(VIDEO) Col Lawrence Wilkerson On Republican Party: My Party Is Full Of Racists

Today on the Ed Show, Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, former General Colin Powell Chief of Staff decided to get tough and frank about the current state of the Republican Party.He was responding to John Sonunu’s racist statement where he said that General Colin Powell endorsed President Obama because they are both black (paraphrased).

Mitt Romney has not made any attempt to remove Sonunu who seems to have a preponderance of hate for the president as he continues to insult him racially both subliminally and overtly. Change will only occur when evil is called out as Colonel Wilkerson is doing.

Colonel Wilkerson said:

My party is full of racists and the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants president Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as commander in chief and President and everything to do with the color of his skin and that is despicable.


See this great and explosive video HERE.

He was definitely right. He's only speaking truthful and honest. And at least he admits it.

He is more like the Republican Party I remember hearing about from my childhood. My father, born 1911 now deceased, would approve.

I am so tired of these GOP voices that are given so much creedence, just because of money. They are destroying us and a danger to the planet.

Obama loves this country and the ideals that most of us need to have come to pass. The GOP hates those ideals, and the people country more than any foreign enemy ever could.

Franks sounds like he's pretty well set for life. I wonder if he ever figured out where that skid of money went?

What a bunch of crooks.
