I adore Condoleezza Rice and hope to see her on the Republican presidential ticket some day. I think that her appointment as Secretary of State is what Martin Luther King had in mind when he said “I have a dream”. I am old enough to remember growing up in the segregated South and seeing rest rooms and drinking fountains labeled “white” and “colored”. I think that Dr. King would be especially gratified that it is the Republican Party that has promoted Dr. Rice. He probably expected the Democrats to take the lead on this type of action, but Alexis Hermann in a second tier, nothing Secretary of Labor position was apparently as far as Bill Clinton was prepared to go. In fact, if Bill Clinton was the man many Black people claim him to be, why didn’t he name someone like Eleanor Holmes Norton as Attorney General? She could not possibly have been worse than Janet Reno. I also notice that Donna Brazile was not included in the large number of Clinton/Gore party pros that John Kerry brought into his campaign. I wonder why?
It seems to me that the Black Democratic Party leadership has given white liberals a license to go after Dr. Rice with racial imagery and slurs that are straight out of Amos and Andy. Why is she apparently such a threat to so many Black people? As a Jew, I remember how much Sandy Koufax meant to us. He was tall, very handsome, had a 100 mph fastball, and his last 2 won/loss records for the Dodgers were 25-4 and 27-6. He was a wondefull counterweight to the typical Jewish stereotype (Woody Allen, who I detest). I cannot understand why more Black people do not feel a sense of pride in a woman like Dr. Rice who is brilliant, looks like a fashion model, is extremely articulate, and has risen to a position of great power (with possibly the postions of Vice-President and president in her future).

I just found your site today and i love it. Your views are very much like mine. I’ve always had trouble putting my thoughts into word but your article reached into my head and pulled all those thoughts out. Keep up the good work.

>>Unlike most blacks I loathe the
>>term “African-American”

Not to long ago I saw a bumper sticker that said, “If you have to hyphenate it, your not one.” Which took me a second to realize what it meant, if you put something in front of “-American” it means you don’t feel you are a true American.

I also disagree with the terms Black race, White race or Hispanic race. We are all part of the human race.

When you look at a dog you can say it is a German-Shepard, a poodle, Labrador, but when it comes down to it, they are all just dogs. Don’t confuse the breed with the race.

La Shawn, to me you will be forever known as “rare bird”. Hope you won’t take that as an insult from this aging white conservative…also registered independent by the way.

Wish GWB had the good sense to go with Condi for VP. It would be good for him,, but it would also be a breakthrough for women and for blacks. Too many of both are turned off by the too often clumsy “conservatives. Then wouldn’t it be somethig to see Condi at the head of the ticket in for years against Hillary? Condi would pound her into the ground. LOL
