Sir;....Eric Holder is correct, and our free association are the business of government if not Big Brother.... It takes a certain amount of courage to tell black people you don't like them... I don't have that kind of courage....Many of them black folks are big, strong and mean.... Generations of them were bred to drag plows, and I might punch a horse in the head if he did something stupid, but I won't punch a Black person because they might punch back...Who ever thought they might have made good farm animals should have had their heads examined... Clearly they are human beings, and they have the sense to realize we do not like them or wish to give them equal opportunity... Their cultural behavior, and even much of their personal behavior is deserving reproach if taken out of context, which no one can ever really do with true social behavior...You can't change your neighborhood, or your relatives, or past conditions or prejudices...If I dislike black culture I have the sense to realize that it may have grown up against my culture, to be disliked because trying to be liked did not work for them...You are correct that the illegal and legal alian problem has a lot to do with our problem with black people.... Because black people were once slaves they cannot often accept slave wages as an attempt to work through to something better...But why should they??? They have had their period of slavery...Much of the country was opened with a sacrifice of their entire lives...Why should they have to beat a mexican off of their jobs because they will not do them for nothing....There is no reason on this earth that high profits or low prices on any good should be made on low wages for black people.... We let people get away with hiring illegals which is the only reason the illegals are here because we buy into the profit argument... It is false... Those people are a drain on society even while they put money in the rich man's pocket...If the rich lower the price of labor, and they do this with great effort by keeping the minimum wage impossibly low, as well as hiring illegals, then they hurt the blacks as well as the illegals, and so they hurt us and hurt all of humanity... Do we think the Mexicans do not hold the blacks in contempt??? Do we think the blacks don't hate the Mexicans??? We think we can support this enmity, and support all the people; but we cannot.... And if we do not have the personal courage to uphold the rights of the blacks simply because we do not like them, then we will not like them any more, while growing to fear them more and more... To be a nation in an true sense of the word we have to be a family... That is the true meaning of the word Nation, from natal, the common mother... We have no great mother, and no Alma Mater... The only thing that will make us a common family, and a nation is a shared moral truth: That liberty and justice for all is as essential to one as for another... No one can live without these moral goods, and from the constitution of this country we have traded on justice, and liberty and equality until there is precious little of these qualities left... But we may yet find we can live easier without unjust profits than we can without liberty and justice.... We do not need rich people as much as we need a free nation.... This will take courage, and who would dare ask that of you... But even the Irish often found courage essential and we have proved ours often...Perhaps we can once more prove our courage in our national affairs, and give to our neighbors the freedom we find essential to ourselves... Thanks...Sweeney
