| Background on Condolezza Rice. |
| 2003-08-27 |
| On September 15, 1963, a Sunday morning, Condi was standing inside her father’s church when she felt the floor shake. A bomb had exploded two blocks away at Sixteenth Street Baptist Church, killing four young black girls. One was Rice’s schoolmate. That blast, rather than derailing the civil rights movement, energized the crusade to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Rice would later say the memory of "home-grown terrorism" from 1960s Birmingham flooded back into her mind after the 9/11 attacks. These early childhood memories have become a cornerstone in Rice’s political convictions about the importance of human dignity and individual liberty for all people. In the war on terror, Condolezza Rice, Bush’s National Security Advisor, is a key player. This is an excellent overview of Condi’s upbringing, where she’s coming from, and gives an idea of what to expect from her. To any lurking Islamofreaks: THIS is what you’re up against, and what you’re missing by suppressing your wimmenfolk. Give the f*ck up. Y’all are DOOMED. |

| #11 "and the choir kept singing of freedom" -- about the only Joan Baez song I still like, I think the title was "Birmingham Sunday" |

| #8 Let me try to help those 'lesser abled'. Irony (n): the expression of one's meaning by using words of the opposite meaning on order to make one's remarks forceful. They learned us all sort of knowin up here in the big house. p.s. I'm also a huge Eric Clapner fan. |

| #6 I take it as a very good sign when the trolling racist has to remain anonymous. I just wish the racist would troll elsewhere. |

| #4 Um hmm. And from your tone and attitude, Anonymous, it appears that you feel yourself particularly suited and emotionally equipped to play Simon Legree as counterpoint to her "Uncle Tom", no? |

| #2 Hey Anonymous to afraid to be known given you'll be blasted for the "Uncle Tom" slurs? Sounds like you'd prefer that they were down on the plantation with you rather than making it on their own and doing something for their country. Y'all can always move to France or Canada. |

| #1 It's too bad that she and Colin Powell are (Aunt and) Uncle Toms allowed to serve in the master's house, otherwise they'd make great role models. Oh well, someday we'll get another Jocelyn Elders. |
