Michael steele apologized for the souther strategy as a republican and ill applaud him for that. But still fukk him, he was the chairman of a white supremacist party and he knew they were running the southern strategy and he still worked for them.

He's an interesting character to me because he's been very pro black and truthful in his stances on race the last few years. Yet he was the chairman of a white supremacist party that did everything they could to take down Obama.
I wonder if he always felt like this and simply never spoke up or if when he had that wake up call moment a few years back it changed him.

He and Colin Powell are literally the ONLY black republicans i've ever felt like cared honestly about black people and weren't c00ns about it.

His battle with Rush Limbaugh years back showed him the limits of his power.
If I recall, he got tired of a radio commentator throwing shots from the sidelines, and publicly reminded him who was the Boss of the RNC. I cringed when he had to issue an apology to Rush. If you have to remind people who's the Boss, you're not the Boss.
Personally I still don't give them a pass.
If they want to have conservative beliefs that's their business, but it doesn't change the fact that they willingly supported the modern day version of the Confederacy.

Politics is an EXCHANGE!!!
Now he screams this. On MSNBC no less, which Republicans don't watch.
He shoulda been down in VA telling this to his fellow Repubs.

They’ve been calling him a RINO since the 00s.

Not a fan of his, but his battle with Rush was partly based on ego, and partly based on him fighting back against Rush's hand in nurturing that open Confederate/MAGA element that took over the party years later.

Steele to Rush: I'm sorry

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”
“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”
The dust-up comes at a time when top Democrats are trying to make Limbaugh the face of the Republican Party, in part by using ads funded by labor. Americans United for Change sent a fund-raising e-mail Monday that begins: “The Republican Party has turned into the Rush Limbaugh Party.”
Steele told CNN host D.L. Hughley in an interview aired Saturday night: “Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment. He has this incendiary — yes, it's ugly.”
Steele, who won a hard-fought chairman's race on Jan. 30, told Politico he telephoned Limbaugh after his show on Monday afternoon and hoped that they would connect soon.
“I went back at that tape and I realized words that I said weren’t what I was thinking,” Steele said. "It was one of those things where I thinking I was saying one thing, and it came out differently. What I was trying to say was a lot of people … want to make Rush the scapegoat, the bogeyman, and he’s not."
“I’m not going to engage these guys and sit back and provide them the popcorn for a fight between me and Rush Limbaugh,” Steele added. “No such thing is going to happen. … I wasn’t trying to slam him or anything.”
