Ok, I heard someone at work say this soon after Clarke came out with it all... "Condoleeza Rice, and Colin Powell for that matter, have slave mentality when it comes to how they serve Bush." (The guy that said this happened to be black by the way.) So, I've been thinking about this for a while... and it is interesting how fiercely loyal they are to bush, even when it seems to damage their credibility. I think Bush has really exploited CR's little "double minority" status too. I want to hear other people's interpretations of my coworker's comment...

Sounds like bollocks to me ...

I dont understand why some folks think blacks cant be wealthy conservative republicans ...

Condi and Colin are serving their president ... if they were white would this 'slave mentality' thing even be imagined?

No.

Its not them who are falling back on teh slave days, its your co-worker and his being black doesnt make him any less ignorant.

What else would one expect from the people that are in Condi and Colins positions?

Of course they serve him, THEY WORK FOR HIM. Anyone who tells you that condi rice or colin powell are "house slaves" is either ignorant or a race baiter.

I think Con-Rice has an oil tanker mentality. If you can call it a 'mental' anything.

The whole slave thing is a bunch of garbage. It's simply not accurate.

I do not like her, agree with her, or find her to be a responsible national security advisor, though.

It's simple corruption. Nothing so exotic as slave mentality, just rich selfish assholes serving a richer selfish asshole.

IMO, whoever said that is a complete idiot and is possibly a racist themselves (racists can be of any color) Condoleeza Rice and Colin Powell did not attain some of the highest positions in the U.S. government because they had a "slave mentality" or were "uncle toms" nor are they "token N*****", they got there because they actively put forth the personal effort to achieve those positions and somebody felt they were competent enough to serve in that capacity.

Black, white, Hispanic (or any other race) it doesn't matter- I believe they would react the same.

I agree, the comment made by that man is ignorant and uncalled for. Just because they are black republicans, does not mean they have the slave mentality. People like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton has poisoned there mind into accepting this monolithic ideology of blacks.

It's funny he'd say that Colin Powell has a slave mentality when Colin Powell is a firm believer in the usefulness of affirmative action.
