“Racism still exist,” Gen. Powell says. “We have to make sure that our top leadership especially the president of the United States has to be an example to the rest of the country that we are one nation, one people.”

Aside from Jimmy Carter, I can't think of a single good example, and no not Obama. He bailed out Wall St while locking up the protestors, escalated the war on Muslim countries, and expanding spying on US Citizens. I don't expect Biden to be any better.

Racism will always exist 🙄

Yeah check these out, this is Biden words

Yes ! As long as you think and say what Powell agrees with you get a tick

If you think it exists then maybe it is you that are racist

That's right. JoeBiden is your man? Stupid establishment.

pandaluver365 A POTUS abusing his/her position/authority… bully pulpit... the White House… to stoke racism… promote white supremacy... should be an impeachable offense… seriously… I don’t see any argument against it… Trump is a serious threat to Americans, and to US national security…

Federalism protects TheDemocrats oppression on the people of their cities. The ones that afford to will flee, and the ones that cannot are stuck suffering under DNC foot. Maybe realDonaldTrump should go in bull these corrupt Dems out of the city!

All I can say is Jesus saves and says we should love and forgive each other as he has forgiven us our trespasses.

You should have spoke up sooner?

I don’t see how people who deliberately shut themselves off from the REAL WORLD could form any opinions about what’s going on in it, and how to live in it. I want a second opinion. And hear BOTH sides of the story.

Powell how many of my Vietnam friends died from Cancer because of Agent Orange ? Remember what you told Congress? You are no soldier..!!!..many died because of you...soldiers don't let other soldiers died....Sad man

...Provide Leadership... good thought General Powell... How about we start with you? What do you think about child whose their father abandoned him before the baby was even born? What chance of success do you think that child has?

44 presidents didn’t do anything about it. Don’t cry about the 45th one now too.

Kimberly_FedUp Colin Powell prefers warcriminals. Why is anybody listening to Colin Powell?

Lol ... yeah, dude

Such bs

Yes. Racism does exist. By (1) Power hungry anarchists who just want to destroy America (2) Black supremacist bigots wanting to try to control & kick around the “white devil” (3) Emotionally needy losers seeking attention/approval by groveling to POC

He is.

Minneapolis in 1950....pop of 100,000 ( nordic ancestory ) Now dump 500,000 muslim ppl from nigeria into the city. Then one group says racist, and the other group claims that the invaders are destroying the city's culture. Note: nations & ppl have right to keep their culture

Says bushes dancing bear

Focus on street patrol hand over major crime to state and feds mo more undercover or expensive intel units ....murder b/e forensics state or federal agencies

There is a lot we have to change and it starts off with our own mind. We need a positive mindset before we can go do anything. We then have to change ourselves before we can change the world.

And President Obama was as devisive a President as we’ve ever had. I didn’t see his administration do a damn thing for inner city schools, violence, racism. Nothing!

Good Moral standings.

Good luck with that.. dude is still saying “the blacks”...

As much as I respect your stance now, but u were another enabler invading a country never had offended or done any harm to you.

(Day late 1$ short) Trumps escalator speech 2015, total Muslim ban, Gop's pandering and hiring of white nationalist and other suppremist groups of very fine people , treating of immigrants and caging kids. Just sayin 🐒 45 and GOP have always been intolerant of people of color

2 my father never eat in a restaurant or went a movie. Wore patched pants to work. Family first

Why is it the super successful ones( usually mixed parentage) cry about racism. Work that’s all you have to do. Some more then others. I grew up in the prejudice of being a immigrant but my parents worked and with low paying jobs were more successful then there American peers.

POTUS is an example to ALL citizens unlike every Dem. Highest unemployment rates and highest wages EVER.

This exactly. No matter what, a president has to do their best for the entire country. Not scorn most of it and incite the few against the rest. Trying to bring them all together, not to separate them as much as you can.

Any thinks trump fits the bill, anyone?

A President, our Conressional members, top officials, must have moral integrity and represent ALL Americans.

Of course it does now Since blacks are the new racist,Wouldn't off seen that coming but its here, blm movement is racist, Remember this is a equal world So white people if a black person calls you racist you can play the race card to 'you calling me racist cause I'm white'

Trumps base hate color but go do stupid ish just to be behind bars with the ones they hate for life or years. They get sick from this virus and a white Dr or black Dr even Hispanic Dr could save there life. And they don't hesitate to save them even if they know what they stand 4

I guess it was racism that promoted him to gerneral. It must have been racism the appointed him as Secretary of State

Well SAID

He’s right. People are increasing racism against whites every day. It’s awful.

Will never happen. !!!! Til President Biden takes over !!!

That face 😳

Like the iraq's mass destruction weapons

'Racism still exist' Powell is full if shit! He lied to the American people about WMD'S

Trump is the President of white Republicans in red states.

YES Racism still exists...... perfect example.......BlackLivesMatter Terrorists organization

We are not one people. We are a Nation of many cultures and religions. The AMERICAN WAY has been sharply altered over the years. People are forgetting exactly what freedom and justice mean.

Powell: trump has no authority to tell schools when to open. He has no grasp of the limits of his power.

It does exist. BLACK FOLKS ARE RACIST AF. NUMBERS DON'T LIE.

It was nice to see JoeBiden speech yesterday...felt a sense of safety and peace♥️🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸♥️

We are a nation of many cultures today.

No redemption for this sellout.

Racism will always exist as long as people keep talking about it..as long as we allow people to keep dragging the past into the future to be used as an excuse for bad behavior.

Let get back to the good old war days. NOT

Picking at scabs. America is the least racist country on the planet. Name one country or continent that hasn’t had bad history.

There will never be a UNITED STATES !!! Never !! Sad but true !

Racism is ignorance, hate.

This country myried in bigotry which starts in the home. We learn at Because parents talk about differences social class, differences in ethnicities otherwise. Kids don't know who is rich or who poor! I.e. my first mother - in - called Blacks Coons, Jews called Kikes.

Well, don took to GOP or Trump for that leadership , rather the opposite and then they have Candace Owens denying racism or slavery ever existed. Apparently life is hoax to this bunch

Powell remember the speech seeing on history Channel about Iraq and their?

ArlieOnce Racist...

ArlieOnce Racist...

RacismCrimeAgainstHumanity! Ignorance and prejudice are the handmaiden of propaganda. Our mission therefore is to confront ignorance with knowledge, bigotry with tolerance and isolation with the outstretched hand of generosity. Racism can, will and must be defeated KofiAnnan!!!

He can be trusted. Its not like he lied about weapons of mass destruction and help start a war with a Country that had nothing to do with 9/11.

I’m not white but yeah, racism will continue and it will never go away :) with all what the BLM acting up, definitely, racism will never ever go away :)

It exists because you people started it. Change your narrative and change the country. Asshats

Mass Murder by Faking 'weapons of mass destruction' should be a war crime

Oh listen to the proven liar and murderer.

Stop making racism a issue for the poor besot black people. Racism exists too for the white people more than ever, it's just made a taboo subject because people are afraid to say the word and breech the subject for fear of being pursecuted by the public! I'm not afraid!🇺🇸❤️💙👊

in a few months former President Obama will have a halo.

dream on.

Why is it that all of the richest and most powerful black men and women in America are the ones complaining the loudest about so called racism, when they are proof the America allows minorities to rise to great levels of wealth and power?

Pence needs to do his job as head of task force and get more PPE to those hospitals that are overwhelmed in Texas and Arizona and others as needed Stop talking and do it
