‘He voted for Obama not because Obama was a democrat, but because Obama is a realist’
Nope. Powell voted for Obama because he is (half)Black. I was appalled at the number of ‘Conservative’ Blacks who came out in support of Obama. I told my friend who is a Conservative Black woman, any Conservative Black who votes for Obama is putting their race above their ideology. Simple as that.
I agree. If I vote for the white guy because he’s white, I’m the scum of the earth (as it should be). But voting for the black guy because he’s black gets a pass? Looks like a whole lot of people forgot what MLK’s message was (the part about people being judged on character, not color; lots of people celebrating the MLK holiday dreaming of the day big whitey is living under apartheid).
They are shameless hypocrites. Simple as that.
