BREAKING NEWS Obama Administration moves to change name of Dept of Justice to the Dept. of "Just Us" after Coates testifies on Black Panther polling case. Apparent reverse racism has become systemic problem dating back several years and growing more problematic. THIS is NOT the Dream of MLK!! Justice is supposed to be blind TO race, not blinded BY race.

Listening to Mr. Coates testify that he had been directed by superiors that no cases of voter intimidation against whites would be pursued was very disheartening. It was also frustrating to see that two of the named supervisors were themselves minorities. I believe that Dr. King fought to see equality for ALL men of ALL races. I do not believe that Dr. King fought to put men and women of color in charge so that they could “get whitey” ...pay back was NOT what MLK preached. Those who seek such pay back do so at the peril of the memory of such great Civil Rights leaders who fought and died to gain equality.

Dr. King taught that one day we could live in a world where people would “...not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character”.  To attempt to judge under any other measure is to shame what the Civil Rights movement was about and what leaders like Dr. King ultimately died to attain. So I say “Shame on those in the Department of Justice who seek to distinguish whether a case is worthy of investigation based on the color of the victims skin”.

This case is a litmus test for President Obama, Eric Holder, and the rest of the administration. Should it go ignored and those guilty of enforcing such racist or reverse racist actions not be fired, it will be a mark on the Civil Rights crowning achievement of finally placing a man of color in the Oval Office. I do not support the agenda of President Obama, nor did I vote for him to be elected. I felt then and feel now that President Obama does not have the best plan for restoring our nation. The color of his skin never entered into my decision of why I would vote for the other candidate.

President Obama ran on a platform that in part declared he would be a uniter and not a divider and yet our country has never been more divided. He made many promises on his campaign trail, as have other candidates, and like many other candidates he has failed time and again to keep those promises. I would hope that the one promise he could find in his power to keep would be that of the one made to all the leaders whose shoulders he stands upon. Men like Dr. Martin Luther King, Mary M Bethune, Fredrick Douglass, Medgar Evans, Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, and many others before him, it is to these people who President Obama and Eric Holder owe much of their success and it is to these leaders that they owe the honor of ensuring that justice is Finally Equal!
