Dred Scott Redux
In case you didn’t believe me in my post Stay on the Plantation that liberals think all “good” blacks belong to the group labeled “blacks” and if you don’t conform, watch out. California Senator Barbara Boxer, blithely walked into a buzz saw named Harry Alford, when he called her on gratuitously trying to put him in a box with the NAACP. Watch here: Senator Boxer Accused of Race Politics
The Audacity
You see, Harry Alford, CEO of the Black Chamber of Commerce, which represents business interests, has an issue with some legislation before Senator Boxer’s committee. He had the temerity to oppose what she wanted to do. So she said she was going to enter into the record a study by the Pew Research group (okay), a resolution by the NAACP (uh-oh), and a statement by John Grant, the CEO of “100 Black Men of Atlanta,” (huh?). And Harry pounced. What do these other black groups have to do with what he’s saying? He was quite incensed that as a black man, the Senator obtained documents from other black organizations who agreed with her, despite the relevance to energy policy. It was clear, the point was to isolate Harry Alford. Clearly show that he was off the plantation and that he better get back on the plantation, or trouble was coming.
Dred Scott Redux
Blacks are supposed to belong to the Democratic Party. If a black person should be as audacious as to speak their mind and not in concert with Democratic Party orthodoxy, then send out the troops to bring them back. It doesn’t matter if what they bring to bear on the recalcitrant person is relevant; just pile it on until they are shamed into returning to the fold or fading away into obscurity.
Liberty is under attack in the vilest way.
