I feel good about where this is going.  I think it's what we really need in this day and age: to stop tip-toeing around racial issues and just confront them once and for all.  If we get problems into the light, then maybe we can finally answer them.  Unfortunately, there exist quite a few obstacles in the way of frank racial discussions.  If there weren't, then this post could be much more pointed, focused, and, most importantly, bluntly honest.  If this statement is the impetus for change, then I applaud it.

Good work, Mr. Holder.
