Condoleezza Rice A Total Disgrace to Africans Everywhere

Condoleezza Rice A Disgrace to Africans Everywhere


“Fourteen countries were represented by a plethora of ambassadors when the conference opened in Berlin on November 15, 1884. The countries represented at the time included Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden-Norway (unified from 1814-1905), Turkey, and the United States of America. Of these fourteen nations, France, Germany, Great Britain, and Portugal were the major players in the conference, controlling most of colonial Africa at the time.
The initial task of the conference was to agree that the Congo River and Niger River mouths and basins would be considered neutral and open to trade. Despite its neutrality, part of the Congo Basin became a personal kingdom for Belgium's King Leopold II and under his rule, over half of the region's population died.” http://geography.about.com/cs/politicalgeog/a/berlinconferenc.htm

The other day, I saw an Associated Press photo of Condoleezza Rice with a bunch of white men and one German woman touting their agreement to offer Iran a set of perks and incentives to discontinue its alleged nuclear weapon program and I almost throw up. Really, the photo was that sickening. The thought of this woman, this sock puppet for global white supremacy going around the world bogarting, brow beating and attempting to force sovereign nations like Iran to heel to a fascist NeoCon Zionist agenda is utterly disgusting. The first though that came to my mind when I saw it was, Rice was a sleazy hooker, plying her trade on behalf of her warmongering pimp George W. Bush. But I began thinking about all the inhumane and dastardly consequence of her consorting with a bunch of crackers and I thought about the Berlin Conference of 1884. At that conference a bunch of greedy, blood thirsty white men from Belgium, Denmark, Germany, France, England, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Portugal, Sweden-Norway, Austria-Hungary and the U.S. came together to divide the continent of Africa for themselves ushering in a heightened era of European imperialistic rapine, slaughter, exploitation, human and ecological disruption and devastation. Rice’s trip to Europe was in effect the modern equivalent of that conference, whereby Europeans came together to make the world think these imperialists and warmongers were actually trying to avert war and peacefully resolve a “crisis” they’ve created so they can attack Iran in the first place.
Most people who have been following the rush to attack Iran can readily see the same pattern that was used to rationalize the invasion of Iraq: lies about threats of WMD and links to “international terrorists” are being used against Iran. The problem is that Iran, just like Iraq does not possess nuclear weapon capabilities, but as a signer of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty, Iran has the right to develop non-military nuclear energy programs and facilities. The irony of all this is Israel which is the prime instigator of an attack against Iran has nuclear weapons and is the one country in the region (along with AmeriKKKa outside the region) who would actually use nuclear weapons against it’s neighbors. Every time Israel is brought up before the United Nations as a violator of international nuclear policies and or treaties, the US or Britain comes to their aid by squashing debate or vetoing any resolutions against Israel in the Security Council. The other fact we need to remember is the United States is the first and only nation to actually employ nuclear weapons against civilians. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were not military targets they were bustling Japanese cities! The US bombed millions of innocent Japanese civilians in 1945 in the name of peace!??
Given this reality, given our history at the hands of whites before and after the Berlin Conference of 1884 in Africa and here in the good ol’ U S of A, given the terror and violence visited against Native Americans, Africans and people of color around the world by Europeans in general and the US in particular; does anyone in their right mind think anything good is going to come out of Condoleezza Rice’s recent trip to Europe? For me the really tragic thing is the psychopathic ruling elites, are using this automaton, this willing worker for global white supremacy, war and exploitation to do their dirty work.
When I see pictures of Rice and I look at her eyes, she looks like she is possessed. She looks like a soulless demon! I fear her efforts will lead to more war destruction and devastation. At least her predecessor, Colin Powell tried to give the impression he had some common sense and personal integrity (his performance at the UN regarding Iraq’s alleged WMD not withstanding). I’m not saying he actually had any (Powell was a key player in the attempted cover up of the Mi Lai massacre in Vietnam). I’m saying, at least he gave the impression he did! Rice on the other hand has no scruples whatsoever. She’s like some drunken college chick gone wild at a beach party or Mardi Gras. Rice like Clarence Thomas another prominent sell out, benefitted from the liberation struggles of our ancestors but neither participated in the struggle when they had the option and opportunity. Now they are agents for the ruling elites’ fascist agenda. While there are a plethora of politically unconscious/treacherous Africans I could direct my ire towards, Condoleezza Rice is a total disgrace to African people everywhere.
