Clue: 0bama needs to keep his trap shut. He is the most divisive president EVER! And Colin thinks he needs to speak more?
OK, then!
It's so ludicrous, it's funny.
WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell called the jury verdict that cleared the killer of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin "questionable" and urged President Barack Obama to speak more on issues of race during an interview that aired Sunday.
It's funny -- most blacks like to hang the Uncle Tom/house negro label on Colin Powell, and yet here he is with this statement. I've been in a room when Colin Powell has spoken, and he definitely commands respect. Not sure I understand him showing up so late to the game on the Trayvon travesty, though.
The verdict wasn't questionable -- it was the only thing the prosecution should have expected.

Really? Can you provide some stats on this allegation?
I'd like to see how you've arrived at this conclusion? Let's see, there are 43 million blacks in America, so, most would mean at least 51% of 43 million which is 21.9 million. IS that what you're saying? 21.9 million black Americans call C.P. the names you've suggested?
I grew up around blacks, I've gone to historically black colleges and have a largely middle class blacks as my friends, I've never heard ANY of them call CP names. I would say most blacks admire and respect CP.

It occurred primarily when CP was SOS in the Bush administration. Now that he's come out in support of Obama and liberal ideology, the "Uncle Tom" accusations have come to a halt. He came back to the plantation, figuratively speaking.

I don't know who you have been talking to, but Gen Powell is the most respected man of color in the republican party. Truthfully is the only one of the whole group of fools that could have beaten both Hillary and Obama in the elections. Many blacks were upset with him when he let bush and cheney set him up to fail with that phony "cake" thing at the UN
I used to respect Powell until he lied for G.Dumbya and that den of snakes...just another worthless politician afterall.
That's redundant!
Powell also left the administration and my guess was because he was at odds with it and his sense of duty and honor was offended so he did the right thing.

Then again you must have him confused with Herman "Uncle Ruckus" Cain or Clarence "Sambo" Thomas, but it could be Allen" Lost his freaking mind" West.

Well the extreme right Republicans shore are NOT going to like his statement. Not that that matters one whit.

We get it. The two of you are black. Now just go away!
And this is . . . how the typical Republican feels about black people in general. I thought they were going to try and broaden their base after the last election.
Good luck with that - as long as the above is the prevailing attitude.
