We should mark July 16, 2009, as a day when white progressives — from an elitist lady senator to our mixed-race president — revealed their true racist colors.
On that day, Senator (not “Ma’am”) Barbara Boxer chided Harry Alford of the National Black Chamber of Commerce during his testimony before the Senate Public Works Committee, and President (not descendant of slaves) Barack Obama, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the NAACP, lectured parents about making sure their children do their homework and bragged about his “administration.”
While school children are taught that the Progressive Era from the 1890s to the 1920s was one of reforms, historians have noted its eugenicist, racist, xenophobic, fascist, and elitist traits. Today’s progressives, like Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, continue the tradition.
Like Jane Addams’ ladies of the settlement house movement who swooshed into the homes of immigrants, feeling it incumbent on themselves to show the unwashed masses how to live, Madame Senator Boxer felt that she could instruct Mr. Alford on “diversity,” a term used interchangeably with “black,” “African-American,” or “minority” by progressives.

QED.
The arrogant race-baiters continue unabated. The radical Dems will never let racism go away. They will do ANYTHING to keep the black vote coming from a position of “victimization”.
I was raised to say Ma’am and Sir but I think I would have a difficult time saying that to Boxer......Kind of like how I would have to be sick if I had to Call Barry Mr. President......I feel sorry for the Secret Service and Marines at the White House.........
Mr. Alford and Pastor Madding ought to get together for a two-fer podcast and let everyone know that we’re not going to take this Democratic racism any more.
$.02.
Liberals hate it when they git uppity!
Mr. Alford and Pastor Madding
Both are great Americans!
total blacks in those 3 columns: ~14m
total hispanics in those 3 columns: ~16m
total white in those 3 columns: ~80m
on top of that... blacks make up about 12% of the US population, or about 37m people.
the number of poor whites more then double the TOTAL number of blacks.
