If Condolezza Rice wants to join a white sorr. If she wants to go to thier churches, whatever, that's on her. I really don't care. We spend way too much time demonizing each other, becuase we have different viewpoints.

Black is a state of being, not a philosopy, or an ideology. Either you are black or you are not (Period) Nothing that she does can change the fact that she is black, and I don't recall hearing her say that she was anything other than a proud African American. Regardless of her views.

As far as being a "sell-out" or a "Tom" whatever term that is used. I try my best not to use it. I don't agree with everything that the democrats do or think. But I vote Democratic because they tend to be with me on most of the issues. But if I find a Republican who shares my views I am going to vote for him/her, and F^&K what anyone thinks. Rainman, why should you even ask anyone for validation? Validate yourself. If I want to move to the burbs, then I will move to the burbs. If you don't pay my rent, then you have no say on where or how I live.

The realy sad part is that I believe we have been so brainwashed that we fail sometimes to look at things through our own eyes, and not through the lenses of what our current "Black Leadership" thinks. I got mad luv for Jesse and the other "Media/Self" appointed black leadership, but I believe that they tend to speak for a smaller population than they use to.

Sunshine14, No one can tell you how to view these people. I personally believe in live and let live. I can disagree with my brothers and sisters who are in the Republican Party on issues. I don't have to resort to calling folks names. That's childish, and I am far from childhood.
