1. But it is a racist characterization. There are plenty of ways to describe

... her incompetence, lack of professional credentials, etc.

Might want to choose another.

4. I'm sorry for this.

Dr. Rice is an incompetent, unprofessional, ignorant, secretary of state. Like the other Neocon artists!

I'm sorry I put up this "House" comment in the first place. Forgive me for this. I just hate Bush and co. so much that I forced myself to make decisions I am really not proud of.

7. Well, it's not too late...

to edit it.

[Dangerman]

9. Thanks, in fact...

I took your advice to re-edit my original message.

16. It's ok, don't be sorry

You know, Steve Gilliard uses that phrase all the time on his blog. I keep wondering but never know how to ask why it's ok for him to use it.

2. yes it is

[Kerrytravelers]

3. I don't get it.

5. I think it originally had the "n" word in it?

I don't really like that word at all, even if a person who happens to be a minority is saying it.

10. ooooooooOOOOoooohhhh ding ding ding ding ding ding

I get it now. :think:


Wow.



Malcolm X used the term when describing African-Americans who were continually going along with the racism against them as a way of making peace, rather than stand against it. In his context, it was just the jarring definition needed to grab attention. However, he did later change his tatics and regard for peace and regretted making such blanketed statements.

While I know where your mind was headed (although I certainly do not agree with it's use here), I don't think it is even an accurate description of condi. She is a very powerful and educated woman who made the choice to, in my opinion, act against the interest of America.

Don't let yur anger with * co. manifest itself in such negative ways.

14. I hear the word all the time

I have an African-American foster child (not really fostered anymore, he's 20 now) and he uses the word all the time. And I'm not talking about referring to just black people, he says it to all his friends and my all-so-caucasian family too. It's like a term of endearment. Now I admit I had to chuckle when he said goodbye to my mother with a "peace, ni**a" but most of the time it drives me insane.

6. a Brick House?

not really no - i think of her more like "ol square britches" from the foghorn leghorn cartoons.

8. She's a Brick House...she's the one, the only one...built like an Amazon

Chorus:
She's a brick----house
Mighty might just lettin' it all hang out
She's a brick----house
The lady's stacked and that's a fact,
ain't holding nothing back.

She's a brick----house
She's the one, the only one,
who's built like a amazon
We're together everybody knows,
and here's how the story goes.

She knows she got everything
a woman needs to get a man, yeah.
How can she lose with what she use
36-24-36, what a winning hand!

Chorus

The clothes she wears, the sexy ways,
make an old man wish for younger days
She knows she's built and knows how to please
Sure enough to knock a man to his knees

Chorus

Bridge

Shake it down, shake it down now (repeat)

11. THe singer/songwriter of Brick House's son was on The Real World.

I think it was the Paris house, but I could be wrong. I'd recognize him if I saw him.

[MsTryska]

13. i think i remember him....

quite the ladie's man no? and very wierd all at the same time.

[MsTryska]

15. Is all your base belong to us?

17. Harry Belafonte said this about Colin Powell.

It's OK for the Rethugs to use the race card though. Quite a few of them stated that those against Ms Rice were prejudiced against her because she is black. Oh but for anyone else to state that she was a token black person in the Bush Junta would be awful to mention. I believe that most black people don't support her. It is likely that most black people in Amerika and elsewhere oppose most of Ms. Rice's political views.
