How is it "the race card in reverse"? Is Rice not black?

Regardless of what you may have heard to the contrary, Byrd is
definitely
one of the Democratic Senators who is spearheading the opposition.
Given
his history as a member in the KKK, one must consider racism as part of
his
motivation.

And that Byrd quote is several years old, and had nothing specifically
to do with Condi Rice's nomination. *You* dredged it up, and tossed it
out as though it were an accurate reflection of somebody's personal
feelings about Rice's qualifications to be SOS.

You don't get it. It's possible to oppose a black person without
oppposing that person *because* they're black. It takes a fairly
colorblind person to realize this.
