It's quite weird to watch Steele try to simultaneously try to sound more street and at the same time try to talk like one of the good ol' boys.

Not to mention that he has a penchant of saying the most idiotic, stereotypical ish about black people. I need him to stop. NOW.

Silence fills the room for a moment while the other evil GOP overlords process this information.
That must mean, remarks a stunned Dick Cheney, that NOT ALL BLACK PEOPLE ARE THE SAME.
Mitch McConnell faints. Lindsay Graham attempts to revive him with smelling salts. Pandemonium seizes the secret evil lair.

Wait, I'm confused. GOP Chairman is not considered a position of leadership within the GOP?

He's more like that episode of The Cosby Show when Claire was brought on that Sunday morning talking head program. She tried to interact with the white hosts on various subjects, but they told her bluntly that she was only there to provide the urban/black point of view.
`Cept Claire Huxtable didn't cotton to that, and told the two old white men what-for. The question is: can Michael Steele find his inner Claire Huxtable?

I mean, only the old school GOPers could make me feel bad for Michael Steele. They select the dude in a panic after Obama was elected, but can't even muster the strength to put on a good act that they have changed one damn bit.

Um, only 1/2 correct. Clearly Obama does not have a radical political agenda, but the best argument against Steele's "if it ain't slavery, it ain't racist" charge is to point out that even if Obama *did* have a radical political agenda, the way in which Joe Whatshisface disrespected Obama's speech is likely a disrespect for Obama because of his race.
It has nothing to do with the content of Obama's policy. It has to do with the manner in which he was criticized.

What tears this country up is not men in white sheets, burning crosses on lawns. That's easy to denounce; it's easy to look down upon those people. It's the institutionalized racism that is wrecking this country, and yeah, maybe Joe Wilson won't ever get it, and maybe half of the Democrats won't get it, but maybe 100 people will realize that, even though they don't "hate black people," they are racist. And that even if they don't hold seemingly-negative stereotypes about a race, that they're still racist. And maybe I'm naive - I probably am - but maybe these 100 people or so will figure that out, and from there, it can spread.
Cause I'll tell you what. Pretending it doesn't exist hasn't worked for the last 50 years. We're going to have to figure out something better.

But anyone with one good working eye can see that Mr. President is being disrespected and criticized in profoundly unwarranted ways and that the foundation of that criticism is white resentment. The truth of the matter is that a Black man is the leader of the FREE world and some white people don't like it one bit. Not only is he black; he's most awesome and conducting a presidency like not other. His legacy will not be denied and I think a lot of people are uncomfortable with the table of POWER being turned. White people are ALWAYS on top and Barack represents that shift that makes those used to being in control uneasy.
Barack is the elected President of the people and its so sad that some folks just can't see this man's ingenuity and hope for greater good. There are way too many people in this country invested in not wanting evolution.
