If the White House wants to *really* talk about ending racism, then perhaps 
the Prez should talk to Eric Holder who dropped the charges against the 
Black Panthers!

Private citizens sent video to the justice department requesting enforcement 
of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  The career lawyers within the Justice 
Department had gotten as far as getting a court default judgement against 
the 3 men.  The three lawyers were overruled by the Obama political 
appointees and ALL charges against two of the men were dropped and the third 
was "admonished" not to take a weapon to a polling place again.

Now, had this been in the South and those 3 men had been KKK, they would be 
in prison!  Racism is alive and well in the Obama Chicago East House!
