So, yet again, everyone who disagrees with liberal consensus is a racist. Got it. :rolleyes:

This new revamp doesn't address the fact that the biggest violator of black Americans' civil rights today doesn't come from the Ku Klux Klan, “predatory” lenders, or from Mr. Stickings' hated conservatives. Rather, the number one violator unfortunately comes from street criminals within our communities. If the KKK or conservatives were unleashing even 10% of the violence that gangs are wreaking in so many black communities, the NAACP would rightfully be up in arms. I guess because the perpetrator's face looks much like our own, it's alright with them and the Justice Department. And apparently alright with Mr. Stickings. How about all of the unsolved crimes against black crime victims across America, where “minorities fare disproportionately poorly”? More vigorous prosecution, so we get some justice like others do? The virtual war zones in many of our communities?

This is 2009, not 1959 or 1989. I look forward to when Mr. Stickings will actually address what is the main threat to us black Americans' civil rights, and not from a model that's 50 years old. It wasn't Rush Limbaugh who tried to rape my aunt as she came home from work. It wasn't the KKK who tried to rob my elder cousin's home either. It wasn't a so-called predatory lender who murdered one of my family friends either.

Why stop with banks, or use Citibank not merely for the “utility” the nut-case caller on NPR refers to banks now, but for the “people's bank” that extremists like Thom Hartmann find appealing? Why not have Gummint Motors and Chrysler do this, as well as all retail stores nation-wide?

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. is reshaping the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division by pushing it back into some of the most important areas of American political life, including voting rights, housing, employment, bank lending practices and redistricting after the 2010 census.

Maybe they could make sure banks loan money to people who don't meet the standard loan requirements. What's the worst that could happen?

Corruption of the Census by these Demmies has long been predicted.

No bonus points earned for radicalism or Perpetual Victimhood, Forever, Incorporated nonsense.
