IMO  I think you're wrong.  I see where you can make a distiction in words (semantics) but not in view point of judgement that one is better than another.

The point is about the subtle forms racism takes that people don't even realize they are doing or condoning.

In that case then you'd better watch out for any redneck comments, thats a culture too.

How would you explain my favorite sports stars (as mentioned in other posts) of all time being Barry Sanders and Walter Payton? Color? no.  Moral responsibilities? yes. The cultural differences between Sanders and Iverson are like night and day.  And that, my friend, is a perfect example of "Cultural differences" and perceived "racism" looking out from the left side of the vehicle.


In regards to my "posse", I outgrew that at 18 years of age. Too bad the NFL/NBA can't.
/hijack rant over.

Rip, it's as plain as the shine on your head. You are overcompensating for the racism deep down inside.
Kinda like the BMW / wee wee thing.

Powell is a whimp.  He makes George Sr. look decisive......

When have you ever seen a Sec State getting out in front of the CIC?

If that were to happen, fahgettabout it.

He's handcuffed, and showing a remarkable restraint under the circumstances.

Good friend living here in New Zealand who has since passed on but was orginally from US told me once that the US would never elect a black man as president. Would many people in the US hold it against a man like Powell just because of his colour? Find it hard to believe they would.

If any black man has a chance it's Powell
however before the last election when asked if he would run he said he wouldn't becouse all the BS that comes with the job IIRC

I would think Powell would make an excellent president, however I think he is more than aware of the inevitable attacks on his character, and would want to remain above it.

As for racism....

racism is not an american invention...fear and ignorance are an entirely human trait

Yeah the fear of fools acting stupid are keeping a great man from seeking office:(

[mosgood]

I wonder if there are any polls on how americans feel about Powell running for president....  I don't know anything about that stuff.
