"The Angry Black Woman" Stereotype revisited

[AspenRose]

"Stereotypes about black women have coursed through pop culture for centuries. They range from the smiling, asexual, and often obese Mammy to the promiscuous Jezebel who lures men with her sexual charms. But the one getting a major workout these days is the angry black woman."

The article briefly mentions Condoleeza Rice:

"Millner hopes that recent events have elevated Rice from an "In-Denial" ABW to a "Silent-Stewer-That-Plots-Your-Demise." "I really do believe she's being pushed out as the fall guy for the shortcomings of the administration," Millner says. "If she's not mad, she needs to be."

And yes, the Omnipresent Omarosa is mentioned, too. Apparently a book is coming out on the subject, and a website is devoted to it as well.
