Black Chamber of Commerce CEO Blasts Barbara Boxer for "Condescending" Racial Remarks-Video-MUST See
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | 7-16-09

Posted on 07/19/2009 3:57:35 PM PDT by STARWISE

Here is explosive video of the CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce in a fiery exchange with California Sen. Barbara Boxer. Black Chamber of Commerce, President and CEO Harry Alford accused Senator Boxer (D-CA) of playing race politics during an EPW Committee hearing on green jobs.

He accused her of using "condescending" racial remarks because she tried to counter his testimony by using quotes from several "black" organizations and individuals such as the NAACP.

Alford was upset because he wanted his testimony to stand on the merits of the evidence and not be countered by Boxer thinking his testimony could be dismissed by just quoting other "black" organizations with a different view.

Good for Alford! For once, someone actually called a Democrat on what they love to do. Boxer was using racial politics here as so many Democrats have done for years. This time - it backfired big time!

Interesting she didn't get all up in Alford's for calling her "ma'am".

Loved it, loved it, loved it.

I saw the video, loved what he did to her. I only wish he’d pissed her off so bad she lost her cool and started foaming at the mouth.

I may be mistaken here but I thought I heard that he is allegedly supposed to be on O’Reilly’s Monday night.

this was soooo much fun to watch! I think I watched it more than once and that’s usually pretty hard to do when it involves Boxer.

THAT should be good. I hope it’s true. I’m setting my DVR right now so I don’t miss it.

But will the average black voter come to realize from this display of democrat racism that only democrat approved black ownership and careers is acceptable to the federal oligarchs? No, the manistream media will not make it that simple for them.

Did you notice the staffer whispering talking points into Boxer’s ear?

I'm surprised she didn't add that both the Crips and the Bloods are in favor of cap and trade. She was bring up every other black group she could to shame Harry Alford back onto the Democratic plantation.

Madame Boxer having issues coping with what she thought was a good little follower of modern day liberalism?

I despised these arrogant airheads who demand obedience.

I can’t stand boxer, but way shouldn’t she use the race card when she is talking to some guy whose organization is totally race based?

And why isn’t the GOP out supporting this gentleman and his economic plea? The only way the GOP will ever get the black vote is to convince them that they are being played as pawns and fools by the Rats. They need jobs..the unemployment rate for black men is so high that they will soon have good reason to be in the streets. The govt needs to help create jobs for them by a real stymulus and throwing out the illegals.

All the comrades have to keep each other on track. Can’t have any of that independent thinking.
