Colin Powell, dies after complications from Covid-19

Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

It's funny but I bet Colin powers mother and father never considered themselves black until they went to America.

I think it's okay to discuss whatever you want about his career, life and decisions but it doesn't help to be rude about it. He was a fine soldier. 8-)
Silence, exile, and cunning.

According to this source one could conclude the Iraq war was caused by James Gandolfini's real life inspiration wanting to shag a senator and these angry Scots not getting along well with their American counterparts, not Colin Powell.

But his biography says he was just "following orders"
I mean I’m setting a low bar to clear, I’ll grant you that. He was slightly less egregious than most of his party colleagues.

Yup. Unfortunately 99.2% effective is still 0.8% ineffective. He was pretty old so very much in the high risk group.

He also had cancer, in addition to being pretty old.

What is it about Jamaica? Many consequential people seem to come from there.
Name more than 10 without the aid of Google.
10 seems a notable amount for the population size.

Brian Lara, Sir Viv Richards, Usain Bolt (love the name), Harry Belafonte, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Colin Powell, Shelley-Anne Fraser-Pryce, Chris Gayle, Pattison, or if 2 names needed, Ziggy Marley
I knew I should have put a condition of no sportsman or musicians. Try again. Otherwise it looks like your trying to prove the Natural Talent myth.

PS You can't claim Colin Powell he was born in in New York. Otherwise you're going to have loads of people claiming Bob Marley and therefore Scotland being the home of reggae.
We can always count on Gavin Mac to derail a death thread.

Whats up Gav? Can't find one nice thing to say about Colin Powell, much prefer to troll other members' posts?

Unlike you, I'd say Powell was a true patriot.

I think Gavin Mac wouldn't know any cricketers and would say so!
I just thought it was funny when someone noted how comes there are so many noteworthy Jamaicans and I could only think of sportsman's and musicians apart from one or two politicians.
I don't see what the problem is .It's not as if any of his family will be reading this thread and take offence.
Can you think of consequential Jamaican?
