Black Caucus Urges Bush to Combat Race Gap

" Sadly, they are largely female. "

what exactly is that supposed to mean?

IMO, the more women respect themselves and become successful in school and in the job market, the less inclination to be producing out of wedlock children and hanging on to loser men.....

THAT has got to be not only a good thing, but a GREAT thing, for any race of women....

You have a severe case of class envy and an abject lack of knowledge of what it was like to be a black child in the South,when Dr.Rice was a child.

Neither are you aware of her background.

You're on the wrong site,newbie;go off to DU...they actually love class warfare and MARXISM. We at FR don't.

You are obviously a communists, judging by your statements about the downtrodden working people and the "overpriviledge" Dr. Rice. I don't know what her family history is, but I do know one thing, I have friends who earned their PHDs and didn't have parents to pay their way. Even if she did have rich parents, how does that lessen her accomplishments? What do you propose she should have done, threw away the change to get an education simply because a guy/girl like you can't cut it so you are blaming your misfortune on someone who can? If you are flipping burgers then you should try to be retrained. You can go online and get an AA degree which will give you a start. Costs about 64 bucks a year to do that in CA, and is probably cheaper in other states. Don't whine and cry about the poor downtrodden. I was one of them and managed to do quite well thank you, without the help of the government or my parents. Try Reading some of Condi's life history, it is quite amazing. Apply yourself instead of whining and maybe you could be a pimple on her a** someday.
