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.

“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.
