I have to get something off my chest about Susan Rice.
« on: November 26, 2012, 01:02:58 PM »
Our Ambassador to the U.N., Susan Rice, is not black and it seems ridiculous to me that those attacking her are being accused of racism. If I hadn't been told by the media I would not have even considered her to be a "person of color."

 ???  Last time I saw her on TV she looked black to me.  What color is she?  Perhaps I need to adjust the TINT on my TV set.  =|

Honestly, since I hadn't ever seen Ms. Rice, I had no clue she was black until I read that I only objected to her lying on national television because I was a racist.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Take a look at her kids (attractive buggers).

Then think: They will get an affirmative action bonus over poor white trash...to add to the "well-connected" bonus.

The issue with Rice isn't Race, it's that she's one more highly-credentialed leftist who emerged from the academic-government axis.  People used to pay their dues in Foreign Service for years with creaky overhead fans and crumbling files cabinets in far-off squalor.  Now they just get a PhD from Hopkins in International Relations and attain immediate expertise.

I agree with this. The last few months, whenever some crisis happens there seems to be a plague of young Georgetown-educated Smart People to tell us what's going on and why it's our fault.

She's black?

Hell, I had a Filipino bank teller that was "blacker" than that.

We have a young lady from India in QA -- an uncomfortably hot little number -- who's darker than that.

In fact, my son's girlfriend's buddy (seen here in purple) is that dark, and nobody calls her "black."

What is it with "black" nowadays?  Is that a new status symbol?

Anytime the left has no substance to their argument all they have to do is play the race card.
If the minority they are protecting is also a woman then they can double trump with the racist/sexist combo play.
If they could find a mixed race black/Hispanic quadriplegic woman with downs syndrome to be their spokesperson they'd never even have to respond to anything because no one in the GOP would dare criticize them.

Are you joking? "Black" indicates African ancestry. Actual skin color may vary.

So . . . how many generations back is that valid?

Does my Scottish-via-Norse/Celt/French-via-Caucuses-via-blah-blah-blah-via-Mesopotamia-via-(??)-out-of-Africa heritage count?

'Cuz, if it does, I was a freckle-faced, sandy-haired, pale-and-sunburned African-American kid in my youth, and now just a tubby, graying, still-easily-sunburned African-American olde dude.

Doesn't that entitle me to something?

Susan Rice is but one of a sizeable cadre of black women Obama has placed in critical, policy-making roles in this administration.  We are not talking here just about "diversity."  Draw your own conclusions.

The only "fair" thing to do is destroy the idea of "America".
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

It's the ultimate excuse.

Won't do you job and about to get fired? You're disadvantaged because of your skin pigment, so you are entitled to that job.
Somebody won't give you a job because you are unqualified? Play the race card.
Arrested because you commit a crime? The police are targeting you because you are black, not because you are the black male who just robbed the liquor store.
In politics and you are attacked for your unsuitability? Whip it out. The race card, that is.
Want .gov aid? Whip out your race card, you get a bigger slice of the pie since you aren't an evil whitey. (Student aid is a good example of this, you get more if you are a so-called "minority").

I'll believe the line "we are all equal" when the .gov stops basing everything on race and puts a stop to everything affirmative action.



Oh, and I like how Herman Cain "isn't authentically black" but anytime a Dem steps up to the plate, they cannot be criticized due to a somewhat darker skin.
