Kept safely hidden away inside the house, studying her school lessons and practicing those classical pieces on the piano, wearing lace-trimmed dresses and learning to be a proper lady and all - while everyone else of color in her town lived in total, constant fear as dished out by the ignorant white folks.
She knew children who were killed by the KKK, or at least wannabe Klansmen.
Condoleezza's parents built a protective barrier around her to keep the evils of the real world out. Now, she's risen to one of the most powerful positions on the World stage, but that protective barrier still encompasses her, making her grossly inadequate for and wholly unprepared to do the job.
Like her rich, white male cohorts, there is never a visible sign of compassion or concern on Condi's face, in her eyes or the timbre of her voice when the subject includes death and destruction. She comes across as every bit the thug each one of them is. It could be Condi's even more cold, calculating and cruel than they.
Would it have been acceptable under any other executive for the Security Adviser to ignore a document warning of an imminent attack on our Nation by terrorists using hijacked aircraft as weapons? Not if there was more to the "attack" than the "official story" has expected us to believe.
Who can forget the woman at the highest echelon of the presidential cabinet who went shopping in Manhattan for four-figure designer shoes, then headed off to be entertained on Broadway at a Monty Python comedy, while New Orleans was being washed away and hundreds of its citizens drowned.
During her tenure as Secretary of State, Ms. Rice has accomplished nothing, unless one regards incurring the wrath of the leaders of our Planetary neighbors as a positive accomplishment.
She lacks the necessary skills to be a diplomatic negotiator. Like her boss, King George XLIII, Condi goes into meetings with her mind already made up as to what the outcome will be - or else.
Worse than that inflexibility, she lacks the warmth and sincerity required to be a true statesperson. One never gets the impression that Condi really quite gets what the human condition is all about.
The more direct impact an issue will have on human beings, the more disingenuous Ms. Rice will be in her comments.
She's so adept at the con even she sometimes forgets where fact ends and fabrication begins. And fact is the smallest portion of anything the woman says.
At first, Condi told the media she wasn't going to go negotiate regarding the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict because she had no idea what to do to resolve the situation. Had she been even remotely near the ballpark where honesty plays its home games, the response would have been that she and the gang didn't wish to break up the fight.
A few days later Condi stated there was no way to stop the Israel-Hezbollah fighting with a long-term solution, so she saw no reason to bother.
After she and our king met with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, who gave Bush a letter from Saudi King Abdullah asking to assist in a ceasefire, Condi finally went on a trip to the Mid-East and Europe. Before leaving, she again ensured there would be no ceasefire.
It had been two weeks since this round of hostilities first erupted.
A ceasefire plan was presented by Syria on Sunday, but rejected by John Bolton, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
