I'm not big on conspiracy theories, myself. A lot of factors figured into the founding of this country. Even astrology. Most of the foundling fathers were Masons, but - so what? America's unofficial motto is "in God we trust" and we live by the almighty dollar. They say the "love of money is the root of all evil". I wouldn't know, but many who were poor before they became rich say that "rich is better". Meanwhile, that star spangled banner still waves over the land of the greed and the home of the depraved. Satan on a twenty? Who can deny this country is going to hell.

Black women have never completely written Condoleeza off. We were willing to give credit where credit was due, and appreciated that she wielded a certain amount power, even if we did think it was misguided. It was always black men who berated and debased her during the Bush administration. Could it be that they found her intimidating?

Too bad these legendary bluesmen are not appreciated more by the younger generation of black kids. They don't seem to be in sync with the blues tempo whereas, in the other neglected black music genre, they don't seem attuned to the fast tempo of instrumental jazz. Who will carry on this heritage??? Yeah, black lives matter. But so does the black music that black people originated.

She can be all of those things Harry and still be considered an important person in the Black community. On a different note I wonder if she is still being considered for this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/post-partisan/wp/2014/09/08/condi-rice-the-one-person-who-could-save-the-nfl/ Amazing lady.
