Powell will endorse Obama. Everything is based on race for the black voting bloc.

[Maelstorm]

You are wrong. Powell is not a race based politician. He is an honorable though sometimes wrong man. We have elected many of these I’m sure.

[RobbyS]

Probably right. My guess is that he didn’t run in 1996 or 2000 because he would have been vilified as a race traitor, just like Justice Thomas. That’s what his wife was afraid of, not his getting killed by a stray kluxer.

[hecht]

yes, but obama is more caucasian than black

“Powell will endorse Obama. Everything is based on race for the black voting bloc.”

Does that mean Clarence Thomas, Condoleeza Rice, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, Armstrong Williams, Larry Elder, Alan Keyes, Niger Innis, Roy Innis, etc. are all constitutionally required to support Obama? I think not.

Yes, and that spits on the efforts of our troops and makes Colin Powell a racist.
