So wait a minute.

In your eyes, you're labeled a racist if you disagree with Obama.

But aren't you doing that same exact thing here? People disagree with Rice, and you assume they're racists?

The protests were guided at her involvement in the Iraq War. Where the hell does race factor in?

BINGO!!! That's what people on the right have been saying all along! But according to liberals, you cannot disagree with Obama without doing so because of his race. So, I am just playing it the other way. If liberals disagree with black conservatives, it must be because they are racist -- that's what the left says. In truth, these so-called academics have placed no pressure on figures of the left that have continued the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. So, their singling out of Condi Rice is probably race related....what else could it be?

"The Left". You keep saying "The Left".

I'm part of the "left". I don't think anyone who disagrees with Obama is a racist. Hell, I think Obama is one of the worst presidents in recent history.

I think Conservatives have thrown out this defense of a phantom accusation. I rarely see conservatives accused of racism because they disagree with Obama.
Yet, every single crime I see on this board is black on white. Why is that?

I mean this in the best possible way, but maybe you are sleeping through the news. Let me take a few issues and highlight what the left says about disagreeing with Obama and race.

Remember when Joe Wilson shouted out "you lie" to Obama when he said illegals would not be covered by Obamacare? Go to google and type in "joe Wilson you lie racist". You will pull up tons of articles from the WaPost, NYTimes, HuffPost, liberal UK papaers, CNN, MSNBC, Jimmy Carter, etc....about how he was racist for saying that.

You recently had AG Holder speak at the NAACP about how he thought he and Obama were scrutinized due to race.

There was the racial comment that never was during the stupid march to sign the Obamacare bill.

There was Melissa Harris-Perry talking about how Obamacare was a word created by rich white guys to demean Obama because he's black.

Not to mention the many liberals (like Harry Reid and Chuck Shumer) that go around calling Tea Party members racist because they disagree with Obama.

Not to mention Chris Matthews and Al Sharpton cannot talk about conservatives without calling them racist or saying their disagreements have to do with Obama's skin color.

I can keep going ....

I don't sleep through news. I sleep through propaganda and soundbites. From both sides.

How many white on black crimes have you posted about?


IMO a criminal is a criminal. But as someone with over 25 years in the public safety field you are more likely to see black on black, white on white, or black on white crime than white on black crime. Since I guess in your eyes that makes me a racist go ahead and post the white on black crimes. Knock yourself out.

RE: Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement
I also don't think this is about racism or blah, blah, blah. People just aren't fond of the Iraq war or anyone from that cabinet with the exception of Powell, maybe. I'm pretty sure Rumsfeld or Cheney wouldn't be too well received either, while HW Bush would be given the chance.

Notre Dame openly protested Obama being there a year or so ago and there was ZERO ruckus here about it. I guess this is where the mentality of sports and politics aren't too different. There are no complaints until your team is the one being "wronged".

From what I remember, the hubbub about her appearance was that her popularity was causing too many people wanting to attend thus leaving less seats for family members of the graduates. Then there's all the other BS that goes on when of person of her stature attends these things. She wasn't protested out of the event.

I wouldn't suggest that. It only emboldens them. I've done it.

I think it's funny that on a black crime all the posters have no problems saying that the criminal is black but on one featuring a white person, nobody wants to claim him.

The thread with the kid who stabbed those 20 kids didn't mention the word white once. Neither did things like the Aurora shooting.

There's plenty of white scum out there. Plenty.

RE: Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement
I am tired of the race card being brought up anytime a person disagrees with a leftist black person. That needs to stop. There is absolutely no evidence of this so-called racism when it comes to these leaders from conservatives, the GOP, or the Tea Party. However, when black conservatives are called n**ger and it is recorded, posted, or written, no one comes to their aid to denounce these verifiable instances of liberal racism. I am against racism, wherever it comes from!!! But, I also don't think disagreeing with someone is racism.

RE: Condoleezza Rice backs out of Rutgers commencement
I'm confused... don't get me wrong , I think it was disappointing that the students at Rutgers don't get to hear an articulate, brilliant, strong female.

But this is about the same as Eric Holder backing out of a different commencement speech due to the protests and the attention they would cause.

This is Rutger's loss, not Condoleezza Rice's loss. She was good enough for Stanford, but not Rutgers? lol. Rutgers should do anything it can to get Rice to change her mind.
