RNC chair Micheal Steele plays the race card, says Some white Republicans are ’scared of me’

While i’m certainly no Republican, but definitely a conservative, I sure ain’t scared of Michael Steele. Why should I? He hasn’t done a damn thing since becoming RNC chair. Yet for some reason, he feels the need to play the race card, claiming that “White Republicans” are “scared” of him. Raw Story mentions that during a weekend interview, Michael Steele told TV One’s Roland Martin that he has experienced fear from other selected members of his party because of the color of his skin.

“I mean I’ve been in the room and they’ve been scared of me,” the RNC chairman said about fellow Republicans.

This whole race baiting thing has gotten so tiresome, its a joke. Not even the “right” is void of it. This used to be a liberal trademark. Congrats Steele!

    You know, I had a genuine post-racial feeling with this guy- not empty rhetoric like Obama, seemed to me he was largely focused on issues/campaigns… so what’s THIS all about?

    I’ve defended him on my blog more than once and gave him the complete benefit of the doubt, too- although a bit out of his depth, I thought he’d grow into the job- I like his personality, and hey- at least the guy’s got a sense of humor.

    But after NY-23 I lost most respect for him… that’s largely his fault for letting it go down like that– he’s the boss, and it was botched, that’s all I know.

    Hey Mike, I’m not afraid of you, man- unless you’re referring to your ability to quarterback us through the 2010 midterms that are the one last hope for this country.

    We need to get that right, so I’m sure you’ll understand it if you get benched– nothing personal, and CERTAINLY nothing racial about it… you’re just disappointing us, that’s all.
