' Oh bury me, then rise ye up
And break your heavy chains
And water with the tyrants' blood
The freedom you have gained.
And in the great new family,
The family of the free,
With softly spoken, kindly word
Remember also me."
— Taras Shevchenko, Тарас ШЕВЧЕНКО - Ukrainian Poet

I don't know that he was asked an honest question as much as a loaded question, along the lines of "have you stopped beating your wife?" The question he was asked was not an accusation, but it would be difficult to give a simple answer to it without seeming dodgy. It's a poorly formed question (I would say with intent). But that's just politics and he should be able to roll with it and give the more complex response. His was funny though.
As far as Holder goes, I never accused him of being a racist, and I'm not for anyone here. I don't think there's anything to apologize for. I'm simply sharing my point of view on his comments.
Again, I agree that in light of the situation a more conscientious politician would've certainly been more deft in handling the question, but I'm not willing to declare the man a bigot or a racist, or even concede that the comment was bigoted.
I can understand some sensitivity due to the circumstances, but let's not get carried away.
I just have to post this link for some comic relief.
