Colin Powell: Calling President 'Lazy' Has Racial Roots

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell on NBC’s “Meet The Press” with David Gregory: “When I see another former Governor, after the President’s first debate when he didn’t do very well, says that the President was ‘lazy’ — he didn’t say he was slow, he was tired, he didn’t do well — he said he was lazy. Now that may not mean anything to most Americans, but to those of us who are African-Americans the second word was ‘shiftless’ and then there’s a third word after that.”
