   SALON WRITER ASKS IF ERIC HOLDER IS OBAMA?S ?INNER N****R?   
      
   A writer for the liberal news site Salon opined that Attorney General   
   Eric Holder is President Barack Obama?s ?inner n-gger.?   
      
   Rich Benjamin was reacting Friday to Obama?s surprise remarks about   
   Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman?s acquittal. Dubbing the speech   
   ?safe, overrated and airy,? Benjamin contrasted Obama?s ?danc[ing]   
   around the issues? of race while Holder, speaking to the NAACP this   
   week, gave ?trenchant thoughts on the acquittal, demanding action.?   
      
      
   A writer for liberal site Salon called Attorney General Eric Holder   
   President Barack Obama?s ?inner n-gger.? (AP)   
   Obama ?refuse[d] to say anything insightful or profound about the   
   acquittal,? wrote Benajmin, a senior fellow with the liberal group Demos   
   and an MSNBC contributor. ?In signature professorial style, the   
   president gave us the ?context? to the episode and to black people?s   
   ?pain.? But he didn?t offer a meaningful opinion on the episode?s hot   
   molten core: racial profiling, vigilantism, and ?Stand Your Ground?   
   laws.?

   He wrote:   
      
   Some of us have an Inner Child. Others have an Inner N-gger. Is Holder   
   the president?s conscience? Or his Inner N-gger?   
      
   Is Holder the president?s aggressive internal mind and voice ? willing   
   to speak truth to power, but unbothered with appearing like an angry   
   black man?   
      
   ?Obama?s Dark Doppelganger,? Benjamin continued, also spoke bluntly in a   
   2009 speech when he called America ?a nation of cowards? for avoiding   
   the race issue ? ?retreating to our race protected cocoons, where much   
   is comfortable and where progress is not really made.?   
      
   ?The Secret Service calls the president ?Renegade,? his agency   
   nickname,? Benjamin observed. ?It seems, these days, that Holder is the   
   real renegade. The country?s Rogue Negro. And the president?s repressed   
   Black Id.?   
      
   Furious reaction to Benjamin?s piece was swift, including from fellow   
   MSNBC contributors Goldie Taylor and Joy Reid. Taylor tweeted at Salon:   
   ?TAKE IT DOWN.?
