A coalition of black clergy Friday denounced recent "racial motivated attacks" by three editorial cartoonists, the Washington Post and the New York Times upon National Security Adviser Dr. Condoleezza Rice, who was recently nominated by President Bush to serve as the next secretary of state.
The Faith Based Leadership Council, a group of over 200 black clergy and members of the faith-based community, said cartoonists Jeff Danzinger, Pat Oliphant, Garry Trudeau, the Post and the Times have used racial stereotypes "to conduct their personal character assassination of" Rice's integrity because she chose to serve the Bush administration.
"These cartoonists believe that the liberal views of the Washington Post and New York Times somehow provides cover for them to engage in racist attacks upon Dr. Rice and other minority in the Bush Administration," said Oliver N.E. Kellman, Jr., executive director of the FBLC, in a statement.
"Mr. Danzinger's, Mr. Oliphant's and Mr. Trudeau's racist depictions of Dr. Rice are of the most twisted Ku Kluz Klan/Skinhead Mindset. I am astonished that the NAACP, Rainbow-Push and other traditional civil rights groups did not denounce this type of trash from the very first day it was reported," Kellman said in a statement.
"Instead, they are silent witnesses to this racially motivated character assassination because of Dr. Rice's politics," he added. "The FBIC believes in the advancement of all Americans, no matter their political affiliation, gender or ethnic background.
"Dr. Rice has been singled out for persecution by a handful of bigoted liberals who have characterized her as a steppin and fetchin sambo," said Kellman, adding that he believes "they feel threatened and disturbed by the fact that Dr. Rice will soon be the most powerful Black woman in the United States as Secretary of State."
The FBLC is calling on the cartoonists and both papers to publicly apologize to Rice. "White liberals in the media have come to feel that they can openly attack any Black conservative that chooses to serve the nation," the group said.
The group is also urging the Justice Department to conduct a full investigation into these incidents and whether the civil rights of Rice and outgoing Secretary of State Colin Powell were violated "by the promotion of racial bigotry towards persons of color serving their nation."
Meanwhile, John "Sly" Sylvester, a white radio talk show host in Madison, Wisc., Friday defended comments he made calling Rice an "Aunt Jemima," saying he did it to indicate her subservient role in the Bush administration.
Sylvester said the Bush administration is using Rice for the "illusion of inclusion," and he expressed the opinion that Rice isn't up to the job of secretary of state, wire reports said.
According to the Associated Press, Sylvester said he will "apologize to Aunt Jemima" on Friday's show by giving away pancake mix and syrup. The Madison branch of the NAACP had no immediate comment on Sylvester's remarks.
"To hear the leftists tell it, conservative blacks have become the new 'trash class' of American society," said Michael King, a member of Project 21, a black conservative group. King condemned the cartoonists' depictions of Rice as well as Sylvester's comments about Rice and Powell.
"And with the continued cricket-filled silence from the professional civil rights crowd, the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons give tacit permission and acceptance of such language and tactics," King said.
"The recent racist attacks and mimicry of Condoleezza Rice are infuriating and despicable. Even more insufferable is the deafening silence of the elite liberals," Project 21 member Mychal Massie.
"I believe their silence is proof positive of their personal racist attitudes. Obviously condemning racist attacks against a man and woman who are conservative and black is not a worthy undertaking for them," Massie said.
Excellent.
Hey Mike, your famous! L0L

Well its only a matter of time before the NAACP, Jesse, Al, and the rest take up the cause.

Well that is what I said when the scummy, leftist MSM slandered Condi Rice. Where are these money-mongering, racist, losers when one of their own is under attack?? Oh, I forgot...they are not pocketing any money or political mileage from this -- so it's not an issue.
Just another shining example of THE MASS HYPOCRISY OF THE SO-CALLED BLACK LEADERS OF AMERICA -- nothing but a bunch of back-alley, low-life racists. It would take 1000 of them to stand up to make a shadow of Condi Rice.
You mean this gentleman?
I, for one, would class our own mhking as "a FR Stalwart"...
Ooooops, Mike -- forgot to ping you...
Amen! And may God Bless him and others who try to bring the truth to life...
He's probably too busy polishing up his attack on the Indiana Pacers for suspending Ron Artest.
I hope they are also absorbing that the attacking publications are all liberal?
The DEMOCRATS PLANTATION is under attack.....having Condelizza Rice, and so many other competent black American's, is helping the fight, and President Bush is at the forefront of the battle.
As I recall, the qualifications of Ron Brown were debated and challenged by conservatives. And I think, rightfully so. However, I don't remember any conservative calling him an "Uncle Tom," or depicting him as a "steppin fetchit" who was "subserviant" to President Clinton.
UpHereEh, 'mhking' is the man quoted in the article who is affiliated with Project 21. 'Trueblackman' is as well. Both are awesome long time FReepers.
As to the cartoonists(?) who are defaming our wonderful Dr. Rice, they are the lowest of the low!
Some day the blacks in America are going to wake up to the FACT that libs and Rats are nothing but liars, cheats and racists of the worst order. The absolute worst!
Did anyone else see this "John "Sly" Sylvester" on John Kasic's show last night (FOX)? WHO is he to determine WHO is capable of being Sec. of State? They guy is a total zero, can't even comb his hair for a TV interview.
By N-quadruple-A (American Association of African Americans) standards, it seems, it is ok to denigrate an African American, even call them "nigger" or "neandrethal" if that person happens to be of conservative persuasion, but if they are liberals, don't even use the name "negro" or "colored people" or you will feel the wrath of the AAAA, even though their org.'s real name has the words "colored people" in it.
You mean......they're SLAVES to the demonicrat party? (/sarcasm>
I was quite pleased to note that the Washington Post has terminated Ted Ralls, who claimed to be a cartoonist, but just spewed Trash.
He showed his bigotry and racist inclinations in a cartoon which demeaned Dr. Rice about 1 July where Condi Rice is depicted saying, "I was Bush's beard. His house nigga! His -".
I believe that led to his departure from MSNBC.
I don't spend much time on the Garbage that Ralls spews from the City Dump but it wouldn't surprise me to find that he had participated in the outing of Mary Cheney.
They don't presume equivalence, they presume superiority. On on what basis? It can only be racial or ideological. As white liberals they feel that they have the right to judge anyone.
Too little too late.
