Holder calls the U.S. "a nation of cowards"

In Holder's speech Wednesday marking the beginning of Black History month, he called the U.S. "a nation of cowards" when it comes to race relations. While some liberals praise Holder's bold statement as desired change for the DOJ, some conservatives argue that Holder's rhetoric was overly confrontational and had the potential to polarize Americans on teh issue of race even further.

What do you think? Personally, I believe Holder could have made his point without such inflammatory language. Either way, I have received too many phone calls to count this morning from people who would like to leave the AG a comment to show their concern.
