Only 3% of 'African-Americans' vote republican, and 'African-Americans' make up only 17% of the population. It is mathematically possible that he was selected based strictly on his qualifications, but the odds that he was the most qualified candidate not factoring in race are astronomical.You seem to be saying that it is not likely that Steele could be qualified for his job since he's black. How is that not racist? As far as I am concerned, you have only substantiated my concerns. I happen to believe that loyal Republicans are able to look at a man's qualifications without regard to the color of his skin. Until recently I thought only Democrats thought otherwise.
The politically correct shroud of paranoid fear that envelopes you makes you read things that are not written. I am not Pollyanna enough to believe that the cynical power brokers at the top of the GOP did not take his race into account when appointing him head of the RNC
nine days after the first black President was sworn in. I never said he wasn't qualified, I only asked if he was the
best qualified. And since
Michael Steele supports affirmative action would he object to being promoted based on his race?
Race issues will never end unless everyone is allowed to discuss them. While you allow Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to be the only people who can discuss race then racism will not end in America.
