Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice sat-down with The View Thursday to discuss Critical Race Theory in public education; telling the hosts she believes “prejudice is somebody else’s problem.”
“The question is: Do parents need more influence here?” asked Whoopi Goldberg.
“Their children are in school for seven hours. Parents should have a say, we used to have PTAs, conferences, they should be involved,” said the former Secretary of State.

“I grew up in segregated Birmingham, Alabama. I could not go into a movie theater or restaurant with my parents. I went to segregated schools. My parents told me prejudice is somebody else’s problem, not yours. You will overcome it and be anything you want to be,” she added.
“One of the worries I have is that it seems that white people have to feel guilty about things that happened in the past. Black people feel disempowered by race,” concluded the former George W Bush official.

CONDI CRUSH: Condoleezza Rice Tells Adam Schiff to ‘WRAP IT UP’ to HIS FACE
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice didn’t hold back when speaking with Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff regarding his never-ending witch hunt of President Trump; telling the liberal lawmaker it’s time to “wrap it up” and move on.
Rice and Schiff were speaking with ABC’s ‘The View’ when the former George W. Bush aide weighed-in on Schiff’s months-long investigation into allegations the Trump campaign “colluded” with Russian officials ahead of the 2016 presidential race.
"I appreciate what you're doing for the country — but I really hope you can wrap it up," @CondoleezzaRice tells @RepAdamSchiff her hopes for the Russia probe: "The country needs to get back to business, so… my greatest hope is that this gets done." https://t.co/f8u2wc159S pic.twitter.com/428NJFeFUN

“Let me just say this. I’ve spent a lot of time in Washington and I know you’ve got a really hard job and I appreciate what you do for the country, but I really hope you can wrap it up. The country needs to get back to business,” Rice told Schiff, who looked on in disbelief.
That’s my greatest hope is that this gets done,” she added.
RICE ADVICE: Condi Rice Says US Will be ‘JUST FINE’ if Trump Scraps Iran Deal
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice isn’t too concerned with President Trump’s possible withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear agreement; saying the United States will be “just fine” outside the international pact.
“The allies love this deal, and I certainly hope that in their meeting with President Trump that [French President Emmanuel] Macron and [German Chancellor Angela] Merkel talk about ways to improve the deal if we’re going to stay in it,” Rice told Fox News.
“But if we get out of this deal, it’s going to be just fine,” she said. “The Iranians, I think, will try and stay in because they do want that investment eventually to start flowing,” she added.
“I would probably have stayed in for alliance management purposes, but I have no argument,” said the former Bush official. “If the president decides to pull out of the deal, I have no argument with that.”
President Trump is expected to announce his decision within weeks, with European allies and Iran scrambling to put forth a possible “Plan B” should the US opt-out of the agreement.
