Former RNC head Michael Steele stunned to learn that he was only hired as the token black.

Courtesy of The Hill: 

Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said Saturday that a suggestion from a CPAC official that Steele was only chosen to lead the RNC because he is black underscores a tense relationship with race within the GOP. 

"It’s the groupthink that has emerged within the party that has now poisoned the national dialogue," Steele said on his SiriusXM show "Steele & Ungar." 

"To hear it come from a young man ... a minority himself ... it makes it even crazier," Steele added. 

His comments came the morning after Ian Walters, the communications director for the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) being held at the National Harbor, Md., told an audience that Steele was only elected RNC chair because "he was a black guy."

Steele offered a bunch of excuses to try and explain why this statement was not true, but come on we all know that it is.

Steele was elected to head the RNC IMMEDIATELY after Barack Obama won the presidency.

The second they announced Steele's appointment I knew why they put him there.

It was for the same reason that they nominated Sarah Palin to be McCain's running mate.

It's called "tokenism" and it is rampant throughout the Republican party.


Remember how Trump referred to that guy behind him as "My black guy."

"See I can't be a racist because I have one of my own black people."

And we know they do this because of a little thing called "projection."

Think back to how many times you have seen some Right Wing dipshit accuse the Democrats of "using the black people," or of only treating them like property that they can manipulate into voting for them, without ever doing anything to meet their needs.

Of course that completely ignores the fact that many of the Democrats ARE African Americans who of course are sympathetic to the needs of their constituents.

But that is what projection is, taking your own despicable traits and projecting them onto others.

If Michael Steele did not realize that he was being used, well then he deserves to have been manipulated by a party that never gave a shit about him, or people like him.

      Dominionists Head To Trump’s DC Hotel To Bring ‘Heaven’s Rule’ To America

      While thousands of conservative political activists gather just outside Washington, D.C., this week for the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), a gathering of spiritual warriors will pack the Trump International Hotel just blocks from the White House. The sold-out event—The Turnaround: An Appeal to Heaven National Gathering—has been organized by a group of dominionists who consider themselves to be modern-day apostles and prophets, including Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs and Lou Engle.

      Event leaders are associated with the New Apostolic Reformation, which believes a triumphant, dominion-taking church will help bring about the return of Christ, and many are part of POTUS Shield, a network of self-described apostles and prophets who believe President Trump was anointed by God to help bring that all about.

      These Dominionists are the ones who actually repeatedly stop paying their mortgages because....rapture! There are inspired business people who prey on these retards (sorry, only word that fits) by selling them promises to take care of their pets, in case the pets aren't raptured. People actually have paid for this service, up front, because...Rapture.

    3. More like why would any black man (or woman or LGBTQ or minority) in their right mind embrace a political party that makes no secret of their racism, misogynation, bigotry, hatred, etc.

      Why the poor vote for a party that only serves the rich and repeatedly screws them over I don't understand.

      Steele is intelligent and articulate and seems to have integrity. I'm sure none of that was considered when they gave him the job. He represented the Republicans well, much better than they deserved.

      I find it surprising that it never occurred to him he might have been chosen because he was black. It was the first thing most of the rest of us thought of.

    Both parties use race in evil ways. The only pure hearted real politicians in history who never lost their souls are McCain and Palin. And they both have no issues admitting fault or failure to boot.

    Why do you think their kids have high standards and are independent with a strong sense of family. Liberals hate that. Even a 9 yr old boy understands how amazing it is that his grandmother is Sarah Palin and how great she is. And he understands how fucked up some liberals are.
