That was a pretty chickenshyte response, I respected Powell and I still did not like Rice and I'm black! So please explain why that is so?

He ought to use his name instead of talking about some fictional character that doesn't exist.
He has spelling issues from time to time

Under no situation would he be legitimately convicted of murder. Murder has certain specifications that just were not met here.

Should the prosecution went with charges that they could have possibly got a conviction on? Yes, but the complaints would still be the same.

Powell knows this.

Powell, Oabma, Holder ..... they are denouncing our entire Judicail System because they personally don't like the verdict over what they perceive as a "race issue". The fact of the matter is that if George Zimmerman had been a Black Man - Not a single soul would have ever heard of this case. It's the first time in our history that a Hispanic kills a Black man and the Whites are blamed for the entire thing. It all makes perfect sense to them. A trial and verdict make no difference at all - the "system is flawed".

I would like to say "unbelievable", but there is the video tape that will live on forever. What a way to end an amazing career of service to this country. I can't think of another man in our history with such a record of accomplishment - it really makes a person think. Was he always this way? Did he always feel this "racism"? What did he not accomplish that he thinks was denied him because of "racial injustice"?

White House Fellowship - Richard Nixon
National Security Advisor - Ronald Reagan
4 Star General - George HW Bush
Commander of US Army Forces - George HW Bush
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - George HW Bush
Secretary of State - George W Bush
Race Merchant - Barack Obama

Do these people have any idea at all about how they are alienating people in this country? Not just White and Hispanic people, but there are a lot of Blacks that are very concerned with these never-ending accusations of racist-racist-racist-racist. The victimhood is embarrassing - to see that victimhood in a man like Colin Powell is just astounding. Everyone should really think about that.
or....or. maybe racism really does exist and it is still so powerful in this country that even a man of Colin Powell's stature can see it as clear as a San Diego summer day.

Personally, and I'm no lawyer but they should have went for manslaughter in the first place. I don't think that he was a racist per se, but he did follow him when he should not have. Now if I could figure that simple fact out why could'nt people with law degrees do the same?

Floridians aren't a group now? they choose their leadership. I choose where I spend my money. I have no obligation to the state of florida or the people who live there. their government, made up of the republicans they vote for, who make the laws that keep people like me away are the ones who are letting them down.
