He fought in the war and was against invading the Middle East, because he knew it wasn't going to be as easy as what the bush administration was thinking. Remember people he actually was the only person in the Administration who been in a war. That is the reason why Condelezza replaced him, because he didn't go along with the plan. Side note he didn't get along with VP Chaney either.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20591146</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:29:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20591146</guid><dc:creator>Imlegend</dc:creator><description>What's ironic is people hating on Colin Powell, but without him in politics you don't get have Obama in the position he's in right now. Now he is more behind the scenes, because of politics. When going to war I'd take the advise of someone who's been there and done that. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Powell tried to talk Bush out of war &amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;THE former American secretary of state Colin Powell has revealed that he spent 2&amp;#189; hours vainly trying to persuade President George W Bush not to invade Iraq and believes today’s conflict cannot be resolved by US forces.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“I tried to avoid this war,” Powell said at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado. “I took him through the consequences of going into an Arab country and becoming the occupiers.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Powell has become increasingly outspoken about the level of violence in Iraq, which he believes is in a state of civil war. “The civil war will ultimately be resolved by a test of arms,” he said. “It’s not going to be pretty to watch, but I don’t know any way to avoid it. It is happening now.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He added: “It is not a civil war that can be put down or solved by the armed forces of the United States.” All the military could do, Powell suggested, was put “a heavier lid on this pot of boiling sectarian stew”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;According to Powell, the US cannot “blow a whistle one morning” and have all American forces just leave. The former secretary of state has twice met Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, to advise him on foreign policy. Despite his antiwar stance, Obama supports a phased withdrawal that could leave a “significantly reduced force” in Iraq for “an extended period”.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20591206</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 13:52:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20591206</guid><dc:creator>I am Wyldfyer</dc:creator><description>Um soooooooooooo what makes Colin Powell a sellout? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You see how some of you do? &amp;nbsp;Thats EXACTLY what the Slave master, Willie Lynch and others, wanted our community to do when someone reaches a certain level...MISDIRECTION. &amp;nbsp;So now kids will think its NOT cool to get to such a high level. &amp;nbsp;And you know what happens next? &amp;nbsp;Our kids DONT wanna get to such a high level. &amp;nbsp;THEN, we associate a certain level of success with being a &amp;quot;SELLOUT&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;So basically you call the crab that makes it out of the barrow a &amp;quot;SELLOUT&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;If he reaches back in to oull you out too, YOU PULL HIM BACK IN INSTEAD!!! &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If you do your research, you'd see that Colin Powell and his Wife are some of the biggest supporters of HBCU's and even sponsor scholarships. &amp;nbsp;He was retired and serving his ppl when Bush asked him to serve on his cabinet. &amp;nbsp;He wasnt going to do it at first but then decided to. &amp;nbsp;At THAT moment, we had the highest ranking black official EVER!!! &amp;nbsp;But he's a sell out? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then he RESIGNS after he figures that there is some fishy-ness to the US intelligence system. &amp;nbsp;That was admirable. &amp;nbsp;This particular story says that he even tried to convince Bush NOT to go to war. &amp;nbsp;That was admirable. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;On another note, he do look hecka light in THIS picture but that dont mean anything. &amp;nbsp;He reps being black even though he could probably pass. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope thats not an issue because in reality, Barack is only HALF black AND he is NOT a decendent of AFRICAN AMERICANS!!!</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20591346</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:40:45 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20591346</guid><dc:creator>Killuminati 187</dc:creator><description>Fuck Colin Powell.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20591392</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 14:52:53 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20591392</guid><dc:creator>DC CA$HVILLE</dc:creator><description>@Colin Powell&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Where is the video? &amp;nbsp;I need evidence.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Peace and more hair grease,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20592251</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 18:34:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20592251</guid><dc:creator>Shutup Im talkn</dc:creator><description>First off Colin Powell is (was) a sellout. Not for being part of the Bush regime,thats a job. Not for siding with the invasion of Iraq, cuz he was goin off what he knew. What makes (made) him a sellout was his stance on affirmative action, and his comments that blacks need to &amp;quot;pull themselves up by their bootstraps&amp;quot;. Sooo, what do you do if you don't have boots? And why is that type of statement always directed at us when, no other race has had to do it? Infact the so called &amp;quot;jews&amp;quot; and the Irish and Italians got on partially by helping to block our efforts to organize and attain economic and political power, it wasn't just in the south. BUT what I got from the article is maybe after all his experiences, he's gained some understanding about his and all blacks and Africans place in this world.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20592266</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 18:39:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20592266</guid><dc:creator>Shutup Im talkn</dc:creator><description>@ yamoley you say Obama's an extreme leftist like thats a bad thing, or are your views that of the conservative &amp;quot;right&amp;quot;.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20592457</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 19:44:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20592457</guid><dc:creator>TonyMalibu</dc:creator><description>I think Powell was just caught up...I don't think he ever sold out. &amp;nbsp;There were times where he'd be speaking and dude looked like he was carrying the world on his shoulders.&lt;br&gt;He must have been relieved when he stepped down from his position.&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20592739</link><pubDate>Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:37:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20592739</guid><dc:creator>Akaneon1</dc:creator><description>Colin Powell isn't a sellout, look at his background, you'll see the man was dirt poor and pulled himself up from poverty to be where he is now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When he says 'pull yourselves up by your bootstraps', he means 'get off welfare, go to college, get a job, work hard, by any means necessary'. It's the same sentiment echoed by Martin and Malcolm, and the same 'get money' sentiment echoed by the hood, but when Powell says it somehow he's a sellout, because he's got mad bucks. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When a rapper has mad bucks, it's cool man, you say 'look at the money', but when you look at someone like Powell, you're hatin'?

When people get comfortable they kick their feet up and take things forgranted. I don't mind either program, but we need to use them responsibily. The older generation came up by going through some of the worst bs to get where they are now. That's why he said what he said. In 1995 there were about 5 black marine corps generals in the USMC, I met 3 of them and they made me proud. One of them was General Bolden who was the first black marine corps astronaunt, he later went on to be a head of a department at NASA. General Stanley who was on the cover of jet magazine went on to be a 3 star general. Nothing was giving to these men therefore nothing could be taking away! Point blank you want the best person for the job period. If you were going on a flight would you look at the color of the pilot or his or her credentials. I was always told to work twice as hard to get noticed half as much. No disrespect to anyone at all.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20596068</link><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 23:11:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20596068</guid><dc:creator>Shutup Im talkn</dc:creator><description>The reason why we so fucked up right now, is mu'fuckas don't listen and pay attention. FIRST OFF! Malcolm and Martins philosophy was not pull yourself up, but, us pull us up. 2NDLY! The point Im making is we're always told to do for self as individuals, &amp;quot;get yours&amp;quot;, yet always complaining about we can't stick together, when unity is how other races thrive. We are the only people who subscribe to this bullshit ideal and it undermines us. You may here some older whites claim that they pulled themselves up, but for 1 they were never down, and 2 this system is designed for them to achieve success. And while some use welfare and affirmative action as a crutch, a person who benefited from it has alot of nerve telling someone else they need to do it alone. Plus why do you think so many of us don't try to do shit, we have a fear instilled in us to only do what we think is allowed or that we'll be able to get away with. We as a people have a great deal &amp;nbsp;of work to do, as a people, to overcome our deficiencies and reach our true potential. However going solo is only going to get us what its always gotten us, a few get through, while the vast majority fail and get labled trifiling and lazy. No disrespect to anyone at all.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20598770</link><pubDate>Sat, 18 Oct 2008 23:30:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20598770</guid><dc:creator>Akaneon1</dc:creator><description>You can't pull each other up unless you pull yourself up.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Martin and Malcolm both had a habit of referring to the following biblical passage which says:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;First pull the log out of your own eye [before you pull the spec out of your brother's eye]&amp;quot;. There is a similar passage in the Koran.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Let me dispel any rumors of supposed 'unity' amongst any race right now.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;White people aren't unified. Hispanics aren't unified, Asians aren't unified. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;If anything, African Americans and in general black people are MORE unified than white people are. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why are there like 8 times as many broke, jobless white people? Once you stop trying to make it a per capita issue and twist numbers around, and look at the big picture, you'll see it's not a racial issue. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You need to stop saying &amp;quot;I can't win because I'm (insert disqualification/personality flaw/ethnicity/disability/race&amp;quot;. Winners don't say that shit man.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The reason you're losin' isn't because life isn't unfair. Life is unfair yeah. But how come there are guys in wheelchairs, missing legs and still finding jobs to do? &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A decent portion of people are trifling and lazy. They just are. They blame the fuckin' economy or some other random shit for their inability to bust their asses and get jobs, or start businesses, or go for broke.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;People like that [lazy people], we don't fuckin' need em in our society. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This isn't a black issue or a white issue, which is why Colin Powell is important. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Colin Powell came from the slums, the ghetto, the gutter, worked his ass off, had a successful military career, joint chiefs of staff, came up from nothing, dirt poor, working class like you or me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Barack Obama was born into a relatively wealthy family, went to law school, became a lawyer and is generally closer to that 'elite' that is usually full of suit and tie white guys that I don't like, and you don't like.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Who do you respect more? Like it's even a fuckin' choice?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Powell for the win...</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20599172</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2008 03:05:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20599172</guid><dc:creator>drewhood</dc:creator><description>if this man endorses obama i take my previous comment back</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20600315</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2008 16:24:15 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20600315</guid><dc:creator>Imlegend</dc:creator><description>Colin Powell just endorsed Obama, word was he was asked to postpone his endorsement due to the embarrassment of the Republican party failures until after the bailout plan was signed off on.</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20600830</link><pubDate>Sun, 19 Oct 2008 22:31:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20600830</guid><dc:creator>drewhood</dc:creator><description>OK....COLIN POWELL IS DA MAN!!!!!!!</description></item><item><title>re: Colin Powell Raps At African Festival</title><link>http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/10/15/20588359.aspx#20603747</link><pubDate>Mon, 20 Oct 2008 20:22:57 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20603747</guid><dc:creator>Shutup Im talkn</dc:creator><description>BROTHER I DON'T READ ABOUT LIFE I LIVE IT.
