Harare - Zimbabwe's state-run Herald newspaper on Saturday launched a vitriolic attack on US secretary of state nominee Condoleezza Rice, calling her anti-black and an apologist for "white sins".
A weekly column compared Rice to her predecessor, Colin Powell, whom it called an "Uncle Tom", a put-down of a black who is overeager to win the approval of whites.
"She is a black woman who will be manly and white in her relentless assault on blacks, their liberties and their remnant and dwindling sovereignities," said the column.
"She will be a black who washes away the sins of white power as it bludgeons non-white states."
The comments came after Rice on Tuesday branded Belarus, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea and Zimbabwe as "outposts of tyranny".
The Herald said Rice was a "genuine door bell whose chime announces the arrival of the white Bush, the same way her 'outposts of tyranny' speech foreshadowed and set the tone for Bush's inauguration one."
"She is no denizen of the black square, a place she associates with failure, dishonour and shame," it said, adding that those who expected her to "proclaim the cause of the black man and woman, demanding atonement," would be bitterly disappointed.
The Herald predicted that Rice would be the "alto horn that leads and plays harbinger to Bush's bass as it thunders and rings across the globe with Iraq as its lighter prelude."
The Zimbabwean government on Friday dismissed Rice's comments, saying Harare was unruffled about what "fascists" thought of it.
"The western world is now composed and governed by fascists," Zimbabwe's Anti-Corruption Minister Didymus Mutasa said, when asked about Rice's comments.
"When you look at the way that Iraq is, and the way the Palestinians have been ignored, and the way that we and others who are socialists are being treated, you cannot doubt that these people are fascists," said Mutasa.
"The best we can do is to ignore them and just work for the good of our people."
Does this make Barbara Boxer anti-white?
For this much ignorance to be spoken by another human being, the world must be coming to an end.
Mugabe, as a black man does his best to act like a white dictator.
This sounds like something the New York Times (Slimes) would put out.
Does this mean if I love Robert Mugabe that I hate blacks? Sounds right by his twisted logic.
Oh that's rich.
Part of the reason I posted it. I watched the first day of the confirmation hearing and it struck me that behind a lot of the opposition was this thought. One that none of her critics could bring themselves to say. The best move now would be for someone to tie those critics to this for more people to realise that there is more than one way to be racist.
It seems to me that Condi is one of the few that judge all people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their heart. Isn't that the goal of MLK?
Translation: "Just who the heck does she think she is being a human being and not just a little black girl! Doesn't she know her place?"
I'm sure he's read Mein Kampf.
The government of Zimbabwe is anti-black. They are destroying an African country -- Zimbabwe!
Isn't it funny how the world's most pathetic and oppressive governments are so eagerly drawn the Palestinian issue, on the side of the Palestinians of course. It's like Palestine is a massive turd, and all these tyrannical regimes are flies.
Robert Mugabe is a racist pig. The only thing that separates that moron from Adolf Hitler is his lack of military might.
Condi Rice is a proud and smart American serving her country for all it's people. Just stay the course and your detractors will eat their own words. Again, I salute Condi Rice as a wonderful person who is doing a great job serving her country.
Any American black who doesn't thoughtlessly and incessantly scream "racism" is "anti-black" or an "Uncle Tom" or "Aunt Jemima" to these braindeads.
He's also in the process of reclaiming all the world's land by right of inheritance through his direct descent from 'Lucy.'
The "dark" Continent is not about race, is it?
It's an attitude thing. She's not anti-black, so much as she doesn't have a ghetto attitude and doesn't have a victim mentality. I am sure the Freepers on here who are black are pretty much the same way. There's being proud of one's culture, which is completely different from wallowing in the bad parts of its past and not striving to better oneself.
