		<description>I agree PJ #113, I used to admire Condi so much but now all respect is gone. I am white and hated because I&#039;m white. My great great grandpa died fighting to free Condi&#039;s great great grandparents. He wasted away in Andersonville Prison. Where is my reperations for the suffering my ancestors went through? I don&#039;t even get a thank you I only get hated for being the color I was born with. My finacee that moved her from India agress with me too. Thank God she is colorblind.</description>

		<description>I used to really admire Condi Rice and even have some bumper stickers proposing her for President.  No longer.  Now she is exposed as just another Oprah - supporting someone solely based on skin color.  I am so disillusioned.  Isn&#039;t there any person of color who doesn&#039;t see color first and last and inbetween?</description>

My sleeve has wilted of its hearts :(

This was over the line, and I hope she will come back to me.</description>

		<description>I am so disappointed in Condi Rice. I have always admired her greatly. I thought she was a cut above. To my dismay, she&#039;s lowered herself to Jesse Jackson&#039;s level. She obviously no longer wants to be judged by the content of her character (which is exemplary) but rather by the color of her skin. Shame on her.</description>

		<description>emjem24,

&lt;blockquote&gt;The State Department is a rudderless boat with no direction accept kissing the cheeks of dictators and paying lip service to the ideas that used to stand for something in this country. We’re all a country of victims trying to empathize with a global community of dictators and weak-kneed pissants. An America without back bone will never be able to confront and adapt to a changing world.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It is OUR money, WASTED TAX DOLLARS being poured out into programs, that address the barest concerns, it doesn&#039;t advance us far enough or the people we purport to help. It isn&#039;t the amount of money, it is the way the money is used. That is on STATE DEPARTMENTS WATCH. Condi Rice is concerned about Diversity in the State Department. Why is she not concerned about Performance - her own, she is the Secretary of State. The Americans paying TAXES, are all colors. First she should &quot;Take an Inventory&quot; of her own accomplishments, including improving The State Department&#039;s Performance. She can call it, Operation Priorities.</description>

		<description>Over at the Border Patrol there is a huge disparity of Hispanics being hired with numbers reaching like 80% and climbing.

The last time I checked that is the exact opposite of the make up of this country, in other words it is racist.

Where is all the outrage at the Border Patrol that it does not look like America?

I am so sick and tired of the affirmative action racism in this country.

Condi is clueless just like the rest of the parasites of the Washington DC elite.</description>

		<description>Affirmative Action and minority privileges are unconstitutional. &lt;strong&gt;PERIOD.&lt;/strong&gt;

If we, as a country, want to assist anyone who has unjustifiably been &quot;held down&quot;, then the first course of action is to bring charges against the criminal that &quot;held them down&quot;.

It is unconstitutional to take action on a whole race due to the actions of a few (and I do mean &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a few&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; - read your history).</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;“I want to see a Foreign Service that looks as if black Americans are part of this great country,” Rice told a gathering of black colleges and universities in Washington.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And how does this happen? If history serves, un-pigmented people will lose their jobs and pigmented people will take them. 

After a trillion dollars has been spent.

Racism is alive and well in America.</description>

		<description>Condi, can you send an angry letter to Mexico. Please tell them to stop the INVASION!

Go ahead and give yourself a bonus on the tax payer dime. Your doing such a great job allowing all those Muslims into this country who love our way of life. Just like the ones found guilty of terrorism in the UK.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Monday it was “unacceptable” that there were so few black people like herself in the US diplomatic corps.&lt;/blockquote&gt;Are they applying?  are they qualified?  Are they studying and going to school to become them?  Are they passing the tests?  

Or do we need to change the tests, lower the requirements, place them into the classes, change the qualifications...

Hmmmm....almost like there is a pattern.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Why would black people wanted to be exploited like that, anyway?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Because they think this grants them the the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;perceived&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &quot;privileges&quot; that Caucasians have (not).

The only privileges that I have seen for my entire 47 years is those granted to minorities and denied Caucasians. This equates to Government sponsored racism against whites, because benefits and privileges are denied based solely on race or skin color.

When will we stop punishing people in our country just because they were born with a &quot;whitish&quot; skin color and arbitrarily &quot;reward&quot; based on any color other than a &quot;whitish&quot; color?</description>

		<description>It reminds me of an article maybe a year ago that said something to the effect of the state of Maine loosing its federal funding for their colleges because there weren&#039;t enough black people. Well, the state&#039;s population of blacks is like 1%. Maybe they don&#039;t like the cold- who knows... but how are you going to meet a federal quota when the entire population is only 1%? They were trying to recruit black people to go to college in Maine, so Maine didn&#039;t loose money. 

Here&#039;s the thing- in addition to it being wrong- must have a quota of X% of people with this or that skin color (and whites are not measured in that standard), regardless of intellect... &lt;em&gt;how are you going to make the black people get involved???&lt;/em&gt;

You know why there are not more blacks in Washington politics? BECAUSE THEY DON&#039;T WANT TO BE!!!! If they wanted to be there, they would! Same with Maine- if they wanted to go to College there, they would! Otherwise, they&#039;re going to hang and attend in Georgia!

You can&#039;t make people do anything, especially when it&#039;s simply exploiting a person&#039;s skin color to make certain appearances. Why would black people wanted to be exploited like that, anyway?</description>
