And yet who pulled the trigger to invade Iraq??? Based on the assassination attempt of his father???

Is that suppose to absolve him of any blame for what all transpired :usure:

He was complicit in what happened and that's always going to be part of legacy whether you're willing to agree with or not.

Doesn’t matter, he didn’t start the war. You should be blaming the CIA.

To be honest I have mixed feelings about dude. He broke a lot of barriers in his lifetime, but he also co-signed one of the worst acts of American imperialism in my lifetime and he fell on the sword for white supremacy. My condolences though to his family who lost a brother, father, and grandfather.

He didn’t break any barriers that the Uncle Toms of old didn’t already break when they went in the masters house to dance. If Colin was a man worth remembering he would have shook the place up. Instead we see a man who acknowledged his blackness in 2007 when he endorsed another horrible traitor, Obama.

What makes you think he was mislead ?

He presented the evidence he was given. I read the intercept piece and have yet to see where he was an architect of the war or the lie.

So it seems like he trusted his sources too much and it was disastrous for the world and him personally.

Good lesson for any Black man in corporate America.
