Clutch Magazine: Condi Rice Glosses Over Important Part When She Talks Civil Rights

Former Secretary of State Condozeela Rice addressed the Republican National Convention Wednesday night in a speech that touched on everything from her foreign policy strengths (or weakness depending on who you ask), to social issues. But one of the issues she skiddladdled right by was the Civil Rights movement. Wanting to keep things in that "feel good" mode she spoke as if that leap from segregation to her becoming secretary of state was a glorious lap Americans ran together, rather than a knock down, drag out grudge match that people are still wielding cudgels about today. Never mind the fact that it took sending the National Guard to many states just to enforce the rule of law.

Jim Crow didn't die so much as he was a suicide bomber who tried to take as many folks with him before he finally blew up Alabama, and the scaring was so deep we're still dealing with the consequences today. To paraphrase the film "Magnolia," Rice may be through with the past, but the past isn't through with us.

Gaddafi Had A Crush On Condoleeza Rice

Rebels examine a photo album of former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, which was found in Moammar Gadhafi's Bab al-Aziziya compound in Tripoli, Libya, on August 24. (Photo by Ammar Abd Rabbo / Abaca, via MSNBC) From Mediaite:

On Tuesday afternoon rebels invaded Muammar Gaddafi’s compound, extracting many strange and opulent artifacts that seemed to perfectly symbolize a peculiar dictator (and in some cases donning golden military caps for interviews with Western media.) But one of the strangest items found was a photo album containing images of former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice.

Well, former Secretary of State Condi Rice is kind of adorable in that perky, no nonsense, double-good, minister's daughter kind of way. (Mediaite, MSNBC)

Aretha Franklin and Condi Rice: Together At Last

Aretha Franklin, diva extrondinaire, just told Reuters that she plans on doing a series of concerts for charity, singing arias, featuring none other than former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on piano.

#9. Michelle Obama Still Dresses Better Than You

Still a top post whenever someone keys in the search terms "Michelle Obama and Fashion" and next to TJ Holmes, she's the number one reason many people originally stumbled upon my site.

It's Condi's Party And She Can Be Annoyed If She Wants To (Satire)

Condoleeza Rice just wanted to endure yet another Negroes of North America party where election losses have left everyone bitter and jaded. Just one party and back to her new life of martinis, speeches, book deals and dating "ballers," but first she has to survive the "Party of Doom" where you learn that you keep your enemies far away and your friends even further.

Condi Does Her Own Fierce

A few Black Snob readers sent me this picture of Condoleezza Rice but can anyone tell me where it is from? Either way, I really like her hair. (Hate the clothes, but the hair is awesome.) And are her arms ripped or what?
