>However, there can be no doubt about what Boxer did. It wasn't lynching, special drinking fountains, or separate schools but it definitely rose to a level of racism of sorts, whether or not she was conscious of that fact or not when she planned it, Alford certainly drove the point home for her. She should have apologized by now but she said she will be able to raise millions in campaign money over it.

Boxer did nothing wrong. Alford went up there, he said, to speak on behalf of black Americans. Boxer cited the NAACP to say that, no, actually he didn't.

How is that racist?

Alford gets tons of money from groups like ExxonMobil to say that he speaks for the black community. He's an astroturfer.
