Headline:
Rutgers rage against Rice -- why do liberals have so much hate for black conservatives?The Rutgers Leftists are the models for where the toleranti of the west are going: they tolerate any race or gender or nongender or... well, that's about it. They tolerate people who look different so long as they are in lock-think with themselves. Otherwise, an actual freely thinking person is to be silenced, demeaned and gotten rid of. In other words, totalitarians.
"Condoleezza Rice lacks “moral authority.” She fails to meet the standards of “exemplary citizenship” and she does not have what it takes to “inspire” graduating college seniors.
That crazy thinking comes from the New Brunswick Faculty Council of Rutgers University. They voted last week to ask university leadership to cancel Rice’s invitation to be this year’s Commencement Speaker and receive an honorary degree.
How is the public served by muzzling one of the most thoughtful, accomplished and respected political voices of her time just because she happens to be a Republican?
Yes, apparently the first African-American woman to serve as National Security Adviser and the nation’s Secretary of State doesn’t have what it takes to be honored by Rutgers.
Rice holds a Ph.D. in political science. She has taught college for decades. She was Provost of Stanford University. She worked her way up from a working-class family in the segregated South to the highest echelon of world power and politics.
But according to the Rutgers faculty council, all of that is negated by her service in President George W. Bush’s administration."

If "The Fonz" is worthy of an honorary degree, surely Ms. Rice is!
We all know that you're not really "black" if you vote or associate with Republican politics and that, therefore, you are not entitled to the same kind of racial protections as black democrats. A black republican is, by default, an Uncle Tom who has traded his or her racial identity away for the acceptance of the white establishment. I doubt that Ms. Rice would even be saved from this ignominious treatment if she were a lesbian, though it could surely only help her cause.
