“Taxpayers deserve to know why the president’s $787 billion stimulus package failed to keep unemployment below 8 percent. We deserve to know why his government takeover of health care stalled somewhere between the House and the Senate, if according to President Obama, the American people support it.

When radical liberal groups like the NAACP, or the Congressional Black Caucus say that Lott’s comment were racist and Reid’s were not; what they mean is they agree with how Reid votes, therefore he can’t be racist. I disagree with most things the Catholic Church stands for, but does that make me anti-Catholic? Why can’t Lott disagree with Blacks on affirmative action, King’s birthday, or certain government programs without being labeled a racist?

How many of you know that Lott was one of the main sponsors of a bill that allocated over a billion dollars to Black universities to update their technology infrastructure? Blacks must be more strategic and less emotional. Just because one disagrees with a person’s voting record does not mean the person is a racist. This is part of the reason for the push back on a lot of racial issues by whites. They don’t want to be vilified simply because they have a different view. Any fair minded person would agree. That’s why dialogue is very important in matters like these.

If you want to get a reaction out of a largely black audience, tell them you’re a black Republican. Black members of the GOP are the butt of jokes from comedians, in TV shows and in movies. A member of al-Qaeda probably would give a black Republican a run for his money in terms of who is more disliked in the black community. The sense of being a turncoat against your race is pervasive.

The words “Uncle Tom” and “Token” are political and psychological terms often used by Democrats towards minority Republicans. They are effective manipulative tools which seek to exert in-group pressure on minorities who do not think like they do! No better proof of this is the recent, hateful and unprofessional comments made by a recent guest of Keith Olberman: former Newsweek columnist named Richard Wolffe.

Steele was elected by the entire RNC membership, which is a national election. If anyone deserves to be at the policy making table, speaking for the membership of a national political party, it is Steele - not a Senator from Kentucky or a Representative from Ohio. Simply put, the Republican congressional leadership had their chance to shape policy for six years; the result of their failure was felt in 2006 (losing the majority) and 2008 (losing the Presidency) to Barack Obama.

RNC Chairman Michael Steele’s appearance at Howard University is a sign of change, but people perhaps are focusing too much on the short term appearance versus the long term implications.

HHR blog just got news that RNC Chairman Michael Steele is visiting Howard University the nations premire black univeristy (founded by Republicans) The College Republican Chapter is having a Town Hall meeting next Tuesday with Chairman Steele on its campus in Washington,DC. According to HHR sources he will be coming for an open dialogue with the students not only at Howard but the DC community at large. It will be September 1st, 2009 at 6:30pm in the West Ballroom in the Armour J. Blackburn Student Center which is the Student Center on Howard Universities Main campus in Washington DC.

Certainly my visit here today does not represent some miraculous breakthrough in GOP-NAACP relations. This is the first baby step in many more baby steps to come. After all, we all know that old loyalties and attitudes die hard. But the question is, if the GOP is willing to take those steps, will the NAACP be willing to do the same?

WASHINGTON - Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele released the following statement today:
“On June 19, 1865 President Abraham Lincoln’s vision of a more perfect union through the abolition of slavery became a reality to the remaining slaves of Galveston, TX. On that date, nearly two and half years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Union soldiers brought word to this last group of slaves that they were, in fact, free men and women.

Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, is more like chairman of the bored. If committee members would spend half as much time fighting Democrats and President Obama as they spend fighting Steele, maybe the party wouldn’t be in such disarray. In all my years in this party, I have never seen any other chairman micro-managed to this extent. It is well documented that Steele got off to a rocky start, but either he is going to be chairman or he’s not. If the committee doesn’t have confidence in him, then vote him out. But, if he is chairman, …

In recent news the former GOPAC Chairman and Lieutenant Governor from Maryland, Michael Steele made history by becoming the first African American to lead the Republican National Committee. In Steele’s victory speech he proclaimed to set out a new mission to take the Republican Party to every corner and inner city neighborhood in America, as an effort to rebuild the Grand Old Party. Unfortunately all conservatives are not on board with this urban agenda, leading some republican critics to suggest that it’s the wrong direction for the party. In a recent article, former Klu Klux Klan member, David Duke …

“If ever there did exist within the GOP such a thing as a music director, i.e. conductor that had the skills and know how to provide a harmonious melody to this musical ensemble, it is the Party’s new Chairman Michael Steele”
 
By Richard Ivory
 A friend once summed up the GOP’s minority and urban problem by saying that “while most people in the world like music, different songs have different meanings to different people. The GOP has become a one-hit wonder acting as if there is only one song and one tune. We need to be playing tunes that resonate with different …
