With the ever expanding list of black politicians having problems with the Law, Corruption, Bribes, Women, Drugs, etc, etc, — I’m not aware of a single black POLITICIAN above the city council or state legislature level who has earned national attention on the basis of performance.
Are there any out there who should be noted?
Personally, I have known and can think of many blacks more competent to be in a position of national trust that Powell - but none of them are politicians.....
Well, there's your problem. :)
