Good for her. Brian probably tore into his producer after the show for inviting Dr. Rice. I’ll bet he was expecting a different answer.

Gotta give Condelleza Rice credit.She's been more faithful to the cause than most of the Bush lieutenants.
To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain
Rice is exactly right to fight against the error of historical anachronism. You have to look at these historical figures as people of their time.
To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain
Then, she dropped the history lesson that liberals could learn from: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and other slave owners were people of their times. So whitey was so stupid that he didn't know that?
She "dropped" a one sentence "lesson" ?
Really?
To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain
Liberals already hate Condi Rice. When she was named SoS by Bush, the editorial cartoonists made her into a fat black Aunt Jemima.
No one objected to the racist slur.
To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain
I love Condi Rice. Thank you for the post. I’ve seen several of her posts lately on facebook in support of preserving the statues and monuments. I appreciate her perspective.

Exactly...I also bet the Bush rino camp isn’t happy as they hate Trump and are firmly in the coup camp.

The zeitgeist of their time was different. Few understand this. Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future. ― George Orwell, 1984
So tear down the past and replace it with what? What you will have is a new French revolution, not a new American one.

I give her credit for standing for the truth, but I'm tired of seeing the "three-fifths" nonsense repeated yet again. Condi Rice is certainly smart enough to know that what that was about was the North trying to minimize the political power of the South in reapportionment by diluting the effect of the slaves they held. Counting slaves in equal numbers to anyone else in the census would have handed the South the legislative representation to keep slavery going. The reason for counting them as less than a full person, which was just a statistical strategy, not a value statement, was to deny the South that power and thus to more quickly end slavery.
It's just so utterly disingenuous when liberals mention this as if it were intended to deny blacks their dignity by valuing them less than whites. It had nothing to do with that, and in fact was attempting to accomplish exactly the opposite.

She’s an idiot who doesn’t grasp the simple concept that the Constitution’s 3/5ths clause benefited slave interests. Slave owning states would have been delighted if slaves counted 2x for purposes on apportioning the House of Reps.

I’ll put you down as undecided. :^)

To: humblegunner
humblerunner, she dropped more than a 1 sentence history lesson. Watch the video and hear what she said after that line that was so conveniently left out of this post.

To: noiseman
That was one of the most troublesome issues at the Constitutional Convention--whether to count the slaves in calculating the representation states would have in the House of Representatives. The northern states which had few or no slaves didn't want the slaves included at all, and feared that the three-fifths compromise would just encourage the southern states to keep importing more slaves.
In fact the 3/5 ratio went back to a deal made by the Confederation Congress over how to assess each state's tax contribution. It was estimated that the labor of 5 slaves was equivalent to the labor of 3 free persons. The slaves had no incentive to work well or work quickly (other than fear of punishment) and could be very ingenious at getting as little done as possible. John Adams once observed a group of 12 slaves working very inefficiently to get something done--apparently not grasping that they were doing so deliberately.
To: noiseman
Thx, also sick of the stupidity about “3/5th”.

Dana Perino would be one.

You mean the cartoons like these, where the liberal media showed what racist hypocrites they are?:
Notice the little heart earrings on Condi.

Don’t think so. Brian has always been conservative.
To: BlackFemaleArmyCaptain
Condi is a squishy liberal Rino at best and I couldn’t care less what she thinks about racism.
