You're not making any sense...blacks have been voting for white candidates and Presidents for decades.
BZZZZZ
In any race where there is a black and white candidate, blacks will vote for the black candidate - period.
Also, how many blacks support black Republicans?
Why are you so racist?
The racist here is you, and everyone knows it. You care only about skin color.
If Colin Powell endorsed obama because he really believed that obama was doing the right thing, then Colin Powell would admit that he is a democrat and change his party affiliation. Since he didn't do that, and remains ostensibly a republican, the only conclusion is that he endorses obama because obama is black.
Thanks for proving my point by doubling down.too bad, we don't have to condemn him and your views of these THINGS are nasty offensive actions..YOU all don't make up the rules of what are racism, nasty or offensive that we all have to live by..WE have freedom of speech and will not BE SHUT up by you people
You don't condemn you party, so you don't get to tell us to CONDEMN ANYTHING
Can you repeat that Mr. Phoenix?This article really nails it and is a perfect response to your post.
Treating Colin Powell as
Here's a more honest assessment of Powell's reasoning than the dishonest assessment in your post and the other posts like it.
"Yesterday, Colin Powell endorsed Barack Obama for president, explaining that he believes the incumbent has done a good job on the economy given the situation he was handed. As a former secretary of state and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Powell also took serious issue with the foreign policy stances of Obamas opponent, Mitt Romney, saying that Im not quite sure which Governor Romney we would be getting with respect to foreign policy:
One day he has a certain strong view about staying in Afghanistan, but then on Monday night he agrees with the withdrawal. Same thing in Iraq. On almost every issue that was discussed on Monday night, Governor Romney agreed with the President with some nuances. But this is quite a different set of foreign policy views than he had earlier in the campaign. And my concern, which Ive expressed previously in a public way, is that sometimes I dont sense that he has thought through these issues as thoroughly as he should have, and he gets advice from his campaign staff that he then has to adjust to modify as he goes along.
INTERVIEWER: Are you concerned about the people that are advising Governor Romney?
POWELL: I think theres some very, very strong neo-conservative views that are presented by the Governor that I have some trouble with. There are other issues as well, not just the economy and foreign policy. Im more comfortable with President Obama and his administration when it comes to issues like what are we going to do about climate, what are we going to do about immigration? What are we going to do about education? Lots of things like that. I do not want to see the new Obamacare plan thrown off the table. It has issues, you have to fix some things in that plan. But what I see when I look at that plan is 30 million of our fellow citizens will now be covered by insurance. And I think thats good. Were one of the few nations in the world, with our size, population and wealth, that does not have universal health care.

Liberals have no trouble believing that some people oppose Obama because he's black. Yet, they express shock at the suggestion that some people support Obama because he's black. Curious.
Given all the times that liberals have accused white conservatives of attacking Obama because he's black, it's rather odd to see such an intense protest over the idea that some blacks support him because he's black.
Is Powell's endorsement based on race? I suspect that's part of the reason, and it might even be the deciding factor, but I think there are other reasons as well.
Conservatives deny that anyone opposes Obama just because he's black, yet they constantly claim that black people support him only because he's black.
Given all the times that Conservatives have denied that race plays any part in their dislike for Obama, it's rather odd to see such an intense belief in the idea that black people only support Obama because he's black.
See how that works?

I will also add that this thread does demonstrate the mindset of some White republicans attitude towards Black people in general and Black politicians specifically; It seems that as long as a Black republican makes blanket and inaccurate as well as insulting and demeaning comments in the form of generalizations about Black people who vote democrat and Black people in general, they are considered "free thinkers" and the "good Blacks". They had those same thoughts about Colin Powell until he started speaking his mind and truly being a FREE THINKER and promoting his vision of the republican party. Now he's a "racist", now those pukes who don't even qualify to clean his jock strap will hurl all sorts of insults towards Colin Powell.
Then maybe Powell should just STFU and go join the Democrat Party, if he's sooooooooo concerned.
It would be a lot more intellectually honest.

OMG..your whine over Colin Powell is hilarious..when during Bush you hated his guts. Now he's become a hero to you lefties just because he endorses Obama OVER his own Party..you people are so transparent

The Republican Party...so accepting of those who may differ in some times...some details.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong again!!! It's funny that making an accurate observation is considered "whining" by you. I never hated Colin Powell's guts, I wanted him to run for President since at least the mid-nineties. I had and have the utmost respect for the man. The transparent ones are the hypocrites and bigots who now loathe General Powell.
My point was just the so called conservative blacks going over to Obama.
Bush won with about 16% of the black vote
10-12 percent of that shifted over to Obama in 2008. That was because of race.
The conservatives have done everything in their power to make centrist Republicans unwelcome in the party,
and then one actually takes them up on that unwelcome,
suddenly HE's the bad guy. Suddenly he's the traitor. Suddenly he's the racist.
You people are depressingly ignorant.

Powell would fit perfectly in the Democrat party..a backstabber and fake
