broke numerous color barriers in his life but carry on
Why does "breaking color barriers" matter if ultimately you're a preserver of the status quo
and low key the fukking villain in the story ?

IDK about you breh but if "breaking color barriers" is a good thing when we're talking about Black People
being state sanctioned mass murderers then I think it's time we reflect on what actually is "progress" and
whether or not THAT kind of progress is a good thing.

@Bunchy Carter Believes it's c00n activity to NOT support war criminals who get thousands of people killed.
Not sure why you’re trying to act like some moral paragon when you’re shytting on a man when he’s dead. Powell got us into Iraq sure but he isn’t directly responsible for the occupation which led to all the deaths

If you don’t want people accurately telling the truth about your legacy in death maybe you shouldn’t do horrible shyt while ur alive.

Your lack of understanding of the law doesn’t change the fact that he and the rest of the Bush cabinet did break international law and commit a war crime

The cries for civility from certain groups are dumb. Especially for a man who couldn’t be bothered to show the same kind of civility while working with the Bush administration to get half a million people killed in an illegal war that broke UN charter.

What a luxurious position to be in where all you can see is you own point.

Takes like this are why the “good guys” can’t win.

It doesn’t resonate with real people.

In real life Powell was a role model to many and his legacy is defined by his self admitted mistakes and how he reacted to them.

On the internet and in progressive media he’s a war monger with no redeemable value and we need to spit on his grave.

And you guys wonder why the “good guys” can’t carry the South and are losing support from people who literally have no choice but to vote for you?

Be tone dead and unable to shut the fukk up bruhs.

He was a soldier, and a civil servant, and not an elected official or community activist. You might want to do some self reflection on the people you elected.

I respect the war criminal argument, it's valid, but he was a black man that made it through the ranks, I respect that also . Rest in Peace
i think this is a pretty reasonable take. i dont give a fukk about him, but i understand people cant help having emotions if they are so inclined. i still listened to 'wiggy wiggy' even after i heard what SPM had done
