Thandie to Play Condi
Posted by Bossip Staff
Thandie Newton may put her career on the line as she is in the final negotiations to star as that no good, sell out, sociopathic heffah Condoleeza Rice in the Oliver Stone biopic on George W. Bush.
Here they go again, trying to rewrite history – but as long as there’s no unholy swirly action between dumbass Dubya and Cunti in the film, we’ll be cool.

As long as she has a helmet shaped hair dryer, she’ll be ok.
Condi doing her thing – you do yours Bossip LOL!

“Success is Sexy!”
WELL WHATEVER.
Bush sr. killed Martin L. King jr. and JFK, that’s why stuff is shanked like it is today. Question how much do you pay for TX oil? $3.56 here. and i don’t stop driving you either. Kennedy was gonna put a stop to what the Bush had up his sleeve. Do the research it’s there in plain sight
I like Thandie. She’s a good actress.
I wonder if Condi considers herself a superwomen?Nah, “she wants to be, but is it really in her mind.” she be acting. Condi don’t got no job. never has under this current administration.
@ms. newton hope you got your lip chap and lots of red lipstick lol, cause you gonna have to do a hole lot of ***** sucking in this movie roll. i sayin. lmao
Condi was never that pretty
this roll might not be so easy kinda physical getting all that lock jaw lmao. come on this is a joke. any sceene they show Condi being portrayed she gonna be either lying or you know sucking *****.
She’ll def have to transform herself like Charlize Theron did in “Monster” to play such a mannish woman.
Candy Rice is a man in drag. Having Thandi play her is like asking Flava Flav to Portray Denzel in a bio-pic.
Was Whoopi or Oprah unavailable? They’re famous for playing ugly women.
@Serafina ahhhh that was harsh.
i musta missed the part where we started hatin condie
why we so mad again?
Okay bossip; the folks who read your site can get down and dirt but, the “C name” for Condi is rude and truly un-necessary.
And people, why are we so hard on this woman. Whether or not we agree with her politics, hasn’t she achieved what “The Dream” is all about. Like her or not (and none of us knows her personally, so how can we say that we don’t like her) – the fact of the matter is, I’d rather young black women follow in her footsteps than say – oh, I don’t know, uh – Remy Ma, Superhead, New York, etc…
I just can’t understand why Bossip is always riding against sellouts, but has ads for motherfvckin FLAVOR FLAV on its website. If that’s not selling out by making some change advertising a modern-day minstrel who shucks and jives for the Man, I don’t know what is.
You know what? I have to take a rare dissenting view on this post. I think Condi is actually very talented and smart. I mean, she’s a musician, and she knows a great deal about football. I feel bad for her that she has wasted her talents on the likes of George W. Bush and co-signed to this horrible war! Her skills in politics could be used for better purposes.
But, I stil love you Bossip for going ‘ride or die’ for Obama!
YES.WE.CAN.2008!!!
Negrodamus believes only a women kept in the captivities of a polygamist sect could accurately portray the feeling and emotions of a Condoleeza Rice.
They should have Dame Judy Dench play Condi. They resemble each other alot more than her and Thandi. Thandi is just a little too black for that role.
Negrodamus Believes

Of course, she has been! Why else would she waste her talents on a white man who hates blacks men?
How the HELL is Thandie TOO black for this role…she doesn’t even consider herself black….

thats tight
No. Keith David for Condi; Thandie Newton for Laura.
@ Why: couldn’t agree more. Bad form, Bossip. Bad form.
I ACCEPT your apology BOSSIP.Dr. Rice is not a “SELL OUT”.Nor is she “SOCIOPATHIC”.Why don’t you try pulling your stunted political/world view into THE 21st CENTURY? Demonizing Black people because they’re not FAR LEFT Democrats is just plain retarded.This woman will be a historical figure TO THE GOOD looong after BOSSIP is lttle more than a footnote in the internet archive.
no good, sell out, sociopathic heffah Condoleeza *********************************************DEAD*************************** SHE IS SOMEWHAT Aheffah
UK/Overseas actresses to the rescue again. Who else would go for that role? Certainly not Angela B*****ett. Thandie is talented, I would never take that away from her. But some movies just dont need to get made.
@FoxyKnoxy
that was my point. Condi doesn’t consider herself black either. That’s why a white woman should play her.
And Dr. Funk how is she not a sell out. She belongs to no black organizations, she refuses to attend events hosted by black organizations, and supports Bush. Come on now. Her football boyfriend dropped her because of that pole stuck up her white a**
I AREE Deitre THIS WOMAM ITS DETACH FROM THE BLACK COMUNITY.
Wow excuse me BOSSIP! What other African-American female has risen to the position that she has and at the same time endured so much unwarranted criticism! Colin Powell pretty much retired because of so much scorn and ridicule but yet was PRO-CHOICE, FAVORED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION and stopped the first gulf war after the highway of death was broadcast internationally. It was Condi who rebuked President Bashir of Sudan in arabic for his rough handling of her entourage when she went to his presidential palace demanding answers about DARFUR! Shame on you!
damn, bossip. you guys can be so angry sometimes. i love LOVE love thandie and i respect condolleeza…i think the movie will be interesting and that thandie will accurately and wonderfully depict ms. rice
Bossip, Condi screwed up by being *****ociated with Bush, but her credentials by themselves are impeccable…. and SHE SHOULD GET A TEMPORARY P***** AND A MORATORIUM ON ***** TALKING AGAINST HER BECAUSE OF HOW SHE HAD OBAMA’S BACK recently, and HOW SHE’S TRYING TO GET ISRAEL TO BE LESS OF AN APARTHEOD STATE AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS.
And what the ***** is ‘*****i’? That’s so white. I’ve heard her called ‘Condasleeza’ and ‘Condaskeeza’, for years, in the black community…. but ‘*****i’? How many black people do you know use the word ‘*****’, in the first place?
Change up your writers. Hire some black ones.
And @ Taharka32, THANK YOU. Co-sign. Dr. Rice earned her props, in spite of being on the side of evil. And the things you mentioned — her being pro-choice, and favoring affirmative action — are reasons why some right-wingers don’t want her anywhere near a ticket. They don’t think she’s conservative enough, in spite of being so close to oil that she’s got a damn oil tanker named after her.
This casting makes no sense
None
Condee I SEE U WUT UP!!!
Furthermore, for BOSSIP to be so disrespectful to a strong black woman who is the THIRD MOST POWERFUL person in the western hemisphere if not the world, is tantamount to saying that she doesn’t deserve her position despite her hard work. Remember when everybody hated on Anita Hill trying to block the Clarence Thomas confirmation? That’s why we black folks owe her an apology, especially us STRONG BLACK MEN! Do your thang Mrs. Rice! The average American in academia could’t tote her shoes! Thanks Nita!
@Deitre wrote, “that was my point. Condi doesn’t consider herself black either.”
That’s not true at all. Being a Republican is not equivalent to ‘not considering one’s self’ black. She’s just taken a different path. Given how the Congressional Black Caucus has been acting salty, recently, towards Obama… and how black Republicans have felt shut out by the CBC in years past, I don’t believe that political affiliation should be an overriding factor in whether one’s blackness is stamped or revoked. Dr. Rice’s best friend died in the infamous bombing of the Birmingham church by a white supremacist which resulted in 4 little girls dying. Dr. Rice knows who she is, and she knows the community; she just doesn’t believe the left-wing way is the only way. She certainly grew up in a time period when blacks were Republicans in the south, while southern Democrats did everything in their power to destroy blacks.
When it comes to speaking of it, she’s had to walk the same tightrope — the unthreatening black — that every black in a position of true power has had to walk. She’s had a unique experience because she’s walking that tightrope as an unthreatening black and an unthreatening woman at the same time. It saddens me that I now believe that she made the right choice in thinking that the Republicans were her ticket to true higher office rather than window dressing, instead of the Democrats.
@PhillydaBoss, I believe folks hated on Condi because of Bush and the fact that she’s a Republican… but white folks and other folks misunderstood that ‘hated on’ to be real hate. Dr. Rice is not a hankerchief head; she’s just on the wrong side. Respect the intellect; dismiss how the intellect has been used, but always respect the intellect. I don’t think ‘outsiders’ get that. Anyway, she’s a black woman who is Secretary of State — a black woman, as Secretary of State — and the Republicans didn’t treat that as getting a ‘twofer’, didn’t care about her race or her sex, they just were more concerned about her loyalty to the Bushes and her ability to do the job.
Condi is unbelievably smart…and Thandi does resemble her slighty. But dare I say Condi resembles thee Crypt Keeper from Tales of the Crypt?
Black people make me feel so sad sometimes! Condeleeza Rice grew up in segregrated Alabama and was forced 2 use ‘colored’ facilities, her father used to arm himself and keep guard over his house so that the KKK couldn’t attack Condeleeza while she was playing piano and one of her best friends was blown up in a white supremacist attack on a black church. After all of this she grew up to become the Secretary of State! Does she not deserve some credit for this? Imagine all of the white people who were racist to her community back in the Jim Crow days having to see that she makes some of the most important desicions about the country and is more powerful/influencial than they would ever hope 2 be! I have nothing but admiration for her!
For all of her political accomplishments what black organizations does she belong to? None. Does she attend events when invited by black organizations(State of the Black Union, Sisters in Leadership conference)? No. I could care less about her political affiliation. I’m talking about personally. She chooses not to relate. Colin Powel is a republican also, but he makes sure that his is involved in the black community. Condi doesn’t.
@Taharka33, that whole Hill-Thomas confirmation was a horrible, horrible mess. I hated how (yet again) black folk were used to destroy each other for the real overseers, like toys in a Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em arena. Leaving Thomas’ politics out of this, I personally believe Thomas really was treated to a high tech lynching — I remember, Anita Hill was only recruited at the 11th hour to try to destroy Clarence Thomas, through (surprise) sex because he they couldn’t touch him on anything of substance. I believed that then, and believe it now. I don’t respect at all Thomas’ refusal to face reality in acknowledging how he has gotten to where he is, and his attempts to shut the door behind him are sad… but the way in which others tried to block his nomination in the first place was heinous to me.
And now I see the same stuff with Obama the officially rated ‘most liberal Senator’: black folk being used specifically to tear down other black folk; black women specifically being recruited to tear down a black man.
I co-signed with you on Dr. Rice because you told the truth about her. You were educating people. You’re educating them now.
“the THIRD MOST POWERFUL person in the western hemisphere” you got that right, Taharka. you absolutely have that right… and it’s mind-blowing to consider it, ain’t it? You wrote “The average American in academia could’t tote her shoes!” LOL I just wish she hadn’t been shopping for shoes while Katrina went down. Bad move, Condi.
But neither you nor I would EVER refer to her as ‘*****i’. She truly has an intellect on her.
And @ Why? co-sign. I agree with you. Dr. Rice is to be respected (in spite of maybe not agreeing with her) more than the usual hoes like Supahead who we’re expected to applaud for ‘doing your thang’ by being an uneducated semen disposal unit and then gossiping about it, instead of the Dr. Rices. I wonder if those folks ultimately feel that being ‘Supahead’ (success using one’s body) is more attainable than being Dr. Rice (success using one’s brain) for black folk, and for black women. It’s not like anyone is trying to big up the intellectual abilities of black folk. Supahead might as well be just another athlete… only the game is prostitution; and like black men are only appreciated for their muscled backs, black women are told we’re best appreciated for being on their backs.
@ Deitre wrote, “For all of her political accomplishments what black organizations does she belong to? None. ”
After what’s happened to Obama this year by those so-called black organizations………….. I believe perhaps we should consider that irrelevant in future.
I don’t know what organizations she does or does not belong to, Deitre. I do know that part of the reason why J. C. Watts didn’t join the Congressional Black Caucus is because THEY DIDN’T WANT HIM, so he was not going to want them either.
But consider this, from the Washington Post. Why would Clyburn claim ‘we have not done right by J. C. Watts’?:
——————————–
Watts Walks a Tightrope on Affirmative Action
By Juliet Eilperin
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 12, 1998; Page A17
It wasn’t until Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-S.C.) read a Financial Times interview with Rep. J. C. Watts (R-Okla.) in August that he discovered where his colleague actually stood on affirmative action. Sitting on a plane, Clyburn tapped fellow Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and said, ” ‘Bennie, read this. We have not done right by J. C. Watts,’ ” Clyburn recalled. “When you read what he had to say, he was exactly where we were on the end result.”
(snip)
Raised in a family of Democrats, Watts declared that the party had taken blacks for granted and switched to the GOP, becoming the first African American elected statewide when he became one of Oklahoma’s three corporation commissioners in 1990. Four years later, Watts won a seat in Congress as part of the Republican landslide.
Watts has rejected the traditional trappings of being a black lawmaker, choosing not to join the Congressional Black Caucus. And he has flatly criticized affirmative action in public forums, recently getting into a sparring match with Jesse L. Jackson and NAACP Chairman Julian Bond on the subject during NBC News’s “Meet the Press.”
But he also is unsparing in his *****essment of GOP leaders, arguing that they cannot afford to abolish affirmative action without first taking substantive steps to reach out to blacks. Watts noted that while House leaders brought Riggs’s amendment to the floor, his bill aimed at revitalizing inner cities remained dormant.
(snip)
———————————-
so if that’s how Watts was treated, how much moreso has Rice been treated? Which organizations would you prefer she join, Deitre?
Blackness should not depend upon one’s political affiliation or the clubs one joins. No more brown paper bag tests. It should be about what one does, or attempts to do. Rice ‘fails’ because of her position within and closeness to the Bush Administration, but I still would want her on my side rather than against it.
and Taharka (last one for now LOL) I reread you to see you meant COLIN POWELL was pro-choice and pro-affirmative action. My bad. I misread you. Condi is those things, too. Colin Powell is loyal to a fault; so it was him that made sure that Bush One stuck to the letter of the Coalition’s agreement about how far Desert Storm One was supposed to go? Interesting.
@Kimberley, it appears that way. It may also have to do with what Foxy is talking about, above. For me, Thandie Newton is nice (i love her as an actress) but she’s too much the ‘tragic mulatto’ who’s always chosen over the ‘unquestionably black woman’. That’s not her fault. I read an interview by her where she talked about her puzzlement and bemusement over some of the types of roles Americans wanted her to play.
Anyway, to me, she’s always the love interest for white men; and, separately, she’s always the slave. She’s Halle Berry with better acting skills and even lighter skin. I was also one of those people upset that she was the ‘choice’ of a black man in Eddie Murphy’s Norbitt. His losing out to Alan Alda that year seemed like a bit of karmic justice.
I don’t know whether Oliver Stone is trying to make a clever statement about Dr. Rice’s relationship to George W. Bush by so actively pursuing Thandie Newton — or if he’s just more comfortable with the type of physical ‘black beauty’ Thandie represents over an Angela B*****ett or Alfre Woodard or S. Epatha Merkerson or whomever. Those are black women I see who can project the gravity of a Dr. Condi Rice.
Thandie, unfortunately (and again, maybe not her fault) doesn’t have that gravity. She’s the white man’s toy, not the white man’s foil.
Uh…Thandie to play Condi…What tha? It should actually be Angela B*****ett…not that Angela is a bad looking woman…but she has a stronger facial structure and her skin tone is more in line…Thandi?
I don’t even care what the topic is about. ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THE NASTINESS THAT YOU SPEW ABOUT CONDI IS RIDICULOUS AND UNNECESSARY. Get It Togerher Bossip!!
@Nita, my mentioning of Anita Hill served the purpose of hindsight. Justice Thomas is no Thurgood Marshall! Anita Hill tried to forewarn us to this fact years ago. Clarence Thomas should be respected for his intellectual prowess but reviled for his hypocrisy. No supreme court justice has dissented more in hearing final last minute death penalty appeals involving BLACK MEN than thomas.
Thandie lookz like light-skin Michael Jackson…trust me, I would know
WTF?!? Who the hell wants to see a movie about Bush?
Naw I dont think so
Since did a person have to prove that they are black.
So, if someone was a republican they aren’t black enough and if they didn’t support black organization they aren’t black enough.
Honestly, the white community isn’t destroying the black community…we are doing the job ourselves.
Seriously, what is wrong with us that we bash a successful, intelligent women b/c she doesn’t do the stereotypical black thing.
The last time I checked being a democrat make a person more black and being involved in any black organization doesn’t make a person any more black.
What makes a person black is their DNA and it is sad that so many people want blacks to be confined to roles that only should be applied to blacks.
This is exactly what happened to obama…apparently he isn’t black enough b/c his mother is white.
Black americans are just ridiculous…we hate on everyone and anything just b/c he think our ***** don’t stink.
We need to get over ourselves and stop hating on other people b/c they don’t have the same political views or aspirations that ” a true black Person” would have.
So many people on this board is just ridiculous. So many people on this board disgust me with their small mindedness and refusal to accept the fact that maybe just maybe ALL BLACK PEOPLE DON’T ACT THE SAME WAY, TALK THE SAME WAY, THINK THE SAME WAY , OR BEHAVE THE SAME WAY.
Usually I agree with bossip or atleast find the extemporaneous comments funny,particularly in regards to your handling of Barak Obmama, but with this article you really were beyond disrespectful. You condemn the individuals that stand against Barak for not being the stereotypical black politico, but then turn right around and disrespect one of the arguably, as previous comments have mentioned, most intelligent and powerful people of our time. Even if you fail to notice that she is black and a woman, it can not go unnoticed that her pretty intellect has few competitors in any ethnoracial group. Even if you can’t respect her professional choices atleast you can give her the respect that someone who has worked as hard as she has desreves. Shame on you bossip. I really respect the keen observations that this site sometimes makes, but to affilate Condi with slavery and to boil down her unique accomplishments to being some lap dog is a load of bs. You could have made your feelings known without being so base and unimaginative.
Thandie is dumb for playing that woman. They look nothing like each other, for one. For two, why the hell would anyone wanna see a biopic on Dubya? What has he done that’s movie-worthy? Is Oliver gonna expose this farce of a war, how Bush stole two presidential elections, and the countless other crimes of treason the Bushes have done over the past three centuries?
thandie too pretty a dog will be better to protray cond
THANDIE IS TOO CUTE TO PLAY THIS PART. THEY SHOULD GIVE THE PART TO WHOOPI OR ANOKI NONI ROSE BECAUSE CONDI IS A UGLY **********A!!!
thandie is not cute
damn holywood sucks they could not find a brown skin woman to play condi.
All the condi haters. Atleast condi has represented for the people of color somehow (even if it is as a republican). Condi will go down in history but you won’t. You will never represent ***** that is why you are on here bloggin!!! Some republican ideas(not all are) valid some democratic poilicies are made to keep the poor poor and never help them get up.
Either way politics suck. they are all a bunch of puppets. That is why i want to see what happens to Obama if he gets in. will he fall to the same devils in DC.
Hollywood love light sisters even when it is a brown skin woman being depicted. Surprised they didn’t ask no talent beyonce. oh they asked no talent condi.
might be black gossip butit’s a white man website!!!!!!!!
I am a proud pro-life, anti-gay marriage, anti Iraq War, anti universal health care, pro small government BLACK REPUBLICAN, and I think Bossip should be ashamed of their “crabs in a barrel” mentality. Just because I don’t agree with all of your wack-***** politics doesn’t mean that I am a sell-out! I have been attacked for years by black people such as yourselves for talking “too white,” liking cl*****ical music, not dressing like a b-girl, and for actually paying attention in my cl*****es. You tell me, how should I go about acting black? Does voting for Barack automatically put me in some type of black liberal fraternity? Or do I vote my convictions and moral and actually pay attention to what is being said and vote accordingly? Sorry, but disrespecting Condi doesn’t show that she has a problem. The problem is with black people who think we need to all act the same to show some type of unrealistic affectated solidarity.
Thandie Newton isnt cute, Thandie is *****in’ fine, Plus its a stretch to play a woman like Condoleeza Rice, Thandie will get an Oscar for that *****.
And to all you hoes downing Condoleeza, that woman rose to become Sec of State, she speaks about 5 languages, entered college at 15 and will probably be the first female President of the United States.
@ HandyDandy,
I am also anti-gay marriage, anti-iraq war moderate Black man, It really *****es me off to sit here and watch black women who cant even support themselves without some for of *****istance try and down successful women like Condoleeza Rice, You dont have her pedigree, you arent gonna accomplish 1/50th of what she has and you cant even get respected in your own household. Condoleeza when she was National security director had the power to have your ***** killed if she thought you were some kind of threat to the US, thats what her job entailed. So keep your ghetto ***** opinions to yourself hoes, respect that woman, shes more than you’ll ever be.
Love 6am
I like reading the posts on this site. They are funny. However, this one just crossed the line. However, reading this post and a lot of these comments actually makes me feel good about being a “black Republican.” I’d rather be called an Uncle Tom, a sell-out, and any other name than to *****ociate myself with a group of people who spout the names. And I’m sure people like Condi and J.C. Watts feel the same way. Does this type of language and attack make you feel good? Can you honestly be proud to say such things? I don’t care if you think Condi is evil for promoting the Iraq War. Fine. She’s evil. But black people, as a group, will never be taken seriously by other groups of people, rich or poor, white, yellow, red, if we cannot conduct ourselves in a civilized manner, to persuade people to change their views with reason, and not degrading people as low as possible.
Someone mentioned Colin Powell and Iraq War 1. If you actually read his biography, in the chapter “Every War Must End,” he states that Bush 1 didn’t express any desire to exceed the UN mandate (paraphrase). Also, everyone in the administration was concerned about the carnage, however Powell thought it best to get the field commander’s concerns squared away before ending the war. They had none, and so they ended it. Read the book. Either he’s not telling the truth and outsiders are, or he is telling the truth.
NOW WE WILL SEE IF THANDI CAN REALLY ACT!!!
SHE HAS NEVER PLAYED A ROLE WITHOUT HER ACCENT!!!
(AND DON’T SAY “BELOVED”) WATCH IT AGAIN…
KIMBERLY ELISE OR ROBIN GIVENS WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FITS FOR THE ROLE…
BTW: NO MATTER WHAT CUNNILINGUS RICE WENT THRU AS A CHILD… SHE SOLD OUT!!!
SHE TOOK THE OLD SAYING “IF YOU CAN’T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM” TO HEART.
SHE IS A GREAT TOKEN FOR WHITE AMERICA…….
So unless one is a liberal Democrat he or she is a sellout – still keeping Blacks on the plantation Bossip?
Light skinned, dark skinned, whatever, Thandie is beautiful. It will be very interesting to see how this movie turns out — Oliver Stone is the director, you all forgot that, so it’s not going to be a typical “biopic.” He probably picked Thandie because she’s such a different kind of actress than someone like Angela B*****ett. I guarantee he’s got some kind of “vision” in mind. It might be a mess. But it’ll be interesting.
You all are some dumm***** JIGS! You finally have decent BLACK FEMALE role model and BOSSIP calls her the “c” word! Typical…….self destruction behavior from the blacks. She was a child prodegy and Ivy Legue scholar with top honors. How many black people do you know with those accomplishments? What have you done BOSSIP BIATCH READERS? HO SIT DOWN indeed!
Ugh. If we’re gonna play this game, I want Halle Berry to play me in the story of my life. LOL
Bossip, I can understand your frustration with this woman, but to call her “*****i” is out of line. It’s tacky. You can go against her poor judgment in taking a position in the current administration, but calling her (or anyone) a ***** is ridiculous.
BOSSIP DON’T KNOW SHIZ ABOUT POLITICS. That’s why the Black community will lose again this election. YES U CAN LOSE!
But you all love that *****e sniffin bs artist Obama.
Bossip, the c word is really out of line and out of culture. You are advertising who you really are.
As for the racism Condi endured and the education she achieved, it obviously meant nothing to her since all they had to do was give her an oil tanker with her name on it to disgrace her heritage and scholarship. Any black person who defended the non actions of the Bush Administration during Hurricane Katrina is subhuman. She said in AL in front of a white audience that racism had no part in the non rescue of the people and that they should just wait on the Lord. Funny how we forget. Katrina was ethnic cleansing and she was the stamp of approval that it wasn’t. She was the worst National Security Advisor in history — she should be sitting in the dock in the International Criminal Court for war crimes against humanity for public declaration of lies that led us to the wasteland of the Iraq War. She is no different than any gangsta out here slinging drugs or talkin’ about b*tches and h*s just to get some ice. She provided legitimacy to the Bush Administration just for an oil tanker. Which one of you brothas and sistas would sell your soul like that. We need to demand more of our leaders. To whom much is given, much is expected.
You know what if Bossip had any sort of decency they shouldnt be saying divisive comments like that. This is exactly why black people will always be against each other. You have to respect this black woman that knows 5 or 6 languages and is highly educated. Yes, she is a Republican but she is an INTELLIGENT BLACK WOMAN!! Damn, but yet you are the ones that want people to respect you and all black people!? How is that when you are putting other black people down?
Bossip, you’re just full of it. It is a bunch of haters running this site.
Bossip, the liberal/ghetto slant of this place have never ben more clear than in your needless attack on Miss Rice. You glorify Rap thugs and yet shamelessly trash a woman who has dedicated her life for her nation. As for the rest of you?… Please grow up & wise up. Some other gutter comments made here make me want to unplug the computer. Miss Rice is welcome at my home any time. Can’t say the same for Pastor Wright or Little Kim.
Condi is not a sellout. She is more of a role model than many other black women in the public eye. And to think, she didnt even have to go to Charm School.
I am a black Republican who will vote for Obama. If Condi is on the Republican VP, I will change. Condi is intelligent, speaks fluent Russian, plays the piano and ice skates, like many middle cl***** black woman like me. Yet black men are intimidated and you losers talk about her. Don’t hate.
condi looks like a zombie!
@ everyone who respects Condoleeza’s achievements, but can agree she is aligned with evil.
Albiet she is talented. There are many talented people in this world. Her talents are wasted. The “power” you believe she has, you have the same power to speak out. When are black people going to build our own society and stop jocking the white man’s evil empire?
We defend Rice, but turn a blind eye and say “the past is the past” when they killed Malcolm, Martin, Fred Hampton, Bunche Carter, Nat Turner and countless other proactive, “powerful” members of our intellectual elite.
WAKE UP!
Calling her a ***** is low cl*****. I read Bossip for fun but your misogyny is sickening with this.
I am going to take a p***** on your site.
Condi does what Condi wants. Besides, you sorry ***** *****s in this country that sit around waiting for ***** to be handed to you are foolish. Damn! I’m black and I don’t like half the black folk in this country. I was in compton back in the late eighties and *****s are telling me what colors I can and can’t wear? Most of the drug dealers in our community are black and just try to stop them. I dare you. You can’t trust folks even in you own community. So, as far as Condi is concerned, she’d rather laugh with the sinners than cry with us. And I don’t blame her.
I hate the hood!!!
@ MAHOGANY, girl u a fool! LOL
Then Terry u sir are a cur!!Your self hate is coming thru the screen ,u should have just got put on the set and kept it moving.even if u wasnt affiliated you wasnt going to wear outside colors now was u? Condi is a ***** ***** deal wit it CUZ!
People if you hav’nt noticed BOSSIP writers degrade and disrespect most independent black women the same. Especially the dark complected ones like Venus and Serena, Fantasia, Vivica and Tameka, the “TRUE” black woman (undeniably black) unlike THANDIE are the ones that seems to be treated undeservingly. Even though they all worked very hard for those accomplishments.
@ Terri I agree. Though I won’t say that I hate the hood. There is a thin line between love and hate, therefore I love it from afar and do what I can to make a change. Become a criminal prosecutor and be a fair one. Volunteer and help save the ghetto children. They need an oulet!
@ DM, no disrespect but I yet to have met a black republican and hoped to never meet one. Please do your research of the basis of your party. Google Eugenics,Darwinists and republican. You will change your mind about your supporting the republican party.
The next time someone wants to get on me about my anti deep south, anti babymomma, anti welfare, anti babydaddy, anti ignorant ***** rap lyrics, anti nappy ***** weave, anti tatted up *****es, anti ***** talkin’ fat bossip heffas who have done nothing with their lives, will never accomplish nothing (because they dont even try) or keeps having kids when they know they cant afford them, I just gonna revert right back to this Bossip posting and post some of the comments by some of these ignorant ***** babymomma BAMA ***** *****es…………………..
You hoes have typed up some ignorant ***** ***** in here!
You dont even have a defense!
6am, never wrong.
How can you hoes even compare or question Condoleeza’s credentials?
She speaks 5 languages, you hoes speak “Ghetto and Super deep south Ebonics”
Wow 6am, how limited is your universe.
Many people in the world have advanced degrees and speak more than one language, fluently. It is only here in America that it is a novelty.
Education is not a baton to whirl over the heads of one’s felllows nor is it an epaulet to be worn only for bragging rights. It is a tool to improve the human condition, Dr. Rice has hardly done that. And to Terry, I most certainly don’t defend the ‘hood, but ‘hoods are all over the world (since you mentioned you are not from here); if you find black americans so distasteful, why don’t you then go (back) to a ‘hood in Africa or Jamaica or South America, where the whole country is one big hood. It is the same spirit of poverty, ignorance and injustice that is upheld by (yes, I agree with you) the people in the ‘hood and also by the Dr. Rice’s of the world. Learn it.
condi has that don’t ***** with me today look. bush can do that 2 u sometimes. Barack can always use a new supporter.
I came here late so it seems to me that Bossip has removed whatever rude comments that was causing so much consternation.
I was going to comment on u folks ignorance. That was, ofcourse, until I saw that most of you on this board are ignorant. Condi is an accomplished woman. Maybe it’s ‘cuz I’m not American (I’m Nigerian), so it’s not in my nature to hate. When Condi went on a trip to several African countries, in Liberia, they gave her a standing ovation. I’ve seen some idiots on here and other posts getting angry at Condi because she went shoe shopping when Katrina hit. If Katrina had hit a predominantly white city, would it bother you if she went shoe shopping? Was she supposed to stop EVERYTHING she was doing until the whole Katrina situation was resolved? Why don’t I ask you what YOU were doing when Katrina hit? Or what? @cuz she was the sec. of state, she was supposed to fly there asap. Well she being the state sec. would mean she has a more important job to do than most (infact all) on this site, so why didn’t any of u fly to NO immediately, the way you expected of Condi? This is a crabs in a barrell mentality, and most of you mongrels can’t even see it. Hating on a sista doing well.
The ignorant *****s that keep on dissing the Republicans need to get a clue! Condi’s dad wanted to join the democrats, but they didn’t let him in ‘cuz he was black, and the weren’t accepting black members. The republicans allowed blacks in, so he switched. That is why Condi is a republican! That is the only party that would have let her black ***** in! Remeber, they are also the party of Abe Lincoln! Blacks being in bed with the democrats is just like a cheap date. They know that they don’t have to give much to get u into bed! This is coming from someone who supports the democrats. But it doesn’t mean that I can’t see the bull***** that is going on.
On a lighter note, Thandi to play Condi? First of all, she is half-white, and please don’t pretend like you all don’t know that it means something. The person that was saying that Thandi doesn’t consider herself black should stfu. She does. She says she has a white daddy, so is biracial, but knows the dynamics of her life as a black person. Stop hating, the girl/woman is herself. She is proud of who she is. As much as I like her, and do think that she is just one of many people (sistas), that are on the receiving end of racism in Hollywood, this role, IMO, would have been better suited to someone of a darker complexion. Afterall, they wouldn’t have gotten a white hispanic to play one of the white characters, so why is it any different her, especially when the said character (Condi), is still alive and in office, so the difference in physical resemblance would be even more obvious? Afterall, I know that they’d never get a non-mixed sista to play a biracial chick!
But because I love Thandi, and I know she suffers the same lack of decent roles as other sisters(yeah she’s a SISTA) in Hollyweird, I will more than happily support any role she gets, as long as it is decent. I mean, how could someone of her talent be forced to appear in such monstrousities as Norbit? Where there such a lack of roles? (I know the answer to that question). Thandi girl, do ur thing!
Condoleeza Rice is an intelligent black woman, I admire her so much, your words were out of line bossip. I love Thandie Newton but not as Condi. Bad Casting.
@JalilMaster:
Nigerian???
And you are callin’ black folks mongrels?
You claim it is not in your nature to hate, but that Christian/animis v. Muslim tension sure does result in a lot of dead bodies and destroyed property. If you want to play stereotypes and name callin’, then as your country is one big kleptocracy, I guess that makes you a corrupt, dishonest thief.
Maybe Condi’s appeal to Africans is her disregard for life. She really is a war criminal with respect to Iraq. But hey, she is on the board of Chevron, so that makes it okay, right?
If Black Americans are waiting for a handout, at least we are smart enough to get it interest free, unlike the third world countries who must beg the IMF and the World Bank for loans with exorbitant interest rates and enter into contracts with Western corporations that winds up screwin’ their country.
Oh, and where are all the doctors and nurses in Africa while the continent dies a slow death? Just asking since you asked where black americans were during Hurricane Katrina. But then again, I guess you didn’t know that most of the world’s PhD’s were awarded to Africans — and look at the continent.
Sounds just like Condi.
Oh, and you arent’ kickin’ any knowledge to us about the Democratic Party. The Republican Party became the Democratic Party vis-a-vis racial prejudice in 1968 in Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” and that has been its game plan for 40 years. The real knowledge is that they are both one big corporate party wasting the money of American taxpayers and taking American and Iraqi lives with this war.
Sounds just like Nigeria.
@ Anyhoo
I agree with your comments to JalilMister ( Babatunde Niger)regarding the state of Nigeria- the most corrupt african state- and coldrum of ethnic tension! Plus they are the biggest haters in Africa too!
Howvwever regarding this comment ” If Black Americans are waiting for a handout, at least we are smart enough to get it interest free, unlike the third world countries who must beg the IMF and the World Bank for loans with exorbitant interest rates and enter into contracts with Western corporations that winds up screwin’ their country.”
I have to vehemently disagree because coming from Zambia- i know for a fact that my governmnet had no choice but to accept the IMF Structural Re-adjustment Policies- With financial conditons that are forced on us- and govt- has no choice but to cut Govt expenditure on Healthcare, education, Infrastructure etc, which has a direct impact on the poor!- Africa is dying a poor death because the Western govts- the USA govt the main culprit- do not want us to develop! The Terms of trade as decided by the US govt’ agencies the IMF and World Bank are always rigged to favour your govt to the detriment of ours! ALWAYS- so it is not the poor starving Africans faults! If Africans had a equal playing field in world trade and allowed to develop using the African way as opposed to being forced to adopt American economic systems and palrty democracy- we would have a chance! but as it is- we are forced to take the USA style of democracy ( which clearly doesn’t even work well there), in countries and cultures which are vastky different from yours, and therein do our problems lie!
That withstanding- Condi Rice- I admire her as a Black woman who is educated and has reached the pinnacle of her career!! However it doesn’t change the fact that she is a War-Mongering Republican- who i bet does’t even have any Black friends other than Oprah!
@Free Tibet From the Monks.
Good and very true points about usury practices by Western governments on the poor countries. I like your name too — it shows you are informed. However, it doesn’t change the fact that there is too much corruption in third world nations, which exacerbates the horrendous terms of the World Bank/IMF lending machine. So, I can’t really admire, on any level, the Condi Rice’s of the world, because institutions like the World Bank/IMF/WHO, etc. use the Condi Rice’s as a facade for their own enrichment at the expense of the poor nations, usually populated by those who look just like you, me and Condi.
I love Thandi, but Condi is clearly a darker skin of beautiful black. Why can’t hollywierd just accept that some blacks don’t have white features and get someone who has a better likeness than Thandi.
C’mon Bossip, why would you write:
“….no good, sell out, sociopathic heffah Condoleeza”
That was totally unnecessary to disrespect Condoleeza Rice in that manner. It takes African-Americans from all political persuasions to effect economic and social change on this nation. One party taking our vote for granted is dooming us all to failure. Besides, the party that eman*****ted African Americans was the Republican party (Lincoln) and we all praised the Republican party until Roosevelt’s New Deal dealt a (near)death blow to our community with Welfare….
THIS IS THE PERFECT MOVIE TO PUT A WHITE WOMAN IN BLACK FACE BECAUSE NO BLACK PERSON CAN IDENTIFY WITH HER. LOOK HOW SHE LEFT HER PEOPLE DROWNING FOR KATRINA WHILE SHE BOUGHT SHOE. EVEN A WHITE WOMAN HAD TO LET HER KNOW SHE WAS TRIPPING.
I don’t get some of the posts here. True Thandie is much more attractive than Condi—ooh, way more attractive. Did Angela B*****ett look like Tina Turner? Thandie is a phenomenal actress (see “Besieged” for unquestionable proof) and very likely THAT is why Oliver Stone chose her. Let the makeup people do the rest.
