After three quarters of century women will finally be accepted into Augusta National Golf Club, host of The Masters Golf Tournament. Augusta National began in 1932 and did not admit any black male members until 1990. Membership meant you were a wealthy bigoted white man.
150 years after the end of American Slavery and 90 years after Womens' Suffrage, Augusta National has admitted Condoleezaa Rice, a black woman, bringing them in line with modern marvels like the integrated lunch counter and desegregated buses.
57 year old Condoleezaa Rice was The National Security Adviser to George W. Bush, then became Secretary Of State in his second term. She is now Professor Of Political Economy at Stanfords Graduate School Of Business. This should be a lesson for all of us, if you want to get into Augusta, all you have to do is the bidding of The Military Industrial Complex on a national level for eight years.
Augusta filled two quotas by giving membership to someone that is both a woman and a "Negro". We can now leave them alone for the rest of the twenty first century.
It was awkward for Condi on her first day, she actually thought she could use the water fountain. If she is as bad at finding golf balls as she was at finding Osama Bin Laden, Augusta is going to lose a lot of inventory. Up to now black women and Hispanics were equally excluded from Augusta . Now Golf Clubs may no longer be for rich white Republican racists.
