Apparently, four-star general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell isn't immune to Fox News' absolute commitment to perpetuating as many black stereotypes as possible. This is the headline of a recent Fox story:
Hip-Hop-Dancing Colin Powell Fuels Speculation He'll Endorse Obama
Beware America. Your favorite Negro has been hanging out with other negroes and their negroness has been rubbing off. As for Powell, he has the right idea:
Powell -- who has yet to back a candidate -- told the audience: "I stand before you as an African-American. Many people have said to me you became secretary of state of the USA, is it still necessary to say that you are an African American or that you are black? And I say yes, so that we can remind our children."
Clearly, some people don't need to be reminded.
