Emory Law Professor, Dorothy A. Brown, provides an opinion piece on CNN’s “The Week” segment. During the segment, Attorney General Eric Holder speaks about how he feels that race has played a role in how he and President Barack Obama are viewed by the Republican Party and the U.S. based on their race. Three black male panelists discuss their views of the remarks and express differing opinions on race in the United States and the role it plays in Holder’s remarks.
