WASHINGTON (AP) - Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says the country is not "race-blind" and "we shouldn't deceive ourselves that we're race-blind," but said the election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president was a key moment in history.

"I think all Americans were quite taken with the fact that we were able, after the long history we've been through, that initial birth defect of slavery, that we've elected an African-American."

"African-American" Uber Alles.

In other words, she too is shocked that all whites aren't a bunch of racists. She has made a lot of very disappointing statements over the past six months or so about how she views America viewing Obama.

[Vaquero]

any ‘Hyphenated American’ is un American.

[EternalVigilance]

Quisling.

His mother is white - why is he pure African-American and not half African-American? Never mind, I don’t need an answer.

[pissant]

She probably voted for the marxist POS too.

[NewCenturions]

There are plenty of black leaders (in Africa). What would be a big “to-do” would be the election of a “Native American” indian! This reverse racism gets so ridiculous.

Rice: Obama election encourages people worldwide

What a race suckup.
The only people encouraged by Obamas win are socialists and terrorists

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Anybody here still want her as VP?

I didn't back then when everyone was shouting her name (because they foolishly believe it would help us win minority votes...no “R” can do that), and I still don't.

I find it amazing that if his father was white and mother was black;he’d be accused of playing black.

[mefistofelerevised]

[Maceman]

He doesn’t encourage me. In fact, he makes me pretty damned nervous.

Condoleezza Rice... said the election of Barack Obama as the first African-American president was a key moment in history.

Yup. I'd put it right up there with the first, OJ verdict.

[DooDahhhh]

May that is what they mean about being “taken aback”.

[rjsimmon]

His mother is white - why is he pure African-American and not half African-American?

As Ann Coulter put it, he is "Halfrican"

[IbJensen]

There won’t be a dime’s worth of difference between Rice and Hitlery excepting, as far as we know, CondoLeeza doesn’t have an arab bunkmate.

[Alia]

The election of Obama is going to make it pretty tough on the Racialists of the UN to attempt, again, to brand the U.S. a racist nation.

After reading what all else Miss Rice had to say at article source, I hope to read her books. She was in the "arena", and I'd like to see what she saw from that vantage point.
