This week, former Secretary of State Colin Powell paid a visit to Sean Hannity on Fox News. Hannity surely remains frustrated that Powell is not being a “good Republican” by seeking out truth rather than playing by simple party rules. In a well-done interview with Hannity, Powell laid out his position and clearly specified that he is taking his time to evaluate both parties before making a decision in the next election.
I really like Colin Powell. In fact, I’m willing to bet that you probably like him too. The reason that we are likely in agreement on our appreciation for Powell is because the man has sharply positioned himself a potential friend to everyone, but as the water boy for no one. Powell has been masterful at leveraging his political power by refusing to give too much loyalty to any candidate too quickly, until he’s sure the candidate is going to represent his interests. His actions remind me of rule 20 of the 48 Laws of Power, which is to “Never commit to anyone.”

Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Barack Obama, all participate in the same imperialism that oppressed Black people around the world. Do you really think Arabs and Muslims are the terrorist that they’ve been made out to be? What started the conflict between the Middle East and the US? OIL! What is Shell oil doing to the enviorment in Nigeria? Nelson Mandela and the ANC were called terrorist because they fought British oppression, they were supported by the US. Mandela was released from prison Feb 1990, Daddy Bush went to war Aug 1990 to save the Kwaitis from Saddam. All three support the oppression the Palestinians.
Black people are always thrilled when the man put the Black face they want on a pedestal. Their in the same boat as Bob Johnson as I see it. Black people forgot the same imperialism cased upon Arabs and Muslims is the same imperialism that was cased upon Black people.

If there were more Republicans who lived their starting principles like Fredrick Douglass and Colin Powell, I would sign up right now. The GOP has been hijacked by racist, xenophobes, and theocrats. Thank for God for General Powell and his integrity, service to our country, and just being an all around smart man. He SHOULD’VE been POTUS in 2000!
