First, for those wondering, yes I am outraged and insulted by Attorney General Eric Holder's words today...WHO THE FUCK does he think he is? His job is Attorney General of ALL THE PEOPLE, but to hear him speak today, he sounded like an ANGRY BLACK MAN with an AXE TO GRIND...OH, SO SORRY, is this White Boy being to FORWARD in my remarks? That said, I am NO COWARD, and am more than happy to give Eric Holder my own throughts on various topics, including race relations in America.

I am one American who is getting a bit tired of the Black Community acting as if Obama belongs ONLY TO THEM, and getting a bit upset that his election to the highest office in the land somehow has Black people acting as if they have now been given SPECIAL RIGHTS. I voted for Obama...my vote was made as it always is...he was and is the LESSER OF TWO EVILS. That's politics...I did not vote for him as some kind of a mandate on race relations, do not believe politics should be about color. Sadly Mr. Holder, you seem to feel your high office gives you a platform to make politics about race...you ARE WRONG. You want to play that dance card, go join La Raza or MALDEF and try to convince Republicans that being Anti Illegal Alien makes them prejudiced bigots. You are a law and order man, surely you know better than that?

I am a 53 year old white male raised in the Midwest. I can remember as a kid my own parents using the word nigger when speaking about people of color. I can remember the fear that gripped our communities when race riots were spilling out all over the place, and the fear in peoples voices when they spoke about the Black Panthers. Putting that into context, I can remember the beating I got when my parents found out my first girlfriend when I was in first grade was black. I remember Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and the Civil Rights Movement that lead to Affirmative Action. I am one of those WHITE MEN who has lost out on jobs, opportunities and had to suffer as a result of Affirmative Action, and at 53 I wonder how much longer we (White Folks) are supposed to Sacrifice in the name of Equal Rights. ENOUGH ALREADY! Why should a Black man or woman get a RACE BONUS when applying for a job...I would think over three decades later that the BONUS MENTALITY and SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT in the Black Community needs to end. I do not OWE YOU A DAMN THING, and you do not owe me a damn thing, and while we are on the subject, America DOES NOT OWE ILLEGAL ALIENS AMNESTY AND A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP. Lets play the game of equal rights fairly and bring to an end a game that gives a black person a color bonus when they apply for a job, or try to get into a University. May the best man or woman win regardless of race, greed, religion or sexual orientation.

Seriously, Equal Rights seems to say that everyone gets a fair shake, that no group gets AN ADVANTAGE based on the color of their skin, or their sexual orientation. Can you explain to me then MR. Holder why it is that a Black Person should get an advantage in applying to a college simply because they are black? Where is the EQUAL in that? By the way, where is Equal Rights when Black People seem to have NO PROBLEMS being prejudiced against those in the Gay Community (Prop 8 in California)...or would you like to deny the FACT that Blacks seem to have serious problems where homosexuality is concerned? Are you Mr. Holder willing to admit that quite a few Black people are prejudice? Are you willing to admit that some in the Black Community (just like in any other community) do not even try to hide their DISLIKE OF WHITE PEOPLE, of Latin people, of Jewish people ? (Jeremiah Wright and Reverend Farrakhan) Why is that acceptable Mr. Holder? You want dialogue...then lets start by setting aside bullshit double standards that seem to be quite all right in the Black Communities if those Double Standards are in their favor.

If I don't like someone, it is because they are assholes, or because we hold completely different views on issues important to me, but it is never about the color of their skin. I can hate White people that have wronged me just as easily as I can hate people of other skin colors that have wronged me. I HATE illegal aliens...I do not care if they are Irish, Mexicans, Germans or Latins...if they are illegal, they are CRIMINAL SCUM, are instantly on my shit list. If a criminal is stealing my job, is lowering my wages, and by living 30-40 to a house are driving down the value of my home and running down my neighborhood, shouldn't I be allowed my hate...IT IS BASED ON GOOD REASONS AND BASED ON FACTS. I am NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, and am never going to be. Illegal Aliens (as example) are stealing the food off the plates of AMERICAN CITIZENS...from my perspective Legal American Citizens and Legal Immigrants should all be entitled to hate Illegal Aliens...I already know that you Mr. Holder and President Obama disagree with me, are prepared to abide by the wishes of your handlers at places like the National Chamber of Commerce where CHEAP WAGES mean more profits...shrug...that belief on your part is all the reason I need to hate you and what you stand for, has nothing to do with the color of your skin, but everything to do with your political beliefs where Illegal Aleins are concerned. (Curious...do you believe as I do that Dick Cheney truly hates Obama, would HATE any Democratic President that followed George Bush into the White House.)

FACT...a lot of us DO NOT TALK ABOUT RACE for a very good reason. DOUBLE STANDARDS. We WHITE FOLKS are well aware that BLACK FOLKS think our use of the word nigger is wrong, and I do not disagree with them. I think the word should not be used by any of us (White, Brown or Black)...that said, why is it that Blacks seem to think it is fine if they use BUZZ WORDS when talking to each other about WHITE FOLK...IE, Cracker, Whitey, HONKIE just to name off three quick ones. Latino's think it is fine for them to derogatorily refer to us Whites as GRINGOS. If the Black Community does not want us to use the word nigger, how about they stop using derogatory identifiers for us WHITES! Secondly, tell me when enough is enough? Seriously, I had NOTHING TO DO with slavery...how long am I supposed to pay some price or make some sacrifice to square the ledger with the Black Community...GET OVER IT ALREADY! I was sexually abused...I had to get over it, had to LIVE MY LIFE. Shouldn't the Black Community do the same? Being serious here Mr. Holder...when is enough enough for you? I heard your VEILED THREAT TODAY, heard you promise WHITEY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE A VERY ACTIVE CIVIL RIGHTS DIVISION...is that division going to be VERY ACTIVE seeing to it THAT ALL CITIZENS GET EQUAL RIGHTS, or is it going to be busy only for those of color, or only for those that are black? I want to know, and perhaps the Senate should have asked you that question BEFORE you were made Attorney General...a Black Bigot is just as bad as a White Bigot is....wouldn't you agree?

Lets talk Eric Holder...my comments section is OPEN, and I am officially giving you the floor here in this blog....you want to TALK, LET US TALK.

What Will Tomorrow Bring? A Boomer Calls For Fairness

It's Sunday evening, November 2nd and we as a nation are rapidly approaching the end of what has been a far to long Presidential Campaign. If the rest of America is like I am, they are tired, exhausted, ready to have it all over with. No more pundits telling us what to think, no more maps, no more polls, no more senseless attack ads as our phones signal yet another Robo Call coming in. Bruce Springsteen (the Boss) sings about change as the Obama family takes the stage in Cleveland, Ohio. Most agree, most are anticipating a Barack win on Tuesday, are expecting Obama to be our President Elect come November 5th.

One thing is certain...we are on the precipice of change. The question is, what kind of a change are we about to see, and is it possible to get enough Americans on the same game page to make that change a positive experience for American families, a coming together of America as a nation as we move into even greater days ahead, or will those changes tear apart our nation at the seams as our divisions pull us even further apart. Red verse blue states, conservative verse liberal, lower and middle class against both the elite and illegals, the boomers declaring war on everyone that expects us once again to sacrifice in the name of everybody else.

Leave no doubt, America is a divided nation, a nation that has been infected by some horrid diseases such as greed, corruption, and even illegal immigration. No matter who is elected, one thing is certain...both Presidential candidates are expecting those who live on Main Street to make great sacrifices for a better tomorrow, and it is those sacrifices, how they are crafted, how they are presented that will unite us as a nation, or tear us apart.

I can only speak for myself, can only give voice to my own heart, can only address Barack Obama as one Boomer, but it is my belief that many across this once great land share my sentiments, my passions, and my angers. As one of 75 Million Boomers, as one person in what is the largest voting block America has even known, I am tired of being treated as a second class citizen who is always being the one doing the sacrificing, always being told it's not our turn. No longer am I willing to SACRIFICE so that the next generation, or illegal aliens, or people of color can have their opportunity...I want my turn, and more importantly, I want just what is due me, nothing more and nothing less. I don't want to pay for a Wall Street Bailout when Wall Street Trashed my 401K, and I don't want to Sacrifice my Social Security income to say Social Security for my children, and their children...I don't even have children, so why should I starve to save something for those I do not even know?

Let me try to put this seeming selfishness into proper perspective.

I was four years old when John F. Kennedy was elected president, I shook his hand in Louisville Kentucky. I grew up as a child with Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, Desegregation, LBJ, Robert Kennedy, the Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights Movement that brought with it Affirmative Action. These eyes have seen and lived a lot of history, watched assassinations of our leaders, watched protests as blacks demanded equal rights, watched protests as Americans demanded the end of a wrong war, and watched as my parents and their parents adjusted to a different world where words like nigger were no longer appropriate, a world where their children (me)went to school and shared classrooms with people of a different color.

In the 70's, and for part of the 80's I can remember first hand applying for jobs, being told they could not hire me because affirmative action required that good union jobs were being given to minorities...I was a young man, I'd had nothing to do with the sins of the past, but I and others like me were asked to pay the price to level the playing field. Not asking for a medal, but am asking for some honesty...many of us in the Boomer generation paid the tab for Affirmative Action, are in some ways still paying that bill.

In the 80's, we watched as Illegal Aliens swelled our ranks, lowered our wages, and stole our jobs. We listened to, and believed Ronald Reagan when he called for us to accept an Amnesty, took him and our Federal Government at their word when they promised us it would be the last such Amnesty. We accepted the cost of absorbing millions of illegals, then as now, many of them from various Latin countries.

We played by the rules, accepted without question the sacrifices we were asked to make in the name of a better America. We paid the price for Affirmative Action, we paid the price to absorb millions of illegal aliens into our economy, and we did as our elders and our leaders asked. We paid into the Social Security System, accepted a huge increase in what we had to pay into that system. We embraced the concept of 401K's and Individual Retirement Accounts, and faithfully invested our income into these vehicles as we invested in America while putting away for our own Golden Years.

The second tsunami of illegal aliens started in the Clinton years, and instead of protecting us, the American Worker, our government sided with Big Business, embraced the concept of a One World Economy, embraced the concept that cheap wages were a good thing for bottom line profits, and therefore good for America...they were and are wrong. Loans were made to people who could not afford them, and a recipe for disaster was mixed, and once again the crisis we as a nation now face, the cost of fixing it has to be born, and it is obvious that both McCain and Obama think we Boomers should once again tighten our belts, pull up our boots and suck it in for the good of the nation.

To quote OBama, "Not this time!" We are not willing to have our Federal Government force us to continue working for an extra three, four, even five years in the name of saving Social Security...HELL NO, it is time that our Federal Government PAY BACK THOSE IOU's in the Social Security cookie jar. If you can force taxpayers to pick up a one trillion dollar bill for the bailout of Wall Street, then you can repay what you as a government have stolen from us Baby Boomers.

You want to overhaul the health care system, want to have health care for all...NOT if you are intending on using our tax dollars to provide health insurance for those who are here in American Illegally. Half of those uninsured are illegal aliens and their children...WE WILL NOT SACRIFICE to give them benefits they do not deserve. Hell no, not this time!

World Class educations...where is OUR WORLD CLASS EDUCATION? Give us that same opportunity, let us teach in our Golden Years in exchange for that World Class Education we never had a shot at. Don't ask us to pay for something we ourselves are not going to be given access too! How many blacks and other minorities got a chance at a world class education thanks to Affirmative Action? How many whites were denied that same opportunity because (lets be honest) we were the wrong color, even though our family finances were no better. Many of us BOOMERS paid that price for affirmative action, and now we want OUR EQUAL RIGHTS, WANT OUR EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. We are not going to stand still while Big Business and our Federal Government once again steal our dream, this time giving it to illegal aliens...Hell no, NOT THIS TIME.

You speak of GOOD PAYING JOBS...what good are those jobs if you allow corporate America to SHIP IN WORKERS through A) the H1 Visa program, and B) through unchecked illegal immigration coupled with rampant hiring of illegal aliens. We are not willing to accept AMNESTY (a pathway to citizenship), are not willing to see our Federal Government provide AMNESTY for 12-25 million illegal alien criminals. The gravy train is over, and if we are going to accept the sacrifices you need us to accept in the name of saving our economy, and our nation, it is going to come with a cost and the first DEMAND WE HAVE, is the DEPORTATION OF ILLEGAL ALIENS, the imprisonment of all those who hire them, imprisonment of those who aid and abet them in remaining in America, such as the Catholic Church. If you want a NEW DEAL with Main Street Americans, then we get to be FIRST IN LINE, rather than always being the ones to sacrifice in the name of some other interest group.

Affirmative Action...NO MORE, that slate needs to be wiped clean, it is time to end reverse racism, time for all citizens of America to have equal opportunity, regardless of race, creed or color...Affirmative Action is a wrong sighted, racist system that must come to an end. Martin Luther King's dream is realized with Obama's presidency, and it is unfair to continue penalizing White's for the color of our skin. We want A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD, and that reality can only be realized with the elimination of Affirmative Action.

Change is coming, and that change can be good or it can be bad. Good change will see America rise to new heights as we lead the world through the 21st century. Choose wrongly, continue to oppress and depress the middle class, continue to kowtow to illegal aliens, and you will see revolt in the streets, a civil war fought with modern days weapons in the streets of America as tens of millions are slaughtered on the altar of CHEAP WAGES and Corporate Profits. The time has come that we have a government that takes care of WE THE PEOPLE, the people being those people who are LEGAL CITIZENS AND IMMIGRANTS OF AMERICA. We the people means we put a moratorium on all immigration for a period of five-ten years while we retrain and re-employ our own citizens. If our government continues in its efforts to bankrupt and eliminate the middle class, we will see war here in America as brother kills brother and Main Street burns to the ground.

Racism, Hatred and Presidential Election

As we race towards the finish line Racism has again become a central point of discussion in this election. We can all easily point fingers at John McCain and Sarah Palin who have been trying to FOSTER hate, who have deligently fanned the fires of racism. Then we have David Gergen who last night suggested the race is not over because Obama is black. His statement stunned the nation, but sadly there is a truth to it none of us truly want to deal with, because it requires EVERYONE of every color and race to look within at their own prejudices towards others that are different than them.

I think we have come a long way in this country, but do not feel we have come far enough, a lot of the work to end racism needing to be done in non white communities, even though they may not want to admit it, admit their own RACISTS VIEWS and BELIEFS. I would agree that a lot of people will not vote for Obama because he is black, and that is wrong...problem is, why do they feel that way, and on some level do they have a right to their own resentments, anger and distrusts? Let's be honest...this race would be between Hilliary Clinton and John McCain if the black community had not voted overwhelming for Barrack Obama BECAUSE HE IS BLACK. If that same action had occurred among White voters, the race card would have instantly have been played.

As a Boomer, as a man 52 years of age, I have watched a lot of history unfold, and have some views that are in some ways at odds with each other. As example, I do not hate immigrants, and do not hate people of Latino descent...I do though HATE ILLEGAL ALIENS. The majority of illegal aliens are of Latino descent (statistics bear this out), and most of the Latino's that I come into contact within my own community are illegal aliens. Is my hatred of illegal aliens justified? Does that hatred of illegal aliens see me looking at my own local Latino community with jaundiced eyes? Could be, but does that make me a racist? I don't think so.

Some basic facts...Illegal aliens do depress the wages of lower and middle class Americans, and illegal aliens have stolen millions of jobs from Americans in industries such as construction, while also lowering the wage base for those who are still clinging to their jobs. Illegal aliens living 20-40 to a house in my own neighborhood, have lowered our property values, have degraded our communities, changed our communities in UNWELCOME WAYS. Sorry, this is America, and I do not APPRECIATE my neighbors flying their Mexican Flag instead of the American Flag. Their refusal to adapt to our American Way of life, to obey our laws have seen me personally pay a great price as my car has been hit three different times by unlicensed illegal aliens who have NO INSURANCE. Prejudice, the foundation stone of racism is a hatred based on no real set of facts or experiences...I have real facts, real life expereiences on which to base my hatred, I have from my own perspective justifiable reasons to hate illegal aliens. Does that make me a racist, or instead am I right to be angry, and ready to take actions that our government refuses to take? Let's be real here, why should I and my neighbors be forced to tolerate some of these actions because our local government, against the will of the majority has made our town a Sanctuary City because our local Chamber of Commerce embraces CHEAP WAGES.

Let us look at Affirmative Action...I've not gotten jobs because of it. In the 70's I was fine with that, but now almost 40 years later I find myself asking, "when is enough enough?" Should I have to continue suffering, should I have to lose a job I wanted because affirmative action gives a person of color BONUS POINTS in the process that often times sees a LESS QUALIFIED person getting a job I feel I was entitled to get, was denied because of the color of my skin. Therein is the rub...equal rights is not SUPERIOR RIGHTS, and giving someone ANY EDGE based on the color of their skin, gender, their sexual orientation or for any other reason is simply wrong.

I would venture to say, that many whites, especially those who are in the lower middle and lower class hold a certain grudge against the black community, because they feel blacks for too many decades now have been given an unfair advantage. Can you deny the feelings of these people, ignore them, or worse label them as racist for their true belief formed because of real life experiences they have had to endure. If you are someone that has lost a job, or a college scholorship because you were the wrong color, do you have a right to HATE? Should you be angry, or instead be forced because of federal laws to turn the other cheek after having been slapped?

Maybe the time has come to eliminate color and racism from our Nation by returning to a point where we are a Nation of Laws where every CITIZEN is entitled to fairness and justice. If you are here in America illegally, you broke the law, you are a criminal, and our government needs to deport you, no excuses, no free passes. It is time to eliminate all programs and laws that give one group an advantage over another, time to end an Affirmative Action mindset that penalizes White people because we have to check off that little box that says we are caucasian. Let's level the playing field by putting everyone under the SAME EXACT RULES that we all must abide by, no advantages, no special treatment.
