Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder described the United States Wednesday as a nation of cowards on matters of race. In doing so, he appeals to white guilt saying they are “uncomfortable.”
This comment section is for the readers of Ft. Hard Knox, a place for political conservatives to share information about online activism. We are not "fair and balanced," and we aren't refereeing a "free speech zone." Intelligent, funny, and on-topic comments are welcome. Trolls, spam, and liberal propaganda are not. We may occassionally approve a comment with an obvious lefty-slant so that we can amuse ourselves by making fun of it, but most will be deleted. (Why? Because we're busy, we have lives, and when we want to talk to you we'll go visit you on Digg or the Daily KOS.)
This is a private blog, and we reserve the right to make up our own rules as we go along. The few comments which manage to squeak by our censors reflect the opinion of the commentator, and not necessarily the staff of Ft. Hard Knox.
Hint: One sure-fire way to get your comment sent directly to the "spam" folder is to call us "racists" for disagreeing with a policy of the current POTUS or speaking out against terrorism.

I’m white and I don’t feel any guilt about what Holder said. What he said is true. Anyone who suspects and then resents, for whatever reason, that Holder was trying to make people feel guilty about this truth should take one look back at all the right-wing blabbering after Hurricane Katrina. Right-Wing awareness of The Lower Ninth Ward before Katrina was nil. Afterward, all the right could write about was how lazy the black people were and how they expected handouts from the government. You can deny it all you want. What Holder said was true. You are afraid to admit that you are racist.
Ummm – Gustav – let me see if I can get this straight.
Orlando (or the Ft. Hard Knox staff? or the political right? Who are you addressing, exactly?) is/are racist and afraid to admit it, as evidenced by the fact that someone (you didn’t list anyone specific) criticized black people after Hurricane Katrina for being lazy?
Do you have any idea how much sense that does NOT make?
