I don't get it.
Where does he say America is racist? Or that whitey is to blame?
He is just saying America gets uncomfortable when the issue comes up and prefers to segregate voluntarily. Isn't that true if you look at statistics about school, residential and recreational segregation? Some of you may think of themselves as color blind, but what does that tell us about the other 99,999999% of Americans?
Even when people mix at the workplace or afterwork social events, Holder argued, many Americans in their free time are still segregated inside what he called "race-protected cocoons."
"Saturdays and Sundays, America in the year 2009 does not in some ways differ significantly from the country that existed almost 50 years ago. This is truly sad," said Holder.
Go ahead and prove him wrong. I'm interested.
