The Trayvon Martin verdict showed questionable judgment on the part of Floridas judicial system, Colin Powell said in an interview airing Sunday.
The former secretary of state and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the acquittal of George Zimmerman, the white Florida man who shot and killed Martin, an unarmed black teenager, wont be something with much lasting impact on the nations politics.
I think that it will be seen as a questionable judgment on the part of the judicial system down there, but I don't know if it will have staying power, Powell said on CBS's "Face the Nation." These cases come along, and they blaze across the midnight sky and then after a period of time, they're forgotten.
Powell said he would like to see President Barack Obama express more passion about race relations in America.

He should ask some of his liberal friends which is more questionable, the “Trayvon verdict” or Saddam’s weapons of mass destruction.
I call this affirmative-action, equal-opportunity moron, colon bowell, ever being made a General “questionable”.
[I am beginning to wonder if Powell has always been a fraud.]
Are you talking about THE Colon Bowell who was everyone’s Affirmative Action Everything?
Powell has proven to be a racist, so his opinion on this is laughable. At best.
And this is colon who now?
It doesn’t matter what Powell thinks. The ONLY people who had a say were the six woman who sat on the jury. Anybody else means nothing.
The Republican Party damaged its brand considerably when they put this jack@ss in a position of authority. The more I listen to the guy and read what he has to say, the more I find myself wondering how he ever got out of high school.
I find COLON Powell to be an AFFIRMATIVE ACTION APPOINTMENT.
And no I didn’t misspell his first name.
Can’t expect any other reaction from Powell to the Trayvon case.
What a shameless person.
