Last line of introduction is false. It reads “ Additionally, Rice is the highest-ranking African American woman in the history of the United States.” This was true until Kamala Harris assumed the office of Vice President on Jan 20 2021. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.51.73.91 (talk) 20:41, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Controversies ?[edit]

There was an uproar when she was called to the Dropbox board bc she is considered co-responsible for torture, surveillance and the illegal Irak war 2003 (just a few hundred thousand deads, millions of wounded invalids, widows and orphans. "Shit happens"!? In a big german newspaper she is at last quoted to be ashamed:

Change Secretary Rice's position on gay marriage. She discussed this on a podcast with Bari Weiss and said she now supports gay marriage. 2601:152:C80:7340:59ED:B8E1:BB89:8EAD (talk) 04:29, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Raised in the segregated South"?|[edit]

She was born in 1954. She was only 10 when segregation was outlawed. Our schools were well on the way to full integration before she entered high school. 108.227.225.226 (talk) 05:40, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

_"My father joined our party because the Democrats in Jim Crow Alabama of 1952 would not register him to vote. The Republicans did."_ Odd, because voter registration was never controlled by any political party. Like most states, that would have been done at the County Couthouse Board of Registrars. All you needed was a birth certificate and proof of residence. 108.227.225.226 (talk) 05:51, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The "Democrats" mentioned were probably Dixiecrats of affiliates, who wanted to maintain the Disfranchisement after the Reconstruction era. There is no reason to register someone who will never have the right to vote. The Alabama Democratic Party had "disenfranchised almost all black voters and even most poor whites", in an effort to discourage populist challenges to its monopoly in political power.

Why is her Directorship of Hoover Institution in her info box?[edit]

I thought that titles in the info box were reserved for notable public sector roles? Wouldn't the Hoover Institution be a nonprofit? Or is it because it is affiliated with Stanford? Arlinosam (talk) 19:00, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Religion?[edit]

As a believer (or even if not), a section on such beliefs from a well-known person (such as Condoleezza Rice) is in order.

Religious views would fit nicely above Music in the Family and Personal Life section.

Anyone else noticing that many articles are omitting the person's religious influences? Rlpmjp3 (talk) 04:47, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
