Oooops!  Say What?!?

Michael Steele: White Republicans 'Scared of Me'

Monday, November 9, 2009 7:26 PM

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele is stirring controversy once again with a video interview in which he said that some white Republicans are “scared” of him when he walks into a room.

Steele was responding to TV One’s Roland Martin, who said that “white Republicans have been scared of black folks,” Steele replied: “You’re absolutely right.”

“I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me,” said Steele, the first African-American RNC chairman, Politico reported. “I’m like, ‘I’m on your side.’”

Steele said the party needs to focus on “education and the economy” to better reach black voters. He credited Governors-elect Chris Christie in New Jersey and Bob McDonnell in Virginia for running a message that could appeal to black voters.

“You saw in Christie and you saw in McDonnell a door open because they went in and engaged,” he said. “McDonnell was very deliberate about spending.”

McDonnell, who secured the endorsement of BET founder Sheila Johnson early in his run, used her as one of his top surrogates on the campaign trail, according to Politico. Both GOP candidates, however, lost the black vote by landslide margins according to exit polls.

“Sheila Johnson was on his team. I mean, that was a big deal,” Steele said. “He engaged her and she helped navigate him through that relationship.”

You see, on September 1,2009, I had already sent a letter to Mr. Steele concerning this very matter in which he could have by now properly addressed it instead of adding to the canard that we Republicans are either racist Whites or Black "Uncle Tom" sell-outs against Blacks, the Emancipated Slave citizens.

 

His unfortunate comments comes as a result of either or all of the following reasons, they are:

 

* Mr. Steele is attempting to be cool and hip by placating and ingratiating Democrat Blacks who already thinks that he is the chief Black Republican, grand-daddy-king of the "Uncle Tom" sell-outs, being Chair of the Party;

 

* Mr. Steele is ignorant of what it is that the Republican leadership is uncomfortable and scared of about Blacks, because he never explained why they are "scared" of us, which is shamefully divisive, racist and hypocritical on his part;

 

* Mr. Steele knows that the phobia of Blacks by the Republican leadership is not based in racism or even dislike (as evidenced by the Party's historical record), but rather the RNC members are in a quandary as to what do about the classic, "slave quarters", self-destructive maladies ravaging the Emancipated Slave citizens, while he himself does not know how to lead in the matter

 

> By the way, historical records actually reveal that it has been the Democrat as the racist entity against Blacks even to this day.

 

Please contact Mr. Michael Steele and let him know that you don't approve of his outrageous behavior of attacking us as White racist and Black so-called sell-outs...and demand that he communes with my colleagues and I.
