[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well cornball negro above you really do have issues. I am nine of Fifteen on your list. LOL, and I have never had a problem in my community of Black friends, families, and colleagues. I also have not had a problem among my white friends and colleagues. You my dear have serious issues within yourself. Stop blaming others for your weaknesses.

Live long and stop self hating. [/quote]

+1000.  I meet 8 of that criteria and I have friends who meet even more.  And none of us have issues with having our blackness questioned.  The diversity of African Americans in DC is my favorite thing about the city.  Just the other day I had a long conversation with an older black woman on metro about our love of star Trek when she noticed an item I was carrying.  That would never happen where I grew up.  If you live in DC and can't see how evident it is that blacks are NOT a monolithic group, then I'd also say the majority of the problem lies with you.[/quote]

PP, I'll never forget sharing fries early on in Bush 2 (pre- war on terror; the administration was just setting itself up) with a couple of AA women friends.  When I mentioned Condoleeza Rice's ascendency to power they acted as if the she-devil had entered the room.   Condoleeza Rice has always struck me as an extremely accomplished woman who has a lot to be proud of.  Now way was I going to mention that over fries... Not only the level of hatred but also the qualitative nature of the hatred (not based on her opposing views but she was a sell-out etc.) quelled discussion. As a non AA I would not be 'banished', but it could have meant the end of a friendship I cherished.   Is that the diversity you  mean?[/quote]

Your comment might have been interpreted the same as when a white person says to a black person ," you know I really like Bark Obama...he's so well spoken" As in, " I see  Condaleeza Rice has been selected as National Security advisor....see a black woman HAS BEEN been appointed "

Sure, that's why I didn't say anything.    Nobody wanted to get into the accomplished pianist, civil rights history, Stanford, football afficionado, great taste in boots, or differing political views.
