"I don't believe for a minute..."-Condoleeza Rice

Condoleezza Rice, the secretary of state, toured her home state, Alabama. She had been criticised for watching the Broadway musical Spamalot as New Orleans became swamped. On returning to Washington, she denied that the delay in sending help had anything to do with most of the stranded survivors being black. "I don't believe for a minute anybody allowed people to suffer because they are African-Americans," she said.

2. She is right!
They suffered because her boss froze up again.

3. And I don't believe anyone would be killing insurgents in their
own country because they are Iraqi, but they are.

4. no, they suffered because they were POOR
African-Americans. Condi has equal disdain for poor whites, Hispanics, Native Americans, etc, etc.

8. You see, I left my African American identity behind
when I became a corporate white male. I just look like an African-American, but in essence, I'm not.

18. Yes, my masquerade as black, helps my masters fill their
minority quota. I'm more than happy to help them, so they don't ever have to really hire any of "THOSE PEOPLE."

9. I really believe her
It was a red state in a non-election year and the worst hit votes Democratic.

That what Bush cares about.

12. Race Class Poverty
If those African-Americans could have just pooled their money like the wealthy tourists at that one hotel, who rented a few busses for 25,000 dollars early in the week, and were able to get out of town.

But if Condoleeza Rice doesnt believe it for a minute then what right do *I* have as a white person to contradict her beliefs? :eyes: :sarcasm:

Spin spin !! She's proof there is no racism in America right? Go back to studying the Soviet Union at Stanford you fucking hag.

14. She's full of shit
She knows. She can pretend all she wants, but she knows. And even If she doesn't think skin color had anything to do with it-- THERE WAS NO FUCKING EXCUSE ANYWAY. So what was the cause of the delay? Are we going to blame the mayor again?
Just like the little girl in the story of the "Little Red Shoes" Condoleeza, may you be forced to dance and dance and dance in those misbegotten shoes you were so busy buying until your suffering matches what the worst of those people had to bear.
And for your next "play" may you be forced to watch over and over again the suffering of the injured, the drowning and the dying until your screams match theirs.

22. She might be the only African-American not upset about this week.
I don't believe for a minute she's human. She seems cyborg to me.

24. This is the most accurate comment thus far about her.
She is the ONLY AA NOT upset about this week. At least the highest profile AA that isn't.

What does that say about her?
