Rice cultivated relations with every pro-U.S. warlord in Africa. She was especially close to Meles Zenawi, the deceased former leader of the dictatorial Ethiopian regime that invaded Somalia with the full support of U.S. air, ground and sea power in December of 2006, ousting a moderate Islamic Courts government that had brought a brief period of peace to the country. The Somali war, now effectively run by the CIA, has engulfed the Horn of Africa - another bloody feather in Susan Rice's cap.
When Rice was a candidate for secretary of state under President Obama in 2012, the entirety of the Black Misleadership Class circled their wagons around her, to counter Republican claims that Rice was to blame for the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya by U.S.-backed jihadists. Ignoring Rice's and Obama's crimes against Africans, Black American politicos rallied to Rice's defense as a "a role model to all women" who "represents a rich and important legacy of strong women leaders in foreign policy." Twelve female members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including anti-war icon Barbara Lee, offered Rice their sisterly support. "We will not allow a brilliant public servant's record to be mugged to cut off her consideration to be secretary of state," said DC congressional delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton.
"The Black Misleadership Class circled their wagons around her."
None of Rice's Black boosters gave a thought to her culpability in the ongoing terror in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where a 2011 study estimated that "nearly two million women have been raped"with women victimized at a rate of nearly one every minute." (See Black Agenda Report, "The Shameless Vacuity of Susan Rice's Boosters," Dec 5, 2012.)
Rice's bid for the top State Department job was frustrated in 2012, but she's once again shamelessly campaigning for the office, reportedly with the backing of Obama. The Black Misleadership Class - eternally full of themselves - puts forth the worst possible image of Black America to the rest of the world, with not a iota of embarrassment. Having "arrived" at positions of influence in the belly of the beast, they strut about like any other variety of "ugly Americans" who want nothing more than to be full citizens of empire - humanity, including Africa, be damned.
