Chairman Steele lures blacks to GOP with ‘fried chicken and potato salad’

The lesson to take away from this is that Micheal Steele is quite gaffe-prone and is easily prompted to make extremely stupid or stupid-sounding comments on while recording devices or reporters are present. He makes Joe Biden look like Barack Obama.

I think the true ignorance is revealed in your statement, MoonLoon. Maybe you should examine poverty rates before Johnson's programs and after.

You are free to compare the poverty rates. In doing so I suggest reviewing the increase in illegitimate births, drug addiction, and an increase in violent crime. Americans were promised a better society as poverty was alleviated. The data does not support this conclusion. Therefore, I declare the War on Poverty to be a massive scam fostered on the back of middle class taxpayers, with no return on that investment. As well as , harming those that it was meant to help. A mass exodus from rural areas to urban areas has not been good for most American families, black or white, unless the goal of the handouts was to smooth the way for Cargill to take over large areas of land and displace the small farmers, utilizing farming methods, only feasible on a large scale.

And you blame the reduction of poverty rates rather than the de-industrialization of American urban centers and white flight?

Brother man, did you know that he was responding to a gay black gay questioner?

he asked: " What are you going to do to include gays and minorities."
To which Steele responded: tell ya'll to come! join us.

And then the young black man said: "I'll bring the collard greens"

And THAT was when Steele responded, as a black man to another black man: "I've got the friend chicken and potato salad."

Can you tell me that was racist? Really?

eleganza, I can't video on this computer currently. I would assume you are referring to Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson or Kweisi Mfume?? (or Colin Powell trying to give a legitimate, serious sounding reason for voting for Obama......) Thanks!

Martin Luther King, Jr. was a staunch liberal and would laugh in the faces of the idiots at the NBRA who stand in stark contrast to that for which he stood. The Democratic Party of the South was the party of white, overwhelmingly racist, conservatives, but the realignment of the two parties that began with the civil rights legislation of the 1960s and intensified with the racist Southern Strategy of Nixon and Reagan changed all of that. Believe me, I had the honor of hearing Coretta Scott King speak about her opinion of the party of Bush, Reagan, and Nixon, and that is not the party that the Kings supported.

But go ahead, continue posting your racist garbage under your pedo name.

Eleganza, tell me you didn't just call Steele a house negro!

here we go! see, this is the open minded liberal, who stands against discrimination, to save the marginalized, free the oppressed--calling black republicans HOUSE NEGROES, OREOS, UNCLE TOMS.

I'd have to say that you have just revealed your own racist beliefs.

to quote Malcom X...I guess you'll be quoting Che next. Yeah, that's a good idea. Che could be your spokesman for Health Care reform.

“In fact, if Christ himself stood in my way, I, like Nietzsche, would not hesitate to squish him like a worm”--Che

If you crack jokes about all you need to lure in minorites is fried chicken and potato salad, and you're in a political party that panders to the upper crusts of white society, then yeah you're going to get called an "Uncle Tom".

If he had answered the question seriously at first, then I would have some respect for him. However, that seems to be beyond his intellect to do.

you don't know the full context of the story.

read my other responses and see if you still think it was wrong

Sweet...I'll bring whips, and stilettos...lol...when I read statements re subject, I just ignore the ignorant...keep laughing...its a dying art...Eden...

the questioner was BLACK. and gay.

these geniuses on the page missed the fact that the questioner SAID "I'll bring the collard greens"

And that is when Steele said he'd bring the chicken and potatoes.

Nice!

Wrong.
The democrat's Great Society programs of 1960's have bankrupted this country. From Medicare/Medicaid, immigration, failed energy polices, federal education bureaucracy, environmental policies and other soacl engineering agendas have incrementally ground the U.S. to the state it is in now.

LOL...you can buy some "chicken spray" - to smell like ya been eatin' it...works for me...

Didn't mean to copy-cat-and paste you. I'm no cheater. Sorry 'bout that.

Banshee I meant I had posted the you tube link before...this story is yours my friend.

As usual, neocongo, you don't know what you're talkinga bout.
The black gay questioner asked: "What are you going to do to include gays and minorities."

And then the young black man said: "I'll bring the collard greens"

He was making a reference to soul food.

And THAT was when Steele responded, as a black man to another black man: "I've got the friend chicken and potato salad."

Smoke another one and then explain to everyone how that is racist.

lmoa

MAYBE YOU SHOULD PULL YOUR HEAD OUT.

Did you hear what the black gay questioner asked?

What are you going to do to include gays and minorities.
To which Steele responded: tell ya'll to come! join us.

Nothing racist about that, dude. Jeez.
