Michael Steele & Reverse Racism
There have been numerous AC articles written about Steele since his elevation within the RNC. Specifically, CP Shanika wrote an excellent piece drawing attention to the hypocrisy of electing Obama is all good, yet Steele is a sellout. I am not attempting to repeat any of her points and hope I do not "step on her toes" by this offering, as she did a far better job at the task than could I. I have a different point altogether.
I read a short article this morning by a CP who was calling Steele "Uncle Tom" and alluding to various other derogatory concepts about Steele, the motivation of Republicans and just plain White folks in general. But where I really got my panties in a wad is when I read the comment, reprised here for all to enjoy.
Here is the comment:
"This is why blacks everywhere should resist the Republican racist agenda. In a Lily-white filled party them bastards pick the one colored to undermine Obama. It's sicking and only hurting themselves; go ahead and parade around with your token and bull---- with your party. Obama for President 2012."
Specifically the following passages were especially demonstrative of my overall point: "This is why blacks everywhere should resist the Republican racist agenda," as well as "In a Lily-white filled party them bastards. . . ." The comment was left by an unregistered person calling themselves "Every Black Man." I would surmise the name is a further effort to represent that this man's opinion is the voice of Black America.
Listen up folks. The world is filled with people who think they know something and the CP author of the article and the commentator are both exceptionally guilty of this transgression. Here's a little history for ya.
Republicans ended slavery. It was Southern Democrats that fought against that concept.
Republicans are the people who passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The South used to be called the "Solid South." Anyone know why? Because it was a Democrat stronghold, even into the late 1960's. The Civil Rights Act was fought vehemently against by Democrats, NOT Republicans.
To this day I personally know Southern White Democrats who said they would never vote for a Republican because "Lincoln freed the f'ing N-words and he was a Republican." That is a verbatim quote I have had said to me a thousand times in the last 30 years by Southern White Democrats.
So if it suits Black folks, keep on calling White people every manner of evil, especially Republicans. That you are wrong means little as perception is everything, but you are historically and factually wrong. You think you know so much that just isn't true, and this concept is a primary example of such.
For the record, Michael Steele was the Maryland Lt. Governor who ran in 2006 for a Senate seat in Maryland. He was defeated. Since that time Steele has been lobbying for the head of the RNC job. Steele was campaigning for the RNC job non-stop since his 2006 electoral defeat. Consult google for the records and the dates if you're at all interested in facts and realities as opposed to your closely held racism, hate and stupid partisan hopes.
Steele was on Fox all throughout the primaries last year and the talk was rather consistent that he would like to be RNC Chair.
That Obama was elected makes it look like Steele is a "Tom" answer to the Obama Presidency. Nothing is farther from the truth, but then again, when it comes to truth and fact, race relations, politics and facts just get in the way, right folks? By all means stick to your completely erroneous and provably so opinions. You are wrong. Do you care?
Prolly not. It's way more fun to hang on to anger, racism and holding dear whatever prejudices you'd like, right? I mean, when the choice is your own prejudices versus truth, truth is usually the victim, right? You should be ashamed of yourselves on many levels.
Ashamed to be a racist. Ashamed to announce it to the world. Ashamed to be so factually wrong. And especially ashamed because you'd rather think you're right than to be accurate, fair or factual. I'm not sure that's what Dr. King had in mind.
I am however pretty sure calling me such hateful things will do little to bring reconciliation. So, what is it you're really after, if not reconciliation and all that would mean?
So will the facts change your minds? Steele has been running for RNC Chair long before Obama was the nominee of the Democrats. So despite your racist opinions, this is not the RNC trying to trump anything. This is just a bunch of racists running their exceptionally uniformed mouths. As I said before, the worst thing Republicans want to see happen to Obama is to see him defeated for reelection in 2012. Yep, like Rush said, that will be enough to make us racists too, huh?

Post a Comment...somebody is Bs'ing someone, and it's Dems doing it to Blacks, the poor and the nation. They tell the poor that only Dems will help them. Odd... $11 TRILLION dollars and according to Dems poverty is worse than ever, so if the poor and Blacks have been counting on the Dems to fix it, doesn't the evidence clearly show Dems have failed? Yet they keep saying it, don't they? And those that continue to vote Dem are showing they have bought what the Dems are selling, despite the empirical evidence to the contrary.
And Air Force, you're right - it was not my intent to bridge the racial divide. I am about truth and fact. I don't give a damn who does not like it - truth stands alone, regardless of the impressions in people's mind of the truth. Ever heard the phrase "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing?" Most voters, black & white, at least those that vote Dem, justify their beliefs with the most insane and foolish sophistry. A huge portion of their justifications are not facts, but they are Dem talking points. I will fight the propaganda. I adhere to the facts, and the facts are it's Dems who need a permanent underclass to keep Dems in power. Reps. depend on prosperity for support, but Dems use imagined ills and just plain non-facts and supposition to beg the downtrodden to continue to support Dems. If the Dems are so damned virtuous, why are there any poor left in the nation? We've spent $11 TRILLION dollars on the war on poverty since 1964, yet the Dems say poverty is worse than ever. Somebod
Sorry.... meant to say 45 years ago, not 55 tears ago.
Review the history & Cong. record for 1964. Read who said what about Blacks. It was REPUBLICANS that pushed thru the Civil Rights Act. LOOK IT UP!!!!! George Wallace was the DEM who blocked the school house doors to Black students. It was Democrats who favored Jim Crow. REVIEW THE RECORDS!!! It was the Cong. Dems of 1964 who DID NOT favor the Civil Rights Act/ So, if my facts are accurate, and they are, why are Blacks supporting Dems, the people who 55 years ago said Blacks were not equal and should not be given equal treatment. Again, REVIEW THE RECORDS!!!!!!!!!!!
Fair points, Air Force, but I am not PC. I will point out ignorance when i find it and I don't care what race the ignorant is. Truth stands alone. I didn't make any negative racial stereotypes. But like Rush said at the CPAC speech, "look at the 'groups' that have been depending on the Left for the last 50 years." Do we see any real progress? Nope. So if the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again, yet expect a different outcome, wouldn't these special interest groups that depend on the Left be the real life manifestations of that phrase? What has the Left done for Blacks? According to the Lefties themselves, Blacks are worse off than ever.So if in 50 years the Left hasn't helped Blacks, why are they still voting for them?
Not sure what your purpose is in writing this article. I don't believe it's your intent to bridge the divide between black and white, liberal and conservative, republican and democrat.
Maybe you're simply trying to educate the ignorant, though I didn't find this piece particularly enlightening. I think most people know Lincoln freed the slaves and that he was also a republican.
If you were trying to gain support among blacks for Michael Steele, you're not going to do that by calling them racist and stupid and writing an article with the premise that blacks are ignorant of history.
Here's a fact...Prop 8 passed in CA because blacks voted overwhemly against gay marriage. As in years past, blacks share many conservative values, I just think it's conservative rhetoric regarding race that blacks (and jews, hispanics, arabs and many other minority groups) reject.
Exactly Marquis. Sometimes a lib will try to trick me up and discuss liberals ideals of the Founders and try to link their 18th Century Liberalism to today's Liberalism/Progressive agenda. Progressivism inches ever closer to totalitarian fascism on the Left hand side of the aisle every single day. More collective, less individual every day. I'm afraid many peeps in this country are clueless as to reality. I tell them that yes, the Founders were Libs in the 18th Century understanding of government, for to resist monarchy in the 18th Century was indeed Liberal.
Amen, amen and amen.
Nice work.
Not for nothing--racism is racism. No such thing as reversed racism. If people hate they hate. I don't like when black peopleput down white people, and I don't like when white people put down black people...sorry for me not being PC...it's stupid. It gets us nowhere.
