“descendants of slaves..."

An aside, perhaps, but just for the record, is Obama a descendent of slaves?

The Secretary of State is pro abortion, from what I gain.

AND, the Japanese NEVER suffered during the days of World War II, the Chinese Coolies, never felt the harshness of iron, how about Irish immigrants who came fleeing a potatoe famine? How many actually did make it through at Ellis Island only to become indentured servants, working 14 years for their passage to America. Homesteaders in SW Kansas and SE Colorado went bankrupt,during the days of the Dirth Thirties, Dust Bowl, many died of diptheria, typhoid and the flue. My kin lost farms TWICE...but they kept struggling. Some people need to get a LIFE, and make the most of their lemons.

Interesting that she comes out with this now. Maybe She is running for VP.

Both of the issues in the Article are exactly why I and many others say NO to a Condi VP question. No way.

Go far back enough in history and it's pretty much a certainty that everyone on the planet has an ancestor who was enslaved or forced to labor for others. Similarly, everyone on the planet has had ancestors who've been raped, murdered, robbed, etc.

What all this has to do with those of us currently alive, and why some of us insist on using it to claim victim-power isn't clear, especially since everyone on the planet also has ancestors who've committed all of the same crimes.

And how about the Jews who were persecuted in Germany and Russia, Poland, etc. and those who lost their relatives and still came to this country and built a life, many who couldn’t speak the language...there was no welfare, no “job training’ , no EEO lawsuits or Jewish affirmative action.

Hey, african Americans...you don’t have a corner on suffering. Its one thing to complain, its another to ask everyone else to take care of you and be ungrateful.

Africans and Europeans came here and founded this country together — Europeans by choice and Africans in chains. That’s not a very pretty reality of our founding.”

So she blames the problems of blacks on "birth defect" of the nation because blacks were slaves at the founding of the nation. I wonder how she can explain the rise of Asians and Japanese in our culture when they haven't been here as long as the blacks? Maybe she, like Obama, still sees chains on the blacks. Ah, yes, got to love the talk of one nation one people. As long is there is government to keep the races separated by class warfare there never will be.

well, my point is a little bit less broad in scope. He's really not your average black guy, is he? He really can't identify with the experience of your average black American male, can he? This isn't even a real black man.

I guess I have to second the original question: who is this guy?

For those who were wanting Rice as a presidental candidate in 2008, thank the Lord you didn’t get your wish. Furthermore, she is another example of the people “W” surrounded himself with, second raters.
I’m glad John Bolton is speaking out.

While I would like a race blind approach, I think some here are being ridiculous to think an American black woman would say about race "Gee, what's that?" I'm deeply frustrated with black racism, but we did have slavery and plenty of bigotry, and there still is plenty.

I don't think Rice's comments were any big deal, it would be folly to think blacks are not race conscious, and a bit much to complain when a black mentions racism, because blacks don't have it as bad as Jews, Syrians, etc. A history of slavery is a pretty strong historical element. Nor do I think Rice was being a "victim".

BINGO!

It's time for the candidates to dig out their copies of A Natiopn of Victims.

Until the leaders tell people to pull themselves up and stop whining, we'll have these whinefest campaigns.

They will never get over it until they bleed us dry. Ask them if they feel the same about the Black Chiefs in Africa that sold them to the slavers. Along with that, America only had 5% of the slaves.
