But, more importantly, you said Sec. Rice did not speak for black people. I mean I assume you still say Sec. Rice does not speak for black people outside of the incorrect soldier argument So, my question is who does speak for black people and what are black issues.

This issue is a pet peeve of mine because people have been bludgeoned into assuming such a thing exists and I say it does not outside of the abstract.

I mean womens' issues clearly exist and are clearly defined such as abortion, breast cancer, spousal abuse (the VAST majority is a woman's issue) - child support, etc.

Yet, when we look at black issues, no such exclusivity or quasi exclusivity exists.

not spinning, same message: Condi Rice's mulish defense of this war has a direct impact on the blacks serving in Iraq. As I said, black soldiers are serving in higher concentrations percentage wise than they are represented in the population. (20% as opposed to 13%) why are you not getting that?

But as for specifically "black issues" no one brought that up but you.

also, no one person speaks for all the blacks as I already told you (however I think Martin Luther King came very very close once upon a time)
Has Condi Rice said anything that pertains to the Black population lately? I dont know, all I know is that when you see her in the news, she's busy promoting the agenda of the Vulcans. Well Well. Again, she's made a choice and it doesnt seem to be vital to the welfare of her own people
