Basically, because it serves him… and his politics.
An editorial which appeared in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal asked this important question, pointing out how Eric Holder and Barack Obama use unrelenting manipulation of racial tensions for political purposes. It’s worth a read:
The United States of America has a black President whose chief law enforcement officer, Attorney General Eric Holder, is also black. They have a lot of political power. So how are they using it? Well, one way is to assert to black audiences that voter ID laws are really attempts to disenfranchise black Americans. And liberals think Donald Trump’s birther fantasies are offensive?
“In my travels across this country, I’ve heard a consistent drumbeat of concern from citizens, who—often for the first time in their lives—now have reason to believe that we are failing to live up to one of our nation’s most noble ideals,” Mr. Holder said Wednesday in a speech to the Council of Black Churches. Voter ID laws and white discrimination, he added, mean that “some of the achievements that defined the civil rights movement now hang in the balance.”
That’s right. The two most powerful men in America are black, two of the last three Secretaries of State were black, numerous corporate CEOs and other executives are black, and minorities of many races now win state-wide elections in states that belonged to the Confederacy, but the AG implies that Jim Crow is on the cusp of a comeback.
It’s demeaning to have to dignify this argument with facts, but here goes.

Jun. 4, 2012 at 11:41pmEric Holder is trying to keep the agenda going at the expense of justice. It just happens the blacks are the ones mostly duped by Obama. Black “church goers” will not consider Romney if Obama changes his mind about the “gay” issue. It seems the aborted babies do not enter into the equation for some of them. Just because someone goes to church does not make them Christians. A true Christian would never vote for Obama. He has shown his hand. Eric Holder is on the same wave length as Obama and is doing his part to promote the agenda by suspending Justice or not even allowing it. This is one part of what they are doing outside the Office of the president. The U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare is as well being used for them to, under the pretense of concern over health, tie up this country with laws and get into private business of individuals and use these laws later as precedence for something close, but not too noticable by the general public. The various departments of Transportation, communications, commerde, and especially EPA are further tying up freedoms of people using laws enacted under the pretence of security, to grab and control land and what people grow, and control what can and cannot be allowed until people will have to call an agency to get a drink of water or go to the bathroom. They need to back off and mind their own business. They do not care about people if they are willing to kill babies so people can satisfy their lusts. They are all evil

Jun. 4, 2012 at 10:07amBlacks will not be happy until all mayors are black , all cities are black etc http://frontpagemag.com/2012/06/04/obama-threatens-florida-over-purging-non-citizen-voters/2/
since blacks are getting into hiring positions it is impossible for many whites to have a fair shot at jobs, bottom line is conservatives need a separate nation

Jun. 4, 2012 at 11:51pmThese people overall cannot make decisions or they would not have ever believed this Marxists. These people have been dummed down and Obama and Holder both know that if some of these dummed down people get a microphone, they are going to parrot the “poor little me” rhetoric and use the outdated race card to incite some of those. They really think white people are going to give much of their lives to support people who are so ignorant they get a little power and will not even take care of their own cities. Marion Berry was re-elected in numerous times as Mayor of D.C., even after he was caught smoking crack cocaine, caught with prostitutes and various crimes. They want “color” because over the decades they have been lulled into thinking it is their color that is holding them back and they want something in return for being born black. Most of these are not slave decendents and came from abroad on their own free will or escaped from some island or other to seek a better way of life, but what many of them got is better handouts until they have convinced themselves they are entitled to it. Their parents are not even from this country as are not many of those running their mouths and stirring up trouble. This should be stopped.
