Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: ollaimh Date: 01 Oct 12 - 12:32 AM of course she is lying partly because she is american. all right wing americans and most of the rest have lost touch with reality. its part of the delusional escapist thinking of the rich descendants of those who worked to create the contry. the descendants think they are owed and shouldn't have to work like the previous generations, just invade other people countries. and pay for oit with a credit card. hows that working out? |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: GUEST,olddude Date: 30 Sep 12 - 10:04 AM I am sure Condi could care less who was with her or against her. Like the others she gets a ton of money for speaking engagements, books, interviews. A multi millionaire. None of them care who was for, against or in between . Fighting for someone who doesn't give a shit makes no sense and no politician gives a shit. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: GUEST,olddude Date: 30 Sep 12 - 09:58 AM Lets read the opening statement that Max put when people join mudcat. Especially the part about respect and refraining from all the name calling. If it were my site, and it is not, I would start pulling accounts and blocking IP addresses. In short, can we kindly Knock it off. It is getting old and trashing up the server. Max spent a lot of money to store info about music. This shit all of it belongs in the recycle bin. Including my comments No doubt good people will disagree so why not, we disagree lets leave it at that ... Gosh |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Sawzaw Date: 30 Sep 12 - 07:47 AM So Bobert is in the strongly agree column? The al Qaeda leader, Al-Zawahiri, said Obama, Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice "confirmed" Malcolm X's definition of a "house slave." He was referring to Malcolm X's distinction between slave-era "house Negroes," who lived comfortably in the big house abetting white supremacy, and "field negroes," who toiled in the fields under the whip, plotting resistance. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: GUEST,G Date: 29 Aug 05 - 08:08 AM I just discovered and read mosy of this thread. What a collosal waste of time-I am an idiot. The race reference accomplished nothing! House Negro? Only a racist would use that title. I can see much jealousy from some here and even though it not a qualified way to ascertain, at least one person with a massive case of low self-esteem. You are correct Martin, this Bobert person appears to be a Facist as well as a Racist and upon further reflection, several other "...ists" that reflect those that want to destroy, not help, this Country Mow that I have jumped into the center of posting procedures that I have been decrying, I will now go on that Sabbtical. If you have time, reread this thread and notice how deceitful, without fact, and mean spirited it became. Yours truly included. Trying to reinforce your position late in the thread with the same statement you started out with shows frustration with regard to the originator. More jealousy exhibited. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Bobert Date: 23 Feb 05 - 08:12 AM What, only *one* "Support Our Troops" sticker? Round these parts you gotta have at least 2 'er the cops will harrass ya and other drivers will make obscene jestures toward ya. Heck, my closest neigbor has 3 on the tailgate of his truck, 2 in the back window plus 2 Amercican flags on poles just behind the cab of his truck... Get with the program. As fir me, lets see what's on the back of my very old and beat up Toyota? Hmmmmmm? "Create Peace", "Be Green", "Imagination is More Important Than Knowledge", "Dean for President" and "Got Peace?"...Yeah, that's about it fir this ol' hillbilly... BTW, a 13 page memo from Richard Clarke has surfaced that he sent Condi Rice in late 2000 that outlines the threat of Al Qida. In the very first sentence he uses the word urgent and underlines it. He then goes on to provide a long detailed lists of terrorist comings and goings and asks for a "principles meeting' ASAP. But out Mr. Rice must not have thought it to serious since it was not acted upon until just a few days before 9/11... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Feb 05 - 10:49 PM It is the political party machine that chooses the candidates, Mary Garvey. They choose who the people get to vote for. They fund the campaigns. Most of the people they choose are those who will follow the established party line. It doesn't matter much what 51% of the people think when virtually all the key candidates are fielded BY the ruling $ySSTem and NOT by the public. That was the way they did it in Communist Russia too. The Party chose the candidates...the people ratified them. The only difference in the USA is that the Party is split into 2 supposedly separate wings...the Democrats and the Republicans...but it's still really just one huge Party, and IT chooses who you will vote for. Tweedledum or Tweedledee. There are very few real exceptions to that situation, which is really almost no choice at all. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Bobert Date: 22 Feb 05 - 10:25 PM Well, MG, white guys should scare the heck out of you... They are in the process of running the country off a cliff and unless yer living somewhere else, you are going to be taken down with them... Do you know about Haiti? In Haiti you have about 1% of the wealth people living behind walls and gates and 99% living in abject poverty... Tghe way the US is going, come back in 20 years, especially with the Chinese bankrolling our governemnt, and it will be the same... The world is a whole lot like a stcok car race. You get outta the lead draft and you can go from #1 to #21 in a heartbeat. You think that because we have nuclear weapons that won't happen? You are poorly misinformed. Lots of folks have nuclear weapons and thanks to yer Commander-inThief one more country came on board since he stole the 200 election... Nuclear weapons ain't the "security blanket" it once was... You are living in a Reaganesque dream world, my frined, that has nuthin' to do with the realities that somehow seem to escape Bush and his advisors... This ain't no rerun of "Death Valley Days". This id the real world. China is noe bankrollin' the US. Do you deny that? You may think you are safe and depending on yer age you may be. But yer kids aren't. You president has sold their security off so he could give his buddies and contributors big tax cuts which have done nuthin' but make the US governement beggers to the *loan sharks* of the international community, i.e. China... Does this make you proud, mary garvey? Maybe you can stick another yellow "Support Out Troops" on the back of yer SUV to compensate.... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: mg Date: 22 Feb 05 - 09:49 PM White guys don't scare me and I don't revere them and I don't cowtow to them. I have yet to have a single one try to even boss me around much less exploit me etc. (But of course I respect those who are respectable). If 51% of the voters of each state don't want white guy politics they can vote for someone else. I think we might see that happen really soon. And there are probably more than 51% voters in each state who are female alone -- well, maybe not Alaska. mg |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Little Hawk Date: 22 Feb 05 - 07:13 PM Okay. Let me just interject a wee note of sanity here. Ahem... The real reason that Condoleeza Rice lies...sometimes...is that William Shatner rejected her once. That's right! He did. She wanted to go out with him once, back in the 80's, and he gave her the brush-off! She was devastated. She has been acting out her emotional pain ever since by doing things like lying about Iraqi WMD's and stuff of that sort. It's emotional compensation for a badly bruised ego, and we should all have some compassion and understanding for it. This sort of thing can happen to anyone. You or I could get rejected by someone we held in the highest esteem...as Condi did Shatner...and have the same thing happen. Ms Rice is suffering the disadvantage of being in a high profile job which draws an unusual amount of attention to her emotional acting out of her pain, that's all. You can see the tension in her face and body language. This lady has had her heart badly bruised! Now, in William Shatner's defence, I only want to say that he was under severe pressure at the time and was very busy, since Stevie Nicks was also interested in him at that very same time! What could he do? He's human, after all. (Unlike Spock.) He can only handle so much at any given time. He opted for Stevie, and that was that. It's most unfortunate, really. Given better timing, things could have worked out for Condi and Shatner, and she would not now be lying to the American people and Congress. But...that's the way the cookie crumbles. So, give her a break, eh? ;-) |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Bobert Date: 22 Feb 05 - 06:58 PM First of all, Dougie, I know my way around a dojo, so neither House Negro Condi of House Negro Colin scare me in the slightest. If either ot both of 'um make a move toward me you'll be helping them up off the floor. No brag. Just fact. Secondly, if they were standing right here, right now in front of me, yeah, I'd confront 'um. They are House Negros. Study a little "History of the South". I took it in college. And that was in Richmond, Va., the capitol of the Confederacy. C & C are very much House Negros in that they do the massa's bidding... They are not folks in power but probably less powerful than the average guy on the street since they have both sold out to whitey... That's what House Negros do... Sell out... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: DougR Date: 22 Feb 05 - 06:36 PM Fatigue (she reportedly works long, long hours daily). Bobert: you are so full of it! "... highly unlikely that a person of color will ever rise to power." DUH! Ever heard of the lady who is the subject of this thread? Colin Powell? I guess in West Virginia the office of Secretary of State is not a position of power, eh? By the way, if you ever decide to call either of them a "House Negro" to their face, I sure want to be there to see it. I might even help pick you up off the floor! I said "might" mind you. DougR |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Bobert Date: 22 Feb 05 - 08:28 AM In a world dominiated by *white guys* it's highly unlikely that a person of color will ever rise to power. Whitey jus' has the deck stacked against that ever occuring. Oh sure, he'll promote lots of folks to the position of "House Negro" but you can be sure that these folks won't get any higher than that position, Condi being Exhibit A... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: dianavan Date: 21 Feb 05 - 11:55 PM Thanks Donuel - That says it all. ...and thanks to all of you who have had the courage to speak about racism. Sometimes it has to be discussed and Condi has given us the opportunity to express our thoughts. Lets hope that the next person of colour that rises to power is a better example. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 07:46 PM Thank you, Bruce for your explanation. And Carol C, I appreciated your post. and thanks Donuel for that link to that drawing. IMO, that humor was needed at this point. It gave us a respite from these heavy duty issues which certainly need consideration and study but IMO not all the time. I'm sure more light drawings such as that one will be needed in the future. So have a supply ready! Best wishes, Azizi |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Peace Date: 21 Feb 05 - 06:44 PM Sorry. In So Far As I Am Concerned. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 06:42 PM Bruce, I have shared that by virtue of my socialization, I do consider Condi {or anyone's} race and gender might be a greater or lesser factor in how she and other's see herself [her or anyone else' group identity.} That is not how I want it to be.But I think it is how it is at this point in time. And all over the world more and more people are rising above things that limit them and determine who they are close to or have most in common with -things like race and ethnicity, and gender and nationality. The Internet is one way this is coming to pass. And I say this is all good. However, that does not mean that we have reached the time when race and ethnicity -and gender- are unimportant descriptors to the majority of people. I think that they still exert an influence. Apparently, you don't. That notwithstanding, we both agree that Condi is a less than admirable person [which is the understatement of the century]. You said that you 'don't want to qualify her as a less-than-admirable-Black person of the female gender.' I'm not asking YOU to do that. However I stand by my statement. I would be greatly disappointed-and greatly limit myself-if I thought that everyone on Mudcat and everyone in the world has to think EXACTLY the same in order to be courteous and even friends with each other. It seems to me it's HOW people disagree that is important [and yes sometimes it's WHAT they disagree about]. But as it seems you've already realized, I agree with your basic position about Condi Rice. And, Bruce, sorry but I don't know what "ISFAIAC" means. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: CarolC Date: 21 Feb 05 - 06:39 PM You're not silly at all, Azizi. I think it's possible that Ms. Rice tells herself (so as to perhaps sleep better at night) that she is helping people with backgrounds similar to hers by getting into the positions of power she has been holding and that she holds now... that by getting into these positions, she is helping to raise the glass ceiling for such people. At least I think that when I'm feeling generous. On the other hand, I am reminded of something a guy said to Michael Moore in F. 9/11. Moore was being assisted by an African American serviceman (I believe he was a Marine). This man had already served one tour of duty in the Middle East. The military wanted to send him back there, but he refused to go, saying, "I refuse to go back over there and kill other poor people". He may have stood to gain something by going back (or he probably had something to lose by not going back), but his sense of honor and of right and wrong superceded his sense of self-interest. I have a lot of respect for that man, and maybe that is the sentiment that Azizi and dianavan are trying to get across as being missing from their estimation of C. Rice. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Peace Date: 21 Feb 05 - 06:15 PM So that then makes her a less-than-admirable person. I don't want to qualify her as a less-than-admirable-Black person of the female gender. She fits right in with the Neocons--and that's that ISFAIAC. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 06:06 PM Because you sincerely asked, here is my response: I believe that people have a personal identity and group identities. The personal identity is the person's name and physical characteristics as well as his/her interests & aptitudes [for instance John Doe is a man who is good at football} The group identity includes the person's immediate family, extended family, region, state, nation, And group identity also refers to the person's ethnicity and race.. All of these identities may influence each other. Some may be more important to the person at any given time. And some may take on tremendous importance rightly or wrongly throughout the person's entire life. [for instance John Doe's great-great grandfather was the founding father of a particular town, and owned the town's only insdustry..John Doe is British and can trace his ancestry to the Duke of So and So..} John Doe's attitude toward himself will be influenced by all of this and by how people treat him because of these things. With regard to Condi Rice, I believe that she has been largely shaped by the choices she made-Free will. Yet I do believe that to some greater or lesser extent she has been influenced by her race and her gender-and peoples reactions and responses to them. I believe Condi is a politician who has turned her back on THE GOOD. I think that she is part of one of the most repressive administrations in US history- one that is doing so much harm to the world-and not just in the Middle East. I believe that her race and gender has less to do with Condi's actions than her self-interest and lust for power. Yet I also believe that she has turned her back on the oppressed people of the world-and a great many of those oppressed people are people of color. I was raised with the-admittedly simplistic and unrealistic view-that all African Americans were family. And family members were supposed to offer aid and comfort and a helping hand to other family members..I might add that experience has been a difficult teacher for me-as I acted on this philosophy in the real world and found out that many Black people don't live by it and think nothing about stabbing anyone Black White or Green in the back and in the heart. So that is why I'm doubly disappointed in Condi Rice [and maybe triply disappointed since she is a woman as I am, but I wasn't raised with to have the expectation that women would help each other- I was raised with that tenet about Black peopel.] I guess I am the idealist here..Like Rodney King, I want everyone to get along.. I want race and ethnicity to be value-less descriptors. And I want everyone on Mudcat to be friends regardless of the positions they take on controversial issues. Silly me. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Peace Date: 21 Feb 05 - 05:03 PM "I would prefer the world to be as you idealize it.. but it ain't necessarily so." I don't know that I idealize the world. I simply refuse to factor Condi's race into the equation, that's all. I won't factor her gender in, either. That kinda thing just sounds like excuses to me. I am unclear as to where you stand with regard to C. Rice. First she's a sista sista, is that right? But wait--then isn't she a sista sista working for herself? And doesn't that then make her a Condi Condi instead? |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: GUEST,Frank Date: 21 Feb 05 - 03:55 PM It is the height of racism to assume that because Condi is Sec. of State and black that she is immune to criticism. She lies. She is supporting the most ruthless regime in the history of American politics by the Bushnik Neocon cult. Seymour Hersh of the New Yorker magazine has much to say about the state of our government, the lack of news media reportage, the total inability of those who dissent to even be tolerated by the Bushniks, the lockstep followers of the Neocon cult and the American public who are not privy to any decent or useful information about what is really going on in Iraq. The Baathist regime and the Nationals are so powerful there that the rate of American and Iraqi deaths are increasing exponentially each month. It was originally thought that Bush had won the war but what he didn't realize is that Baghdad was taken easilly for a reason. The guerilla warriors were fighting their war at their convenient time, not Bush's. Even the well-touted election has overtones of fraud and manipulation by the American Government. The well-intentioned Iraqi people are being exploited. Not many know that Allawi was a Baathist who may be pulling the rug out from the US. We know who Chalabi is and if he wins, you can be sure that the election was rigged. Even at that, how can you have an election that means anything at the point of a gun? Bush doesn't care about the bodybags and the brain damaged. The real amount of American casualties are unreported by the press. And we don't know the extent of the torture or the war crimes committed against innocent women and children either. You're not going to find that in the US papers or media. Do you honestly think that Condi or Bush will make a dent in the policies toward Iraq of the US former allies? They will be all too glad to see the dollar devalued and watch for the next step... petro-Euros. Condi is a symbol for all of this and she is being used by the Bushniks but doesn't know it. Frank |

From: Azizi Date: 21 Feb 05 - 12:17 PM To all the White people who may be wearing rose colored glasses as they work to make the world a place where race & ethnicity truly will become valueless descriptions- thanks for your idealized view of what the world is. But because you are not a person of color living in a world that still devalues people of color because of their group identities, please don't think you know what I or other people of color think or feel. Needless to say you can speculate all you wish, but in this instance white is not necessarily right. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Ebbie Date: 21 Feb 05 - 12:07 PM And what kind of role model did Shirley Chisholm serve as? No neo-con, she. I repeat: Condoleeza Rice is a bright woman who has gone far- in the wrong direction. And it is because she has serious lacks inside herself, not because she is black. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: dianavan Date: 21 Feb 05 - 11:44 AM I will try to explain this again. The problem with Condi being a black woman in a position of power and authority is that the model she provides to others is that the only way to get there is to serve the Neo Con agenda. It makes no difference to the White majority if she is Black or White but to women of colour she is a big disappointment. In other words, the only way to rise to the top is to kiss butt and deny your cultural heritage. Condi is a bright woman who could have used her brains to serve the people but she has chosen to serve the Master. This is a common problem for minority peoples. Once you are educated, your assimilation is so complete that you have more in common with the oppressive, ruling class than you do with your own people. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Ebbie Date: 21 Feb 05 - 12:54 AM That is my contention too, brucie. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Peace Date: 20 Feb 05 - 11:34 PM If Condi were White, would most people have difficulty perceiving her to be a Neocon mouthpiece pandering to the Washington leadership? Spouting the Party Line? I doubt it. Her colour has little to do with her seeming dishonesty, IMO. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Ebbie Date: 20 Feb 05 - 11:30 PM Smarten up? See, I still see noting that she is black as being beside the point. If being black is part of the equation, I think that's an admirable part. It's not easy having to prove oneself every step of the way. It's difficult to do when one is a woman; being a black woman has to be harder. Colin Powell is black but I don't know how hard it was for him, as a man, to make it to the top. I should think that the part that was hard for him as a black man was proving himself in the military, rather than in politics. Nope. I think Condoleeza Rice's problem is not her blackness; it is something that she lacks inside herself. Much like her boss. |

Subject: RE: BS: What Makes Condi Lie???... From: Bobert Date: 20 Feb 05 - 09:12 PM I don't consider Condi a "token Negro" but very much a "house Negro", much like the black folk who lived in massa's house and did massa's biddin'... These folks were the cruelest folks on the plantations... Yeah, some of you may remember them as "overseers" and that is what they were called in those days. They were probably good people who were turned bad... I don't know... But they were no friend of the slaves, that much is fir certain... I consider Condi squarely in the "house Negro" category. No racism here... Just fact... Condi Rice would be no safer in some of the nieghborhoods I know down in D.C. than Bush, Boss Hog or George Wallace, fir that matter... Bobert |
