WASHINGTON – An emotional Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice reveled Wednesday in Barack Obama's election, calling it an "extraordinary step forward" for the nation.

A child of the segregated deep South who became the highest-ranking African-American woman ever in American government and was once considered a potential Republican presidential nominee, Rice called the Democratic president-elect "inspirational" and said his victory was proof of America's promise.

Ever since the OJ Verdict, I have been convinced that many blacks are psychologically disturbed individuals.

They're not psychologically disturbed. They're indoctrinated.

Blacks have spent at least 2 generations listening to the likes of Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, Calypso Louie Farrakan, Rev. Wright, and a hundred other pastors in historically black churches preach to them over and over again that a Black Man can't get anywhere in White America.

They have spent time in "Afro-centric" charter schools like the ones that Obama and Ayers were funding in Chicago. They have been educated in Predominately Black Colleges, paid for by the United Negro College Fund. Even if they attended a "white" college, they had their choice of "African-American Studies" programs that again filled them with the rage of past wrongs, without even trying to show how the United States has moved on since the era of Jim Crowe laws.

If any good comes of Zero's election, hopefully it will be the end of this sort of indoctrination.

But I doubt it.

I'm betting the MSM never publishes a cartoon this racist of Bambi.

[Perdogg]

I agree with what you say. However, they never give conservative african-americans the benefit of the doubt.

[Prokopton]

The only conclusion I can come to is that the vast majority of blacks in this Country are socialist. I am against socialists.

[pgkdan]

So, while the rest of us see Obama (rightly) as a Marxist Chavista demagogue, the Blacks see in him a miracle.

Sorry but the vast majority of those who voted for him did not grow up in the 'segregated south'. Many grew up in the Segregated north and many, many were born after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and grew up in a world that gave them excuses and hand outs all their lives.

[rintense]

True. And you can acknowledge, from an historical viewpoint, the importance of his election, and not be a supporter.

I don't think she voted for him at all. Like the article said, she's spent too much time stating she's a republican.

Mac.. currently live in DFW...have been in Texas since my teens. Lived in different countries before that as Dad was working for different goverments.

"As an African-American, I'm especially proud,"

Of what? The first president who admits to using cocaine? The first president having had dual citizenship in Kenya? The first president to call our Constitution a flawed document? The first president to mock American motherhood and hunting? The first president to call an opponent a pig? The first president to have multiple family members living on public assistance and in slums around the world?

She just kissed her future in the Republican party “goodby.”
To say “nothing” of gratitude for her opportunities.

[AJMCQ]

Do you think the fawning media would have called her campaign “HISTORIC’ or MONUMENTAL” had she run?

[AJMCQ]

Do you think her campaign would have been refered to as “Historic” or “Momentous” had Condoleezza run?

“One of the great things about representing this country is that it continues to surprise,....it continues to renew itself. It continues to beat all odds and expectations.”

I heard this snippet on the radio. I took it as an encouraging word for the Dark Years that await us.

As for his race, the color of his skin is the only good thing about him being president.

[Mac from Cleveland]

Thanks-didn’t mean to be nosy.

[JustaCowgirl]

And the first President to flip the bird, and in a slimy underhanded manner at that, to two of his opponents. Utterly crass hooligan behavior, and totally unworthy of a candidate for office at any level.

[hoosierham]

This election just showed that blacks are more racist and socialist than whites.

If black voters had been split in the same percentages as white voters,Obama would have lost in at least a half-dozen more states.

[hunter112]

The same thing could have been said about women if McCain-Palin had won. But the important thing would not have been that a woman crashed the glass ceiling (that's only important to Hillary's shrews), but that someone representing heartland American values would be in one of the top two slots.

It's not about race, color or gender, it's about the content of one's character. Or didn't you learn that lesson from the person who taught it?

[Prole]

I hear you.

One of my buddies at work overheard a black guy talking to other blacks about how Obama is all wrong for America.

They basically called him "Uncle Tom" and all this crap.

It's so sad.

[CPC24]

I saw the video of her statement. She was emotional, but not in a positive way. She looked totally pissed that he had won, but was trying to be polite.

[mquinn]

> conservative african-americans

I’m sorry, who?

In all seriousness though, where are they? It reminds me a bit of the calls that “Islam isn’t so bad, its just the extremists”, and then when we ask “well why don’t all of those moderate Islamists stand up more and condemn the extremists”, we’re met with...silence.

Where are the JC Watts’ to stand up an cancel out the Al Sharptons’ ? Geez, even a Bill Cosby would be nice.

[SoftwareEngineer]

Hunter et all,

I am not justifying the election of Obama, I am just giving you an alternate point of view, from their point of view.

I (being a non Black) view Obama as just a politician and hence can see that he is Marxist.

However, a Black, does not see him solely as a politician. They see him as a miracle.

Just trying to give an alternate point of view.
