U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says America is a "nation of cowards" when it comes to discussing racial issues. The first African-American Attorney General added: "If we're going to ever make progress, we're going to have to have the guts, we have to have the determination, to be honest with each other."

Lmao, sweet, someone finally says it.
I have to agree too, since people get so uncomfortable and awkward when it comes to discussing race, therefore no one talks about it...and racial issues go unnoticed.

There is no way that these racial issues can be discussed in a civilized way....not when theres organizations like the KKK's roaming around... it's ignorant ppl like that who make race an "ISSUE"

It's ignorance and apathy
They don't know and don't care

The way I see it, people are just really ashamed of the history of this country...black people are ashamed to be decendents of slaves, and white people are ashamed of being descendents of slave owners..so there's that insecurity that doesn't let people open up.
