You are right, nmh, and Colin Powell knows this, and deeply resents it.
I feel sort of sorry for him, actually. It is one of the best examples of why “racial promotions” do more harm than good.
The consequent psychological insecurity and damage to the self-esteem of the individual promoted for reasons other than merit are never considered.

“...will boil across You Tube and do great damage in these closing days of the campaign...”.
In the Democrats’ dreams, baby. I would use a certain kind of dream, but I have my standards. In their dreams.
How about the fact that Obama’s poor Grandma is very ill, bless her heart! However, he is going to WAIT 2 days before he goes to see about her. Wotcha wanna bet she broke that hip when he tossed her under his bus?!
Methinks he needs a COLINoscopy, STAT!!
“I feel sort of sorry for him, actually. It is one of the best examples of why racial promotions do more harm than good.”
Not me! I am sorry all the time that the GOP insists on being the STUPID PARTY. It was the GOP doing as you say, “racial promotions” which at once upon a time it wasn’t for this. Long ago the GOP stood on merit and not skin color. The GOP thought if they go along with this trash, they’ll pick up votes. LOL!
I don’t feel sorry for Powell at all. He got a free ride based on SKIN COLOR. He USED the GOP for SELF GAIN since at the time the Demoncrats wouldn’t put a BLACK guy in that position at THAT time.
“The consequent psychological insecurity and damage to the self-esteem of the individual promoted for reasons other than merit are never considered.”
I doubt that even now, Powell realizes how STUPID and INFERIOR he is. Once they benefit, they BELIEVE they are worthy of SKIN COLOR promotions.

Go Jesse Lee! It IS a betrayal, a heinous and self-serving betrayal.
Powell has burned every bridge he has in the USA.
He is banking on a total abdication of sovereignty to global government. He is a fool, but then most here were aware of that 20 years ago, I’m sure.
He never contributed anything anyway, so no loss. His 3rd and 4th stars were total afirmative action, as he was in ten stories over his head.
Welcome to FR!
No, he is still a dangerous Trojan Horse, that may do considerable damage 15 or 20 years from now. He hates Israel, and that means trouble.
Racism is rampant, abigail!!
Molon Labe!!
Colin Powell is a weenie, just like he’s always been. Why did you expect anything different?
