CONDI'S SECRET OF SUCCESS?
I have an acqaintance who was a student at Stanford while Condoleeza Rice was provost there. As a member of an officially recognized minority group, he was accorded the honor of attending a lecture to minority students given by the illustrious Dr. Rice. Her advice to the ethnic minority students at Stanford?

"Find the richest white man you can and be his friend."

4. Yeah, she's a professional ass kisser.
She seems like the "do anything to get ahead type". Ethics would be no issue for her. She fits right in with those neocon types.

5. Her graduate school professor at the U. of Denver
was interviewed on local radio and said Rice's father raised her to be "Little Star."

6. The whole internet
is silent on this issue. Sounds kind of suspect to me.

7. True
I'm just passing along what the guy said. He's not the type to make up wild stories.

Maybe--just maybe--the internets are not the repository of all human knowledge.

9. IF she said anything like this. . . .
my guess is it was something like "find the most successful person you can and get to know them and what it is that makes them successful."
