Condoleezza Rice must have had access to some spy equipment over in Alabama you couldn't get in Mississippi?

Maybe it was your attitude, and not theirs (collectively) that was/is your problem?

Never mind. Let's just blame the white folk...
I was just so unfortunate to never hear the thoughts and opinions of White people in 28 years of life. Or maybe I heard it and just didn’t comprehend it. Being in gifted classes I was the only Black kid most of the time but my comprehension level just wasn’t high enough to understand they’re superior points of view. This is my first time EVER debating a predominantly White audience whose views are diametrically opposed to mine. Uncharted territory. I don’t know what to do. That predominantly, White/Conservative football team I played for never sounded like you guys.
