What exactly is a "black cause" (or a "female cause", "minority cause" etc?) By saying that Condi and Powell don't represent "black causes", you're implying that all blacks live the same way and have the exact same "causes", and we all know that this isn't the case. Yes, there are some common causes, but there are also differences. It's like my pro-life example. There are women out there who are pro-life, and they shouldn't be condemned because they are. There are Asians and Hispanics out there who feel that learning English (or in the case of French Canada, French) is more important than emphasizing their homeland's language (it's all about getting out into the broader community. Not knowing English well will hurt one's chances of succeeding outside of the community. You need to know English to succeed in school, especially if you want to be a doctor or lawyer.). I don't think it's very nice to call people like Condi and Powell sell outs because they can be good rolemodels for all, not just blacks.
