Eric Holder’s Perfect Successor

141108-loretta-lynch-mn-1235_808848110e47a65f68a0851a20700aeaIt would be difficult to imagine any Attorney General nominee who could guarantee a more seamless transition from the Eric Holder years than Loretta Lynch, who has been the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York since 2010. Her uncanny ability to detect phantoms of white racism lurking ominously around every corner is proof-positive of her fitness to serve as Holder’s successor in the Obama administration.

Lynch believes that voter ID laws are part of a racist effort to suppress minority turnout at the polls. “Fifty years after the civil rights movement,” she avers, “we stand in this country at a time when we see people trying to take back so much of what Dr. [Martin Luther] King fought for … and [to] reverse the [gains] that have been made in voting in this country.” Consequently, Lynch is eminently “proud” that the Justice Department has filed suit against states which have enacted voter ID laws “seek[ing] to limit our ability to stand up and exercise our rights as citizens.” Lynch also supports efforts to restore the voting rights of (disproportionately black) convicted felons who “have served their debt to society”—a measure that would “en[d] the chain of permanent disenfranchisement that visits many of them.”

By Lynch’s reckoning, school discipline policies that result in higher rates of suspension and expulsion for nonwhite children than for whites, are racist as well. “Zero-tolerance programs,” she told a mostly black audience in 2013, “are often used [to] take our babies, minority children, black children, Hispanic children, and they put them out of school before they have a chance to learn.” Building on this theme, Lynch praised the Justice Department for having “gone into the South, although we’re looking further, and brought the first … ‘school-to-prison pipeline’ cases against school districts in Alabama.” The question of whether black youth exhibit disproportionate levels of disruptive behavior in the classroom—perhaps partially as a consequence of the black community’s high rate of father-absent households—did not spark Lynch’s curiosity in the least. The tidy, all-purpose explanation of racial insensitivity was sufficient for her purposes.

In April 2014, Lynch participated in a panel titled “Strengthening the Relationship Between Law Enforcement and Communities of Color” alongside Eric Holder and none other than Al Sharpton, who has never been known to squander an opportunity to depict white police officers as trigger-happy bigots when dealing with black suspects. One of the panel’s “action items” stated authoritatively: “Remember that racial bias is pervasive. Research has shown that people who are not consciously mistrustful of African Americans or intentionally racist can still behave in a way that is influenced by racial bias.” In other words, even well-meaning whites in law-enforcement are little more than unwitting Klansmen.

Lynch recently spoke about the need to “eliminate,” from the American criminal-justice system, all forms of “racial discrimination” against “the most vulnerable members of society.” Lamenting that the U.S. “currently … imprisons approximately 2.2 million people” who are “disproportionately people of color,” she emphasized the need to “reform … this aspect of our criminal justice system.” In particular, Lynch applauds the recently enacted “reduction in the sentencing disparity” that once existed between crimes involving crack cocaine (a drug most often used by poor blacks) and powder cocaine (whose users are typically more-affluent whites). Conspicuously absent from Lynch’s assessment, however, is any mention of the fact that in 1986, when the strict, federal anti-crack legislation was first being debated, the Congressional Black Caucus—deeply concerned about the degree to which crack was decimating black communities across the United States—strongly supported the legislation and actually pressed for even harsher penalties.

Lynch has long opposed capital punishment because of its alleged bias against blacks and Hispanics. “Apply the death penalty to securities fraud prosecutions [committed mostly by whites] and [you'll] wipe out [the racial disparity] just like that,” she said sarcastically during a 2002 roundtable discussion. But even if someone could convince Lynch that capital punishment could be applied without any racial bias whatsoever, she would nonetheless view it as immoral because of the disparate impact it would continue to have on nonwhites, who commit homicides—i.e., the crimes that are subject to the death penalty—at much higher rates than whites. “That, to me, has always been the problem with the death penalty,” says Lynch. “Because you can be as fair as possible in a particular case, but the reality is that the federal death penalty is still going to hit harder on certain groups.”

In recent years Lynch collaborated with Attorney General Holder in a high-profile Justice Department investigation that ultimately forced Citigroup to pay a $7 billion fine for having made so many “subprime” mortgage loans with a high probability of default, thereby helping to trigger the 2008 financial crisis that, as Lynch puts it, “devastated the nation and the world’s economies.” Content to depict corporate greed and insufficiently regulated markets as the principal causes of the economic calamity that struck six years ago, Lynch makes no mention of the various government policies—most notably the Community Reinvestment Actwhich, in the name of “social and economic justice,” required banks to knowingly lend money to underqualified borrowers, particularly nonwhite minorities, and thereby set the stage for crisis.

Myopic vision. Distrust of the free market. Obsession with race. This is Loretta Lynch, President Obama’s new Attorney General. It’s a job she was born for.

    Par for the course. Wouldn’t expect BO to exhibit any class at this stage in the game.

    Keep that race mojo going ‘Retta, too many old whiteys still around. You go girl!

    • WillyWallace

      Please approve her and let her continue Obama’s and Holder’s race war since that really turned off so many their own voters and if she does more of the same, then 2016 will be a landslide for the Republicans. Blacks are turning on them now and finally speaking up and their voices are the only voices Blacks hear. Hispanics are turning too since Obama is taking for granted that they too vote in mass and not on the issues. Letting “Hispanics” crash our border is Obama’s, and the Democrats, downfall especially when Obama is about to approve millions of work permits therefore taking away more jobs from Blacks and Hispanics.

    It’s amazing this ID nonsense is even being discussed in the 21st century. We KNOW why they don’t want to show an ID and it has NOTHING to do with keeping “minorities” from voting. Which “minorities” don’t have an ID? Name one!

  • johnlac

    Why should anybody expect expect anything different from Obama? Fifty years after the passage of the !964 Civil Rights Bill blacks are still whining and moaning about racism keeping them back. How many white people, other than the usual rabid white liberals, care anymore? Nothing ever changes.

  • DaCoachK

    So sick and tired of this nonsense. There was a time when blacks wanted to be a part of America, actually be Americans. The entire community used to be embarrassed by the poor behavior in its neighborhoods. “An embarrassment to the race” is how criminals were referred to. But since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 showed black hustlers the profit in victim-hood and false-outrage, many blacks hate America and believe the country owes them a living. This woman replacing Holder is one of these type coloreds. Sick and tired of this stuff.

    Who thinks she can pass muster with the Senate? Does Obama truly think he can ram her down our throats in the next 60 days? After that, it’s a dead deal.

    • http://www.stubbornthings.org NAHALKIDES

      The Democrats might be able to pull it off. There has to be a lame-duck session of Congress to approve a CR to fund the government after Dec. 11, and once the Senate is in session, Harry Reid can force the nomination to be brought up. Unless Republicans can delay it somehow, Democrats have the votes to confirm her.

      It would be interesting to see if Republicans try to stop the nomination during the lame-duck session, and if they succeed whether the new Senate Republicans have the guts to reject her nomination.

  • Dado7

    So – what is the over/under on how many Republican Senators vote to confirm her without even mentioning any of her previous comments about race? The new Republican controlled Senate will confirm her because they are afraid they will be labeled as racists if they don’t. How’s that for ironic.

    • Joy Beum

      Dado: I can see that changing. Affirmative action and political correctness must be left in the past. Now is the time for rebuilding and cleaning up the mess the muslim-in-chief has made. Remember ‘sticks & stones’…….

  • Kafir911

    Here in Miami on the nightly news there is a disproportionate number of blacks making headlines for committing crimes. I suppose that’s profiling as well. I find it ironic that many black prisoners are converting to Islam at an alarming rate who have no idea that Muslims were the biggest and most vicious slave traders for the past 1400 years.

    • MrUniteUs1

      90% of Black men arrested are unemployed. More jobs = less crime.
      IMO opinion every American citizen 16 and over that wants a job should be able to find one. If the private sector is unable or unwilling then the public sector should step in. Summer job programs for example are a great investment. I’d like to see shop classes bought back to high schools. That way students can graduate with skills. Some are inspired to go on to be engineers, technicians, and architects.

      • JB Ziggy Zoggy

        Blacks have a high unemployment rate because most of them are lazy sociopaths who don’t want jobs. Not that they have the skills necessary in the first place.

        • MrUniteUs1

          Do you feel the same way about unemployed whites?

  • MrUniteUs1

    Lol the CRA was started in 1979, and had nothing to do with the latest financial crisis. Blame greed. Blame Moody’s and Goldman Sachs, for duping investors into “highly rated” subprime loan portfolios. Blame Daniel Mudd for increasing Fannie Mae exposure to sub prime loans from 5% to 25%. He decided to join Investments Banks in the highly profitable, but risky subprime loan market. Blame deregulation,
    for allowing negative amortization, no money down, no doc, loans, balloon payments in 3 years. Loan originators didn’t care if borrowers defaulted. They got paid at the close of escrow. Speculators would buy a house and then flip it before the balloon payment hit. The vast majority of those that defaulted were of the Caucasian persuasian. But of the right wing wants you to think it was the minorites faults. Hank Paulsen needed $700 billion dollars from tax payers, to settle things with foreign investors. Ask Hank why he made 40 trips to China.

    • kasandra

      Why do you insist on demonstrating how little you know. Enforcement of the CRA languished from 1979 until Clinton came into office. They he, thru his Secretary of HUD, Andrew Cuomo, threatened banks that if they did not give nearly 40 percent of mortgages to people who would not qualify under normal lending criteria in order to further the goals of the CRA, they would have problems with the federal government if, for example, they wanted to merge or acquire other banks. They did this since Fannie Mae and Freddie Mae were giving A+ ratings to crappy loans and selling them as investments to investment houses, who sold them to their customers, to “socialize” the debt. Meanwhile Fannie Mae officials like Clinton OMB Chief Franklin Raines and DOJ muckity muck Jamie Gorelick made millions of dollars in bonuses for this. And, since many of the loans were not A+ loans but, because they were given to people who could not pay them back thanks to Misters Clinton and Cuomo, the investments proved worthless and, accordingly, the crash.

      • MrUniteUs1

        40 percent? Think about it. Does that sound believable to you? Can you produce a source. Fannie mae and Freddie Mac are not rating agencies.
        Moody and Standards and Poors are ratings agencies. They were the ones giving A* ratings to crappy loans. Franklin Raines limited the subprime loans portion to less than 5%. His successor Daniel Mudd increased the exposure to 25% when he took over in 2005

        Read up on Daniel Mudd. Find out why he was sued by the SEC,

        http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/01/24/mudd-resigns-as-fortress-chief-executive/?_r=0

        • kasandra

          Fannie Mae rated the mortgages it was backing assigning letter grades with ‘A+’ being the top rated. As to Mr. Cuomo demanding that 38 percent of mortgages be loans that would not not mave been made under standing lending criteria, that was the figure I have read. Do you have a more authoritative figure? I don’t plan on debating this endlessly with you. Books have been written on the causes of the housing collapse.

          The entire lending scandal that caused the economic crash was because Whitey gave free credit to the wrong people.

  • Scar

    Does anyone else remember Ebonics? A couple of decades ago, specifically in Oakland, so many black students were failing their English classes that race-baiters similar to Sharpton and Jackson decided that the basic curriculum was “racist.” It represented the way white people talk, so black children shouldn’t be expected to understnd proper grammar. Hence, Ebonics was born. What was it? It replaced the teaching of standard English with gutter talk from “da ‘hood.” I mention this because it represents the age-old tactic of people like Holder and Lynch. If blacks fail at anything, or if crime statistics are disproportionate, it’s society’s (i.e. whitey’s) fault. This crap won’t stop until we say “ENOUGH!” Lynch should be rejected by the Senate, but it’s not going to happen. After all, that would be racist!

  • cree

    The pleasure and justification of Holder’s resignation is short lived. Expect no change in the DOJ except that the AG switches from male black racist to female black racist. Diversity and social justice, you know. And thinking the new AG will prosecute Holder for crimes in violation of his oath of office, is absurd to contemplate.

    According to several media sources, Lynch was recommended to Obama by none other than Al Sharpton, the ultimate race hustler.
