Oh dear, not him again. He referred to the end of slavery in this interview, but we don’t think he really believes it. We asked Limbaugh to tell him, but it turns out, he doesn’t believe it either. The RNC’s biggest mistake continues to embarrass himself by simply opening his mouth. Remember my post, Thou shalt not Steele? Well, this is why.
In a meeting with a group of young Republicans, Steele was asked by a blogger how he would reach out to “diverse populations.” Some ignoramus in the audience shouted “I’ll bring the collard greens” and Steele immediately reprimanded the culprit for his ignorant, stereotypical response. No, of course he didn’t. Steele chimed in with “I got the fried chicken and potato salad.” Yes, he did, and it’s on tape.
He went on to explain that the Republican Party fought to end slavery, feeding the slaves fried chicken and potato salad to keep their spirits up. Ok, he didn’t say that last part, but he was probably thinking it. He also interspersed his comments with words like “yall” and “my mama” because, as we all know, “diverse populations” in addition to enjoying fried chicken and potato salad at hip hop rallies, also refer to people as “yall” and their mothers as “my mama.” Idiot.
