Colin Powell IS actually very concerned about the African-American population. He strongly encourages Republicans repeatedly to support Affirmative Action and Anti-Hate Legislation. During the Republican Convention in 1996-he was "booed and hissed" because he stated that minorities were not represented fairly in the U.S., the American Dream is farther from our grasp, and he stated that the goverment should not get rid of Affirmative Action. I believe that he commented on it at the Convention at Philly, but everyone just got a little quiet.
However, we all know that he cannot change the mind set of the Republican party-and that is the bottom line.
As for Ms. Rice, I am not sure. She is fuzzy math. But one thing I do know is that she needs to make herself more aware of what is going on in the Middle East and Asia, not just Russia.
The funny thing about this situation- Colin and Rice, is that people think that the African-American population should just be happy and forget about the injustices done in Florida. Be that good house negroe...don't cause trouble for the master...
