Once upon a time when our politicians did not apologize for our country's prior actions. Here's a refresher on how some of our former patriots handled negative comments about our great country. These are good JFK'S Secretary of State, Dean Rusk, was in France in the early 60's when DeGaulle decided to pull out of NATO. DeGaulle said he wanted all US military out of France as soon as possible. Rusk responded, "Does that include those who are buried here?" DeGaulle did not respond. You could have heard a pin drop. ~ When in England , at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, "Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bury those that did not return." You could have heard a pin drop. ~ There was a confe ...

By this time, most people are aware that, according to those on the Left, the only racists in America are white conservatives. In much the same way, they dismiss the likes of Thomas Sowell, Ward Connerly, Condoleezza Rice, Walter Williams, Larry Elder, Shelby Steele, Allen West and Dr. Ben Carson, as inauthentic blacks. In other words, the Left is so befuddled by reality that they ignore pigmentation in favor of politics. However, if a black person wants to avoid all that bad stuff and cut to the chase, he can, like Colin Powell and Juan Williams, establish his bona fides by endlessly voicing his support of Barack Obama. Ever since Lyndon Johnson destroyed the black family back in the 1960s, America's blacks have been systematically brainwashed by the Democrats. So successful has the campaign been that by now they actually believe it's the Republicans who want to return them to the plantation, or, as Joe Biden put it, "Put y'all back in chains."

“Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate, and doubt to offer a solution everybody can understand.” — General Colin Powel

Steven J would agree! Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers. Colin Powell

Yes. John McCain & Colin Powell are examples of your point. :)

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure." - Colin Powell. "Before anything else, preparation is the key to success." - Alexander Graham Bell. "Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary." - Robert Louis Stevenson.

Vibrant atmosphere of Myer was fine for Colin Powell (The United States Army) (Source: The United States Army) According to official State Department records, Colin Powell led or participated in 214 diplomatic missions as secretary of state. From 2001 through 2005, the once Army four-star general conducted either solo or joint diplomatic visits with President George W. Bush across the continents of the globe. With due respect to the cosmopolitan centers of Paris, Brussels and Rome, where Powell visited for peace-seeking meetings, world capitals did not compare to the hustle and bustle of Fort Myer. The base served as Powell's home on three occasions during his military and public service career. Powell unrolled the family welcome mat at Fort Myer's quarters... ~GeeK3r

Uhuru Kenyetta has caught the world by suprise. He defeated the British/American sponsored puppet Railer Odinga. Till to this stage the British have not yet accepted the results. By their inteferrence of ( the British and the Americans ) it means Uhuru Kenyetta did not only surpassed puppetic Kenyetta and othe agents, but it means that he frastrated and defeated all the imperialists of the world combine. The puppet Odinga is calling for the halt after their imperial tricks of counting by hand failed. The western imperial moribund and its puppets, sooner are about to reach its fate and limitation.

The Road to Perdition May be Paved with Good Intentions, but Politics Was the Contractor on the Project David H. Bolin One of the most perceptive books on management of the 1960’s was "The Peter Principle". It posited that in most organizations people are promoted to a point just beyond their level of competence. I believe that is what has happened with the American Presidency; that after the roaring incompetence of the Bush years, the Democratic Party decided (in their usual, utterly incomprehensible way) that this was the time to put forth a Black Man for President. Unfortunately, they had no Colin Powell around for the job so they selected an aggressive, intelligent and well-spoken young Senator from Illinois without a large trail of accomplishments as their candidate. The Republicans, who had screwed John McCain in 2000 so they could run the more malleable George W. Bush, gave him his shot in the kamikaze role, additionally saddled with the eager but totally inept ex-governor of Alaska, Sarah Pal .. ...

Watch this before it is blocked Guys, this is serious stuff, all the more credible since it's a video, and I doubt if it's photoshopped. Thank God we have a few patriots among retired military flag officers, unlike Wussley Clark and Colin Powell, both driven by other agendas. Pair this with the story about how DHS is stockpiling ammo, and we have a genuine conspiracy or one-in-the-making. Of course, there are many distractions, red herrings, and straw men being strewn around to try to keep our eyes off the ball, but we are in a very dangerous period in our history (he said, paranoically). Check out the old movies "Manchurian Candidate" ('62) and "Seven Days in May." It can happen here, and we, as a country have never been less patriotic or been less attentive to goings-on with this admin. Apathy, denial, and ignorance = doom. Ignore at your risk.

Let me tell you a story. In 1929, a very little girl crossed the Atlantic with her Mom and Dad and entered the United States of America, through Ellis Island. She was four years old. A short time later that year she returned to Switzerland to live with her mothers sister, "Tante Louisa", while her parents stabilized in this country, after that 1929 crash of the stock market started the Great Depression. Three years later her Mom went back to get her, stayed in Basel, Switzerland, for more than half a year, to let her daughter get to know her again. Then they went home to New York, where she got to know her Dad as well. She grew up in New York City. She attended school and had to redo first grade because she spoke no English. She went on to graduate high school a year and a half early, while attending the same high school as Colin Powell, some er. It was WWII, and she loved Clarke Gable and Vivian Leigh and was enthralled with everything "Gone With the Wind" including Margaret Mitchell. She also loved ...

The latest edition of al Qaeda’s English-language online magazine Inspire urges readers to become “lone wolf” jihadists focused on assassinating current and former leaders of Western countries. “It is easy,” an al Qaeda “consultant” writes of killing the U.S. or French president. “These people have many weak points, especially during parties, ceremonies and election campaigns.” In the article titled “You ask, we answer,” the consultant says that “individual mujahids” or holy warriors, who are daunted by the task of killing current world leaders should consider murdering their predecessors. “If you think you are unable,” the consultant writes “then you have easy targets like [former U.S. Presidents George W.] Bush [and] Bill Clinton, [and former U.S. Secretaries of State] Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, … [as well as former French President Nicholas] Sarkozy and [former British Prime Minister] Tony Blair. **FILE** Secretary of State Colin Powell looks April 4, 2002, on ...

Perpetual optimism is a fotor multiplier-colin Powel.

Here is something that we at The Why? Movement feel the need to clarify: we are not opposed to welcoming the substantive opinions of the conservative intelligentsia; in fact, we encourage conservative intellectuals to submit queries and answers, and thus contribute to our ongoing efforts to champion reasoned thinking. We malign people such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck etc, not because they are conservatives, but because they are imbeciles who lack a maieutic compass. Not only do people such as they willfully (and unabashedly) spread dogmatic and unreasonable assertions, but they also tend to malign, as "intellectually elite" (or something to that effect), many of those people whose thoughts are guided by reason. (Remember the pundit attacks on Colin Powell?) While, yes, liberals such as Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz can be bombastic and reactionary, they have yet to insist upon unreasonably dogmatic lines of reasoning, and they have yet to suggest that being educated in a negati ...

They surrendered to the Indian opponents to the tune of 90,000 and looks like this time they'd be doing worse in Balochistan and Karachi... pretty soon!

Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership. —Colin Powell [Former U.S. Secretary of State in the George W. Bush Administration]

Im not sure if you are aware of this but we are now completely independent of Grant Hill's species. We now have our own right side so called anti particle with its own unique set of DNA. We can now choose how we build the remainder of the right side as well as the left from the 4 other species similar to ours. We have always had this ability but inhabiting the same planet makes it seem as if we are the same or that there was more of a connection between the two groups than there are to the other three. Colin Powel is not the same as us FYI. He is more similar to Barack Obama.

General Colin Powell has stated that the lowest point of his life, was when he gave his speech at the UN in support of the invasion of Iraq based on the evidence of the existence of WMD's in Iraq. While that may have been from his point of view, the lowest point, I think that other evidence shows that the tendency to support the actions of the Military Industrial Complex began decades before he made the following statement to the UN. "We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more." - Colin Powell, Secretary of State Remarks to the UN Security Council 2/5/2003 During an earlier war, Vietnam, Colin Powell, was called upon to tell the truth in a case involving atrocities committed by a high ranking officer, a commander of an infantry brigade, who was charged with shooting Vietnamese civilians with a machine gun from his helicopter.

Laura Bush pulls out of supportive *** Marriage Advertisement, featuring Pres. Obama, Colin Powell, *** Cheney. Was she pressured by her christian political allies or her husband?

The Respect For Marriage Coalition has apologized to Laura Bush for including her in the their new *** marriage campaign without asking her permission and said they will remove her from all media by this weekend. I might suggest they contact Colin Powell and *** Cheney too and ask them what they think so they can take them all out at the same time should they so wish. Otherwise, we will just have a constant drumbeat of people being freshly surprised and very unappreciative of this whole thing.

It's a controversy that's intensified with a new ad -- from the Respect for Marriage Coalition -- promoting same-sex marriage. The ad features a montage of prominent Republicans, including *** Cheney and Colin Powell -- giving clout to what some see as a "liberal agenda."  Laura Bush is now asking to be removed from the ad, saying the group never got her permission.   Just shows how sensitive this topic is.

Today we salute Colin Powell. Colin Luther Powell was born on April 5, 1937, in Harlem, a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, Jamaican immigrant parents Maud Arial and Luther Theophilus Powell. GEN Powell was raised in the South Bronx and attended Morris High School, a former public school in the Bronx, from which he graduated in 1954 with no definite life plans. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in geology from the City College of New York in 1958 as an average student. However, it was here that GEN Powell decided to join the Reserve Officers Training Corp (ROTC) where he quickly became commander of the unit. He was later able to earn a Master of Business Administration degree from the George Washington University in 1971, after his second tour in Vietnam. After graduation in 1958, GEN Powell was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army. While stationed at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, he met Alma Vivian Johnson of Birmingham, Alabama, and they married in 1962. ...

What a great new bipartisan video for marriage equality! Put out by the Respect For Marriage Coalition, chaired by the Human Rights Campaign and Freedom to Marry. Featuring former First Lady Laura Bush, President Obama, former Vice President *** Cheney and Colin Powell. It's a DISGRACE that this is STILL even an issue in the U.S. when MANY other countries around the world - EVEN backwards thinking/catholic/"christian" (obviously NON-followers of Jesus since he was ALL about loving & accepting EVERYONE!!) - believe in giving ALL their citizens EQUAL rights!! (ahhh the karma those with closed hearts are creating for themselves & the BIG lesson in not being safe in living authentically they're passing onto their children when they're being raised with such judgment!!)

A new advertisement launched by the Respect for Marriage Coalition on Wednesday shows U.S. President Barack Obama, former first lady Laura Bush, former vice president *** Cheney, and former secretary of state Colin Powell, all speaking out on their support for same-sex marriage in the U.S.

Thought Laura Bush was a conservative saint? Then you'll be disappointed. She, *** Cheney, and Colin Powell just appeared in the Washington Post in support of *** marriage. Laura Bush is no conservative, especially as she pals around with all the same radical femmi-nazi groups that Hillary Clinton did in the white house.

99% of so called talent that to many of the populous idolize and FOLLOW should FOLLOW and communicate the message below: Model Says She Won 'Genetic Lottery' By Karen Keller | ABC News Victoria's Secret model Cameron Russell has a message: Society overvalues looks and should pay more attention to serious issues.

You couldn't have sold the Iraq War without 9/11. You couldn't have sold the threat of WMD without 9/11. As Ray McGovern pointed out at the Downing Street Memo hearings, they went from Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice saying that Saddam was contained prior to 9/11, to saying he was a dire threat after 9/11. It was the foundation of fear that 9/11 built that enabled the selling of everything detrimental to humanity after the attacks.

The RachelMaddow show. The co-author of ‘Hubris’ on torture, secrets–and what we still don’t know MSNBC staff 9:07 AM on 02/17/2013 What is the most overlooked part of this piece of history? The story of the dissenters. In the documentary, we interview Houston Wood, the nuclear scientist who was asked to evaluate the aluminum tubes seized by the CIA which were later presented as smoking-gun evidence that the Iraqis were building centrifuges for a reconstituted nuclear weapons program. Wood, a genuine expert on the issue, thought he had debunked the assessment in 2001 and was stunned to see the Bush administration using it to justify an invasion. When he heard Colin Powell echo the discredited claim at the U.N. Security Council, he says, “I felt betrayed” as a scientist and as an American. That kind of testimony is powerful stuff and it mirrors the experience of many in the government who knew that what was being presented to the public was completely wrong.

A well-known jetsetter, environmentalist, philanthropist, and multi-millionaire entrepreneur, John Paul DeJoria is frequently seen with friends Kevin Costner, Cher, Michael Douglas, Pierce Brosnan, Fran Dresher, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Sir Richard Branson, and just about every other famous name we could mention, traveling via private jet to any of his six homes scattered around the U.S. — one as big as a shopping mall. While chatting with J.P., as close friends call him, relaxing at his home in Austin, . ...

Did you know that Colin Powell, the son of Jamaican immigrants who grew up on the rough streets of the Bronx became America's first Black Secretary of State? Did you know that Condoleezza Rice a Soviet specialist who is fluent in Russian is America's first woman and the first African-American national security advisor? She is also humble about the source of her strength. " I'm a deeply religious person," she has said. " I was taught that you don't pray with a laundry list, so I ask for wisdom and guidance and strength of convection."

What Susan Rice proffered re: Benghazi PALES in comparison to those statements made by Colin Powell re: the invasion of Iraq. OUTRAGEOUS!

Printing up Wikipedia articles (wikipedia because i'm lazy) for my boys at work to write me papers for Black History Month. It seems most of these boys understanding of Black history is limited to MLK. So I printed articles on Nat Turner, Toussaint Louvetire, Mohamed Ali, W.E.B. Du Bois, Colin Powell, Joe Louis, Tuskegee Airmen, Jackie Robinson. I'm trying to mix it up but does anybody recommend any other articles I can look up and print out? Doing this while trying to supervise.

We are working on a potential program for down the road. Who would you rather pay to hear speak; Gen. Colin Powell or Laura Bush?

Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier. - Gen. Colin Powell

“Always be looking for that which you do well and that which you love doing, and when you find those two things together — man, you got it.” — Colin Powell

ARE YOU WAITING UNTIL YOU HAVE 100% OF THE INFORMATION BEFORE GETTING STARTED CHASING YOUR DREAMS? JUST START RUNNING FOR THEM. YOU WILL GET HELP-DIRECTIONS, WATER AND SUPPLIES ALONG THE WAY. RUN! During my high school graduation Colin Powell shared this and I've lived by it. I'm a student and love learning and this is what has helped me from STUDYING TOO LONG. Colin Powell’s 40/70 rule Pressure and good decision making rarely mix well. Next time you have to make a difficult decision in a short timeframe, try using Colin Powell’s 40/70 formula for success. He will act on a decision once he has enough information to have a 40 percent to 70 percent chance of success. He doesn’t wait until he is 100 percent sure because often that is too late for the decision to impact the opportunity or problem.

These questions have been too easy so here is a hard one: The parents of Colin Powell immigrated from what country?

Now, we are moving to Iraq: “At one point, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz suggested that we consider confronting Iraq as well as the Taliban. Before 9/11, Saddam Hussein’s brutal dictatorship was widely considered the most dangerous country in the world. The regime had a long record of supporting terrorism;….. Saddam forces fired routinely at American and British pilots patrolling the no-fly zones imposed by the United Nations. And Iraq had defied more than a decade’s worth of UN resolutions demanding that it prove it had destroyed its weapons of mass destruction. ‘Dealing with Iraq would show a major commitment to anti-terrorism’, Don Rumsfeld (Donald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defence) said. Colin (Colin Powell, Secretary of State) cautioned against it. ‘Going after Iraq now would be viewed as a bait and switch,’ he said. ‘We would lose the support of the UN, the Islamic countries, and NATO. And besides, we don’t have linkage to this event (9/11)’. George Tenet (CIA Director) ...

Last week was the tenth anniversary of Colin Powell's speech to the UN Security Council about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction on February 5, 2003. It remains difficult for me to even think about the political climate of the year long run-up to the invasion of Iraq without feeling stabby...

◦The Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus will host its annual Black History Month celebration at 12:30 p.m. Feb. 13 in the Capitol Rotunda. The theme is “Political Pioneers.” The celebration pays homage to the several political “firsts,” including Colin Powell, Ronald H. Brown and Justice Sonia Sotomayor. In addition, the featured honorees will be Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American woman to be elected to Congress and first legitimate female African-American candidate for president, and Crystal Bird Fauset, a former West Philadelphia resident and the first African-American woman elected to the Pennsylvania State House. The program also will include musical performances, dramatic presentations, poetry and a historical re-enactment of the life of Shirley Chisholm by Ardie Brown of the Stuart Sisters performing arts troupe. A luncheon will follow.

There’s no mention of the extensive sections praising gun control, nor of the author’s appreciation for Piers Morgan, Dianne Feinstein, and President Obama. There’s nothing on his hatred for the NRA and Wayne LaPierre, whom Dorner calls a “a vile and inhumane piece of s***” whose defense of the right to bear arms justifies his “immediate and distant family” to “die horrific deaths in front of” him. There’s no reference to Dorner’s commendations of the “great work” of “Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper,” nor of his lionizing Ellen DeGeneres for her work in changing “the perception of your *** community.” Readers would not know that “Prop 8 supporters,” per Dorner, are “pieces of s***.” They’d have no idea that moderate Republicans are praised: George H. W. Bush, Jon Huntsman, Colin Powell are all singled out. None of the people that Dorner mentions are guilt ...

Watched the movie Fair Game about Valerie Plame & Joe Wilson getting railroaded by the Bush administration. Real life implications of fictionalized serial Scandal. Scooter Libby being convicted seems like a minor miracle, but of course you contend he became the fall guy. Colin Powell lying about WMDs and the push to make war based on false intelligence. Amazing to me that they survived not being harmed and kept their marriage intact. Ironic how the Obama administration gets a pass when they've has kept most of the Bush policies and people in place, including increasing drone attacks on civilians, but most Americans don't pay any attention to what our government does.

Ten years ago today, Colin Powell made the Bush administration's case for going to war against Iraq, and much of what he said was false. Most of the journalists who promoted his justifications for ...

In May 2001, Colin Powel Granted The Taliban $43 million Dollars in Foreign Aid. Proportedly after the destruction of the Poppy field and to deliver to 'starving farmers'. The Taliban destroyed the crops, almost immediatly dropping the worlds Heroin supply by 50%, however after the September 11th attacks, and the invasion, crops were planted and managed by the CIA, now Afghnistan produces 90% of the worlds Heroin. - interesting isnt it?

They need to make a Colin Powell movie

Bill O'Rielly interviewed Colin Powel, and as a part of the interview he asked Powel why he voted for Obama twice. If you look passed all the political niceties and ignore the political correctness, his answer, in plain English, roughly translated to "I voted for the Republican."

"Family, I think that white America, more than anything, fears Black people. That is just my opinion. But I think that it fears Black people and especially fears Black men. And thus they want to put us in a dress, in a prison or in a coffin. And so a Black man in the White House with the ability to send a drone or a Black ex-cop armed with heavy weapons or even a movie about a freed slave determined to seek justice for past wrongs must be rather unsettling to many. And, thus, conscious, strong, intelligent, masculine Black men who refuse to go along with the program must be terrifying to many, evoking thoughts of Nat Turner and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. What do you think? Have a great day!" ~ Runoko Rashidi

I agree with Colin Powell. If you are at all concerned with any meat product from a supermarket nowadays. Please please, use a quality butcher, their prices are always competitive and as a rule the meat quality is brilliant and they are always keen to help you with the best way to prepare it. As Colin and Alec use Tilburys we have found that the best quality and value reasonably close to us is 'The Butchers' on Lowther Road Dunstable. Excellent quality and really nice staff! Outstanding!

Colin Powell brought his cartoon drawings to the UN, 10 years ago today.

You learn something new every day. Colin Powell was a four star general and Ranger in The Army. Did not know that.

If the Bush administration's rush to war in Iraq still makes you angry, please watch (and share) this appearance by Roots Action's Norman Solomon on yesterday's Democracy Now!, marking the 10th anniversary of Secretary of State Colin Powell's infamous United Nations speech pushing for war. In his Democracy Now! debate with Colin Powell's then-chief of staff, Solomon expressed the revulsion millions of Americans feel for the dishonesty and duplicity that led to the carnage in Iraq – and that still promotes a militarist foreign policy today. If you haven't taken action already, please speak out about Obama's nominee to head the CIA: drone warfare enthusiast John Brennan. Brennan, who has denied the documented truth that U.S. drone strikes are killing many innocent civilians, is being questioned today in the Senate. At the end of the Democracy Now! segment, Norman Solomon and Powell's aide, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, seemed to agree that Brennan is the wrong person for the CIA job. Wilkerson commented tha ...

Joe Scarborough: GOP Needs Colin Powell If They Want To ‘Win National Elections’ : "Gen. Colin Powell has frustrated Republicans in recent years. He endorsed Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012, and recently took to the set of Meet the Press where he accused the GOP broadly of looking “down on minorities. He added, a “dark vein of intolerance” runs through the Republican Party – a political affiliation Powell still maintains. But if many Republicans are frustrated by Powell’s remarks, MSNBC host Joe Scarborough is not among them. He appeared on Hardball with Chris Matthews on Wednesday where he said that the GOP needs Powell and what he represents far more than it needs people like Republican candidates who lost statewide races in 2012 like Todd Akin or Richard Mourdock. Matthews outlined the problem conservatives face by listing a number of groups and demographic segments of society that he claimed had once been attracted to the Republican Party but have since abandoned the GOP. “How do you aba ...

GOP coming to Atlanta for ideas on diversifying : "According to my colleague Jim Galloway, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus is coming to the A-T-L tomorrow for a private conversation with black Republicans in the state, attempting to discover what the Grand Old Party can do differently to reach black voters. Given the demographic changes underway in Georgia and Atlanta’s historic role as a center of both the black middle class and the civil rights movement, it’s an appropriate place to have the conversation. The session is by invitation only, and is closed to the public. But it got me thinking: If you were in attendance, how would you advise Priebus? Why has the Republican Party — the party of abolition, of Abraham Lincoln, of Colin Powell and Condi Rice — found it so difficult to attract not just black voters but voters of almost any minority group, and more important, what can be done to change it? I’ve written repeatedly that the current division is not merely bad for the Republican Party, it’s ...

Okay I am just going to put this out there: Where is the Illuminati so I can sign up? First Sean Carter, then Kanye West; now Beyonce! Next it's Madysen Scott, Blue Ivy Carter and Eaux Design. All I'm saying is what does hard work, talent and success have to do with the Illuminati? When as African Americans do we say they did a good job because they worked hard for it? Our generation is such a jealous one! No one said "Michael Jackson, Prince, Michael Jordan, Cecil Fielder, Mike Tyson, Isaiah Thomas, Colin Powell, Luther Vandross or Baby Face was in the Illuminati!" Now if you make it you are a terrible sinner that worships Satan! So why isn't Nas, 3 Stacks, Eminem, Usher, Justin B, Robin Thicke, Joe, Brian McKnight, Kells, Kevin Durant, King James and Al Sharpton having the same kind of back lash?

A native of Memphis, Tennessee, he is perhaps best known as the photographer who always seems to get the “big shot.” His quiet shooting style and poignant images that focus on the subject’s eyes and hands is his trademark. With 25 years of professional experience and over 35 magazine covers to his credit, his work is now starting to be recognized in the fine art arena through his social-commentary black & white documentary photos. Johnson has taken exclusive photos of some of the world’s most recognizable people such as Princess Diana, Thurgood Marshall, Nelson Mandela, Clint Eastwood, Colin Powell, Dr. Dorothy Height, Bill Cosby, Oprah Winfrey, and Muhammad Ali. In over 16 years of freelancing, Johnson has amassed a rather impressive “partial” list of clients which include . ...

Nice! Developed a lot more respect for Du Bois after seeing the work he did for folks of ancestry, not only in America, but in unifying Africa under a banner of solidarity as well.

So in English class, I teach the works of Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, Malcolm X (with Alex Haley), Dr. King, and Maya Angelou. We briefly touch on Toni Morrison and Zora Neale Hurston. We analyze and discuss the social and historical impacts of the musical works of B.B. King, Billie Holiday, and Louis Armstrong. We discuss the impacts (and potential stereotypes) of famous members of "modern" contemporary visual media such as Wesley Snipes, Omar Epps, Tyler Perry, Bill Cosby, Katt Williams (cleaned up, of course), and Chris Rock. History and government classes discuss in detail the impacts of Rev. Jackson, Dr. King, President Obama, Colin Powell, Dr. Condoleeza Rice, Malcolm X, and Justice Clarence Thomas. History and science classes discuss the works and impacts of Benjamin Banneker, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, George Washington Carver, and Benjamin Bradley. And nearly all classes touch repeatedly on slavery, the Civil War, and the civil rights movement in some way. And this is the absolute minimum t ...

"I just looked into the eyes of an opossum. I saw the future, and it was good." - Colin Powell

The Power of Self-Education: Like many of my friends, family and other peers, in grade school, around this time during Black History Month, myself and others were all subjected to the learning of black history through the lens of the American education curriculum. This curriculum of "black history" was a bit of a rarity for standardized American education in general. For we were not only exposed of such history during the month of February, but we were also exposed to it during rare moments in American history highlighting the plight of slaves and former slaves to the well-known leaders of the Civil Rights Era up until the present. These leaders included Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglas, W.E.B. DuBois, black inventors such as Garrett Morgan and George Washington Carver, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Medgar Evars, and most recently, in conjunction with the education received via college academia, Gen. Colin Powell, Condelezza Rice and Sen. Barack H. Obama. And like many of my pe ...

Truth! It is about time freaking time ! In truth I know not all conservatives are like this but enough of them are.to make a difference!

Loving all the black history on my timeline . A lot from the late 1800s to early 1900s . Hopefully as the month progress we will celebrate the people MAKING black history ... Give them their roses while they are still alive... Gabby Douglas, Kerri Washington, Jamie fox, President Obama, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, Denzel Washington, Halle Berry.they are paving the way for the next generation as those early in did for them!

‘SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN LIE AND GET AWAY WITH IT’ — Donald Rumsfeld OpEdNews 4 February 2013 COLIN CONNED OR CON? By Ray McGovern A decade ago, President George W. Bush was hurtling toward an aggressive war against a country not threatening the United States. Only a few people had a chance to stop the rush to war with Iraq, but one — Colin Powell — instead joined the stampede. Cross-posted from Consortium News Ten years ago, Secretary of State Colin Powell addressed the United Nations in a speech which routed what was left of American resistance to the Bush/Cheney push for invading Iraq. The next day, the Washington Post’s editorial pages spoke for the conventional wisdom, filled with glowing reviews of Powell’s convincing arguments. Today, of course, we know that much of what Powell said on 5 Feb. 2003, was wrong. He himself has acknowledged that the speech was a “blot” on his record. We also know that then-CIA Director George Tenet and his deputy John McLaughlin knew full well that ...

Booker T. Washington, Colin Powell, Christopher "Kid" Reid & Williams. I have ALOT to live up to. =!=

love to hear the old coot and his listeners talk about how "if the were "black folks" they would be grateful for how much BETTER they have it today than during "slave days" and how Colin Powell "should be happy that he was given the chance to help this country." They also commented that *** illegal aliens should not be allowed to enter or stay in this country"... 8~/ amazink.

It's so funny to see the majority of people who supports Darien Long's terrorist tactics are either white people who's only image of the hood and those from the hood is what they see on tv. Or support is coming from self hating black males and females who thrive off of the exploitation of their own brothers and sisters for whatever sick reason.

Général Thomas-Alexandre Dumas (25 March 1762 – 26 February 1806) General Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, also known as Alexandre Dumas was the first black general in French history and remains the highest-ranking person of color of all time in a continental European army. He was the first person of color in the French military to become brigadier general, the first to become divisional general, and the first to become general-in-chief of a French army. (Colin Powell became a four-star general, the closest United States equivalent of General of the Army, Dumas's highest rank, in 1989.) Born in Saint-Domingue, Alexandre Dumas was the son of a white French nobleman, Antoine-Alexandre Davy, marquis de la Pailleterie, chevalier de Saint-Louis, extra-ordinary commissary with the artillery, and a black slave mother, Marie-Césette Dumas . He was born into slavery because of his mother's status but was also born into nobility because of his father's. His father took him to France in 1776 and had him educa ...

I think that Colin Powell is virtually the ONLY reputable/serious potential Republican candidate out there... because instead of being maniacally right wing, he's actually rather moderate. I don't think any other Republican candidate is electable... at least, not without stealing the election.

Lost amidst all the enconiums to Mayor Ed Koch on his passing is an item buried in his bio: Graduated from CCNY. He is yet another product of the university system that until the 1970s offered free college education to anyone who graduated from a NYC high school. It educated pepople such as Koch, Colin Powell, Paul Simon, Carol Klein (King), Marvin Hamlisch, just to mention a few. People who might not have been able to afford an education if they or their parents had to pay for it. This is not some small thing! For over 100 years, the City University system educated lower and middle class New Yorkers for minimal costs.

At least one of them admitted it. I always new it when I was a Republican, but I tried to tell myself it was a small minority in the party. Overtime I realized how prevalent it is.

David Turch and Associates Successfully Serving Our Clients Since 1987  January Newsletter   113th Congress, 1st Session A new Congress started on January 3.  The House and Senate met on that day as mandated by the 20th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.    On that day the House of Representatives voted for a Speaker of the House.  The vote was: 220 for Boehner, 192 for Pelosi, 3 for Cantor, 2 for Cooper, 1 for Lewis, 1 for Jordan, 1 for Colin Powell, 1 for Labrador, 1 for Amash, 1 for Dingell, 1 for David Walker, 1 voting “present” and 6 not voting.   It is interesting to note that during most elections for Speaker some members will defect from their own party.  There had been talk of a defection by about 20 conservative Republicans, which did not come to fruition.  Interestingly, the Speaker need not be a Member of Congress, which is why Collin Powell for example received a vote. Currently, there are: 232 Republicans, 200 Democrats, 0 Independents and 3 Vacancies ...

When asked how he felt about his son’s death, the man said with tears in his eyes “If we are going to enjoy our liberty in this country, I guess I have to be willing to let go of my son so that all of us can be free.

I spent 19 years as a registered republican. I was a moderate. Some of my heroes were GHWB, Eisenhower, Colin Powell, Chuck Hagel, Christine Todd Whitman, and John McCain. Sen. McCain has morphed into an angry old man. It's kinda sad to see.

Somebody help me out here because, as usual, I'm confused. First, let me say that I used to have a tremendous amount of respect for Colin Powell. Second, I do think Bill O'Reilly is a grade-A *** (I just wanted to clear that up). However, I have to wonder; does anyone on either side of the fence still take Powell seriously after his political 360? Honestly, is he still even slightly politically relevant? Where does his credibility come from? Keep in mind, he chose not to support moderate Democrats like Clinton, Gore, and Kerry (in favor of men who were MUCH more conservative) meanwhile he has thrown his support behind the most liberal president of our lifetime. Best case scenario Powell allowed Donald Rumsfeld's (mis)treatment over Iraq to totally defeat and break him (yes, the way Rumsfeld threw Powell under the bus was deplorable); worst case scenario is he is supporting Obama based on… what? Well, their records and politics sure don’t match, so what is the common ground here? It’s very hard ...

Colin Powell: Colin Powell, Greatly Benefited from Affirmative Action, and the Unparalleled Help of White Benefactors throughout his Entire life, and Military/Public Career. Powell, like Obama, Used the White System to Rapidly Advance and Enrich themselves. Powell's Smart Play was joining the Republican Party, Obama's was joining the Democratic Party; the Results are the same, They Gamed the System; and were/are Traitors to the Sacred Oath they took before God to Uphold and Defend The Constitution, and Faithfully Serve and Protect the Republic and We The People. Furthermore; it is my opinion that Powell and Obama are Racist, and use "the Race Card" at every opportunity to leverage and further their Unscrupulous Agenda. Some on FB, and from various other quarters, will Vociferously defend Powell's Military record; to my mind he was no George Patton, Norman Schwarzkopf, David Petraeus, Marine Corps Four Star General James Mattis, etc, etc. This is my opinion; What is yours?

Uncle Colin Powell another Sell Out In watching the interview with Colin Powell he like many other Americans that support today's Democratic ' Socialist " Party showed me what hypocrites they are. And please before some start spewing he served his country. Yes he once did but to me he now is just a sell out to the American People and especially those serving in our Military. He tried to say terms like Lazy and were racially offensive to those that feel the need to call themselves Minorities. I am not running for office and I call it like I see it. Many in the so called minority community especially those that support the Democratic Party are lazy and are the biggest bigots on the planet. Before some of you get all outraged and offended let me ask you this. How many of you know I am 50% American Indian by heritage. None of you . That is right because I see myself as an American . Do you call yourself a German American, A Greek American. How about a white American. or Red American. No in most cases we in th ...

Bill tell the truth, we are old school but schooled either way, we are tired of carrying dead weight people whom will never carry themselves and hearing it's our fault!!

Colin Powell may be bright & credited but he still thinks like a scorned, angry, sensitive anti-white black man, like Jackson & Sharpton.

Does it surprise you that Colin Powell still supports Obama?

I watched Colin Powell last night on the O'Reilly show. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Colin Powell as he pulled himself up by his bootstraps and never felt entitled. He explained his recent comments about the Republican Party and I had to agree with him. His explanation was rational, mature and spoken with a good deal of wisdom. The man's essential qualifications of integrity, humility, patriotism and leadership were obvious. Colin Powell has earned his respect the old fashioned way; not through a sense of entitlement but hard work and forward motion. Contrast this with the petty and immature leadership we have today and the way criticism is handled by this administration. Powell was able to handle himself because his leadership skills were forged in the real world and he has not forgotten the lessons along the way. Obama, on the other hand, is nowhere near the leader Colin Powell is. My only regret is Colin Powell declined running for president because he would have had my vote.

Someone please help me out here. I am a white middle aged woman from the mid west (Iowa) I watched Martin Luther King every chance I could. I cried the day he was killed. I firmly believe in his words "Content of Character not the Color of Ones Skin". I am not getting this over use of the term "racism". Colin Powell made a statement that Sara Palin was racist for using the term " Shucking and Jiving" My mom used to used those words when describing the Jitter Bug Dance of the 40s. She never used them as a racists statement. I am confused that words that were used in describing fondly dancing with my father, now 60 years later are racist. Maybe it just because Sara Palin used them. Also you can get sued if a white person talks in a Jamaican accent as in the Volkswagen Super Bowl commercial. What about reverse racism which I have experience many times. Is that acceptable. I was always taught to treat people well no matter what their race. I don't see race I see character. So help me out here, why ...

Bill O'Reilly asked Colin Powell a question during a recent interview that appeared to offend the former Secretary of State.

This piece was occasioned by Colin Powell's recent remarks on "Meet the Press" peddling the lie that the GOP lost the last two presidential elections because conservative voters are racists who have forced the party to become too conservative

Just saw amazing "debate"on Fox w/Brad Blakeman vs Alan Colmes re: Colin Powell vs GOP. Blakeman was asked to & DID feel guilty CP is upset.

Good Morning, Condifans 75,126 @ 0200 AZ time CURIOUSER AND CURIOUSER Said Alice as she noticed that Dennis Kusinich is now a Contributor to FoxNews, and that the brilliant Condoleezza Rice is a Contributor to CBSNews. Is a puzzlement. Meanwhile back at The Factor, its host tried to find out why Gen. Colin Powell, a Republican, supports President Obama. The general is a rather bluff straight shooter, and did not say very much about it. Billy O was bursting to get to his last point - Powell's statements at the UN concerning WMD's in Iraq before we invaded the couintry and disposed of Saddam Hussein. Yet the UN weapons inspectors found none and neither did our forces as we invested the country. The general was stolid and responded that the Bush admiinistration depended on the best intelligence available from the CIA et al, but he never was able to get to the reasons why there were none found. Saddam used WMD's, chemical agents, on his own people, so he must have had a goodly supply at some time. Rememb ...

In an exclusive and wide-ranging interview on Tuesday, Fox News' Bill O'Reilly asked former Secretary of State Colin Powell how he could vote for President Barack Obama twice as a Republican. Powell said it simply came down to the economic plans put forth by the Republican campaigns, which...

Shout out to GEN. Colin Powel this morning.

''A mirror reflects a man's facE,but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses''.Colin PoweL.

SO COLIN POWELL THINKS THE GOP IS RACIST? What I want to know is why doesn't Colin Powell come to the aid of conservative black leaders WHO REALLY ARE MISTREATED? Why didn't he stick up for Alan West and the 4,000 Democratic votes that showed up at the last minute, etc? Why doesn't he stick up for Tim Scott? Did he ever speak out against the racist cartoons about Condi Rice? NO- he only follows the liberal line that the GOP is racist. Ever hear Colin Powell praise the Tea Party for electing the first black in SC in 100 yrs or something? Did Colin Powell campaign for Mia Love? Did Colin Powell ever speak up in defense of Clarence Thomas? I can't recall him ever defending a fellow black republican. He could have done so much more to bring up black conservatives OR EVEN RINOs through the ranks.

Bill O'Reilly confronted Colin Powell tonight over his move to…

Colin Powell on oRiley. why doesn't he just admit he voted for Ob ama because Obama is black Powel is far too smart note to see Obama's agenda.

O'Reily looks like you got smoked by Gen. Colin Powel, as hard as you tried to steer his responses you failed miserably. Could it be you are simply wrong. Powel,s responses were concise and clear.

Colin Powell is kind of wrecking Bill O'Reilly at the moment.

Colin Powell just doesn't like being called "Uncle Tom" and "Rotten Banana" by Rev. Jackson and his racist cronies. He's a coward.

Watching Gun control Discussion on CNN...What i dont understand is...Do they even consider that Law Abiding Citizens wont be able to buy these guns..But the Criminals with have Super Fire Power...they wont turn theres in! The regular citizen will be at such a disadvantage if the cercomstance arises that they need to defend themselves and there attacker has a clip with 50 bullets...i guess we shoot our 7 and hope for the best!

Colin Power showed again while being interviewed by Bill O'Riely that all wel-fare slaves are equal in being racist. Any word he explained that put a black in a bad light is the same as saying *** He said that Sarah Palin referred to the President as Jiving. Jiving = *** Powel said. Doing a bad job if you say it equals saying *** See how by banning one word you loose the freedom of speech.

Colin powel just said that making people show I.D. to vote makes it hard for minorities and discourages them from voting. He says you should only have to show I.D. to register to vote, not when actually voting. If you have I.D. to register why is such a horrbile burden to bring that I.D. when you vote?

Colin Powell is trying to become Wesley Clark.

I guess Colin Powell forgot all the racist names the media and the Dems called him and Condi Rice while working for Republican Presidents.

"Maybe he (Colin Powell) is laying the groundwork to change parties." Monica Crowley -- Good riddance.

Remember Condi Rice, she was quite emotional when Obama won, but she's rational. Colin Powell can't control himself.

Bill O'Rliey is a smart man. Sitting here listening to him and Colin Powel argue is not for me. I had rather sit and watch paint dry than to ,listen to them argue back and forth!! Bout to panic to find the remote and zap!!

Colin Powell should run for president.

Colin Powell is on Fox News tonight - explaining how evil Republicans are. I've already thrown two shoes and a Braves hat at the tv. Discuss your thoughts here.

O'Reilly interrigates Colin Powell, live now on FNC...

Colin Powell says the economy is improving.did he drink the Kool- Aid?

Colin Powell on Oreilly right now. Should be good interview.

I FEEL LIKE BEING ANGRY - GONNA GO WATCH "THE FIVE"! At least the first few minutes, until I can't take it any more.

The United States Secretary of State, Colin Powell, on 9 September 2004 declared “that genocide has occurred in Darfur and that the government of Sudan and the Janjaweed bear responsibility, and that genocide may still be continuing.” The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, by unanimous vote o...

There has been a lot of liberal gushing and swooning lately saying that H. Clinton is the "Best" Secretary of State that we have ever had. There have been 67 Secretary's of State including John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, John Marshall, James Madison, John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Elihu Root, George Marshall, Dean Acheson, John Foster Dulles, Dean Rusk, Alexander Haig, Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, and others. So, Dems... why is Clinton better than these Folks. It's a simple question. And here's another question. What is the difference between Fact and Propaganda?

More than just a 'shero' of change, she influenced much of what the Civil Rights Movement has achieved to date; she believed that everyone should be respected despite his or her background and although her protestation was seen as controversial, it ignited the need for (positive) affirmative action. Today complacency 'has set in' as many feel that that the acquisition of 'material trappings' has somewhat resolved the issues of harmony and tolerance amongst peoples -evidence to the contrary is being 'played out' every day in the reality theatre of life.

the irony of today and the name col colin powel\general powell\war machine\first ever known leader to be a 100 percentile and run the military\proper definition of the word "MAN"\well respected uniform and "human being".i'm sure people get the picture & his CHILDREN: i have said it before and i'll say it again, i do not have any relation with the leader himself other than i respect his career. if anyone in canada wants to question me about his children or even go as far as asking me to help them analyze his screen name and why he writes articles that he is a "warrior", they can contact him or his sisters anytime they want and ask him themselves. officially speaking i have made videos thanking them for there moral support and i have found a truthful heart warmed respect that specific family. they are very nice people that like to be respected rather than feared. so in retrospect that is what i think of them and in respect to the general i hope and pray that at minimum he enters your names to nsa as securit ...

Equal Opportunity in the Military Equal Opportunity in the Military For much of its history, the U.S. military has been a testing ground for groups seeking inclusion in the mainstream of American society. Today, new groups, including women and homosexuals, are seeking equal treatment. Colin Powell, the retired chairman of the Joints Chiefs of Staff, is not only an African-American success story, but also a success story for the racially integrated military services. Born in Harlem, New York, Powell grew up with little thought about what he wanted to do in life until he joined the Reserved Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) in college. At once, he knew he was destined for a career in the military. Powell was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Army in 1958, just 10 years after racial segregation in the military had ended. Reflecting about this exciting time in his life, Powell wrote in his book, My American Journey: I was in a profession that would allow me to go as far as my talents would take me. And fo ...

Top 5 quotes from Colin Powell's address at Central Michigan University |

This is Wayne Reses reporting from the 2013 annual American Heritage Society (While the retreat is not open to the public, I was granted unprecedented access. As a devotee of both Grover Norquist (and the rest of the Republican leadership, and as one who has his capital invested in America's second to none capital markets, I was privileged to hear Norquist, Malkin, Limbaugh, Beck, Henry Paulson, Hank Greenberg, Tim Geithner, Rahm Emanuel, Gen. Colin Powel (ret.), Jim Cramer, Maria Bartolomo, Megyn Kelly, Bill O'Reilly, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, Sarah Palin, and some who are eluding me at the moment, speak at the American Heritage Society Conference on Wealth. We videotaped last week over a three day period that included policy sessions and relaxing events like duck hunts and moose felling. I was truly inspired and edified. The topic was re-connecting with voters for the next election and taking back both the legislative branch and the White House. One proposal that was floated (and urged by those who presen ...

"Some people drink the Kool-Aid but people like Al Sharpton, Chris Matthews and Colin Powell swim in it!!! SMH!!!

Have you watched Colin Powell's TEDx talk? Even working at a military academy, I find this thought-provoking.

..Colin Powell has given all America what Republicans are all about! Comes to one conclusion,...GOP will end up like the Whig Party!

I'm watching a round table discussion about the future of conservatism and I have two concerns. One, the audience is all White and all the talk is about returning to the days of Reagan. Wasn't this the foundation of the Republican primary? The ideas of Colin Powell and Bobby Jindal are the future of conservatism.

UNT getting all the Bush Admins. GW Bush, Robert Gates, and Condi Rice. Whos next *** Cheney and Colin Powell?

This is the list of embassy deaths since 9/11. Did Republicans object so vehemently to the Secretaries of State, Colin Powell and Condi Rice when these events happened? Why has this last one in Benghazi become so outrageous? Where was John McCain, Rand Paul and Ron Johnson and Fox News? 2002 - US Consulate in Karachi, Pakistan, Attacked 10 killed. 2004 - US Embassy Bombed in Uzbekistan 2 killed 9 injured. 2004 - Gunmen stormed US Consulate in Saudi Arabia 8 killed 2006 - Armed men attached US Embassy in Syria 1 killed 2007 - Grenade launched into US Embassy in Athens 2008 - Rioters set fire to US Embassy in Yemen 10 killed 2012 - US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya attached 4 killed.

How about questioning Condi Rice for 9/11, the Iraq war, multiple embassy attacks & Colin Powell for UN briefing?

Bobby Jindal, a star in the Republican Party just called his own party "The Stupid Party" Because of your many unsatisfactory policies and many times rediculous statements. Guess what we have been telling you that for a long time. I guess now you will turn on him as you did General Colin Powell and Gov Chris Christie also both Republicans. I've been telling you you're in denial!!! I rest my case!!!

Nomination stirring up buzz, but analysts say diplomatic leadership from Madeleine Albright, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Hillary Clinton have left a mark

“Veteran of the year, 2011 he's honoring the wrong leaders for USA-Colin Powell, Wesley Clark...?

I will be on the first train to Canada if that *** (Rand Paul) ever gets elected president. I wonder if he would have fired Condi Rice, or Colin Powell, or *** Cheney, or GWB for the way they handled or mishandled the 2 wars and over 6000 dead Americans between 9/11 and their 2 wars?

Coming up on this chilly, Friday morning: An Emmet County man had a rude awakening yesterday, when he discovered his house was on fire! He made it out alive, but what are the damages... And-Central Michigan University welcomed a former US Secretary of State to their campus last night. Retired Four Star General, Colin Powell spoke to a packed house at McGuirk Arena. We'll tell you all about his speech. Plus--one Detroit woman's track record at work could put us all to shame. Jolene Jeske tells us more in News Around Michigan, about the woman who has never missed a day of work, in her 44 years working there. Its all starting at 4:30 AM, on Michigan this Morning.

"GOP's SURPRISING EDGE ON DIVERSITY" - John Avlon, CNN.com: QUOTE: Everybody knows the Republican Party is basically an all-white bastion, right? After all, even Colin Powell condemned the "dark vein of intolerance" that has flowed through his party since the post-civil rights era political realignment. Now with President Barack Obama leading the Democrats into a second term--buoyed by overwhelming victory margins among African-Americans and Hispanics--it's clear the GOP has some serious catching up to do. This is why it might surprise you to hear that Republicans are by far the more diverse party when it comes to statewide elected officials such as senators and governors. On this front, they leave Democrats in the dust. And that's why the GOP actually has a greater depth of diversity on their potential presidential bench looking to 2016 and beyond. (END QUOTE) It's counterintuitive but true. And it is true: Republicans outnumber Democrats among Hispanic governors (2-0), Indian-American governors (2-0), . ...

Colin Powell coverage, via What did you think of the speech?

"What difference, at this point, does it make?” (spoken by Hillary Clinton on 1/24/13). A caller to the Rush Limbaugh show (yes, I listen to him sometimes) asked - what would have been the response if Nixon had said that after Watergate (where no one was murdered). What would have been the response if Colin Powell had said that after no WMD's were found in Iraq? The news media would have crucified them but Hillary gets a pass.

Colin Powell's about to tell CMU what's up 👏👏👏

Depends on who's in charge, doesn't it? Why weren't the GOPsters condemning Condi Rice or Colin Powell?
