Then, Mary insisted and apparently still insists the term Uncle Tom is appropriate here because Sec. Rice works with white men, she considers herself white, and does not speak for black people. I am not asking Mary to explain those statements because I think her prior explanations do not make the use of the term Uncle Tom acceptable.

Also - Mary brought up OJ - and I was responding to that earlier.

I expressed an OPINION that it appears to ME that Condi has forgotten her roots and has so closely aligned herself with the interests of the White Power mongers in office right now that she has lost all touch with her roots. So, if an "Uncle Tom" is a black person who forsakes their culture/roots to cozy up to the White culture............I can totally see Condi Rice satisfying that definition She appears to have gained social acceptance, but on what grounds I am not 100% sure. I know she is a very intelligent and driven woman, and has worked hard to achieve success, but as we all know in this country, the pinnacle of success is reserved for WHITE MEN. True POWER exists only if you are WHITE MALE.
She is surrounded by White men and dutifully parrots their talking points regardless of their truth. I cant imagine a more dedicated cheerleader for the Bush Administration than Condi Rice.

Maybe since I wasnt born in the South I dont have your grasp of the term?
