Rice: " soft bigotry of low expectations"

Secretary Rice was defending President Bush's race record yesterday. She was being questioned by reporters if race played a part in the Katrina disaster. She denied it. She recalled how in 1990 she was moved by Bush's remarks about the " soft bigotry of low expectations". She then went on to say that the rebuilding of New Orleans " gives us an opportunity to rectify historic injustices " that she also experienced as an African-American growing up in the South.

Sound like she has " low expectations" also. The meaning of "opportunity to rectify historic injustices" is another thrown low ball of guilt to anyone who still feels an obligation to make life pleasant and understandable for a hardcore of people of all colors who just won't put some energy into improving their lives.
