Eric Holder: Promoting a Racist Agenda in Ferguson

In an opinion piece that Eric Holder wrote for The Saint Louis Post Dispatch (click here to read it), Eric Holder pushes the failed logic that skin color should be the deciding factor in the hiring of police officers.  He states, "...police forces should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve."

I say that our nation's Attorney General is an idiot.  I say that I would rather live in a town where the police force hires the most qualified persons to do the job, regardless of their skin color.  

He also blathers on about "...the deeper conversation that the legitimate demonstrators are trying to advance."  More asinine drivel.  What conversation topic would that be?  That there's too many white cops?  That when things don't go their way, African Americans are justified in robbing, looting, and burning down their neighborhoods?  

I'll give credit where it's due; Holder's letter asks the residents of Ferguson to be patient and not participate in the appalling acts that have been on display there lately.  Aside from that, it misses the mark.
