So you think that a black person has to be Jackie Robinson to get over racism?

Holder's job, for which he volunteered, is to protect VICTIMS (regardless of race or nationality), not be one. He's not doing either one even marginally.
Jackie Robinson, IMO, was successful, not because of his skin color or ancestry, but because he was a good baseball player. Had he been a poor baseball player, we probably wouldn't even know his name. And I doubt he stood up at the plate and whined that the pitcher was throwing too fast, because he was Black!
Excelling in one's job and setting a good example for everyone to see by improving performance is the best publicity one can disseminate to demonstrate the equality necessary to assure that everyone in the future has an opportunity to perform in that same job. Expecting someone to perform well in their job has nothing to do with racism. Holder's lack of performance, as well as his boss's deficiencies, don't either. It's about them as individuals.
