Rice Pudding

A radio talk show host in Wisconsin called Condoleezza Rice "Aunt Jemima".

Let's look at this in further detail. Aunt Jemima was used by white men to sell pancake mix. Condoleezza Rice is used by white men to sell bullshit. Which would you buy?

Okay, we all know that the image of Aunt Jemima has negative connotations; being a stereotypical docile servant who would do anything to appease her master. And then there is Rice, anything but stereotypical, but still in the business of pleasing her master-- at any cost.

There are people out there who feel that this is a sign of progress. Ostensibly, it seems that the Bush cabal is a friend of the "minority." After all, she is the first African-American woman to be nominated for the third-highest seat in the nation. There's got to be power in that, right?

But dig deeper. Although it's easy to be fooled by what seems like forward motion, everything is not what it seems.

We must ask the question: Who really pulls the strings?

Do you know the history of the real Aunt Jemima? In summary, white men needed a novel way to sell their product, and employed a bright, articulate black woman to do it. This is no difference from what they're doing now.

But whatever they're selling, I ain't buying!

I don't care if it's pancakes, pudding pops or propaganda. Most of what they tell us is pure bullshit...

And if it doesn't fit, you must acquit!

Why do you think Colin Powell resigned? Forget the media hype. Why do you think he actually threw in the towel? Despite his prestige and expertise as a war strategist, the Bush Administration would not listen to him. Why? Because they had their own agenda from the start, and it didn't matter what anyone else said.

Colin Powell was treated like a non-entity. More specifically, he was treated like a prostitute. They sent him to the United Nations to do the dirty work of spreading the now infamous lies of weapons of mass destruction. After that, his credibility was shot.

Am I offended that a white man compared Condoleezza Rice, a genius, to Aunt Jemima? In this case, I couldn't have said it better myself.

All that brain power gone to waste. What an utter disgrace!

Condoleezza Rice left the academic world- as former Stanford University Provost- to help create a more twisted world. For what? Power and greed? Please don't tell me she wanted to serve her country. My response to that would be...

See my previous post, "The Toilet Bowl."

But please, let us agree to one non-negotiable rule: Never sell your soul!

And let us never forget that a mind is a terrible thing to waste. With all that intelligence, you would think Dr. Rice would choose to help build bridges to a glorious future. Instead, she's helping to destroy them. Is the lust for power that serious?

Fuck it! President Bush can have her, along with his scrambled politricks and gritty foreign policy! I just hope she's not serving his breakfast too.
