Why should this business man care what the NAACP or other "black organizations" thought about the subject? Are the NAACP supposed to be some sort of spokesperson for all blacks or something?

That's the whole point.

Harry Alford and The National Black Chamber of Commerce don't represent all black business owners. But their organization exists and operates under the flag of racial exclusivity and distinction.

Boxer fed him back some of his (and his organization's) own medicine. Hence the well-rehearsed, phony, hypocritical reaction of outrage.


Harry Alford and The National Black Chamber of Commerce only concern themselves with a discriminatory, preferential agenda and achieving discriminatory, preferential results.

You see, Boxer (who I don't particularly like) was submitting examples of diverse testimonies (including testimonies from black people), which supported her position; to the President of The Black Chamber Of Commerce.

The Black Chamber Of Commerce, by it's own existence; defines itself by racial distinction.

Therefore, Boxer was making the racial distinction for the sake of clarification, because the Black Chamber Of Commerce is in fact an organiztion based on the exclusivity and racial distinction to and of the Black community.


So a guy who is President and CEO of the Black Chamber Of Commerce, which in itself defines itself to racial exclusivity; All Of The Sudden does NOT want racial distinctions.

Very interesting.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not big on Boxer

But that hypocritical reaction from him... was absurd.

A simple example of an organization who wants preferential treatment and special considerations for their racially distinctive agenda.

But when that racial distinction is presented in a manner that promotes equality and no preferential treament; suddenly equality is no longer acceptable and he screams and accuses racism.

Pure Nonsense from Harry Alford. Shameful and embarrassing

Reps from me for this post.
