Senator Boxer accused of racial discrimination.

[PotshotPolka]

Well I had heard about this in a few places, and it sounded like she had attacked him verbally so I took the liberty of digging up a video of the actual incident, and I was very surprised at what I saw.



I'm sorry, but I can't see the racism, Alford was there on behalf of himself and the Black Chamber of Commerce, and was apparently before the video began in opposition to some of the EPW's points. She then pulled out a document citing NAACP initiatives for environmental protection and "green jobs". Alford then accused her of attempting to initiate race politics by using studies by other black affiliated groups to undermine his position that the black community's best interests were being represented by himself.

Wtf? Either I'm missing alot of the story here or she's just getting worked over, personal opinions aside it seems like bullshit.

Elaborate anybody? I haven't really followed her at all, it was the first time I've read into this Senator.

I think hes overacting. All she did was quote another black guy. If hes so offended then why did he ask why she didn't quote some Asian or something. I guess he would have liked "contended" with a white group.

[Red Tampon]

It's offensive because she's basically saying "Look other black people like it, you should too".

Basically lumping all blacks together suggesting that they 1. All think the same and 2. They SHOULD all think the same.

I don't know dude, it seemed more like she was attempting to present a counterpoint to him, and he challenged her in a disheveled manner.

Alford should learn to pronounce 'condescend' before condescending on others about racism, pseudoracism, etc. Democrat whiny-ness of boxer aside.

Maybe he just likes to pronounce it that way. Like Axe for ask.
