As a freshman at
Columbia University in 1970, future Attorney General Eric Holder
participated in a five-day occupation of an abandoned Naval Reserve Officer
Training Corps (ROTC) headquarters with a group of black students later
described by the university’s Black Students’ Organization as
“armed,” The Daily Caller has learned.
Department of Justice
spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler has not responded to questions from The Daily Caller
about whether Holder himself was armed — and if so, with what sort of
weapon.
Holder was then among
the leaders of the Student Afro-American Society (SAAS), which demanded
that the former ROTC office be renamed the “Malcolm X Lounge.” The
change, the group insisted, was to be made “in honor of a man who
recognized the importance of territory as a basis for nationhood.”
Black radicals from the
same group also occupied the office of Dean of Freshman Henry Coleman until
their demands were met. Holder has publicly acknowledged being a part of that
action.
The details of the
student-led occupation, including the claim that the raiders were
“armed,” come from a deleted Web page of the Black Students’
Organization (BSO) at Columbia,
a successor group to the SAAS. Contemporary newspaper accounts in The
Columbia Daily Spectator, a student newspaper, did not mention
weapons.
Holder, now the United
States’ highest-ranking law enforcement official, has given conflicting
accounts of this episode during college commencement addresses at Columbia, but
both the BSO’s website and the Daily Spectator have published facts that
conflict with his version of events.
Holder has bragged about
his involvement in the “rise of black consciousness” protests at Columbia.
“I was among a large group of students who felt strongly
about the way we thought the world should be, and we weren’t afraid to
make our opinions heard,” he said during
Columbia’s
2009 commencement exercises. “I did not take a final exam until my
junior year at Columbia
— we were on strike every time finals seemed to roll around — but
we ran out of issues by that third year.” [Query
- then how in the hell did you graduate, Eric? Anyone else at any
university other than the far-left Columbia University would have
flunked out long before they reached their third year if they simply
skipped their final exams!]
Though then-Dean Carl
Hovde declared the occupation of the Naval ROTC office illegal and said it
violated university policy, the college declined to prosecute any of the
students involved. This decision may have been made to avoid a repeat of
violent Columbia
campus confrontations between police and members of Students for a Democratic
Society (SDS) in 1968.
The ROTC headquarters was ultimately renamed the Malcolm X lounge
as the SAAS organization demanded. It later became a hang-out spot for another
future U.S. leader, Barack Obama, according to David Maraniss’
best-selling ”Barack Obama: The Story.”
Holder told Columbia
University’s
graduating law students during a 2010 commencement speech that the 1970 incident happened
“during my senior year,” but Holder was a freshman at the time.
“[S]everal of us took one of our concerns — that black students
needed a designated space to gather on campus — to the Dean [of
Freshmen]’office. This being Columbia,
we proceeded to occupy that office.”
Holder also claimed in his 2009 speech that he and his fellow
students decided to “peacefully occupy one of the campus offices.”
In contrast, the BSO's website recounted its predecessor organization’s
activities by noting that that “in 1970, a group of armed black students
[the SAAS] seized the abandoned ROTC office.”
While that website is no
longer online, a snapshot of its content from September 2010 is part of the
archive.org database.

raid on the Naval ROTC office and Dean Coleman’s office came one month
after the Black Panther arrests. The Columbia Daily Spectator released a
series of demands from the student leaders on April 23 in which they claimed to
be occupying the ROTC office for the purpose of “self-determination and dignity.”
They needed the space, they said, because of “the general racist nature
of American society.”
SAAS leaders also decried “this racist university campus” —
in particular its alleged “involvement in the continued political harassment
of the Black Panther Party” — along with what they called a
“lack of concern for Black people whether they be students or
workers” and a “general contempt towards the beliefs of Black
students in particular and Black people in general.”
recognize the necessity of not letting the university set a dangerous precedent
in its dealings with Black people,” the statement read in part,
“that is letting white people direct the action and forces that affect
Black people toward goals they (white people) feel are correct.”
SAAS during this period was Black history teacher Hollis Lynch, who is one
of four professors Holder later said “shaped my worldview.”
in September 1973, Holder joined the Black American Law Students Association.
Less than a month later, that organization joined other minority activist
groups in a coalition that demanded the retraction of a letter to President
Gerald Ford, signed by six Columbia
professors, that argued against affirmative action and racial quotas.
rewarded, without regard to race, sex, creed, or any other external
factor,” the professors wrote to President Ford. Following a campaign
marked by what two of those professors called “rhetoric and names
hurled” at them, they changed their position and denied they
actually opposed affirmative action. [So even then, Eric Holder wouldn't tolerate free speech and the transmission of ideas with which he didn't agree!]
Spectator’s editorial page later argued against affirmative action
as a factor in university admissions, touching off another controversy with the
coalition that included the Black American Law Students Association.
“Affirmative action is just a nice name for a quota, and quotas are just
a nice name for racism,” the editorial board wrote.
minority students’ coalition responded that “traditional
academic criteria have a built-in bias” that leaves many minority
students “automatically excluded.”

opposition to it, which fails to provide alternative means for eradicating
bias, that supports the racist and sexist status quo.”

“The question is not when does it end, but when does it begin.
… When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are
entitled?” [Entitled???? Not deserving on the basis of merit???]
Holder has also come
under fire for presiding over a Justice Department that declined to prosecute
members of the New Black Panther Party who allegedly intimidated white voters
outside a Philadelphia
polling precinct in 2008.
Comment:
Just a reminder, we can get rid of this radical SOB heading the
inJustice Department by voting another radical SOB out of office on
November 6, 2012!.
