Unfortunately, most of the black people I know are democrats, and they hate people like Powell and Rice even more than they hate Bush.
They see them as everything that's wrong with Republicans, AND they are turn-coats.
Whatever happened to that wonderful black woman who had been the head of Planned Parenthood or something, and then changed and became anti-abortion?
The power structure doesn't want anyone to think anybody can change. They push "genetics." They push "skin color." They push "agenda set in stone."
And they ignore human beings' God-given ability to grow from the darkness into the light.
Because they hate the light.
I don't agree. I think many blacks dislike what they think the republican party represents. But they do not hate Condoleezza Rice or Colin Powell or JC Watts (Clarence Thomas)however is another story. They don't understand how someone they view as being smart and all that, could be so much for Bush or republican. I'll just say this, if Condi Rice said she was switching parties tomorrow, those same people you are talking about would love her tomorrow.
