MORE FOOLISHNESS FROM TURNER AND
KAMBON. An alert reader urged me to check out Margery Eagan's
April 8 column in the Boston Herald. The subject:
national-security adviser Condoleezza Rice. The speakers: City
Councilor Chuck Turner and local activist Sadiki Kambon.
Turner was quoted as saying that
Rice isn't concerned "about the plight of the majority" of
African-Americans. Okay, she's a foreign-policy wonk, not a
domestic-policy analyst. But then Turner added that Rice is a "tool
to white leaders.... It's similar in my mind to a Jewish person
working for Hitler in the 1930s." Say what?
Kambon, naturally, was even more
outrageous, calling her "Condoleezza White Rice" and "The Negro
Security Adviser."
