Vein of intolerance in the GOP??? Says the first black Secretary of State, who was succeeded by another black Secretary of State, both nominated by a Republican President. First black nominated the Supreme Court was also done by Republican President. He then, in his own words, was subjected to a "high-tech" lynching by DEMOCRATS. US history must not be Colin's strong suit, or he would know that Lincoln was a Republican, that Eisenhower signed the Civil Rights Act into law, that the segregation laws of the south were created by DEMOCRATS, that a greater percentage of Republicans voted for Civil Rights Acts than did Democrats, and that black poverty and employment has increased under Obama.
