Powell has said he might very well vote for Obama this election but is still undecided.

He has never declared himself a republican or democrat as far as I can tell. Even during his interviews a few years ago when rumor was high as to whether he would "toss" his hat into the race for president, he never would say he was democrat or republican.

As for not having a "white-something day"...just about every major holiday, especially the ones observed due to religion, are white holidays. Chaunakah/Christmas, Easter/Passover, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick's Day, Independence Day--all have white Anglo-Saxon roots, in terms of being formed & celebrated as a holiday as we know it today. The blacks have Kwanzaa, MLK Day, and the whole month of February (the shortest month) for Black History month. The Hispanics get Cinco De Mayo. I really don't think white people have a point when they bring this up, it's embarrassing to me as a white person when someone says, "I'm not racist, but..." and then proceeds to make a point like that. It's stupid and racist at it's core, no matter how much you tell us it's not.

first off I just want to point out a few things here, 1. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, the lord and savior of all mankind, 2. Easter is the day of rememberance that Christ gave his life for all of mankinds sins 3. Thanksgiving is the celebration of Christopher Columbus discovering America 4. Independence Day is the celebration of Independence from England 5. St. Patties day I have no clue why we celebrate it, I think it's just an excuse for people to get hammered
None of the first four holidays can be considered white holidays Christmas and Easter are for all believers white, black, purple or whatever color you are. Thanksgiving and Independence Day are for citizens of the United States of America and yes that includes Blacks, Mexicans, Chinese, whoever, if you are an Ameican citizen these holidays are for you. I'm not even gonna touch the whole Black history month or any of the recognized holidays Black Americans celebrate because people can't talk sensible when it comes to race.

That's 5 of you I got. It's not racist when it's convenient for you, it's extra-racist when it works against the ones you pull for.

Thanks for playing. </div></div>
you got caught in your own point, don't try and play it off like you were playing some "game" man up and admit you put your foot in your mouth
