Colin Powell was Secretary of State, four star General and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.  The same Colin Powell who has a significant amount of Irish, Scottish and even Ashkenazi JEWISH ancestry? ;)    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...p_Scheffer.jpg Just look his skin is barely any darker than the White man standing to his right. Great example of a Black man. It seems like all of the successful Black people are always half breeds and quadroons. Except for the ones who are successful because they are good at sports or are singers and rappers hawked by the media 24-7.
