Awesome! I still believe the Colin Powell would have made a great, first "black" President.

The only black GOP candidate who was worth a damn.

Unfortunately, the majority of black Republican politicians and lawmakers take the conservative/Republican stance on EVERYTHING. They tend to be the most "extreme."

And understandably so. They can't afford to take a liberal view on anything. To do so would be detrimental to their credibility with their white counterparts. They have too much to prove, and their credibility is very fragile.

Colin Powell was one of the few that wasn't like this.
