Jeff Foxworthy is famous for a line of jokes that says, if you (fill in the blank), you might be a redneck. How about this: If you make major decisions and your sole criteria for those decisions is race, you might be a racist.
In this case, I’m willing to go further. One of the top Assistant Attorney Generals at the Department of Justice is a racist and if she does not resign, Congress should eliminate her job.
Loretta King (no relation to Martin Luther King) has been the driving force behind decisions at the Justice Department that can only be called racist. These cases include the famous case in Philadelphia of the New Black Panther Party intimidating voters at a polling place in 2008. In that case, members of the New Black Panther Party stood at a polling place with clubs, making racist remarks trying to intimidate voters. The Department of Justice immediately filed suit against them and took a default judgment against them. A default judgment is where the other side does not show up to court to contest the suit. King was one of the political appointees who ordered the DOJ lawyers to go back into court and set aside the judgment and ordered the case dismissed.
In another recent case, the city of Dayton, Ohio was ordered to allow people who failed entrance exams to become police officers so that more minority officers could be hired. Her position was so extreme, even the local NAACP has denounced it. King was the lead DOJ lawyer on that case. In another case where she is the lead lawyer, she argued that New York City should lower test scores so that more black fire fighters could be hired.
According to Christian Adams, a former Department of Justice lawyer told the United States Commission on Civil Rights that King opposed race neutral application of the Voting Rights Act. Adams would ask applicants if they had any problem enforcing the act if the victims of Voting Rights Act were white. He was ordered by King to stop asking these questions.
According to one member of the Civil Rights Commission, there is a racial double standard on enforcement of the laws at the Department of Justice and Loretta King directed it.
Let’s be blunt. If this woman were white and she were doing this on behalf of white people, she would qualify for membership in the Klan. Racism is racism and it does not matter how the roles fall.
Loretta King is a racist. There are no two ways about it. She should not be in a position of authority at the Department of Justice; in fact she should not even be employed by the Department of Justice.
While Congress has a lot on its plate right now, with the budget and with Obama getting us into a third war, at least one of the Congressional committees needs to take a look at this.
The Daily Caller did a great expose on King. If someone who held her racist beliefs were a Republican, there would be immediate calls for her resignation. Her superiors would force her out if she did not resign. If she does not leave on her own, Congress should force her to leave.
