[QUOTE="ajblakejr, post: 586820, member: 18807"] [B]Condoleezza Rice[/B] Words can not express how much respect I have for this woman. I am often asked to name a few female role models. Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher and Margaret Wheatley All these women are my role models. My list is often answered with a stare. It seems that people wait for me to say, "Oprah." As a woman, it pains me to say that Condi is viewed as a woman that grew up with privilege and wealth. Is she a "sell-out"? I agree with ups1990. [B][I]The enemy is us.[/I][/B] I am a Caucasian Woman. [B][I]I am not here to argue politics. I am here to point out that many people are guilty of what ups1990 posted.[/I][/B] And Condi is privileged. She grew up with a strong family and strong values during a violent time. And Condi is wealthy. I would enjoy inviting her for Sunday Brunch and NFL football. Her experience and knowledge would take my mental bank account over the FDIC limit for deposit protection. Take a moment and learn about this incredible woman. Why isn't this woman of color a role model for all women? [/QUOTE]
