Here we go again with white folks trying to determine who should and shouldn’t be a “symbol” for black people.
According to National Review:
Given Condoleezza Rice’s middle-class upbringing, black children in the inner cities should probably not look to her for inspiration, argues Fox News Democratic commentator Bob Beckel.
Contrasting Rice’s 2012 Republican National Convention speech with Eric Holder’s commencement speech over the weekend in which he warned students about enduring racism, Beckel said on Monday’s The Five that he saw “a lot of truth” to Holder’s remarks, including his 2009 “nation of cowards” comments. While “we have made a long and determined road away from Jim Crow,” Beckel said racism still exists.
“Let’s also keep in mind: She grew up in a middle-class black family, and we’re talking here about people in the inner city,” Beckel said on Monday. “I’m not sure Condoleezza Rice is the person I would necessarily turn to as a symbol for these people who live in the ghetto.”
