As Twitchy reported yesterday, Condoleezza Rice joined the board of directors of the file hosting service Dropbox. After the announcement, there was an immediate backlash against the company from those alleging Rice to be anything from a supporter of NSA surveillance to a “war criminal.”
Actor Mark Ruffalo is among those saying they’re dumping Dropbox over Rice being named to the company’s board. The narrative that would accompany such a story if Rice were a Democrat, and those lobbying for her removal were Republicans, kicked into high gear:

Didn't realize Dems had such a problem with a woman in the boardroom. RT @MarkRuffalo: Hello Condoleeza, Goodbye @dropbox!

@DLoesch @MarkRuffalo @Dropbox And a minority woman! What a bunch of racist misogynists!

@DLoesch @MarkRuffalo @Dropbox Dems have a real war on women going

@DLoesch @MarkRuffalo @Dropbox It's the dems war on women. Both racist and sexist. Imagine if they named Susan Rice – zero 'outrage'.

@DLoesch Don't be too hard on @MarkRuffalo It takes guts, though not too smart, to loudly proclaim that they're racist. @Dropbox

Any particular reason? Or do you just not like successful black women? RT @MarkRuffalo Hello Condoleeza, Goodbye @dropbox!

See what happened there?
@DLoesch You really turned the narrative around there!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sadly however, too often the point is not taken:
@DLoesch @RNCleveland @MarkRuffalo @Dropbox That's how you see Condoleeza Rice, huh? As just "a woman." No wonder you don't understand.
