It’s Because I’m Black Isn’t It? Celebrities Who’ve Abused the Race Card
Colin Powell
You don’t have to be wrong about the race card to be abusing it. After Colin Powell offended most of the black community by serving as the former president Bush’s Secretary of State, he switched to the democratic party when being associated with racists was no longer politically viable.
Then, he started throwing shade at his former party members. Recently on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, Colin Powell said that he left the Republican party because Republicans “still sort of look down on minorities.” Then he went on and list every racist comment he ever heard while he was with the party.
Nobody doubts that there are racists in the Republican party. But when that information comes from one of their former supporters, it makes Colin look more like a snitch with no loyalty than a victim of racism.
