Eric Holder: Blacks are entitled to more benefits Holder recently addressed the question of affirmative action, and for how long it would be required. He answered, stunningly, that reverse discrimination has only just begun: “Affirmative action has been an issue since segregation practices,” Holder said. “The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin[.] … When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?” We see in these remarks the soil out of which rises the bitter fruit of racial resentment. Holder’s attitude is best summed up as the elite victim mentality. The belief is one of perpetual entitlement, fueled by bitterness, and given the stamp of official approval by politicians at the highest levels of national office. The Trayvon Martin upheaval is made possible by this carefully cultivated attitude, which exists within all income levels. Whether it’s under the guise of injustice, inequality, underrepresentation, or white supremacy, the effect of the attitude is the same: sheer resentment towards the majority and its institutions. Not all minorities share this attitude, while many non-minorities do. For instance, Professor William B. Eimicke of Columbia University supports a lawsuit against New York City because the city doesn’t have enough black firefighters. Eimicke, who is white, says, “The reality is the [fire] department should look like the city it serves.” In other words, the fire department has something wrong with it because there are not enough blacks employed. This is an example of an educated, mainstream leader promoting an arbitrary standard of underrepresentation. Such standards will only fuel more demands for special treatment, and more resentment when the arbitrary standard proves predictably impossible to meet. Take the example of Eimicke’s fellow Columbia faculty. Of the 70 core faculty members in Prof. Eimicke’s department, there are 3 blacks. Seventy-five percent of the faculty is white, and 4% is black, whereas New York City is 45% white and 27% black. Presumably, the principle that a fire department “should look like the city it serves” also applies to the faculty of a tony university. If the faculty “should look like the city it serves,” then Columbia needs to expedite the removal of white professors. Will Eimicke enlist in the righteous cause of minority representation and quit? Or is that a sacrifice he prefers to delegate to students or middle- and working-class whites? We all know the answer: elite liberal hypocrisy protects many academics and politicians from the application of their own dogmas. Columbia’s faculty will never match the ethnic makeup of New York City because professors are typically protected from purported racial favoritism, while firemen are fair game. As the attorney general’s remark shows, the cycle of elite liberal hypocrisy and racial favoritism will never end, so long as liberals control racial discourse. I WILL NO LONGER INSULT MY BLACK FRIENDS BY REFERRING TO HOLDER AND THE OBAMINATION AS BLACKS..... THAT IS THE HEIGHT OF INSULTS TO MY FRIENDS AND TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY AS A WHOLE...... HOLDER AND THE OBAMINATION ARE THE NIGGERS THAT THE BLACK COMMUNITY WANTS TO DISTANCE ITSELF FROM.
