Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???...
Who called Condi a token Negro? Not I. Tokenism is quite a different thing from being called an Aunt Jemima or Uncle Tom.

You said, "I don't think that we have any evidence that she got where she is because she is black." Nobody has suggested that. That is definitely tokenism.

Condi is not a token Negro. She is a very intelligent Black woman who kisses the butts of Neo Cons to entrench her position of power and authority. She does this by lying to the public and doing whatever the Neo Cons want her to do.

I think you have confused the terms Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima with token Negro.

I'm waiting for Donuel to go out on a limb and compose a picture of Condi hanging her head and muttering, "Yes, Massah," while little children get blown to bits in the background. I feel more revulsion for her than I would a white man in the same position. She should know better!

Not often do Black women achieve a position of power. Being highly intelligent is a gift and a responsibility. She seems to have forgotten the responsible part of the equation. In other words, she has used her power in the same way it was used against her ancestors. She has no shame.

Ebbie - I don't expect White folks to understand how Women of Colour think but don't call me a racist just because you're confused. Thats plain ignorant, Honky talkin', from my point of view. Smarten up!
