She's right you know.

“When you start wiping out your history, sanitizing your history, to make you feel better, it’s a bad thing,” says former secretary of state
quote:
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appeared on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning and criticized efforts to tear down monuments to historical figures who owned slaves.
quote:
Kilmeade asked, “As an African-American woman, do you see yourself in this constitution? Do you think that, when we look at nine of our first twelve presidents as slave owners, should we start taking their statues down and say, we’re embarrassed by you?”
“I’m a firm believer in keep your history before you,” Rice answered. “And so, I don’t actually want to rename things that were named for slave owners. I want us to have to look at these names and recognize that they did.”
She's right you know.

She is horrible. Incompetent lying bitch.

this is similar to the argument about "hate speech"
you WANT those assholes in the public view for all to see. pushing them into the shadows is how you turn them into a real threat to society
"sanitizing history" just keeps everyone ignorant of actual history and the lessons we are to learn from it

She is dead right, cleansing history and ignoring it leads to repeating it.

I agree we shouldn't take down monuments of individuals who were vital to the American experiment just because they owned slaves.
In the New Orleans monuments case, it's not that they owned slaves, it's that they were traitors trying to preserve the institution.

And yet by doing so they became vital to the American experiment. The Civil War made us stronger as a nation and enabled us to become the most powerful nation this world has ever seen less than 100 years later.

I think she has gotten even better since parting ways with the Bush family.

She's right of course. Liberals are champions at rewriting history. It's just part of the liberal progressive modus operandi.

For many out there advocating sanitization, that's the point.

Condi Rice: Here’s Your 9/11 Smoking Gun
By Kristen Breitweiser
Dear Condi:
I’m going to keep this really simple.
In response to your comment that you could personally “plead guilty” to not having imagined terrorists would use passenger aircraft as weapons?please stop lying.
As proof, I provide the “Iron Man” documents from the Asymmetrical Threats Division of Joint Forces Intelligence Command (JFIC), also known as DO5, whose task it was to track UBL from mid 1998-mid 2001.
I would first note that you were National Security Advisor to the President of the United States — that means that you had pretty much access to anything and everything available regarding terrorist threats from groups like Al Qaeda.
Fourteen years later, everyone now knows about the summer of 2001 and the more than one dozen intelligence reports blinking red about an impending Al Qaeda terrorist attack. There was the August 6 PDB, FAA reports, CIA reports, DoD reports, and FBI reports — all indicating and discussing terrorist cells inside the US planning attacks inside the US.
What most people don’t know about is the smoking gun report from JFIC, DO5.
According to the report written in the summer of 2000: “The WMD Threat to the U.S.” (information cut off date 16 July 2000) the briefing slides emphasized that NYC was the most difficult consequence management problem and recommended using NYC as the model for planning/exercises. The oral briefing itself was much more sensitive, indicating that the World Trade Centers #1 and #2 were the most likely buildings to be attacked in the U.S., followed closely by the Pentagon. The briefer indicated that the worst case scenario would be one Tower collapsed onto the other. The possibility of striking the buildings with a plane may have been discussed then — it was certainly discussed in the Red Cell Analysis leading up to the briefing period. The acting Deputy of DO5 (name redacted), proposed in the Red Cell Analysis that the building could be struck by a jetliner. Discussion followed on contacting World Trade Center security and engineering/architectural staff, but the idea was not further explored because of a command climate discouraging contact with the civilian community.
So please Ms. Rice — with all due respect — stand down and stop spouting lies like, “The idea the president of the United States was warned that Al-Qaeda was going to attack the United States and did nothing about it. Really? Do you think any president of the United States, if he had even an inkling there was going to be an attack, they wouldn’t have moved heaven and earth to try to stop it?”

After National Security Adviser Rice testified to the 9/11 Commission that no one ever thought about using aircraft as bombs it was revealed that the planning for the Atlanta Olympics contained that very provision.
She is fricking horrible.

Most likely the 911 memorial is the only one she avoids.

So the dude with a white chick squatting with her legs spread is the authority on what's in a persons heart and mind when they speak on a given topic?
Got it.
Got it.

Obviously, Kilmeade never read Shakespeare.
The evil men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.

Totally agree. Need to put more emphasis on slavery and details of other wonderful deeds committed by our great nation in the curriculums and show what America is really about.
Glad so many agree with Condi!

Very smart woman. If she could shake off the neoconness of Dubya she would be a superb President.

I would vote for her but I was disappointed she is continuing the erroneous belief that at the time of slavery black people were considered only 3/5th of a person instead of explaining it was just a compromise to determine each state's representation in the House of Reps.
