Holder: US a nation of cowards on racial matters

Holder: US a nation of cowards on racial matters: "Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday the United States was 'a nation of cowards' on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of 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,' Holder said."

Well now.... our new AG is gonna make things a whole bunch better with this screed..... ain't he......?

This is "hope"?

It sure sounds like "change".....
