Fred Barnes from "The Beltway Boys", Fox news just called Eric Holder "HOMEY"!
Edited on Sat Feb-21-09 06:46 PM by Maraya1969
Eric Holder is our new Attorney general. Fred Barnes is a political commentator for Fox news.

They were discussing Eric Holder's comments about how this country is still very racist and how they believed that Holder should not be so negative since he is the first black Attorney General and we have the fist black President. Then Holder said:

"Homey needs to go to the suburbs, the most racially integrated part of the country, even on the weekends."


I could not believe my ears so I replayed it over and over to make sure he said what I thought he said and YES HE SAID IT!

I hope someone else caught it and can put it up on Youtube.

8. Then you need to edit your post.
You wrote: "Then Holder said:

"Homey needs to go to the suburbs, the most racially integrated part of the country, even on the weekends.""

That's why I was confused. I assume you meant to write that Barnes said it, not Holder.

13. "Homeboy" or "Homey" or "Home" is someone from your hometown (urban slang).
Someone who's from where you're from.

It's incredibly disrespectful for a douche like Barnes to use such slang in reference to Holder, especially when Holder didn't make some slang remark to prompt such a reference.

14. Well, I think we are just beginning to hear the remarks...
I'm shocked that in this day and age, so many bigots are crawling out of their snake holes. Makes me sick to my stomach.
