Barack Obama, Condoleeza Rice, Colin Powell ...

The rise of the African in American Politics.

More of the same or a hope for the Future?

Colin Powell backs Barack Obama

US President George W Bush's first Secretary of State, Colin Powell, has endorsed Democratic election candidate Barack Obama for the White House.

Backing Mr Obama over John McCain, the Republican Party's choice to succeed Mr Bush in November, he said the Democrat had the "ability to inspire".

"All Americans... not just African-Americans" would be proud of an Obama win, he argued.

Mr McCain said he was not surprised at his "long-time friend's" decision.

You forgot Clarence Thomas, the most powerful of African Americans.

[Get Real!]

Well I heard that George Bush is black and has had the pigments of his skin changed or something… oh hang on… that’s Glenda Jackson I’m confusing him with…

I think this is fantastic! It gives real hope for a more open minded future.

The UK (and Cyprus) should learn from this.

The Supreme Court Judge ....

They all seem to have something to do with one Bush or the other, apart from Obama ... but he hasn't succeeded yet, although no doubt it would be to this Bush's supreme failure that might just push Obama through.

I see Obama has gone on record as saying he would not have appointed Clarence Thomas.

How so Niki? Are Black people more open minded?

Anyway, Britain is too conservative to go anywhere near having a Black PM, despite the large population of Africans and West Indians. They even object to being governed by the Welsh (Kinnock) or the Scots and Gordon Brown is being blamed by many for having Scottish interests above English interests (and not just simply for being a bad PM).

(Cyprus would struggle down this road, only because there are so few African people here .... ).
