I’ll bet he (and I read that) he passed over 100 more qualified candidates for 4* due to affirmative action.

Don’t you love when they reverse the parties that way? It was the Dems who loved slavery and the Pubbies who loved civil rights. Get it straight, everybody—it’s in the history books. They reverse it so often they’ve managed to convince the low-information-humans that it’s true.

When was the last time, or the first time, the MSM asked a conservative to define and critique the ‘rat party?

Since he once claimed to be a black Republican under the left’s bete noire George W Bush, he will forever be the left’s designated expert on all things to do with Republicans and race.

I recognised that fact some time ago. And it also goes for our “model minority” of which a majority voted for Hussein, and for the “natural conservatives” Hispanics, who did the same. Same for single white women. They are all victim gravy train voters, and even though they’re trying, the Republicans will never catch up to the left’s decades-old head start on that.

Unless you’re white. Then you must deny race, especially your own. Everyone else can act tribally.

“I will repeat that now,” he responded. “There are certain elements in the party that seem to go out of their way to demonize people who don’t look like the way they’d like them to look like, or who came from some other place. <<<

I don't know a single democrat that doesn't think that way.....ITS THE NATURE OF THE BEAST!.......(Affirmative acation on display IMHO)

It's not "minorities," Colin. It's you. Face it. You're demonic. There's nothing left of you but the lifeless body of an old, bitter attention-whore, propped of by whatever demons find you useful for the moment.

Affirmative action general proving, yet again, why affirmative action stinks.

The headline could be reversed and be very true.

“Certain elements of the Democratic Party hate men and whites”

I think that’s a very keen comparison on your part. Both cry out for attention and both carry and voice many of the same complaints and grievances. Shameful conduct for former military officers, much like another retired general, that worthless, perfume prince, Weasley Clark.

Certain elements within the GOP demonize constitutionalists and outsiders.

Thank you Colin Powell. Go back to obscurity please, history will not remember any particular gifted intellect from you. It might not even bother to remember that you were black.

Colin Powell is an idiot.
*********************
And he was the idiot who took credit for Gen. Schwartzkoph’s (sp?) planning and victories in the Gulf War. And he was the idiot who talked Bush 41 into withdrawing from that war instead of pressing on and taking out Hussain when it would have been so easy.

Powell is nothing but another racist that hates whites, like JJackson and ASharpton.

General, if there is a dark vein of sexism or racism in the Republican party, it pales in comparison to the destruction visited upon women and minorities by the victimization politics of the dhimmicrap party and its mouthpieces (the Hildebeast, Zero and 0bamunists, this criminal administration, etc.).

We honor your service, but it’s time for you to sit down and shut up, if you cannot see past your racist/sexist shortcomings.
