94. She is a sell-out to her race? So whites in power should advance
white causes and blacks black causes? How is this being color-blind and seeing a person for who they are outside of their skin color?

What is she selling out exactly, is it the stated goal of people of a race to get into positions of power and use that to mainly help out others of their race, or should the goal be for all people to help all other people?

If Rush had called someone the same terms he would be labeled as a racist pig on that alone - because we hate him. We like someone, they can use any terms they want?

Is condi a discredit to her race - if so what does that mean, that her race is different than other races and that she has not lived up to some racial creed? Are blacks the only people who can help other blacks, if so then obviously clinton was not able to do anything for blacks because he was white. So if whites in power can help blacks, and blacks in power can help blacks, what difference does it make what condi's race is - she is a government official, a fellow american and human, and her failings are hers as such - her race is immaterial.
