Unfortunately, I truly believed having a first black President might make racial tensions better but I was wrong.

In all seriousness, I don't think you were wrong, just the wrong person. Call me a RINO or whatever, but Gen. Colin Powell could have been, IMO, an excellent President. Supposedly his wife was afraid of assassination attempts and just wanted him to retire and live a "normal" life.
But in the event of a major international issue, I would much rather have Powell speaking into a camera telling the facts than those with, shall we say, protracted hanging down parts and don't know which end of a gun the bullet comes out of (Obama, Trump).
I guess I just respected Powell a lot. Just my opinion.
