I think the use of Uncle Tom is inappropriate. There is no evidence the Bush Administration, though loathesome, is in any way a horribly or comparatively racist regime I mean I hate their policies, think they are inept, etc. - but that hardly means Sec. Rice is working with people who openly or in effect hate black people

Perhaps you are using Uncle Tom because you think any black person who is not a D is a de facto Uncle Tom. I just do not see it that way.

She is incapable of speaking for herself or doing the right thing or taking responsibility for her own actions!

Maybe you can think of a better term to describe someone who is not only working against the best interests of this country but has apparently forgotten her own roots and seems to be doing her best to blend into the Good Old Boys enclave

Merriam Webster defines "Uncle Tom" as --

Main Entry: 1Uncle Tom
Pronunciation: -'täm
Function: noun

Etymology: Uncle Tom, pious and faithful black slave in Uncle Tom's Cabin (1851-52) by Harriet Beecher Stowe

1 : a black who is overeager to win the approval of whites (as by obsequious behavior or uncritical acceptance of white values and goals)

2 : a member of a low-status group who is overly subservient to or cooperative with authority
_________________________________________________________

Sec. Rice fulfills none of those criteria. So, the use of that term, though visually interesting, is incorrect.

I suggest a more appropriate adjective would be a dangerously incorrect woman with a deliberately incorrect view of how to handle the global threat of terrorism.

Strand...why do you feel compelled to stir this pot?

Because it urks me when people use that term incorrectly. Sec. Rice is in no way seeking approval from white people. Rather, she is far more sinister and dangerous in that she does what she does because she truly believes she is doing the right thing

I hate everything she stands for..I dont care what color her skin is. It is not a race issue! I think she is a MORAL SELLOUT!

BINGO - but that is not the same as an Uncle Tom. Again, she is not overeager to please whitie. You just used the wrong word. No big deal.

Last time I checked, every freakin single high ranking war-mongering ASSWIPE in Monkey Boy's cabinet is W.H.I.T.E. and she is MOST CERTAINLY futhering the goals of those DAMN White Men!! She's smart, tho, I'll hand ya that....she's at least chosen to cast her lot with the most powerful white men in the country. I guess if yer gonna be a sell out, at least sell out to the top right?

Nice try - but Powell was and is black as are many of the top brass in the military. Also, I get that you rather detest white men as they have the power, but they do and in this instance it is more happenstance than her deliberate attempt to appease them merely because they are white, etc. If you have proof to the contrary, let's see it.

I disagree, I think Rice is a "black" sock puppet for this Administration, and I think she has incontrovertably demonstrated her willingness to cooperate (overly subservient?? you BETCHA!!!) with this warmongering group to the degree that she will LIE to the media, to the American people without flinching. She is a sociopath. She has sold out her people (who I would bet money are disproportionately represented in the fighting forces) and sold out this country.

this: "uncritical acceptance of white values and goals" is the new definition of Condi Rice. as of now.

So, she is seeking approval of whitie? No facts suggest or indicate that. Also, who are her people she sold out? It urks me to no end when people think all black people must think the same, be the same, represent each other, etc. Do you realize how racist that is? Finally, I get that you hate W, the war, etc. - but how is that being overeager to please whitie?
