Why Should Blacks vote GOP? Steele Says “No Good Reason.” |
Yes. Michael Steele said it. Seriously…
“You really don’t have a reason to, to be honest — we haven’t done a very good job of really giving you one. True? True,” Republican National Chairman Michael Steele told 200 DePaul University students Tuesday night. (source)
I believe if you listened really carefully at that EXACT same moment – you probably could’ve heard a collective “Um, duh.” from the subconscious of 89.3 % of black people across the land (That statistic is completely made up, but it sounds about right, right?) But that’s not the awesome part. THATS NOT THE AWESOME PART. In the same speech in which Steele clearly states that the GOP hasn’t given any reason for Blacks to throw in behind them he throws this nugget out….
“I have advised our state chairs: Don’t turn your nose up, or turn away those who are active in the Tea Party movement. Embrace them. Welcome them. Talk to them,” Steele said. “Those activists have now become a very large part of our voting bloc.
Cause…that’s a great way to get Black Folks to think the GOP cares about the interests of minorities? Embracing the TEA PARTY? That’s reasonable. I can see why he’s the National Republican Chairman. He’s a thinker.
I always make sure to fully disclosed that in my youth I played the role of a “Black Republican.” Yes, I did eventually get my shots and now its all cleared up (I can’t pass it on to you, unless I’m having a flare up…) so I feel like I understand what the arguments are, but right now there ARE no arguments. Signing up with the GOP now is like saying “Oooh, i want to get a job on that big ol’ Deathstar over there! It destroy’s planets? AWESOME. Oh, it would destroy my home world and all of my people with out giving a rats ass? SUPERB!”
Michael Steele is magical.
