RNC Chairman Michael Steele said the GOP has not given Blacks a reason to vote Republican. As a black conservative Republican, I ask, what is the GOP suppose to do; serve soul food at Republican events?
In other words, I reject the concept of dividing Americans into victimized groups and pandering to them. Besides, the Democrats are masters of insulting the intelligence of Americans by playing the old and tattered victim, race, and class envy cards. The GOP does not need to go down the same shameful disgusting road.
Brother Steele, how about the GOP showing a little respect for the American people by standing up for conservative values and principles? If you do this, they will come. Right minded Americans of all stripes will join our cause.
So how do you, Chairman Steele, think the GOP should attract more blacks? Do we adopt "liberal lite" policies? Do Republicans prove they are "down with the brothers" by embracing a lighter version of the lie promoted by the race-exploiting Democrats, by saying racism is still somewhat of a problem for blacks in America today?

Lloyd Marcus, you make too much sense. Ergo, the PTB will pay no attention.
“RNC Chairman Michael Steele said the GOP has not given Blacks a reason to vote Republican.”
Actually, he’s 100% correct. The RNC has been liberal light for years. Conservative blacks have no reason to vote for liberal light, and the majority of blacks like their liberalism straight up, no water, no ice. Just give me that govt money.
It is one thing to be incompetent. It is another to give aid and comfort to the enemy (the DNC).

Fire Steele now!
Spot on.
We're never going to out-pander the Liberals anyway, and it would be both toxic and immoral to try.
What a great article!
Steele keeps bringing up race when race isnt the subject.
He needs to get over race and get the job done.
It appears that is something he cannot do, so he needs to move on.
Lloyd is so damn brilliant!
Lloyd you are a true Patriot. Thanks for an article well written that speaks to
the Truth of the matter.
I think Steele is doing a fine job. I guess that’s just me.
Thank you Mr. Marcus, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I hate race counters. Stop being black Americans and start being Americans. Anyone who feels the need to count what race you are is a racist, federal government included. On the census my race is “human”.
....and your basis? Please enlighten us.....pleeeeease....
“Fine job” of doing what?
I love you, Lloyd (and you, of course, Mary). Your words hit the target.
NO, HE ISN'T!
He has now, basically, endorsed the RAT, i.e., the OPPOSITION, party. That is bad for any pubbie to do, but STEELE IS THE HEAD OF THE UNABLE-TO-REPRODUCE REPUBLICAN PARTY. It is like Bill Gates saying that white folks (or any race) shouldn't buy Microsoft! Utterly, utterly preposterous.
