Yes, he
actually said that:
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele told a group of students that African-Americans “don’t have a reason” to vote for Republicans.
Steele was asked Tuesday night during a speech to roughly 200 students at DePaul University why African-Americans should vote for GOP candidates.
“You really don’t have a reason, to be honest,” Steele responded, as was first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times. “We haven’t done a very good job of giving you one.”
“We have lost sight of the historic, integral link between the party and African-Americans,” Steele said. “This party was co-founded by blacks, among them Frederick Douglass. The Republican Party had a hand in forming the NAACP, and yet we have mistreated that relationship. People don’t walk away from parties, Their parties walk away from them.
“For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.”
Needless to say, regardless of context or what he might have meant about the need for outreach, what's being reported in the Leftist media is that Steele said blacks have no reason to vote Republican and that Steele 'admitted the GOP's racism.'
Well done, Mr. Chairman! You stuck your foot into your stoo-pid mouth...again.
Actually, doofus, there are plenty of reasons for blacks to vote Republican.
The GOP at its conservative best -
and it's vitally important to say that - champions the rights of the individual rather than the rights of government. It favors lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, and a climate where people are allowed to achieve on their own merits and RISE UP, the quality above all that has people fighting to come to America. In short, it stands for freedom instead of government dependent slavery.
It favors life over the right to kill babies if they happen to be inconvenient.The Democrat's abortion-on-demand policies have disproportionately affected blacks just the way Planned Parenthood's racist founder Margaret Sanger intended.
And it favors families and the sort of moral traditions taught in the majority of black churches as opposed to the Democrat's policies starting in the 1960's that decimated the black family.
It even favors giving working families the right to take advantage of the same private schools favored by the elites and choose how their children are educated and get away from unsafe, dysfunctional public schools run by inept, corrupt bureaucrats and the teacher's unions.
And most importantly, it gives black folks a chance to vote for a party that actually considers them equal and capable individuals, rather than a box to check in the racial bean counting lottery that goes along with the inherent liberal racism of artificial results...predicated on the racist expectation of failure.
Oh, and that so-called 'Southern strategy'? For one thing, it wasn't just Southern in origin but extended to the Midwest and the Sun Belt. Nixon first used that term and trust me, it wasn't successful so much because of racism as it was because of the hell storm of counter culture anarchy and violence the Left unleashed on the country in 1968 and the Democrat party's embracing of that demon seed four years later with McGovern in 1972. Watch videos of the '72 Democrat convention some time to see what America was looking at and why the country went overwhelmingly Republican and abandoned the Democrats and their values.
That's the sort of things someone like Michael Steele ought to be telling blacks, instead of telling them they're right all along to stay on the Left's plantation.
Doesn’t Steele’s role go beyond creating soundbites for the Democrats and extend to developing and communicating a strategy how to engage the African American voter in the Republican party? Is he
working for Obama and the DNC?
At this point I doubt they'll fire him, but he definitely needs to be put in a secure bunker somewhere in handcuffs and a ball gag with a moat around it so that no reporter can get to him until it's time to cut him adrift in a floatie with the Humboldt current...just to make sure he doesn't find his way back again..
