				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #12171b;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/141108-loretta-lynch-mn-1235_808848110e47a65f68a0851a20700aea.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-244989" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/141108-loretta-lynch-mn-1235_808848110e47a65f68a0851a20700aea-381x350.jpg" alt="141108-loretta-lynch-mn-1235_808848110e47a65f68a0851a20700aea" width="335" height="308" /></a>It 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 </span><span style="color: #1b1b1b;">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&#8217;s successor in the Obama administration.</span></p>
<p>Lynch believes that <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1666">voter ID</a> laws are part of a racist effort to suppress minority turnout at the polls. “Fifty years after the civil rights movement,” she <a href="http://gotnews.com/ag-nominee-loretta-lynch-voter-id-racist/">avers</a>, “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.” <span style="color: #1b1b1b;">Lynch also <a href="http://www.justice.gov/usao/nye/pr/August14/2014Aug13.php"><span style="color: #12171b;">supports</span></a></span> efforts<span style="color: #1b1b1b;"> 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.”</span></p>
<p>By Lynch&#8217;s <a href="http://gotnews.com/ag-nominee-loretta-lynch-voter-id-racist/">reckoning</a>, 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 &#8230; &#8216;school-to-prison pipeline&#8217; 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&#8217;s high rate of father-absent households—did not spark Lynch&#8217;s curiosity in the least. The tidy, all-purpose explanation of racial insensitivity was sufficient for her purposes.</p>
<p>In April 2014, <span style="color: #000000;">Lynch participated in a <a href="http://gotnews.com/ag-nominee-loretta-lynch-participated-controversial-race-panel/"><span style="color: #011480;">panel</span></a> titled “Strengthening the Relationship Between Law Enforcement and Communities of Color” alongside Eric Holder and none other than <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1527"><span style="color: #011480;">Al Sharpton</span></a>, 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&#8217;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.</span></p>
<p>Lynch recently <a href="http://www.justice.gov/usao/nye/pr/August14/2014Aug13.php">spoke</a> about the need<span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span style="color: #1b1b1b;">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 &#8230; this aspect of our criminal justice system.” In particular, Lynch applauds the recently enacted “reduction in the sentencing <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=1632">disparity</a>” that once existed between crimes involving crack cocaine (</span><span style="color: #000000;">a drug most often used by poor blacks) </span><span style="color: #1b1b1b;">and powder cocaine (</span><span style="color: #000000;">whose users are typically more-affluent whites). Conspicuously absent from Lynch&#8217;s assessment, however, is any mention of the fact that in 1986, when the strict, federal anti-crack legislation was first being debated, the <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=7126"><span style="color: #680900;">Congressional Black Caucus</span></a>—deeply concerned about the degree to which crack was decimating black communities across the United States—strongly <a href="http://www.city-journal.org/html/6_2_my_black.html"><span style="color: #680900;">supported</span></a> the legislation and actually pressed for <i>even harsher penalties</i>.</span></p>
<p>Lynch has long <a href="http://gotnews.com/read-lorettalynch-hates-death-penalty-leads-dead-blacks/"><span style="color: #0433ff;">opposed</span></a> 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.”</p>
<p>In recent years Lynch<span style="color: #272727;"> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/27/loretta-lynch-attorney-general_n_6058252.html">collaborated</a> 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, “</span>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 <i>government</i> policies<span style="color: #1b1b1b;">—most notably </span>the <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/viewSubCategory.asp?id=809">Community Reinvestment Act</a><span style="color: #1b1b1b;">—</span>which, 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.</p>
<p>Myopic vision. Distrust of the free market. Obsession with race. This is Loretta Lynch, President Obama&#8217;s new Attorney General. It&#8217;s a job she was born for.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Attorney General hopeful Tom Perez's race-based justice scheme surfers a major setback. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #232323;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/113_2014_thomas-perez8201_c0-112-3670-2251_s561x327.jpg"><img class="alignleft wp-image-244578 " src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/113_2014_thomas-perez8201_c0-112-3670-2251_s561x327-450x262.jpg" alt="113_2014_thomas-perez8201_c0-112-3670-2251_s561x327" width="352" height="205" /></a>On Monday, one of the Obama administration’s foremost racial arsonists was given his comeuppance by a federal judge. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez, who is on the American left’s short list for replacing U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, was informed by Judge Richard J. Leon that his effort to find housing discrimination where none existed <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/finance/222690-judge-tosses-hud-discrimination-rule"><span style="color: #1255cc;">amounted</span></a> to “wishful thinking on steroids.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Perez sought to apply the policy of “disparate impact” to housing. Judicial Watch <a href="http://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/jw-sues-hud-for-records-of-obama-administration-involvement-in-controversial-minnesota-new-jersey-disparate-impact-discrimination-cases/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">explains</span></a> this contemptible concept. &#8220;Under the theory of &#8216;disparate impact,&#8217; a defendant can be held liable for discrimination for a race-neutral policy that <i>statistically</i> disadvantages a specific minority group even if that negative ‘impact&#8217; was neither foreseen nor intended,” they write. &#8220;In such cases, defendants can be forced to pay for harm caused not by their own actions, but by economic and statistical realities, even if beyond their control.” (italics original)</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Leon wasn’t buying it. He characterized the attempt to legitimize disparate impact as a vehicle to expand the possibility of filing discrimination cases as “hutzpah (sic) (bordering on desperation).” “This is yet another example of an administrative agency trying desperately to write into law that which Congress never intended to sanction,” he wrote, adding that the arguments made by Obama administration attorneys were “nothing less than an artful misinterpretation” of the law.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">The law to which Leon referred is the <a href="http://portal.hud.gov/hudportal/HUD?src=/program_offices/fair_housing_equal_opp/FHLaws/yourrights"><span style="color: #1255cc;">Fair Housing Act</span></a>, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). In February 2013, HUD <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/finance/281997-hud-finalizes-discriminatory-lending-rules-opposed-by-financial-industry"><span style="color: #1255cc;">made</span></a> disparate impact a policy tool, one the administration employed to build discriminatory cases against mortgage lending institutions that garnered them hundreds of millions of dollars.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">In July of that year, Wells Fargo paid a $175 million settlement after the Department of Justice (DOJ) accused the bank of discriminating against thousands black and Hispanic borrowers—based on loan analyses made by the bank and its independent brokers from the years 2004 and 2009. Wells Fargo admitted no wrongdoing, claiming it was settling to avoid even costlier litigation expenses. That windfall was topped by a record-setting $335 million settlement made by Bank of America in 2011, following allegations of discrimination by Countrywide Lending, purchased by Bank of America in 2008. Once again the feds used disparate impact to allege that minority borrowers had received less favorable borrowing terms than whites.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Perez is an <a href="http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/051211-572091-holders-anti-bank-witch-hunt.htm?p=2"><span style="color: #1255cc;">old hand</span></a> at this shakedown racket. In 2011, the DOJ created the Fair Lending Unit staffed with more than 20 lawyers, economists and statisticians, determined to ferret out discriminatory lending practices at the more than 60 banks that were targeted at the time. The man in charge of that division was Special Counsel for Fair Lending Eric Halperin. Halperin ultimately answered to none other than Tom Perez, who headed the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That would be the same Tom Perez who compared bankers to KKK Klansmen, insisting the only difference between the two groups was that bankers discriminate &#8220;with a smile&#8221; and &#8220;fine print,” but were nonetheless &#8220;every bit as destructive as the cross burned in a neighborhood.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That would also be the same Tom Perez who in 2010 <a href="http://www.mainjustice.com/2010/06/23/perez-calls-for-reining-in-wild-wild-west-in-lending/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">railed</span></a> against the housing meltdown &#8220;fueled in large part by risky and irresponsible lending practices that allowed too many Americans to get unsustainable or unaffordable home loans.” It was then he promised that once the Fair Housing Unit was up and running, it &#8220;will use every tool in our arsenal, including, but not limited to, disparate impact theory.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Perez is determined to protect disparate impact theory from being adjudicated by the Supreme Court. On Nov. 7, 2011 the Court agreed to hear <i>Magner</i> v. <i>Gallagher, </i>a case about racial discrimination in housing. As the Weekly Standard <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/articles/thomas-perez-makes-deal_724692.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">reveals</span></a>, a Supreme Court decision on the theory was utterly anathema to Perez, whose effort to make the case “go away” became his self-admitted “top priority.” The case was about several property owners who alleged that St. Paul, Minnesota’s ramped up enforcement of the city’s housing code for rental units reduced the availability of low-income rentals, creating a disparate impact affecting black Americans. The district court tossed the suit, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reinstated it, complete with the concept of disparate impact. The city appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court, which was poised to decide for the first time whether disparate impact cases pursued under the auspices of the Fair Housing Act can be brought before the courts.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Perez, who has referred to disparate impact as the “lynchpin” of his civil rights agenda, didn’t want to take that chance. He managed to get the city to drop its case from the Supreme Court docket. Judicial Watch provided some of the sordid details, noting they had obtained documents &#8220;under the Minnesota Data Practices Act, showing that St. Paul City Attorney Sara Grewing arranged a meeting between the then-chief of DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, current Secretary of Labor Tom Perez, and Mayor Chris Coleman a week before the city’s withdrawal from the case, captioned <i>Magner v. Gallagher</i>. Following Perez’s visit, the city withdrew its case and thanked DOJ and officials at HUD for their involvement.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">In June of 2013, the Supreme Court agreed to hear another case revolving around disparate impact. <i>Township of Mount Holly v. Mount Holly Gardens Citizens</i> concerned the town’s efforts to redevelop a blighted neighborhood. A group of renters <a href="http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424127887323566804578551270111594516"><span style="color: #1255cc;">filed suit</span></a> alleging the move violated the FHA because the majority of the renters were non-white and they were unable to afford the new mid-priced, single-family dwellings. The district court dismissed the argument ruling all the renters were equally affected. The Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed that ruling, basing their decision on disparate impact.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Once again Perez prevailed, <a href="http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/mount-holly-settlement-spares-fair-housing-act-for-now"><span style="color: #1255cc;">getting</span></a> Mt. Holly to drop the case, and once again preventing the Supreme Court from issuing a ruling on disparate impact.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Judge Leon noticed. In a stunning rebuke of Perez himself, Leon accused the Labor Secretary of gaming the system, timing cases and arranging the aforementioned settlements he found “particularly troubling.”</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">It ought to trouble every American that the Obama administration remains determined to codify racial discrimination based on the idea that statistics can be a viable substitute for actual intent. To image how absurd this theory truly is, one need only apply it to the National Basketball Association where a “disproportionate&#8221; number of black American athletes, relative to the percentage of the nations’s overall population, earn a living.  Should white college basketball players who weren’t drafted by the NBA be able to file a lawsuit alleging discrimination, based on nothing more than that statistical discrepancy? Absent the necessity of proving intent to discriminate, the power of the government to file discrimination charges become virtually unlimited.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Leon noted there was nothing in the wording of the FHA or anything he read regarding Congress’s intent when it passed the FHA that supported HUD’s interpretation of the law. He further noted that complying with disparate impact theories would force various entities to compile information on a number of factors, including race, religion, gender, etc., that those entities are often banned from obtaining under state law.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Perez may be forced to work overtime yet again. The Supreme Court has agreed to hear <i>Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project.</i> State officials have been <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-10-02/texas-housing-bias-case-gets-u-s-supreme-court-review.html"><span style="color: #1255cc;">sued</span></a> by the Inclusive Communities Project, a Dallas-based group advocating integrated housing. The ICP alleges the state allocated a disproportionate number of federal low-income housing tax credits to minority neighborhoods, a practice that “makes dwellings unavailable in particular areas, thereby perpetuating residential segregation in the Dallas area,” the group said in court papers. The federal appeals court that ruled in favor of the plaintiffs is one of 11 that have determined the Fair Housing Act allows disparate-impact claims. Texas officials, led by Attorney General Greg Abbott, are eager to have the Supreme Court hear the case. “The far-reaching scope of disparate-impact liability makes this a question of exceptional importance,” they said in their appeal.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">The Equal Credit Opportunity Act used to hammer Wells Fargo and Bank of America may also be affected by the ruling. Miami attorney Paul Hancock, who filed a brief backing the Lone Star state on behalf of business groups led by the American Bankers Association, illuminated the implications if the Court decides to leave the theory of disparate impact intact. “It really pushes more toward advancement of racial quotas as the only way to avoid legal claims,” he said in a phone interview.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">Disparate impact may do <i>far</i> more than that. After the election, the Obama administration intends to push its “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” agenda. It requires HUD to <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/08/obama-administration-using-housing-department-to-compel-diversity-in/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">gather data</span></a> on segregation and discrimination. That data that will be used to racially diversify every city and suburb in America, <a href="http://nypost.com/2014/10/26/obamas-plans-for-a-secret-radical-agenda-after-the-elections/"><span style="color: #1255cc;">superseding</span></a> all local zoning ordinances and forcing those cities and suburbs to accept subsidized housing. “Geospatial data” will pinpoint alleged segregation hotspots that will be forced to comply with HUD&#8217;s efforts to racially balance the entire nation. &#8220;Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan when he unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">That’s nothing less than an <i>exponential expansion</i> of the disparate impact theory.</p>
<p style="color: #232323;">By the time you read this, it is likely we will know which party controls the Senate. If it is Republicans, one of the first orders of business should be making it clear that Tom Perez’s chance of succeeding Eric Holder are zero. It will send a clear message that racial huckstering based on dubious legal theories will no longer be tolerated. After that, pruning as many race-addled zealots from HUD as possible would be a nice follow up.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="color: #000000;"><strong>In this special episode, our host, best-selling crime author Andrew Klavan, tells the hard-hitting cop-story of the nation&#8217;s top law officer &#8211; Attorney General Eric Holder: Federal Dick. See the video and transcript below. </strong></p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/n643b5N73ag" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p style="color: #000000;">TRANSCRIPT:</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">I’m Andrew Klavan and this is the Revolting Truth.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">America’s chief law officer has decided to step down and so it’s time to take a farewell look at the career of&#8230;</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">“Eric Holder, Federal Dick!”</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">In 2008, Eric Holder Federal Dick became the first black Attorney General of the United States.  But that’s all right &#8211; there are plenty of decent, honest African Americans too.  There’s one who lives right down the road from me.  Seems like a great guy.  So you can’t blame all of them for one man.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Shortly after taking office, Eric Holder Federal Dick declared that he would not prosecute the fascist thugs of the new Black Panther party who had paraded in front of a polling place carrying weapons.  Holder said the panthers’ actions weren’t as bad as the sort of voter intimidation once practiced against [quote] “my people,” by which I guess he meant fascists, or thugs, or just any bunch of evil schmucks in leather and dark glasses.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">Eric Holder Federal Dick also helped improve people’s lives by refusing to enforce laws like the Defense of Marriage Act because he didn’t agree with them.  Thus he effectively stripped our elected representatives of their constitutional power to make meaningful legislation.  Which improved people’s lives in more lawless countries like Burundi, because now they don’t have to feel so bad when they compare their governments to ours.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">But Eric Holder Federal Dick always took Americans’ first amendment rights seriously and went out of his way to insure they would not be overused.  He tapped the phone calls and emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen, and secretly obtained phone records of reporters and editors at the Associated Press.  Whenever people criticized the attorney general’s actions, he accused the critics of “racial animus,”&#8230; then he hid his face in his hands and said, “Ha, ha, ha, I’m black so no one can see me.”</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">And then there was Fast and Furious, a brilliantly conceived operation in which American law officers were forced to stand idly by while nearly 2,000 weapons were sold to Mexican mobsters.  Who could have ever foreseen that the mobsters would use these weapons to commit crimes, including the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent? Certainly not Eric Holder, Federal Dick.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">When Congress attempted to investigate the Attorney General’s role in this scheme, Eric Holder Federal Dick testified under oath that he had only found out about Fast and Furious recently; when memos were produced showing he’d known about it for nearly a year, he said he hadn’t read the memos; when Congress tried to subpoena more documents, the president shielded Holder by declaring the documents were protected by executive privilege. When congress held the Attorney General in contempt, he hid his face in his hands and said, “Ha, ha, ha, I’m black so no one can see me.”</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">It was because of actions like these that in a recent poll, Eric Holder was rated less favorably than Barack Obama, the Republican Party, hives, toothache, and a suspicious looking sore that breaks out on your lip unexpectedly before a big date.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">So today we lift the tattered pages of what used to be our constitution to wave a fond farewell to Attorney General Eric Holder.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">What a Federal Dick.</p>
<p style="color: #000000;">I’m Andrew Klavan with the Revolting Truth.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why the Left made a dialogue about the “yellow complex” off-limits. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eric-holder-600x350.jpg"><img class="alignleft  wp-image-223361" alt="eric-holder-600x350" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/eric-holder-600x350-450x262.jpg" width="315" height="183" /></a>Remember when Attorney General Eric Holder called Americans a “nation of cowards” who put “certain subjects . . . off limits”? Holder, of course, was referring to “subjects” that in fact we do nothing else but talk about non-stop – the refusal of whites to admit the persistence of white racism and its responsibility for all the ills afflicting the black underclass. To quote Paul Krugman for this received wisdom, “Race is the Rosetta Stone that makes sense of many otherwise incomprehensible aspects of U.S. politics.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yet Holder was unwittingly accurate, for there is a subject the mainstream culture and political discourse never touches: what Harlem Renaissance novelist Claude McKay called the “yellow complex.” This is the psychological condition of light-skinned blacks that was explored in novels of the 1920s like McKay’s </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">Home to Harlem</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> and Wallace Thurman’s </span><i style="line-height: 1.5em;">The Blacker the Berry</i><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">.  Back then, the mulatto or light-complexioned black, especially the well educated, lived in a social and psychological limbo, excluded by racism from the white world, and forced by segregation to live among darker blacks whom they often despised and looked down on. Yet darker blacks themselves experienced conflicting emotions, at once attracted to and resentful of the light-skinned who scorned them.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Thurman’s Emma Lou is a sympathetic portrait of this complex from the perspective of a woman whose mother is a mulatto, but who inherited her father’s black skin: “Emma Lou had been born in a semi-white world, totally surrounded by an all-white one, and those few dark elements that had forced their way in had either been shooed away or else greeted with derisive laughter.” When she matriculates at an exclusive Negro college, she despises Hazel, another dark-skinned girl who attempts to befriend her, as “just a vulgar little n***** from down South.” Emma Lou “was determined to become associated only with those people who really mattered, northerners like herself or superior southerners, if there were any, who were different from whites only in so far as skin color was concerned.” What she discovers, however, is that most of the light-skinned students to whom she is attracted despise her as much as she despises Hazel.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">A creation of racism and segregation, the psychology explored in this persistent theme of classic black literature was supposedly transcended by the “black is beautiful” movement of the 1960s. In black identity politics the poles of value were reversed: the snobbish mulattoes or blacks who lived by so-called “white” values were attacked for “acting white,” and authentic black identity comprised everything that separated blacks from the white majority, whether complexion, accent, or especially political ideology, morality, and virtue. Blacks of any shade who adopted proper English, social decorum, or traditional virtues were scorned as “Uncle Toms” and “race traitors.” Though millions of American blacks rejected much of this ideology, it reshaped public discourse and popular culture, and created today’s racial orthodoxy.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Partly because of the understandable commitment to racial solidarity among the majority of blacks who just want to live their lives and get ahead like everybody else, publicly the melodrama of white racism has overshadowed all the other complexities of black American life. Yet those issues still exist, and no doubt are still alive among black people who are loath to break ranks in front of white people. The presidency of Barack Obama, however, has exposed how detrimental to our collective political life and race relations has been the refusal honestly to confront these issues, mostly by empowering a race industry that benefits the black elite and middle class, even as it worsens the plight of the black underclass.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Obama’s public career reflects some dimensions of the “yellow complex” that persist today. At the beginning of his political rise there was briefly some talk that he wasn’t “black” enough. After all, he was raised by whites in Hawaii, one of the whitest states, where he attended an exclusive prep school before moving on to exclusive, white-dominated universities. Joe Biden let the cat out of the bag when he said in 2007 that Obama was “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” A year later Harry Reid was amazed that Obama was “light-skinned&#8221; and had “no Negro dialect unless he wanted to have one.” In other words, not “black.” Jesse Jackson also revealed this tension in the black community when he responded to candidate Obama’s “moral lectures” to blacks by saying, “I wanna cut his nuts out” for “talking down to black people.” Perhaps Jackson heard the snobbery of Emma Lou in Obama’s scolding. But the media and race-industry quickly snuffed out these modern evocations of the “yellow complex,” with Biden, Reid, and Jackson all issuing groveling apologies. Ever since then, Obama’s public persona is of an authentic “black man,” that is, a victim of white racism (“If I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”) fighting to improve the lives of his struggling “brothers” and “sisters.”</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Yet is it just a coincidence that Obama has been surrounded by so many lighter-skinned blacks who, like himself, come from middle or upper class backgrounds? There’s Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s trusted counselor until he had to be thrown under the bus when his racist sermons were exposed. His father was a Baptist minister, his mother a high school teacher and a vice-principal. Obama’s senior advisor and closest confidante is Valerie Jarrett. Her father is a pathologist and geneticist, and she spent her early life in Iran and London. She is a Stanford graduate with a J.D. from Michigan law school. Eric Holder’s father and maternal grandmother were immigrants from Barbados. His father was a real-estate broker. He graduated from Columbia University with a B.A. and J.D. Susan Rice’s father was a Cornell University economics professor and the second black governor of the Federal Reserve, and her mother is a fellow at the Brookings Institute. Her grandparents emigrated from Jamaica. Rice is a Stanford and Oxford graduate. In other words, all of them are untypical of the lives of ordinary black Americans whose ancestors were slaves or lived under legal segregation.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">All of this should be irrelevant, and would be if Martin Luther King’s dream that blacks be judged by character rather than color had been realized. But the racial orthodoxy created by identity politics assumes a Jim Crow one-drop rule that bestows on every black in America – no matter how privileged, no matter if their parents and ancestors, like Obama’s, never suffered through American slavery and legal segregation – the mantle of victim of racism, which qualifies them to be spokesmen and less threatening proxies for millions of other black Americans who lack their advantages. By this ahistorical and incoherent racialist calculus, the child of a Kentucky coal miner or a Dust Bowl migrant has more social capital by virtue of a genetically endowed “white skin privilege” than a half-white Harvard-trained lawyer. The immense advantages bestowed by parents with college degrees and non-ghetto zip codes are invisible. Many middle and upper class blacks enjoy what David Horowitz and John Perazzo </span><a style="line-height: 1.5em;" href="https://secure.donationreport.com/productlist.html?key=KD25VC00LEHE">call</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> “black skin privilege,” even as in the sixth year of Obama’s presidency millions of their underclass fellows remain mired in unemployment, dependence, crime, addiction, and broken homes.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">The “yellow complex” is just one of the necessary topics of the adult conversation about race in America we should be having. Of course, after the Civil Rights movement, affirmative action programs, and the expansion of the black middle class, complexion has not been as important as socio-economic class, education, and especially politics. But it still is a factor, and one necessary to address if we want a dialogue on race that, rather than trading in crude simplifications of “black” and “white” identity, instead acknowledges those nuances and complexities that liberals claim to love so much. But don’t hold your breath waiting for those “embarrassing” subjects, as Holder called them, to go public. Too many people get too many economic and political benefits from keeping things just as they are, no matter how many generations of black Americans have to be sacrificed.</span></p>

<p>Attorney General Eric Holder said Wednesday he made the decision to charge the Christmas Day terror suspect in civilian court rather than the military system, with no objection from all the other relevant departments of the government.In a letter to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell PDF, the attorney general wrote that the FBI told its partners in the intelligence community on Christmas Day and again the next day that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would be charged criminally.Special Report: The Christmas Day Terror AttackHolder said that the possibility of detaining Abdulmutallab in the U.S. military system under the law of war was explicitly discussed in the days following the arrest, including at a Jan. 5 meeting that included President Barack Obama and senior members of the national security team.&#8221;No agency supported the use of law of war detention for Abdulmutallab, and no agency has since advised the Department of Justice that an alternative course of action should have been, or should now be, pursued,&#8221; the attorney general wrote.</p>
