White on Rice. . .

. . .has a whole new meaning now, thanks to liberal editorial cartoonists and morning radio show hosts. Now, apparently, it constitutes a type of acceptable racism, as in, "White-on-Rice racism will henceforth be tolerated, since she's a Republican."

I certainly hope Dr. Rice uses her confirmation process to explain how America, while not perfect, is the only place on the planet where a black woman can achieve her degree of power and influence. I hope she reminds them that even though she continues, to this day, to be stereotyped and singled out for criticism because of her race, America is still the greatest country on this planet, and that it is a significant thing that she is being nominated in the first place.
