Romney Surrogate: Colin Powell Endorsed Obama Because He’s Black
One of the most racist theories to come out of the Obama era is that blacks are only supporting President Obama because he’s black. Were white 
people supporting Clinton, Carter, or Reagan because they were white?
To say that a black person is only voting for Obama because he’s black discounts the ability or desire of black people to weigh the issues, and make the same thoughtful considerations that every other electorate makes. But the chorus of people saying, ‘blacks only vote for Obama because he’s black’ began in the 2008 election cycle, and unhinged Romney surrogate John Sununu is again picking up that talking point.
During an interview with CNN’s Piers Morgan, Sununu was asked about Colin Powell’s endorsement of President Obama, and again, went for the low hanging fruit. Here’s the exchange:
SUNUNU: You have to wonder whether that’s an endorsement based on issues or that he’s got a slightly different reason for President Obama.
MORGAN: What reason would that be?
SUNUNU: Well, I think that when you have somebody of your own race that you’re proud of being President of the United States — I applaud Colin for standing with him.
Given that Sununu is the same guy who said President Obama doesn’t know how to be a real American, and called Obama lazy and “not that bright” after the first debate, it’s not a stretch to say that Sununu just might be a not so closeted racist. What is striking is that the Romney campaign has never reigned him in for his remarks. That says more about the Romney campaign than it does Sununu.

On wall of Daryl Ward.Written after statement re.Colin Powell
I THINK THIS GUY SUNUNU LIKES TO BE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. HE KEEPS MAKING IGNORANT STATEMENTS AND MAYBE SOME OF HIS FAMILY MEMBERS MAY NEED TO HAVE HIM CHECKED OUT FOR A DISEASE CALLED (HATE). IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OF THE TEA PARTIERS HAVE THE DISEASE AND THEY CANNOT SEEM TO HELP THEMSELVES.
This is a case of reverse psychology and all out denial. If you really take this apart in the cases of most accusations according to the GOP and Tea Party mentality, it turns out that much of what is accused by them is done largely by them. This illustrates the perspective of denial in which they refuse to acknowledge the accountability they have for their own biases and/or partisanship stances. In large part, the republican party as of late has been the party of hate and fear and continues to perpetuate falsehoods as truths until the cognitive dissonance becomes so bad that one cannot tell the truth from a lie in their speech anymore thereby illustrating the lack of credibility anyone with that mindset contains. This is quite interesting because if Republicans had really known what they had, they probably would have had the Black vote this entire time, however they do not care to be surrounded by anyone other than those that bear a similar resemblance to them.
THE GOP PARTY IS SO PETTY
Maybe Gen. Powell can see right thru Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s nonsense….no matter what race, creed or color. I am not even a GENERAL…have not travelled all around the world…but I see thru them like glass. Powell stated his reasons for endorsing Obama…and that should be sufficient.
Why should we expect racist whites to say anything else when Boyce Watkins & his side kicks have been drumming the same
spiteful remarks in nearly every one of his Newsletters??
Some people will vote for prez because he is black,,,SO WHAT. Why do we let white people try to tell us how and what to think and do..
Just like people like Sununu who have a higher standard for others, than they have for themselves. Ok, I am persecuted with guilt, YES I VOTED FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BLACKER THE BETTER. I WANT HIM SO BLACK THAT HE SWEATS CHOCOLATE!!!! satisfied now, LOL.
I think we are all missing the boat. When the Republican party went to war to save the union, the blacks were freed. The Southern Dixie Democrats were so outraged, they infiltrated the Republican party and has grown over the years to become the tea party. There are still some Democrats who wear the racist badge for the Dixie Democrats, but hide this fact, for votes. Neither of these parties are the true party for Blacks, but we take the lesser of two evils. Conservative and most Moderate Democrats are really former Republicans, upset about the infiltration of the racist Democrats into their party. We can only look to our lord and put mind over matter. I agree, black unemployment has always been high, our health as always been worse, slavery was not a good thing. it was the only time in history when we not only had the lowest unemployment percentage, it was the only unpaid employment percentage. We need to “kill” the servant mentality, for the good of our people.
I VOTED for the POTUS because I believe that he will continue to move this country FORWARD . Romney scares me he has too many secrets and that makes me very uncomfortable.
and Sununu Is a racist that have came out of the closet.
Black people be honest. You know that black people are supporting Obama because he is black. What you are overlooking is that it was white people who believed the hype about Obama 4 years ago. President Obama did not deliver so these white folks are saying “on to the next one”. But we black folks will sit on this non-productive Democrat plantation and keep giving them our vote – NO MATTER WHAT!
