From Indy Star website:
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Filmmaker Spike Lee urged blacks not to support Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice if she seeks the Republican presidential nomination.
Lee, director of "Malcolm X," "Jungle Fever" and "Do the Right Thing," spoke Wednesday on the Purdue University campus. He said everyone should register to vote -- and cast their ballots. And he urged blacks to look beyond race if Rice runs for president in 2008. During his speech, Lee told students they should use education to find their passion in life and then pursue it. He said that his family was an important factor in his success, with his grandmother, who is now 99 years old, helping put him through school by saving money from teaching and her Social Security checks. Lee said that when he entered the film business it was a time when black directors and actors remained a novelty. "When a black film came out, it was a national holiday," he said.
He knows she could probably kick his skinny little *behind* from here to Baghdad too.
"...you have a black female ready to tell black males to get up and get moving..."
My best guess is that is what is perceived. Condi is worthy of being a role model for humanity, period. Those blacks with an attitude problem that have made it having their cake and eating it too, in sports, entertainment, and politics despise her because she is not "black" enough.
I am in awe of Condi by way of how she handles herself with the press. She knows exactly what she's talking about, and will not allow anyone to wear her down, or trick her into making a faux pas. That is worthy of anyones admiration who is intellectually honest, regardless of her gender or skin color.
Your link does not go to this article. Is it real?
Should black men and women vote for Condi because she is black?
"...you have a black female ready to tell black males to get up and get moving..."
Uh...Sorry. My point being Condi is too busy for all that, and it is by her works that the statement seems to ring true by some, but at a stretch.
Of course not. Neither should they disqualify her on the basis that she is black AND conservative.

Spike Lee wants to do everyone's thinking for them. He wants to lead the people around like sheep. Condi Rice must scare the heck out of him.
