"Ada pepatah kuno di masa perbudakan, ada budak yang tinggal di perkebunan, dan ada budak yang tinggal di rumah. Anda mendapat hak istimewa untuk tinggal di rumah jika Anda melayani tuannya persis seperti yang diinginkan tuannya agar Anda melayaninya. Itu memberi Anda hak istimewa. Colin Powell diizinkan untuk datang ke rumah tuan, selama dia akan melayani tuan sesuai dengan perintah tuannya. Sekarang, ketika Colin Powell berani menyarankan sesuatu selain dari apa yang ingin didengar tuannya, dia akan dikembalikan ke padang rumput."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

There's an old saying in the days of slavery, there are those slaves who lived on the plantation, and there were those slaves who lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master to exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. That gave you privilege. Colin Powell is permitted to come into the house of the master, as long as he will serve the master according to the master's dictates. Now, when Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture.
