Colin Powell: Calling President 'Lazy' Has Racial Roots

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on NBC's "Meet The Press" with David Gregory: "When I see another former Governor, after the President's first debate when he didn't do very well, says that the President was 'lazy' -- he didn't say he was slow, he was tired, he didn't do well -- he said he was lazy. Now that may not mean anything to most Americans, but to those of us who are African-Americans the second word was 'shiftless' and then there's a third word after that."

Is Powell insulting the intelligence of white Americans by implying that they're so steeped in their racial bigotry they believe indolence is limited to the Negro race?

Yes.

No disrespect to you Rev, but I no longer have any respect for Colin Powell.

For a Black Man who served in the highest offices of this Land:

- Four Star General
- Secretary of State
-National Security Advisor
-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
-Commander of the US Army Forces Command

to go on a Sunday Talk Show and play the RACE CARD is an INSULT TO EVERY WHITE AMERICAN.

Yuck it up, Colin !!

Didn't Obama call himself lazy in an tv magazine interview?

Maybe it was his white half talking about his black half...

Colin "Colon" Powell was a four star general in the same sense as Al Haig. Got the rank in a career in national security jobs. Never commanded anything higher than a battalion. Knew as much about combat as he does about race. That's why he got the vapors during Desert Storm when the 'highway of death' happened, and talked Bush I out of finishing the Republican Guard off.
