So Colin Powell is allowed to endorse White candidates (as he did John McCain in the Republican primary) but he's not allowed to endorse a Black candidate? He's only allowed to endorse a White candidate just because he's Black ?

Am I getting this right?

Colin Powell is not allowed to endorse a Black candidate without being accused of being motivated by race ?

So let me see if I'm getting this right... us White folks can vote for other White folks and that's not about race, but Black people can't vote for other Black people because if they do, that means it's all about race.

Did I get that right?
