By Doug Book, staff writer
Two years ago, Obama Administration A.G. Eric Holder called the United States a “nation of cowards” in matters of race. The U.S. “…has not come to grips with its racial past, nor has it been willing to contemplate, in a truly meaningful way, the diverse future it is fated to have”, he told his staff on the occasion of Black History Month.
Is Holder on to something?
A month ago, 15 to 20 “teenage males” dragged a man into a Chicago street and beat him. Another victim was robbed of a cell phone and camera while being kicked and beaten.
At the same time, a Chicago woman complained that a dozen “young men” had taken over the street in front of her apartment building, stopping cars and dragging people out of taxis.
On Memorial Day, a policeman reported some 500 “youths” got off of West Side Chicago trains and made their way to the lakefront. Beach goers that day said they were harassed by “mobs of youths…” Even now, Chicagoans are warned to not ride bicycles or swim at the North Avenue beach.
On June 23rd “…about 40 young people…” entered a Philadelphia Sears store at 7:00 pm. pulled merchandise off of shelves and ran through the door, back towards the EL Train which had brought them.
A “group of women” met at an expensive clothing store and, upon being signaled by telephone, immediately grabbed what they could from counters and displays and bolted for the doors.
“Traveling mobs of teenagers”, “seven young men”, a “group of 70 youths”, “about 2 dozen men”, “flash mob offenders”…so read headlines and text in mainstream media reports of thugs who engage in pre-arranged, criminal mob activity in Chicago and elsewhere. Stores are robbed, motorists attacked, restaurants ransacked and hopelessly outnumbered innocents routinely beaten.
Then on June 24th, this story appeared on the Peoria Chronicle website: “Tonight around 11 pm, a group of at least 60-70 AFRICAN AMERICAN (my caps) youths marched down one of the side streets…” “They were yelling threats to white residents. Things such as we need to kill all the white people around here.” Cars were surrounded residents were made to run into their homes and physically intimidated for “Calling for help from the police.” This was the 5th such incident in Peoria in as many weeks.
Yet one day later, the DrudgeReport.com had taken down its link to the story. And Paul Wilkinson, the eyewitness who wrote and emailed the story to the Chronicle was attacked by Peoria City Councilwoman Barbara Van Auken, who claimed Wilkinson had a history of “wildly exaggerating” reports many of them involving race.
All of the participants in the above “flash mob” incidents were black. Yet the Peoria Chronicle site was the ONLY media source actually willing to report that fact. And for its display of courage, the author of the story was smeared and the site treated as a leper by the rest of the media, but not here at coachisright.com. We applaud the Chronicle’s courage!
As for Mr. Holder’s claims, it appears he has confused cowardice with the nationwide embrace of political correctness. But as one cannot exist without the other, and as both are such common traits of the left, perhaps he can be excused for the mix up.

And there's the blockage of the "New Black Panther, " case by the DOJ, that committed voter fraud.
The "nation of cowards" are certainly the law enforcement agencies in Chicago, but what else is new?
And now the Sente hearisn for Fast and Furious.
" Run like the wind," Eric Holder.The people are coming.
He can run, but he can't hide ,
forever.
There is something terribly wrong with our justice system today. I am proud of Congressman Issa who is working on routing out the deception and corruption in Washington. I guess he must be working in tandum with Miss Pelosi as she claimed she would drain the swamp.
I also think he's a good man. I hear his entired interview on Fox last night with Sean Hannity. What really surprise me, no insult intended, was to find out he's from CA
.MS Pelois is the swamp along with hotel , Harry Reid , NV.
Mobs of black thugs who steal anything they can see and get to and we have a media that won't tell you the entire story. Mark my words, eventually whites are going to tire of this and start shooting these thugs. And yes, that's about all that's going to stop them. They believe they are "entitled" to it. They got their welfare, food stamps, free healthcare, free everything at OUR expense. I'm angry about this wanton lawlessness. When are we going to stop it? Do we have the courage?
This is not a "black" problem. It is problem of human evil – an equal opportunity problem. Blacks are disproportionately represented not because of their blackness, but because of the culture in which many of them live – a culture created by largely liberal, democrat policies. The Democrats / leftists / progressives failed to secure the continued slavery of blacks by force, and have now found an even more effective method of control: propagandist education from the earliest grades and the promise of a life of soft slavery – dependence upon government.
That is exactly what is going to happen. In Texas you can "pack heat" and that is what many whites have resorted to.

Has anybody read the manifesto of the New Black Panthers?
Barack Hussein Obama, Eric Holder, Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, these black felons listed above , along with all the other black liberal enablers, cry babies, entitlement-addicts, and extortionists are giving decent, educated , caring, upstanding, law abiding, black citizens who simply want to live their lives in peace and quiet ( just like you and me ), a bad name by "race-association". These are the very folks who do not deserve more trouble in their lives simply because they share the same skin color !!
Is there such a thing as "guilt by race-association" ? I believe there is !
It isn't necessarily a logical extrapolation of "whiteness" or "blackness" or from being of Asian or Spanish heritage. It is a human, "feeling- thing" which we are supposed to share.
It stems from the personal pride found in accomplishment. It represents a commitment to excellence, achievement, community, our churches, family, equality, and to the understanding that law and order is the cement which keeps communities, and all that we love and hold dear, safe from predators, mayhem, and gross acts of civil disobedience.
It is the " Cause and Effect" knowledge that when responsibility for trespassing (literally and figuratively), against the rights, property, and the very lives of others. is NOT dealt with swiftly and surely ;our society (white or black ) is diminished . The "law and order" cement which binds us as a polite society develops cracks. Then all of us, as citizens,are placed in peril from the rats , vermin and pests crawling through those cracks.
It is that which causes all races, including whites, to feel culpability, shame, sorrow, grief, despair for our futures and our children, when the rule of law is ignored.
How are WE all "culpable" ?
Because we lack the courage to truly discipline our children. We are afraid of being labeled a "child abuser" when we honestly know, intuitively, that they need a "hiding". We ignore the wisdom of the ages that have demonstrated that the only way children will learn their places in society is to accept the loving discipline of their parents and the adults around them! Yet we are continually coached by our laws to believe that our parental discipline borders on assault of our children. I have begun to understand where the government benefits from children who have run amok and afoul of our laws.
But as culpable as we are through our own shortcomings there are others who set the tone of lawlessness in our country.
I accuse the lack of swift justice, by men in Eric Holder's position, for refusing to prosecute crimes that were actually documented on film. I accuse the not-so-reverend Jackson and Sharpton of enabling black youths to believe they are above the law, I accuse the Louis Farrakhans and Jeremiah Wrights of this country for inculcating into impressionable and disaffected blacks a doctrine foreign to our soils. A doctrine more befitting the back-ward, war-like nations of Islam than is suitable for American communities. I accuse Barak Hussein Obama for allowing and encouraging this sort of madness and criminality to flourish under his watch.
If you think decent black, white, Asian or Hispanic folks don't shudder and gasp equally when one amongst them commits acts of violence ; then you just don't understand people.
Well written Joanne. Kudos!
How sweet of you to say so TruthSeeker !
A few minutes ago, and without breaking a sweat, I was able to think of 14 names of Black Americans endowed with tremendous gifts, clarity of purpose, courage and ingenuity. Here are the names which came to mind immediately.
J.C. Watts; Jackie Robinson; Herman Cain; Allen West; Justice Clarence Thomas; George Washington Carver; Alan Keyes; Condy Rice; Willy Mays; Harriet Tubman; Walter E. Williams; Thomas Sowell; Samuel B. Fuller (President of Fuller Brush Company); Michael Steele (former Governor of Maryland.
I'm sure you could think of as many or more TruthSeeker !
I can only imagine that "Black Studies" on American college campuses or in High Schools, (if the miscreants in the above mentioned article even WENT to school beyond the 9th or 10th grade), did not arouse the curiosity, imagination or admiration of these kids regarding the accomplished Black Men and Women of American history. I suspect they may have spent too much time on Black African History which stresses our cultural differences rather than our similarities.
Of all the Black talents to choose from as role models; these thugs choose to emulate the attitude and violence found in such orgs. as the Black Panthers? What's with that?
What happened to common sense and sanity??? Call things what they are and stop changing words and terms. Why is everyone so intimidated anymore?? It's like Nazi Germany or the USSR!!!!!!!! Come on people…wake up and stand up for what is right. We can call things what they are without being racist or prejudiced. Read some old newspapers…things just are what they are. And…if Blacks (or anyone else for that matter) don't like reading about what they may have done, then stop doing it and there won't be a story or a reason to print who did it!!! It's that simple.
In Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel can't risk angering the blacks by arresting the "mob" thugs – he will lose to many of the dark vote. cowards follow cowards.
I beg any "group" of Black thugs to come do this crap in my Community.
60-70 walk in, 50-60 get carried out.
In case anyone hasn't noticed, these "thugs" (Black Cowards) only do this crap in the places where people aren't allowed to defend them selves.
Here, we have STRONG Castle Laws, and we carry, openly or concealed.
You come here and threaten my neighbors and family, you may not go home.
Guaranteed.
Amen to THAT Brother !
I kept a bumper sticker in the rear window of my car for many years. It read:
NEVER TRUST A GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN'T TRUST YOU TO OWN A GUN.
I hate to break the news…but the 6 or 7 incidents mentioned in this article need to be multiplied by about 30 or 40. The flash mob incidents are happening in most major cities ( with significant black populations ) over and over….and they are getting more brazen and more brazen. This is happening in NYC…Philadelphia….Washington DC….New Jersey….Florida….Michigan…and most likely more. Unfortunately it is not only political correctness that prevents calling a spade a spade. The local media complicit with the national media…continue to bury these incidents. But if you search for this type of incident….believe me…you'll find plenty.
Very informative TruthSeeker!
Thanks for the "heads-up" regarding the pervasiveness of this rage phenomena!
I will take the time now to do a little research on the subject.
Before the article written above, the only "Flash-mobs" I'd ever heard of , or seen, were the Artsy types like The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's Messiah performed in a shopping mall food court !
I am so naive and uninformed!
Add Milwaukee, Wi. to that list.
