"Are you sure about that? I had always heard Rice was anti-affirmative action. And she does not hold her current position because of affirmative action."

When Trent Lott got in trouble for saying what he did both Powell and Rice came out and said they supported affirmative action. It was a big surprise and let down to me and it's changed my opinions on both. I don't know of any other black republicans who support reverse racism the way they do.

You have a reference for that? I'm almost sure I have heard Condi speak against Affirmative Action in its current form. I'll have to dig around but I would swear I've actually heard her say positive things about the Jim Crow South. Something along the lines of 'it was possible for a black person to make it during those days if he worked hard enough'.

I find this very hard to believe. Of Powell, sure. But of Condi- it seems a direct contradiction of other things that she's said.
