List the distinguished things that Powell has done in his career. I can't recall anything mentioned before. He is articulate and dresses well but, in the end, shows his weak substance by endorsing a fellow black.
After making the rank of Captain in the Army, he, most likely, wrote his own OERs (Officer Evaluation Report) which was endorsed by his supervisor. To not be accused of racism, the super then sends it up the line and a “walk on water” rating is eventually passed in front of a Promotion Board and,the next thing you know, Colin Powell is being considered for promotion to General Officer.
He rode on the coat-tails of affirmative action and the fear of racism. It is not fair to refer to him as a “token”, but what else? He then endorses another!
The Dems put up an electable black guy from out of left field. The Repubs didn't have one then and anyone now in consideration doesn't have a chance with his or her own race, so therefore, a waste of time.

Uh, uh, uh, he has a chestful of medals. He must’ve done something of value.
