The First Black Woman National Security Director was Condoleeza Rice.

She was ALSO the first Black Woman Secretary of State. (Technically she was not only the first woman, she was also the first BLACK woman in both posts. Something to note.)

Condoleeza Rice was the person who implemented (with the administrations blessing) the first academic programs at high-end private and federally funded schools that required minority acceptance minimums. (Think "Affirmative Action" for college).

Now... Who do you suppose was the fellow and party who recognized Rice's talent and promise? Who gave her the post of NSA Director and later Sec of State and enabled her to contribute so much to black advancement?

Hint, it was NOT Obama. Nor was it the Democratic Party.

In fact, when the Democrats took over, Condoleeza basically retired. She wanted nothing to do with them.

Elfiero, Tibs... Is this thing on? Hello ... Hellooo?
 
I like Condoleezza Rice. I've met Condoleezza Rice. I respect Condoleezza Rice.
 
And as many of you know... I am NOT a W. fan...

So I found this all interesting. I mean it's not really trivia. It's all pretty common and public knowledge. (The trivia part, I suppose is that her birthday is Nov. 14th and we're doing our 2nd trivia night that evening and she is the subject of one of our questions.)

What is interesting is that W., not Obama is the great usherer in of progressivism.

She first worked for the State Department under Carter, but became a republican in 1982. Obama appointed plenty of woman and African Americans to positions in
his administration but most of them tended to be Democrats.
 
Would you throw her the bone?

Yes all of them were socialist morons though.

And he paid them less than the men.
 
I think they call her Stacy Dash
