The other day I witnessed as Senator Barbara, (don't call me 'ma'am'), Boxer, (D-CA), was chairing congressional hearings on the pending climate legislation known as the Waxman/Markey Bill. She got into a heated debate with the CEO of the National Black Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Harry C. Alford.
Sen. Boxer kept wanting to add to the record the statements made by the National Organization for the Advancement of Colored People, (NAACP), and another organization known as the 100 Black Men in Atlanta. Mr. Alford took offence to Ms. Boxer's strategy, that even Mr. Alford deemed as "old Jim Crow tactics" of pitting one black group against another. He accused Ms. Boxer of getting racial.
And Mr. Alford is correct, Ms. Boxer is what I refer to as a "nice bigot" or a "more gentle and composed racist". She will use these tactics to cause infighting among minority groups, keeping them from truly uniting in order for her to have her leftist political agendas become the law of the land. It hides her true racist feelings. She and her liberal ilk will use these organizations to get themselves elected and to keep their power over their constituents.
Question: How far has the African-American community really advanced since the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.? How far have they advanced with the leadership that has taken his place? Advanced under Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Louis Farakahn?
Why has every other ethnicity in this country advanced their people much more? The Hispanics, the Asians, and the Eastern Europeans.
I say that one reason is that the liberals, these "nice quiet bigots" such as Barbara Boxer, Harry Reid, Henry Waxman, Nancy Pelosi, Jimmy Carter, and yes, Bill and Hillary Clinton have helped to transform organizations such as ACORN, the National Black Caucus, RAINBOW/PUSH, and the NAACP from organizations that once helped to advance the African-American community; to organizations that help to "keep them in their place."
I would love to see how diverse the neighborhoods are of those politicians I just mentioned.
And on a personal note. I wish we would stop using the term "minority". I believe that no human being is a minority. When we stop letting liberal politicians refer to our fellow American citizens with this term, then the mindset of it will start to disappear. You are only a minority if you allow yourself to be.
