congress to update the housing and lending laws to cover sexual orientation and gender as well as strengthening workplace protections. Posted by: Fred 2014-07-16 |
