Bull.
>>>"She joined the Republican party because they are always looking for uncle Toms' like Clarence Thomas to exploit so she could rise fast.
She was highly accomplished and successful, having nothing to do with political affiliation, long before she was called upon by Washington. Working, humbly, quietly, and honorably in public service has brought her nothing but but ridicule from people like you, which she has born gracefully at every turn.
A woman more accomplished in the American system than any of her time or before her. A black woman striving against institutionalized racism on the one hand and leftwing racist attacks on the other, who succeeded against tremendous odds, and who struggled against doltish obstacles, often going above and beyond the call of duty the entire way in order to make positive improvements. You know nothing about the woman if you think she exploited opportunity. She fought against the powers that be and popular sentiment and fought hard to do the changes needed to rescue Stanford from bankruptcy as a Provost, again resulting in no fame just consternation from the public. A woman who moves on, playing piano at a top ranked level world wide, helping to develope community centers for youth, all while continuing her serious academic work at the University. A person who did not submit to being caste into stereotyping, racist, pigeon holes. Someone all of us should be holding up as a role model. ...and now for the sake of partisan loyalty you are proudly engaging in character assassination. tsk
You lose every smidgeon of credibility and integrity when you launch such a dishonorable attack. You owe her a heartfelt apology. |
