Eric Holder on America and Race: 'A Nation of Cowards'

Are you a coward? Chicken? When it comes to the issue of race, why are Americans [including Christians] so reticent and reluctant to engage in honest conversations? What are we scared of? This is a thought provoking and honest assessment about the American people and the issue of race by Attorney General Eric Holder.

I have two instructions for you:

1. Read the article below.
2. Discuss. Agree? Disagree? Damn it: Why does it always have to be just about black and white? What does "translated into policy" mean? What are we afraid of?

For those bored, I have some previous stuff dealing with race:

• Why many Americans Prefer their Sundays Segregated
• I Don't Dislike White People
• Obama's Historial Speech on Race
