Condoleeza Rice: ‘I Don’t Need Somebody to Tell Me What It Means To Be Black’

EXCERPT:

RICE: "Yeah. With all due respect to late Julian Bond for whom I had enormous respect, I don't need somebody to tell me what it means to be black. I really don't. I'm really happy with the role that I've been able to play in America, the blessing of having a chance to serve this country. I actually think it's the height of prejudice to assume that you know what people think because of their color and that you have the right to design their lives for them and to tell them what they will think or do. That's the height of prejudice and the height of hubris really."
