Barbara Boxer: “Negro, toe the line”

During Bill O’Reilly ’s interview last night of Harry Alford, President of the National Black Chamber of Commerce (NBCC), Alford made some insightful comments regarding Senator Barbara Boxer that served to expose the Left’s condescending attitude toward minorities. While professing to advocate on behalf of racial equality and tolerance for all minorities, in practice the true leftist agenda is much less inclusive. (Snip) Alford strenuously objected, calling Boxer out for being condescending and racial. As Mr. Alford told O’Reilly:

“It was pure race — it was like down there in Mississippi back in the bad old days when one black preacher would rise up against the big boss, he’d go find another black preacher to fight against that black preacher. You know — it was ugly. And she opened up a pit, a mud pit that I wasn’t gonna jump into.”

In fairness, the organization he’s representing is, itself, limited by race to black members. So I sorrrrrrta see what Babs might have been thinking. (She thinks?) Still, her condescension and likely racial pigeonholing is obvious.

I wonder if “ma’am”’s office has issued any statement about this dustup. (You’ll recall that after she forced that general to call her “Senator” instead of “ma’am,” her office later issued a doubtful statement that she and the general had a nice chat afterwards and are lovey dovey.)

And the chances of voting her out of the Senate are 0!
