Racism takes many forms.
Do you know why Powell, who was given the honor of being SECSTATE under G.W. Bush, and who declared himself a Republican, betrayed all his friends, former boss, and party, and officially endorsed, supported, and actively campaigned for Obama? Powell also became an Obama apologist. Why did he do that?
Because of race.
I am sick and tired of it all. My race (European descent) has been denigrated and officially discriminated against for decades. Job applications, loan applications, children's university applications, advertising, "hate crime" laws, and all the rest.
Jim Crow had nothing on what the full weight of the government, courts, and culture has done to the race that God created for me.
People like Powell are racists. If race "consciousness" turns you into a turncoat and traitor, (and supporting Obama was traitorous), then racists is the least offensive moniker we can apply to Colin Powell.
