I’d like to think that Tony Dungy can rise above skin color to adhere to what he claims are his principles no matter what, but maybe I’m wrong. He was also interviewed by Rush Limbaugh on Rush’s radio show when his book first came out. It’s hard to imagine a devout Christian supporting someone who believes in late term abortions but I could be wrong.
Perhaps skin color is more important than your faith. I’ll give Tony the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was caught up in the moment. If he really does get into politics, then we’ll see. From the comments of Powell, my guess is that he does not want to get into politics. Might be smart if you profess something publicly, but can be swayed by someone who has the same color skin. Kind of gutless.
It is a tribal thing. 97% of blacks voted for Obama. The only time race doesn’t matter for blacks is when the Rep candidate is black. Then they vote Dem regardless of race.
