He has accused the Republicans of lack of diversity and yet he was part of an Administration that picked the most talented people available.

Secretary of State is arguably the one of the top Cabinet positions. Do we really need to judge GOP diversity?

I would quickly add that Condoleeza Rice was one of the most qualified Cabinet members Bush appointed.

Not that I’m big on defending the GOP, but Colon Bowels, in all his vaunted brilliance, is apparently unaware the GOP has attempted to run numerous good people of varied ethnicity in both houses of Congress. Is it the GOP’s fault those people have been defeated or never elected in the first place?

FOAD, Powell. You were never “all that,” anyway.

The problem is that he defines himself as an N-word.

Period.

CP has an identity problem. He is no more a “Republican” than I am Napoleon Bonaparte. The 0bama-loving race-baiter is a perfect fit for the Democrat-Socialist Party.

What is Colon Powell’s problem?

That’s easy——after serving for years as a Steppinfetchit for various administrations he got as far as he was going, and now is looking to ingratiate himself with blacks by showing his racist roots.

He was way in over his Peter’s Principle head but he was never smart enough to realize it.He allowed himself to be used and now it grates on him.

Powell is obviously not well read in American history.

He can’t bring himself to admit that “The Great Black Hope” is an abject failure so he needs someone/something to blame. Being black his default position is GOP/racism.

He has had an axe to grind against the Republican party since he was shown the door from the Secretary of State position after Bush was reelected in 2004. Powell feels he was unfairly made a scapegoat when the war in Iraq went south. Since then he has done anything in his power to undermine the Republican party including endorsing Obama twice. So basically, he is a petty backstabber out for revenge.

His problem is he is not getting enough attention from the media and Obama. He has become irrelevant and he cannot stand it.

Simply stated, Colin Powell’s “problem” is that he has no honor.

Yep, and ditto for J.C. Watts, Ken Blackwell, Michael Steele (his other faults notwithstanding) and most recently, Herman Cain. The GOP fields them, and the libs tear them down... who in the hell are the "racists" anyway? I'm sure the answer will be coming from Colon in mere moments. /s

It’s worse than that he really went on a racist diatribe. Everything conservatives say and believe was portrayed as racist.

Also, it’s pretty creepy that all this race hatred is coupled with warnings that “we” are about to be in the minority. Someone needs to combat this racism before it’s too late.
