Video of the Day:

Harry Alford, chair of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, was testifying on energy policy. Barbara Boxer started waving around paperwork from the NAACP and the “100 Black Men of Atlanta” for some reason. Was it racist? In a sense, yes. Liberals have such a problem with minorities having diversity of thought. Blacks, gays, women, hispanics.. they are all supposed to think alike. It’s why conservative minorities are so hated by liberals. Minorities can’t have different opinions. And isn’t that in and of itself racism?

And when a black man challenges the white liberal Barbara Boxer on energy policy, she responds by waving around his “marching orders”, so to speak, from the NAACP and another black organization, as if to say, the NAACP agrees with me, and so you should, too. Unfortunately for her, Harry Alford can think for himself apparently, and didn’t buy into her racial condescension. Everything he said was exactly right. If Harry Alford was a white man, would she have been waving around papers from the 100 Black Men of Atlanta? Probably not, and the very fact that she felt the need to do what she did stinks of soft racism. It’s just not often that liberals are used to being called out on their racism, and frankly, it’s refreshing.
