Closest thing to a "problack" republican I can think of.
Saw Africa as home, never said slick shyt about African people on the continent nor diaspora.

Principled on republican...

• strong military
• free market

Passed on republican...

• social agenda
• racial politics

...shyt, they was even trying to get bruh to run for president at one point.




EDIT:

2016

There's some Black Republicans/Conservatives out there that I respect.

The only one I can vouch for on a national level is Colin Powell ...with all his faults


He approaches the republican platform from an angle most black(or white) republicans doesn't. In the sense that he seems to be more economically republican without buying into alot of the anti-black(racist) rhetoric that comes out of that wing.

I still remember an interview he did were he talked about always thinking of Jamaica as home but after experiencing Ghana he reaffirmed that Africa is ultimately his home of
origin. Most(not all) of these "black republicans" want to be apart of america so bad they would be on some "I'm not African ...I'm American" bullshyt.(as though those two things are adversarial)
That's like saying "I'm not a movie goer ...I'm an American" or "I'm not a father ...I'm an American"



To many lose me right then and there on the rampent c00ning and wanting to be apart of other peoples shyt(that's something on both sides actually).

EDIT 2:
On second thought Obama went and..

• bombed
• further destabilized
• essentially assisted the Libyan coup
• and left Africans to Arab slave markets

...so I'm not entertaining anything from pro Obama dems regarding Powell. What ever reservations I have about powell(and I do have them) in total Powell is waaaay down the shyt list compared to others. Especially as someone primarily concerned about the global African family.



EDIT 3:
How Powell helped Haitian president after coup.
(I knew the congressional black caucus went to help the Haitian president but not Powells part in it)

RIP to a great dignified man. He was a republican but never a c00n. A proud black man. Something these modern day republican sambo c00ns will never be.

Also before the anti vaccine morons come in here, being vaccinated doesn’t mean you’ll be 100% safe, but it drastically improves your chances of survival compared to not being vaccinated.

Wow this is shocking. I remember his name was pretty big in the 90s and early 2000's since he was one of the top black federal leaders in the country.
