In 2002, well known leftest whacko, Harry Belafonte, accused Colin Powell of being a house slave as he pushed the Bush administration’s policies regarding Iraq. In an interview, Belafonte said:
“There’s an old saying,” Belafonte said in that interview. “In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and there were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master … exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him.”
Belafonte refused to apologize or adjust his position during an interview with Larry King.
Now comes the story that Colin Powell may endorse Barack Obama and explain his endorsement at a speech during the DNC convention:
Sources say former Secretary of State Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention, Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol told FOX News exclusively on Wednesday.
"He may well give a speech at the Democratic convention explaining his endorsement of Obama," Kristol, a FOX News contributor, said, citing inside sources.
If you’re African American and don’t toe the leftist line you’re labeled an “Uncle Tom.” Would Belafonte now call Powell “Spartacus?”
What are the odds on a Belafonte apology if Powell does endorse Obama?
