Rice Says Race is Still An Issue
December 29th, 2008
Barack Obama’s election was a key moment in history, but we’re kidding ourselves if we think America is now blind to race, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a CBS “Sunday Morning” interview. “I think all Americans were quite taken with the fact that we were able, after the long history we’ve been through, that initial birth defect of slavery, that we’ve elected an African American,” Rice said in that interview. “And that’s enormously heartening for people in the country, but also people worldwide who still have trouble with differences.” Rice, who rose segregated Alabama to become the nation’s first Black woman secretary of State, said that the United States still has come a long way. ” I do think we’ve gotten to the place that we don’t see a person and say, ‘That’s a Black person, therefore they must be …’ And that’s an enormous step forward.” She said that Americans aren’t “united by nationality. …We’re not united by religion. You can be African-American or Mexican-American or Korean-American, and still be American. You can be Jewish or Presbyterian or Muslim or nothing at all, and still be American. But there are very few Americans who don’t really believe that it doesn’t matter where you came from, it matters where you’re going. And that’s what unites us, and that’s also what people worldwide find so remarkable.”
“birth defect” ?. lol!! if a white person had said that, al sharpton , jessie jackson and louis farrakant would have been on every tv station coast to coast, ranting and raving ..but as condi rice is black she gets a free pass to make a faux pas!!!” American slavery is a birth defect”.. that woman should just stop talking and go back to teaching russian….. what a plonker!!!
OLOUNWA…EVEN YOU . “A FOREIGN HOUSE NEGRO’..KNOW WHEN YOU SEE.” A SUPREME HOUSE NEGRO”.I AGREE WITH YOU THIS ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN SERVING…” SWEET POTATO PIE AND PANTIES. “.BACK IN THE DAY!
She meant that slavery was “accepted” by the framers of the constitution even though it was inconsistent with the major principles of this nation. But you are right… if some other person had said that Al and Jessie and Louis would have had a field day in the press and asked for a resignation.
Dr. Rice is a GRAND BLACK Woman that made a life for herself, and she does not need a Resume. Good luck when you return to Stanford.

I’m not understanding you right now, yes the AA race has a lot of cleaning up to do, but for you to put Condaleeza down like that, is just mean i’m appalled and you shpuld be ashame of yourself

Black people .
You black people.
ms rice looks just like my mom and she acts like her also! she loved white men . matter of fact my mom was the hooker on the block.
I think the secretary of state Condoleezza Rice statement was very accurate
racism is still alive and well worldwide and I pray we overcome this stigma.
I very proud of Condoleezza Rice she’s a brilliant women and role scholar,
we as african american need that balance, we may disagree on
political views, but I respect her knowlege and opinion and I believe president elect Obama, feel the same way and will be consulting with her.
Olounwa aka (sha nea-nea) again your making very foolish statements,
but thanks again for your acknowlegement of ourcommunity leaders.

bloody nig!@# in scottland ,so don’t get it twisted…..
