Susan Rice Negro of the Week Repost July 28, 2014 Garrick A. Farria Susan Rice-Negro of the Week The first woman to land on this list is Dr. Susan Rice, the current U.S. National Security Adviser. Man, where to start. The right wing website Discover the Networks has good profile up on her. I can’t get past the fact that this lady, as “Black” as she is and with her various connections to the continent of Africa is a Rhodes Scholar. She, and maybe Alain Locke, should have damn well known better than to accept that award. More on that in a minute. Dr. Rice holds a PhD in philosophy from Oxford University and her dissertation was on the U.N. Peacekeeping mission in Zimbabwe in 1979-1980 that led to Robert Mugabe’s takeover of that nation. She is a lifelong Democrat, but during various stints in private practice she worked for the anti-African Brookings Institution, this shady outfit called Intellibridge which was bought out (of which Mugabe was reportedly a former client), and she serves on the board of directors or is a member of several groups including the infamous Council on Foreign Relations (our Brother Steve Cokely, may he RIP would have had a field day with Dr. Rice). Apparently she jumped back and forth between high-level government gigs and private sector security clearance gigs. While in government in the 90’s she was working mostly in the Clinton (42) administration, in various international affairs and policy roles dealing with the African Continent. In 1994, at the height of the Rwandan Genocide were approximately 800,000 lives were lost, Dr. Rice was charged as being one of the key players in “preventing” the Clinton administration from intervening. Here she was, at a seat of critical importance and a golden opportunity to get her “Sam Greenlee” (may he RIP) on and be the literal “Spook Who Sat By The Door” and it turns out that she was just “Spooking”, shuffling, shucking, jiving, grinning, and worried about some damn upcoming elections (the House GOP wound up taking out their “Contract on America that Fall anyway). So even after she couldn’t wash her share of the blood off her hands from her role in keeping U.S. forces out of Rwanda, story after story came out about her either being asleep at the wheel on Algeria, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, etc., etc. After stints with the Kerry Campaign and the Obama-Biden transition team, it seems like the good Dr. finally found her African voice for a brief moment, when in 2009 she advised President Obama to attend a 2009 World Anti-Racism Conference in Durban, South Africa. She believed that by attending this conference his presence would show the world that the U.S. was finally serious about addressing (and atoning) for the brutality of its racial past. Obama wasn’t having that, he felt that the Conference documents were too critical of Israel, too restrictive on free speech, and too focused on “reparations” for Africans impacted by the Arab/European slave trade (ironically the Pew Research poll conducted at the end of 2009 had Obama polling at 95% amongst black folks). Maybe this was a return to the early days of pushing for an African-centered curriculum (well, African-centered for her) when she fright after getting her B.A. she apparently published a book called “History Deferred” which encouraged the incorporation of teaching history, language arts, and social studies from a “Black” (as she called it) perspective. This book was sent to teachers across the country as a model. Promising start. Then she accepted that doggone Rhodes scholarship. To quickly set the tone for some of you all who have never heard the name, Cecil John Rhodes, well, if there was a Mount Rushmore of enemies of African people…him, Leopold II (of Belgium), and John Edgar Hoover (of the FBI) would definitely have a place. To put it into context, any African (there have been 14 of those jokers so far) who accepts that award should be dealt with, severely. In every sense (historically, culturally, politically, socially, psychologically, etc.) any African, whether from home or abroad, who receives a Rhodes scholarship would be like a Jewish person accepting an award named after Adolf Hitler. The Last Will and Testament of Cecil John Rhodes is a must read for each and every African on the planet (the “conscious” and the “sleep walkers” alike). His belief that as Africans we are less than sub-human, and our birthright (the Motherland and all of her mineral riches and potential for energy production) is for the whiteman’s (and I guess now the yellow man’s) taking and whatever happens to us in the process of that “great taking” is a mere footnote of history. The numbers of Africans that were killed, murdered, or otherwise died due to the brutal tactics of his DeBeers diamond mines, his sponsored paramilitary incursions into African controlled domains, and the brutally repressive Jim Crow/Apartheid styled laws that he established have yet to be accurately tallied, but Robert Botberg in his book on Rhodes, The Founder, guessed that the total figure is in the millions, all told and tallied. Don’t get me wrong, as I much as I loved and admired Brother Cokely, my request for folks to go and revisit this enemy of all African people is not an invitation to get spun out on pointless conspiracy theories (the Rothschilds, the Roundtable group, etc. Ya’ll go running down those rabbit holes and may never get out). No, we need to know this bastard simply because he was an ultimate enemy of African people (ostensibly envisioned the white domination of the continent, as they said from, the “Cape to Cairo”). Once we get an understanding of him, then we turn on those amongst us, who honor his image. Out of the lucky 14, Dr. Rice gets the call. I actually had others in the pipeline, but she ran to the head of the class today after I caught a whiff of this over-the-top, pro-Israel/Obliteration of Gaza speech she gave earlier. She was proud as a Negro peacock, in full bloom and on parade. So for shirking her duty to use her access to those in high office and work on behalf of African people, for turning her back on millions more, aligning herself with anti-African think tanks and policy shops, proudly accepting an honor named after one of the worst and most brutal enemies of African people the Europeans have ever produced, Dr. Susan Rice, PhD is the Negro of the Week.
