You mean the guy that watched as black people wealth go obliterated (damn near half) didn't have the balls to arrest anyone for one of the most devastating things to happen to black wealth in ages. The guy that made this statement

"the size of some of these [financial] institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy.”

He was on Bill Maher a few years ago and had some great points. That interview really stuck out to me and it’s been at least 4/5 years since he was on.

Thank you - people supporting dude like he actually got convictions against cops when he was AG of the DOJ. I ain’t voting for him either.

Its not his job to convict people. The judge must do that. The standard for federal murder is ALOT higher than state murder. They couldn't get convictions in the state so they knew that trying these dudes in the fed cases where going to be a loss. He did make efforts to change the higher standards in fed cases after Treyvon Martin though. Y'all act like these dudes can just wave there hands and throw someone in jail. That's not how this shyt works. Y'all be mad at these cats for not doing some shyt that's impossible. You can read the article in OP to get a sense about what the man did accomplish in the realm of civil rights, which was a lot. His legacy is solidified.

Eric Holder: 'We need to change the law' after Trayvon Martin case
Outgoing US attorney general to share ‘specific proposals’ on lowering standards of proof for federal charges in civil rights cases
Amanda HolpuchLast modified on Fri 14 Jul 2017 17.24 EDT
Days after the Justice Department announced it would not bring civil rights charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, attorney general Eric Holder said he planned to propose adjustments to federal civil rights laws before he steps down.

Holder said in interviews that in his final weeks in office, he plans to share “specific proposals” about lowering standards of proof for civil rights crimes.

“We do need to change the law. I do think the standard is too high,” Holder said in an interview with NBC News. “There needs to be a change with regard to the standard of proof.”

In September 2014, Holder announced he was stepping down as head of the Justice Department, a post he has held since Barack Obama took office. The Senate is expected to confirm Loretta Lynch to take over in March.

The Justice Department on Tuesday said it had closed its investigation into one of the touchstone civil rights cases of Holder’s tenure – the shooting death of black teenager Trayvon Martin. The department said it had found “insufficient evidence” to charge the gunman, neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman.

Zimmerman faced a trial, but was acquitted.

To press charges in a federal civil rights case, the Justice Department must prove that a person intentionally shot someone because of their race.

Victor Goode, an associate professor of law at CUNY School of Law, said this standard was much easier to prove during the civil rights struggle of the 1960s and 1970s, when crimes could be tied to groups such as the Ku Klux Klan or others that had declared support for violent acts against minorities. In high-profile fatal shootings by police officers in recent years, the standard is much more difficult to prove.

“Unless the police issued a racial epithet moments before they shot someone, it’s almost impossible to determine what their motivation was,” said Goode. “Especially when after the shooting they openly state to their superiors: ‘I was in fear of my life and I openly discharged in accordance with my police training.’”

Legal experts doubted that Zimmerman would be charged before the Justice Department announced its decision this week.

People are also skeptical about the results of a pending civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of another black teenager, Michael Brown, in Ferguson, Missouri last August. Earlier this month, Holder said the results of that case will be announced before he steps down.

The Justice Department is also pursuing a civil rights investigation into the death of Eric Garner, a Staten Island man who died last July after being put in a chokehold by a New York police officer.

In the Brown and Garner cases, grand juries voted not to indict the police officers involved, preventing the cases from being brought to trial.

None what difference does that make. Anyone from that era that didn't do their job shouldn't get anyone vote as well.

No it isn't Iceland, nor do I give two flying f about Iceland as well. I got family and friend back home and business back home. Not sure if you seen the projections for black wealth in the future they aren't good and that period of time had a direct effect on it. Nothing even comes close to having had an effect on black wealth like that.

You're a business cat! Let me ask you a question are you going to continue to do business with someone that didn't do their job even if he is a breh! Say an accountant screws up and make you lose half of your business do you rehire the accountant and then make him the COO of your business.

The reason is this is essentially what we are talking about with Holder. Now if you say yes to that your a better man than me.:yeshrug:
