Racist cartoons The Independent Women's Forum has denounced as blatantly racist several editorial cartoons featuring Condoleezza Rice, national security adviser and President Bush's nominee for secretary of state. These cartoons clearly draw upon centuries of deep-rooted, wicked and indefensible portrayals of black women, the organization said. "The depiction of Dr. Condoleezza Rice by Jeff Danziger, Pat Oliphant and Garry Trudeau as an ebonics-speaking, big-lipped, black mammy who just loves her 'massa' is a disturbing trend in editorial cartoons," said Michelle D. Bernard, senior vice president of the Independent Women's Forum. "These cartoons take the racism of the liberals who profess respect and adoration for black Americans to a new level. It is revolting." She added: "One must ask, where is the outrage of the nation's civil rights leadership, feminist organizations, and the so-called liberals who only seem to embrace black America in election years?"
