Quite the prepubescent civil rights warrior compared to the Old White Men who evidently did nothing to end segregation, much less slavery. Black Women are just superior that way, I guess.

If you read the article, it cleary states that Dr. Rice's family chose education as their way out of segregation, and not marching in the streets with MLK.

And they did a damn fine job, evidently.

So why is she sounding the note of overcoming segregation and oppression when -- for whatever reason -- it affected not one bit her ability to be educated and achieve to the n^th degree?

Thanks for your comments. I like your picture on your homesite!

You have to understand, by the way, that I'm one of those yokels who believes that a certain amount of segregation actually is GOOD for education. Keeping boys from girls when hormones are popping, for instance.

Desegregation (particularly that which was forced by federal fiat) seems only to have hurt, not helped.

But of course, desegregation on its OWN terms would be a case of "RIGHT", not "MIGHT". I'm sure Condi and her folks would agree with me that it was wrong for the feds to force us to do anything ... particularly as regards the education system over which they should have no control whatsoever.
