"Holder vows to restore DOJ civil rights"

[Clio the Leo]

Again, let me respectfully say to those who had a problem with Mr. Holder's accusation that we've often been "cowards" when dealing with racial issues in this country ...... SUCK IT!!!!!

Holder vows to restore DOJ civil rights
By JONATHAN MARTIN

Barack Obama went to Selma, Ala., two years ago to claim a place in the lineage of civil rights pioneers.

His African-American attorney general returned to mark “Bloody Sunday” again — this time, with a pledge to restore the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division and end “the scourge of racial profiling.”

He was there to commemorate the day in 1965 when Alabama state troopers beat a group of civil rights marchers, but he also spoke to those in the church of racial struggles today, with a pledge that Obama would help protect the gains won by their predecessors.

“Under my leadership, the Civil Rights Division will fight discrimination and inequality just as fiercely as the Criminal Division fights crime,” Holder promised in the sanctuary that often served as a local headquarters for civil rights activists in the ’60s. “Under my leadership, in all that it does, the Civil Rights Division will reflect the spirit of the movement that inspired its creation.”

And the battles just begun
Theres many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...

cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Tonight...

1. As much as I care about civil rights... And I do.... I really want Holder to restore...

Justice to the Justice Department and investigate all of the laws that were broken under the previous Administration.

the Civil Rights division.
