Eric Holder’s racialist hypocrisy
**Posted by Phineas
Remember when Eric Holder threatened to seek civil rights charges against George Zimmerman in the wake of his acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin? Remember how he sued states, Β claiming that their voter identification laws harmed the civil rightsΒ of minority Americans? Remember how he sued Louisiana for providing school vouchers, charging thatΒ they reinforced segregation?
Well, you can forget it,Β if the victim is White.
A woman who said she was brutally attacked by a group of black teenagers in Pittsburghβs North Side Sunday said the girls savagely beat her while calling her racial slurs.
(…)
Police said Slepski was savagely beaten after the girls threw a bottle at her car on Concord Street and she stopped to confront them.
βI was mad. I knew they were younger. I thought they were in their early 20s. I got out and said, βWhat is your problem?ββ Slepski said.
All four African-American girls then called her names before getting physically violent.
βThey yelled, βShut up white [expletive].β The other said, βGet that white [expletive],ββ Slepski said.
Slepski said she tried to get back into her car but the girls grabbed her by the hair.
βThe one punched me in the head and I was on a set of concrete steps and my head hit the concrete so hard,β said Slepski. βThen they all got on top of me and all their hands were in my hair. They kept telling each other to, βKick her in the head. Kick her head in the concrete.ββ
Writing at PJMedia, Christian Adams, who’s made a second career out of tracking Holder’s dedication to racial injustice, saysΒ Holder is no betterΒ than the old segregationists:
Well hereβs an easy case Eric. It wonβt be too hard to prove a violation of 18 USC 249 or 18 USC 245 in this context. No outrageous self-defense defenses here.
But like in all the other similar cases you refuse to prosecute, the victim here wasnβt one of βyour people.β Gingerβs parents didnβt endure the sort of garbage that your wifeβs parents did down south. So she isnβt entitled to equal protection of the law, right?
Make no mistake, Ginger isnβt the only victim who wonβt get justice from Justice, just because of her race. Neither will the parents who were beaten at the Wisconsin State Fair. Nor will the parents in Ohio who saw thugs come on their lawn shouting racial slurs before they beat them.
In the United States, we like to say Justice is blind, holding all equal before the law. In Eric Holder’s America, however, Justice peaks out from under her blindfold to check your skin color, first.
