Thank you. I have never once heard Powell refer to his race. I have heard him refer to growing up in New York, his parents immigration from Jamaica, but never his race.
I have also heard him speak about hard work, the pursuit of excellence, and the opportnities he found in the army.
The press has difficulty seeing anything else, apparently, since they are the source for all these comments.
Yes, and Powell is thoroughly despised around here. Annoying.
