I would like to share a well-written opinion editorial that was sent to me. I applaude his honesty. He hit the nail on the head.

Harry, Retired Professor wrote the following:
The left hates an independent black person - a man like Clarence Thomas - probably as much or more than they hate the most inveterate white racist. A special place of contempt is reserved for a black person with the temerity to break the chains and leave the Democratic plantation to march off on his own, expressing views at variance with officially sanctioned African-American positions.
If you are a black person, there is ONLY ONE acceptable political view, and if you don't happen to share it, you are seen as a treacherous ingrate, one to be scorned with disgust and disdain for your shocking lack of appreciation for the generous largess bestowed to you by altruistic liberals, programs that you MUST acknowledge - through the forfeiture of your right to think for yourself - as having made your success possible.
This racial arrogance was in full display recently when California senator Barbara Boxer embarrassed herself by expressing absolute incredulity about how the climate-bill views of black Chamber of Commerce leader Harry Alford could possibly be in conflict with the official views of the NAACP.
Why were views of the NAACP relevant on a climate bill, of all things? Because Alford was a black man, and everyone knows that the views of all black men surely fall completely in line with the views of the NAACP - on everything, not just race. Everybody should understand that these are the rules, least of all a black man.
Dripping with condescension, the patronizing Boxer could not contain her disbelief that Alford could actually have views that conflicted with the designated black position as determined by the black establishment and by Democratic handlers. And for Alford, a black man, to challenge this beneficent liberal as he did, expressing his resentment and outrage - well, a slave refusing to clean the cotton gin could not have brought on more consternation.
Like Harry Alford, Clarence Thomas insisted on being treated as a liberated black man, a man free to break loose from the constraints imposed on him by patronizing liberalism. And the liberal establishment has never forgotten, nor forgiven.
