Michael Steele: The GOP Has To ‘Confront’ Race & ‘They Don’t Know How To Talk About It’
HTML-код

- At the Ronald Reagan dinner, Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) communications director Ian Walters made a comment saying Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee, was elected to that position because he was Black. He said that while Steele was in the room to hear it.
Roland Martin talks with Michael Steele about the comment and what it says about the Republican party.
“He makes the comment and a brother comes out the room saying you see this. I was like, ‘oh hell no what’s going on in there,'” explained Steele. “I went inside the room and kind of stood there.”
On his radio show the next day he had a conversation with Matt Schlapp the head of CPAC about the incident in which Steele believes turned out to be a revealing conversation.
“What was in the conversation that Matt and I had on the show the next day is the kind of conversation that typically happens in closed rooms,” explained Steele. “There are a lot of issues that this party has to confront and number one is race… they don’t know how to talk about it.”

Michael Steele get WOKE my BROTHER!!!!!👌
Don't hold your breath.
Jones206 I won't he wants to be over in shark infested waters.👌
Steele get them shackles off, the Republican party told you and show you who they are, wake up.
I don’t know why he’s still apart of the GOP! Something ain’t right with him...smdh
for the same reason he joined history shows us that some blacks will never out grow that sick desire to be accepted and loved by others. Black Men like myself have no desire to be accepted or loved by the white man my mind just don't work that way screw the white man purple man green man any group of men that accepts and encourages the ignorance of the Republican Party Mike Steel should be executed for treason against his race. The damage he's helped them devils spread to black and low income families throughout this nation is unrepairable. F..k Steel!!!
Michael come over from the darkside...lol
Being African-American in the Republican Party is like being a chicken for Colonel Sanders.
He's a proud Plantation Boy
When you don't see color you might as well be invisible.
bbridge4th.
Because melanin is the spice of life. I can't imagine a world without it. I see me. I see you.
bbridge4th : People luv to say this, " I don't see color" like it's a good thing. Luv your saying. Don't see color, might as well be invisible. See me, cause I see you.
I said a while back The Gop is the Modern Day Plantation.Mfers wanted to debate and get angry about it.😆
Michael Steele stuck in the sunken place.
But is Steele going to stay on the Gop Plantation,that's all we want to know?
In a word, "YES".
Black golf needs to bond together and start a new party and call it the PANTHER PARTY. Do away with the Republican & Democrat parties.....
Thank you for speaking on this😀
Michael Steele✊🏾✌🏾
Lesson: Outside of your immediate family, be careful of whom you align yourself with. So stay over there and deal with it or make changes in your life.
Now Michael wants to get together to sing kumbayah! You can't be surprised!
Until someone walks in another person's shoes and experiences what they have gone through for years just because of their skin color, they will NEVER know how to address it. It is impossible. That's like a male doctor telling a female patient about her body that he will NEVER experience physically! He can ONLY go on what he has LEARNED, NOT what he has experienced!
People been saying this about the GOP for decades. He the one who just now saying this.
I can't understand how Michael Steele couldn't see how racist Matt Schlapp is and as why can't he just say the GOP is racist
Calling someone a racist in order quiet an arguement isnt talking about race either. Thats the democrats so both parties have a problem.
Mr Steel I want to say that I admire you for telling it like it is about racism within the Republican Party. Unlike other Black Republican, like Paris Dennard who want admit this because he is a Uncle Tom looking to make a buck at any cost!!!!!
A Black Republican is an Oxymoron
Its not cracks its holes duh.
So sad, hes still begging for a plate at there table, shit is so sad!
Steele.... please leave the party. This Republican Party is not the one you joined years ago.
it's good he stays we need a canary in the coal mine
They know how.they just don't want to.so why do some of us keep asking the question we already know the answer to.
Mike was used and we all knew it at the time it was happening! We are not surprised by republicans comments. Mike himself talks differently now, than he did when he was running RNC.
Why is it some shit has to happen to us personally to have a understanding wit someone other than!!! who now he has a platform to state the obvious wow
I think I'm going to be a troll, I need the money. Don't take it personal its just a job.
