From [HERE] A couple of weeks ago AFRO Publisher John “Jake” Oliver made his monthly appearance on the, “AFRO First Edition,” radio show. When asked why he believed the GOP is executing a ham-handed witch hunt against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, his answer was succinct.

“He’s Black,” Oliver said.

After a last minute attempt by the White House to avert it failed, a vote of contempt by House Republicans against Holder allegedly connected to the Fast and Furious, Mexican gun-running fiasco seemed all but inevitable. The GOP wants us to believe Holder is being held in contempt for not complying with a subpoena served by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee “investigating” Fast and Furious. That’s the official Republican narrative. But, the GOP persecution of Holder – the first Black Attorney General of the United States – looks, feels, sounds and smells like something a whole lot different.
