雙語金句﹕「共和黨充斥種族主義者」

【明報專訊】「容我坦白說：我黨充斥種族主義者。好些人想把奧巴馬總統趕出白宮的真正原因無關其性格，也無關他當三軍總司令和總統是否稱職，全因其膚色。」


“Let me just be candid: My party is full of racists. 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.”

曾任美國首名黑人國務卿鮑威爾幕僚的退休上校威爾克森（Lawrence Wilkerson），炮轟所屬的共和黨「種族主義」。鮑威爾上周再「倒戈」支持奧巴馬連任後，羅姆尼陣營有人抨擊他作此決定只因與奧巴馬同屬黑人。
