Liberals will probably say that they wouldn't have cared if Condoleezza Rice would have had a private server and classified email were on a laptop and/or device of a soon to be sex offender and well proven pervert!

Maybe most of them actually wouldn't care if it was Condoleezza Rice. Half the liberals would probably say its automatically racist to condemn her over it. Now if it was a white guy then they would break out the pitchforks and the torches(or rather their iphones) and march to DC over it.

To be fair... white people are the only race it's legal to discriminate against in the U.S.

I never thought about the race issue which you may be right about but mostly race became an issue when Obama kept mentioning black and white.

To me Condoleezza Rice was a very smart and experienced Secretary of State and at the time I don't think race would have made part of the issue but just the illegal use of a private server if she had done what Hillary did. But of course Condoleezza never did such a stupid thing.

True. The racial aspect perhaps wouldn't have been an issue back in the Bush era. Even though it wasn't long ago back then we were more likely to treat people good or bad based on their merit, without all the social justice warriors throwing a frenzy with their identity politics.

If you can get them to be honest, that will be truly astonishing. Good luck.

The two cases, Henry Louis Gates arrest controversy and Zimmerman case, when Obama interjected himself into separated us more than anything.

What if Condoleezza Rice would have done what Hillary has done!

She'd still make a better president than Trump.

You're unlikely to get an honest response.

People who say they would want Rice to be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted must then either say they want the same for Clinton (REALLY unlikely) or that they believe in double standards (also REALLY unlikely).

Nobody raises their hand to the question, "Who here admits to being a hypocrite?"
