Colin Powell Still Sees 'Dark Vein' of Intolerance in GOP

Speaking on the day following the 50-year anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Alabama, the first African-American Secretary of State Colin Powell said he still sees a "dark vein" of intolerance in the Republican Party, echoing comments that he made in 2013.

"I still see it. I still see it in the Republican Party and I still see it in other parts of our country. You don't have to be a Republican to be touched by this dark vein," Powell told ABC's George Stephanopoulos Sunday on "This Week."

I sat around all day and thought of ways to oppress Americans of African descent. Then, I realized the Democrat Party is already doing that, so I listened to some Louis Armstrong instead.

“I still see it. I still see it in the Republican Party and I still see it in other parts of our country. You don’t have to be a Republican to be touched by this dark vein,” Powell told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos Sunday on “This Week.”

Why doesn’t he Cite a specific Example of this?

He can’t, this is why it is BS.

Can I rant?

Considering what the Jewish people have dealt with since their creation, through the Holocaust, and into our anti-Semitic society, do you ever hear them complaining about how unfair things are? Then there is this group who still blame whitey for slavery generations after whitey freed them.

Rant off.

Powell has been a racist (and D party mole) for many years already.

Google search “powell farrakhan” for photos of Colon palling around with Calypso Louie. If a prominent Republican was photoed with Louie’s opposite number the scandal would never end.

The only time Colin Powel seems to ever rear his ugly head is to take cheap shots at Republicans. The guy never misses an opportunity to pop up on some news outlet and sucker punch people.

The guy basically owes his whole career to Republicans and all he ever does is cast aspersions.

Or how about the Europeans, who were subject to slave raids by muslims for hundreds of years. Heck, they don't even remember it.

Has wealthy elitist and race panderer Colin Powell done anything noteworthy to improve the lives of the democrat plantation slaves?

Colin Powell.......biting that hand that feeds him whenever he can. His squeamishness ended Gulf War I too early which ultimately led to where we are today
