Dayo Olopade, Bigot

I'm sure I wouldn't want to be held accountable for the rest of my life for what I thought and wrote when I was a college sophomore. But I think maybe this "black" "woman" will have it coming to her:

Is Condoleezza Rice really a black woman?

While she may appear on the outside to share the color and therefore sentiments of black people, actions speak louder than both words and skin.....

And isn't it a little fishy that Condi, clearly past her expiration date in terms of international knowledge, is still the leader of U.S. foreign policy? The position of secretary of state is not a learn-as-you-go job. In a just universe, she would be sacked for being an analog girl in a digital world. Her "expert" knowledge of foreign affairs is as rusty and outdated as the disintegrating Soviet warheads she learned Russian to contain. Times have changed, and her eastern European skill set seems 14 years behind them.

And no, I didn't slip when I referred to dear Condi as a right-hand man. Her blank-eyed compliance with W's first term misogynist agenda will surely turn into a rubber stamp in round II. We won't see the woman part of this secretary of state. After all, she knows better than to bite the hand that feeds her....

(Thanks, Susanna.)
