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 see a dark vein of intolerance in Colin Powell.
When will that guy just shut up?
Between colon, nobama, CalypsoLouie, RevAl and every other uppity calling every thing racist and 95% of blacks voting over and over for the worst POTUS in history, its looking more and more like “right on” to paint em with a broad brush.
He has proved himself to be no more tan a common racial loyalist where scum color is above all. An intellectual fraud and a walking turd.
Same guy that covered for Richard Armitage and let Scooter Libby take the fall. He knew all along who spilled the beans on Valerie Plame, yet he sat there and said nothing. Not much of a man if you ask me.
The guy who was elevated up through the ranks to become the first black Secretary of State by Republicans - what a POS....
C Bowel is such an ungrateful racist.
Hmmm. Well, he is a war hero, right? He was well boosted, by the heavies, on the site of supposed conservative value. Popular politics is unnerving to the steady hands of reason. General Colin Powell is a disappointment. The reality of good faith direction, is hardly ever, a popular choice, by candidate. May God, give us our course...
I am curious what the 1993 inflection point is all about.
